Finding better shortcuts in transcription tools

I’ve been looking into ways to shave off time while using transcription software, especially with so many new features rolling out. Has anyone found specific tools or hacks that really speed up the process? I recently discovered a hotkey combination that saves a few clicks, and I’m curious if there are more out there.

And using hotkeys is a game-changer! I found that customizing my shortcuts for frequently used phrases cut my time even more. Have you explored the macros feature?

I hear you on the hotkey game; it’s like crafting your secret sauce — try diving into text expanders for repetitive phrases — they can save you tons of time, too… Have you checked out @myTranscriptionPro? They have some neat tools that might fit your style.

You might want to check out the text expander feature in your software; it can streamline your workflow by auto-filling common phrases. I set mine up for client names and standard responses, and it’s made a big difference. Have you seen any improvements with your hotkeys yet?
