Can't try this just yet. Am so "new", I am only due to begin actual transcription tomorrow 5/10 or 5/11. I was just trying to get a leg up and familiarize myself with the equipment. I have printed your directions and will give them a try ASAP. Will get back with you on the results. In the meantime, thanks so much for your help!

I think the OP is now on a digital system, in which case:

Increase/Decrease Speed:

1. With your foot on the play portion of the foot pedal, press the digit [3] key to increase the speed of playback; the [2] key to decrease the speed.

2. Speed will return to normal when the current report is completed.
