During Table Transcription, keyers can sometimes have difficulties finding cells that are pending transcription or finding transcribed cells that need to be reviewed. To save time when navigating to different cells, we recommend following the best practices listed below.

### Go to next cell

If a table contains many columns, and you zoom in on a document, you may have difficulties finding the next cell in the table during Table Transcription. We recommend pressing **Tab** to automatically go to the next cell.

### Go to next empty cell

If a table contains many cells and most of them have already been transcribed, you may have difficulties finding all cells that do not have a transcription. We recommend pressing **Control** + **E** to automatically go to the next empty cell.

### Reviewing blank table cells during Manual Transcription tasks

If the **Create Manual Transcription Task for Tables with Blank Cells** setting is enabled, the machine will always send blank cells in transcribed tables to be supervised manually, regardless of confidence.

If this setting is disabled and the machine has high confidence that a blank cell in a table should remain blank, it will not be flagged for a keyer to review during the Manual Transcription task for the table. This feature helps keyers focus on transcribing cells rather than reviewing cells that have no text, leading to faster task completion.

The **Create Manual Transcription Task for Tables with Blank Cells** setting is a General Transcription setting in the Document Processing Subflow. To learn more about editing this flow, see [Document Processing Flow in V42](/v43/docs/document-processing-flow-in-v41).
