Hello,
I have one little problem for my trial to get a job as a transcriber. I've got three days find a solution to this problem !
I have an audio file to transcribe. I am playing it in VLC and using LibreOffice for the transcription. Because speed is one of the goals in processing the document, I need to use hotkeys in VLC (pause/play, rewind, etc). I have activated the hotkeys I need in VLC, but they only work when the VLC window is focused on. What I need is to have these hotkeys usable while typing in LibreOffice.
I know there is Express Scribe for linux, I have it installed but it is very buggy (the audio controls just don't work properly). Also I don't fancy buying a pedal when I can use the num pad on my keyboard.
If anybody has a solution to my problem, I would be very grateful for helping me get the job.
