Start-Stop UNIVERSAL Transcription System Version 11

A hands-on transcription education

The Start-Stop UNIVERSAL Transcription System is a professional grade PC-based, foot-pedal controlled transcriber that has been making industry waves since its introduction over a decade ago. Control the speed and playback of virtually any digital recording or dictation—pause, play, step-back, and fast-forward without taking your hands from the keys or your attention away from your word processor. The Start-Stop UNIVERSAL continues to be unique with its lifetime free upgrades guarantee, a wide range of supported audio formats, and a focus on improved workflow and efficiency for medical transcriptionists, court reporters, confererence recording, legal transcription, educators, corporations, and government.

The Start-Stop UNIVERSAL is the transcriber of choice for thousands of professional transcriptionists in many fields including law, medicine, research, and business. We have created the Start-Stop UNIVERSAL Student Edition so you can get hands-on training with the software you will very likely be using after you graduate.

The pedal included with the student version is the same pedal that works with the professional version and is compatible with many other types of transcribers, as well. The student version does not have all of the professional features of the full version so once you graduate your program we offer a reduced cost upgrade to the full version.

The Start-Stop UNIVERSAL is compatible with Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.

Features

The Student Edition plays the following standard audio files without conversion:

.WAV, MP3, Truespeech™ .WAV, Olympus and Philips DSS and music audio CD .CDA formats.

Choose your own speed

Reduce playback rate by half or speed things up by 300%—the magic of digital.

Job Manager

Automatically sort dictation by author, job type, time, length, or priority. Queue multiple files or all files from a local folder.

Complete Control

Several pedal (and hand control) options, hotkeys, and mouse control allow you to use the Start-Stop UNIVERSAL in a way that is quick, efficient, and tailored to your needs. Define hotkeys and pedal controls quickly and easily.

Automatic Update Notification

Your Start-Stop Transcriber will always remain up to date and current with automatic upgrade notifications.

Ultra Play Technology

Sound files up to 20 hours long are loaded quickly, with minimal pause, so you lose less time operating your tools and more time doing the job.

Customizable Display

Start-Stop UNIVERSAL will run in the background or "always on top" in full, reduced, and thin operating modes, allowing you to customize UNIVERSAL to your own style.

Intuitive Graphic Interface

The graphic interface is easy to use and simple while containing all relevant controls, notifiers, and options. Start-Stop UNIVERSAL will work while running in the background and several display options allow you to simplify the interface, turn it 'always on top,' or reduce it down to a simple need-to-know taskbar.

Everything you need to get started: load files, adjust settings, and monitor pedal functionality in one place.

1. Playback Controls and Information: Use mouse controls to quickly scan through files while you monitor the remaining and played file duration.
2. Bookmarks: Set up to 16 bookmarks per file with hotkey control.
3. Play URL: Open and transcribe directly from internet hosted files.
4. Job Manager: Job manager allows you to queue files, view demographic information, set continuous play, and archives completed files.
5. Instant Sound Magnifier: Slows down quickly-spoken words and phrases automatically if selected.
6. Step options and Pedal Monitor: All pedal clicks are displayed on the interface for simple, accurate feedback. Set the step amount and auto-step amount to suit your particular style.
7. Variable Speed Control: Slow playback speed by half, or increase it by three times.
8. File Information: Quickly view file details: format, file size, and length.
