I'll be using a subcontractor and rather than picking up and delivering tapes, is there a way for me to transfer dictation from tapes to voice files that she can transcribe using express scribe?
Do they make such a machine?

Help! Need New Method to transfer voice files asap
Voice files are now transferred from clinic I work for via email (unencrypted) and are then sent back via Winzip and email.
We need new method to be compliant, as well as to eliminate "many missing" files it seems when sending through email. Clinic now uses Olympus equipment and does not want to use email any longer. Checked into secure FTP site and will not work well with the Olympus system they have. Any suggestions on what to do here????
Converting voice files to digital files
I have a Voice Solutions dictation system that will happily convert DS4000 voice files to digital when they are downloaded (wave files). However, it will not recognize any other files for conversion. I had a physician download .WAM files from his DS-30 and my dictation system would not convert it. Anyone have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate any input.
Thanks!!!
My digital voice player converts files to be --sm
able to be played. it sounds like your voice player does not. Maybe either you or she needs to save the file as a wav file first, prior to playing. either that, or try downloading the express scribe player, which is free, and try to play it with that. If that plays, then it is your voice player which is not compatible with the files she is sending you. good luck.
Looking for Software to Organize Digital Voice Files
Anyone know of good software that can take my digital voice files and organize them so I can keep track of which worker is working on which doctor, keep an eye on turnaround time, etc. -- instead of making endless folders on the computer myself. Voice files are separate from the typed reports, which are done in Word. Thank you.

I am looking for recommendations for a FTP site to retrieve digital voice files. sm
Can you tell me what site you use, how much it costs, etc.? Any info appreciated!
Filezilla is the software used to transfer files to an FTP server where the files "reside".
.
????????? You use it to transfer files from
the client's system to your computer. Not hard at all. They transfer in the form of WAV files and then you download them into your "player"-- I use Express Scribe and transcribe them. You open it up, download the files, and then close it again. You do not actually "work" in it, it just gets you the files.
You do have to transfer the files...
... there are some instructions here:

I highly recommend the Productivity Talk board (Google it) for answers to these kinds of questions. :)
If you have to save old files, transfer them to a CD or disk

software to transfer files quick
Is there any software out there that is cheap and transfers my files easy, as I am running out of space on my computer and would like to transfer them to a cd disc for each year. I already created the folders. Any help would be appreciated.
I use it to transfer files but I think it is based on Word sm
for typing so you shouldn't have a problem with macros and Expanders as long as they are in Word. As far as the footpedal, I am not sure as I have a USB adaptar from RadioShack converting it to USB instead of serial, but you can download the free trial of DocShuttle and see if it would work.
DIFFICULT? - transfer word reports into digital charts? (sm)
I have heard it is difficult to get our transcribed microsoft word reports into any type of EMR (electronic medical record) type of setup.
Is this true?
If we just change the program we type on before we send it to the office for the office to put into an electronic chart (which they say will be mandated by about 2010 or so) -- would that make it possible?
Many docs are not happy to have to do their own corrections etc.
Also a few years ago there was already a program where the docs signed off electronically for their reports. NOW IT'S LIKE SOME BIG HAIRY DEAL for them to do it.
Seems like we are going backwa5rds 
HELP.
would love to hear from anybody who has already met this problem and figured it out -- either send an email or ans here - would be so appreciated. Thanks.
Safe, easy way to transfer files over internet?
Hello
I need to safely transfer audio files over the internet. The physicians' office staff will be sending me the audio files, so this needs to be something fairly easy, so I can teach them, and it won't take too much of their time each week. Picking up tapes is beginning to get too time consuming and uses a lot of gas. Can anyone tell me the safest, easiest, and most cost effective way of doing this. I bought each of the physicians a digital hand-held record that converts the files into wav files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also posted this on technical board, but I am desperate, as we need to begin the change ASAP. Thank you! Lynn 
it's a heckofa lot easier to just transfer your acl and normal.dot files.

What digital voice recorder would you
nm
Digital Voice Recorder
www.transcriptiongear.com has a bunch of choices and they all come with the software to transfer the files. The software can also be configured to return the documents too.
DVI stands for Digital Voice something, I
can't remember. I use this system. My company provided my foot pedal/software. I think the company has to provide the software, as I've never seen a single user software available. Foot pedal will be $60-$80 depending on where you get it, may be able to find on e-bay cheaper.
Do a Google search for DVI compatible foot pedal. I don't recommend TVPS.com.
voice files
Yes, mine are emailed too. They are usually .dvf or .wav files.. Call GearPlayer from that website I posted and ask if this is compatible for you. If so then purchase it and call them back to be walked through downloading to your computer (I download to a folder named "Work to be Typed" by "Saving Target As." )
Voice Files
I tried that. They won't drag into the box.

That worked. Thanks so much!
Digital Voice voicewave player

Dictation Digital Voice question

question about .dss and digital voice editor 2
I have digital voice Editor 2 and I have no problems using wav files or mp3 files on it. But I do not know how to get .dss files to work on it. Does anyone else use digital voice editor 2 for freelance work and if so, how do you get .dss files to work?
Or maybe just a general question, what program can I get to be able to use .dss files.
Thanks in advance
Digital Voice Editor & Vista
Me again! This time I installed the disk (Sony DVE v.2.4.04) and got an error message on my new computer with Vista. I need this to hear the sound on voice files for a client I work for.... I feel like a Pioneer with Vista and transcription! Anyone else have this and found a solution?
Update: I went ahead and bought Office 2007 as I need Word to transcribe and also use Excel to keep track of lines and my college son needs Powerpoint! Thanks for the help! 
digital voice transcription info
I am looking for information on how to do something. I local doctor's office said that they use a handheld digital recorder and then the doctor downloads the file onto the computer and then emails it to the transcriptionist. HAs anybody done anything like this and what do I need to do this. What software, is there free software. Any information would be very helpful.
Thank you,
Lynn
I use DVI and I download digital files via FTP
and then transcribe using a foot pedal connected to my computer. There is also a transcribe station similar to a C-phone that can be used to access the system directly.
Ask the company what equipment you'll use and then if they don't answer your questions google DVI.
voice files query...
Good day everybody...I am on a rush and interested on buying a set of classified voice files, all body system for practice transcription but I can not find sites where to buy them. I will appreciate it a lot if somebody could give me at least an idea where to find the complete set of course on a cheaper price. Thanks very much.
Why would you e-mail voice files to yourself. You'd have to have them
on your computer to do that and if you have that why e-mail them. Unless you have encrpyted e-mail it would be a big no no as far as HIPAA.
PDA use for voice files over internet?
A chiropractor called me today to see if I could transcribe his reports using a PDA with voice files over the internet. I told him that I am sure I could accommodate him but that I was unfamiliar with that process and would have get back to him within the week, yet now I am at a loss at what to do. What program do I use? Can it work along with my microcassette transcriber/pedals, which I use for other chiropractors and PT’s. I
If anyone is familiar or can point me in the right direction, I would be forever grateful.
TIA~
I only accept digital files.
I don't have time to courier tapes. I use Express Scribe to play back files. Doc upload to a commercial, secure website. Completed documents are uploaded to the same website to be downloaded by the docs. (I pay $30/month for this.) No software/licenses for the docs to buy but they do provide their own digital recorders, which I have found to work best since they take better care of things they have to pay for.
There are several websites available that offer FTP stores space (some FTP knowledge is required by the office staff) as well as other sites that allow for "drop and drag" upload/downloads. Some bill a flat fee per month, some bill according to the bandwidth used.
Need help with static in voice files
Please help!!!
I am given .wav files, through a VPN connection, from a hospital that uses DVI/Fusion. I have an enormous amount of static on the files and it seems that no matter what I do, nothing helps. I have even been able to let the gal at the hospital listen over the phone to what I am dealing with and she says that her files sound nothing like what I am getting. I am assuming it has something to do with Fusion and I have called Dolbey numerous times to try to get them to help to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
FYI: I have tried playing the files through 4 different software programs and always get the same static.
Thanks much for trying!
Trying to load voice files, anyone?

converting voice files
Thanks for the input. I will definetely look that up on the net. I just hope it does the same thing for my voice files as it did for your MP3 files.
What is the best player for digital files?
I have used Express Scribe for years but ever since I restored my computer it will not play .dss files any more. I have downloaded every codec out there, etc. I have Gearplayer also but cannot stand it. What does everyone else use? Thanks
playing digital files
I use Start/Stop.
Voice files & access to VPN sm
I use a DVI system for the voice files and connect to a VPN to transcribe, and I am using just the mobile broadband connection. I applied to a couple of companies that said the connection would not be compatible, although I'm not sure why. My main issue is that I need to get a unidirectional antenna put up as my omnidirectional one tends to get fluctuating signals. As far as usage, I haven't really tracked work only or surfing only, but I would estimate no more than 1.5-2 GB of usage per month is strictly work-related. If anyone wants the name of the company I went through for my equipment, it is 3gstore.com. Excellent customer service, even if all you do is ask a question and not buy anything. They even answered some tech questions for me a couple of weeks ago, more than a year after I bought my stuff.
Best way to send voice files
I need to get some help. What is the best way to send voice files to other MTs, and then they send me their completed reports? I am relatively computer dumb and need some advice and help. What is the most secure, economical way? I notice that Express Scribe/Dictate has FTP...but actually all that stuff confuse me...
Can anyone explain it to me in really simple language? I know all the big medical terms but computer stuff just terrifies me but I have to get some help....
Overwhelmed NY MT
I have Start Stop digital voice player--sm
and Spyware Doctor, as well. I have never had any conflicts between the two, and I really do not see why one would interfere with the other. although, I do not leave Spyware Doctor on all the time. I leave it off while I am working, as it did tend to slow things down a bit, but I never had any problems with it. I do run a nightly scan with Spyware Doctor though. I would be careful of other Spyware programs. I have had others that claim to remove spyware from your computer but actually do absolutely nothing. I believe the one I am thinking of is Spyware Eliminator, but I am not sure right off the top of my head. Good luck.

digital phoneline with Lanier voice writer
I recently had my unlimited long distance suspended because of the time I was putting in on the lanier voice writer. I as going to switch to digital through the cable company with a data line added for access to dial tone. Does anyone have any suggestions good or bad on the digital phone line used with the LAnier voicewriter. Please let me know.
Thank, Lisa
Lanier station w/Comcast digital voice
Will this work? A couple of years ago I tried a Lanier with Vonage and it didn't. I don't want to go through the setup trouble only to be disappointed again. I really need more minutes than my 5000 per month with Qwest. Has the technology changed to make the Lanier compatible with internet phone service? Thanks if you can help me. 
for voice files on computer, try plugging
your headset directly into the computer where the speakers normally go and see if that helps. Also, you can get a volume amplifier for this. It sure helped me.
Question about digital sound files
Hi everyone,
I am totally new to medical transcription and have a question. In doing transcription digitally, what are the most common sound file formats? I am about to take a test (both written & verbal) for a company and they sent me my test files as .wav files. The files are hard to understand at best (the guy sounds like he's talking into a tin can ) and I am wondering why they didn't send them to me in a clearer form such as MP3. I am about to ask this same question to the person sending me the test but I thought I'd ask it here too. Is the .wav format the most common form of sound file for MT's? And if so, what's the best program to listen to these files in? I have Windows Media player, Real Player and WinAmp on my computer. Are there programs that MT's use to better hear these files? I hate to sound like a total dummy here but I'm new to this and when I went to school several years ago for MT, we only did tapes--not digital! If anyone can give me some info here, I'd really appreciate it!
Best,
RT
Have you considered editing voice rec files?
Fewer Keystrokes and easier on your hands. Might be a way to stay in the field.
Recommendatios for a TASP for digital files
I am thinking about getting my own clients and have only been able to Google 3 TASPs. DocShuttle, Medikin, and idigital. Are there others?
If you already have Bytescribe, he can email the voice files to you now.
Bytescribe plays dss files. very easy to do!. good luck.
The doctors email me the voice files
Do you know if gear player will work with dss voice files that are emailed to me? thanks
Will you be accessing the voice files via a Cphone, too?

how do the docs send the voice files to you
do they use a dropbox and then drag the files to it from a file on their pc or something like that. Our docs use Olympus recorders and now when they are done recording they just put their recorders in docking station and somehow the files are emailed directly to us, so am wondering how they would do it using this filesanywhere?? They do not like too many extra steps of course!
