Shortcut Script
Github: https://github.com/sgriffin53/shortcut_suggestAn AutoHotKey script for using abbreviated shortcuts for full words as well as a Python script to help learn the abbreviations.
To use the AHK script, install AutoHotKey and run the AutoHotKey.ahk script. You will then be able to type shortcuts for full words, e.g. 'cs' will expand to 'because', 'pla' will expand to 'professional'. There are 2,320 shortcuts in the script.
To use the shortcut suggestion script, run main.py, and a console window should appear. Then, while you're typing, the suggestion script will show you the abbreviations for the top 10 words used, as well as showing abbreviations for the most recently used words at the bottom. Common words will be shown with "!!!" before them to show their importance.

Express Scribe Work Tracker Script
Github: https://github.com/sgriffin53/transcription_trackerA tracker for use with Express Scribe which tracks your stats while working audio transcription
Before working on a file, run reset.py and enter the duration in the format MM:SS (e.g. 45:20) and the file rate in pounds per audio minute (e.g. 0.50).
When you're about to start working on your file, run main.py. It will track stats such as time spent, audio done and remaining, estimated time remaining, WPM, amount earned, and hourly pay rate.
Press ctrl+c to exit when you're finished or want to take a break, and run main.py again when you resume working.
Once you're finished transcribing, you can save your stats by running save.py.
You can view your all-time stats by running stats.py, which will show your total hours spent, total hours transcribed, total amount made, as well as your average hourly pay rate.
