I use ONLY the Auto Transcribe Folder Agent (ATFA in DMPE4.3) to transcribe recorded audio files.  I have noticed that often the first few words of the transcript (output in notepad) tend to get missed out altogether or get messed up.  The quality of the rest of the transcript is excellent.  This happens even with a new profile.  I suspect (though I could be wrong) that the ATFA takes a few seconds to fully load one of the many profiles that I have created (based on different medical vocabularies) before it begins the transcription process.  Each user profile has a different input and output folder.

Is there a way I can delay (programmatically - by a few seconds) the start of the transcription process by the ATFA to give the user profile a chance to load fully?  The ATFA runs unattended and the audio input is taken from my dropbox folder.

Can a delay be added in the soptions.ini file or any other file?
