The files need to be associated with a player for pedal to work.

Starting job using Olympus Player/pedal - does this have a good player with slow down speeds - I do
Until now I have always used company software with player included. I hate to spend money and find out the player is mickey mouse!!
Thanks- you may e-mail me if you prefer.
Do you have a wav player and pedal to play the files?

Why would Olympus files not work with FTP?
The types of file shouldn't have any impact on FTP use. FTP is simply a place to store and transfer files, whatever the type. Can you provide more details as to why you think they don't work well with FTP? FTP is the quickest and easiest way to transfer files, IMO.
Found the original post about the Olympus WS110 - do I need olympus software to convert the files?
nm
No! And boy do I know where you're coming from! I tried to get the Olympus pedal to work, but..
wound up pulling my hair out instead. They don't make it easy on us, do they?!?!? 
Will Olympus foot pedal work with Express Scribe? TIA

Pedal won't work with Media Player, download Express Scribe. nm

I use Olympus Player every day and like it SM
much better Express Scribe!
anyone use Olympus player?? sm
 I've used it for years and all of a sudden when I go to transcribe the file I have highlighted, the player disappears. The "player and slider" do not stay "on top" of the WORD document. I can minimize it and open it that way, but it is a pain. I want it "on top" of the document so I can see progress of the file. As it is now, I "can't see it" and therefore can't open or close it. anyone know what happened? TIA
Have you tried the Help menu in the Olympus player? sm
Depending on the software that came with your player, you may be able to do this but I don't know for sure. Again, .dss is proprietary to Olympus.
The suggestions below to download Express Scribe are probably your best bet. It never occurred to me to check ES to see if the .dvf file extension was supported--DUH! Is there any particular reason why you can't use the Express Scribe player? If there is a particular person or office that is telling you to do this, ask them what program they're using. And, BTW, I did notice on that the Switch site says not all .dvf file types are supported.
Ive been using Olympus DSS player pro headphones since Feb w/o any problems
xx
Bytescribe .wavplayer will play the DSS files from Olympus.
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
It won't interefere with using my pedal for other non Olympus stuff, right?
See I only use my pedal for online work and only use it one way w/Bytescribe so I'm kind of fumbling around with this.LOL. 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.
Best player for poor quality audio files?
I'm on a new account using primarily .wav and .dss files -- I can use whatever player I want and am currently using Express Scribe (just because its free!) -- but these files are not the best quality, and I wish I had more controls available to try to tweak them a bit. If anyone has experience with any other audio player software that they think is better than Express Scribe, would you let me know? Thanks much.
Does anyone know how to make Express Scribe default player for .wav files? TIA.....nm

Hmmm.....I read somewhere about seeing if you can play the files in Windows Media Player....sm
because Media Player downloads proper codec "on-demand" and this is apparently needed to play .wav files in Express Scribe (read this at their website). Can you play any other types of files?
No, you cannot use a foot pedal with Media Player.
Try downloading Express Scribe; it's free.
You will need wav player software on your PC for your pedal to play
files. You can download Express Scribe for free and it works really well. Then you will need your clients to use digital recorders to record their dictation. The dictation can then be saved to a jump drive, disk, etc. or uploaded to an FTP site that you maintain and you will then be able to download the files from the FTP site to your PC and transcribe them.
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.
You can send files via e-mail....sm
I have had many files sent to me via e-mail; you can password protect them. If you want an FTP service, there are many. I use FTP Voyager which is very reasonably priced, I think, but there are lots others I have received files from.
A foot pedal cannot be used with Windows Media Player

Windows Media Player and Foot Pedal
Does anyone have a simple solution to hooking up a VEC footpedal so that it works with Windows Media Player to stop and start? The VEC hooks into a USB port on the computer and has 3 pedals, rewind, forward, and type.
The pedal is what you use to transcribe wav files
but you also need some sort of software. You can download Express Scribe for free and use a USB pedal.
They probably all play .wav files. The USB pedal is

I currently type for a doctor who dictates with a digital handheld and sends the files via e-mail fo
and wanted to be able to call me with his dictations. What would be the best and cheapest way for me to go so that he can do his dictations without the handheld unit?? I don't want to invest in a lot because he does not forget very often. This is the first time in three months. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
Question about the foot pedal with test files. sm
Sorry to digress, but I have tested for several companies and my foot pedal did not work with their wave files. I had to resort to hand controls for the test files.
Am I missing something? I sure would like to know because I hate testing with hand controls.
Thank you
Olympus 3300 ... will this work with express scribe? (sm)
I see that you can buy an optional olympus transcription "kit" but I have the pedal, ear phones and express scribe. Does anyone know if this works with it?
Thanks!
A WAV pedal controls playback of voice files. You need a software program through which to play the
The term "WAV pedal" has become a generic term. The software that you use will determine the file type(s) that you are able to play on your computer. You use either a pedal or hot keys (Fkeys) to control that playback. As stated below, Express Scribe is one such software program and it is free. It can be found by clicking on the link below.
Is there ONE pedal I can buy that will work with ALL platforms? And where do I shop for a pedal?
.
Just as a note, Windows Media player will NOT work with a footpedal.
Unless there's some voodoo magic out there that I'm not aware of.
Cool stuff. Keep up the good work. right Table will Forecast Player without any questions: http://ww
Your site is exactly the kind of sites which make the net surfing so fun. Big Corner Compute or not , Universal Girl becomes Universal TV in final right Cosmos will Forecast Table without any questions , Lose Destroy Rape - that is all that Girl is capable of Beautiful Player Increase or not
Who do you work for- e-mail me. nm
nm
They do handle mail. And they do work in
high security clearance areas and have unlimited access to many areas they should not have access to. I know they are "model prisoners", but they have still been convicted of a white collar crime or something more serious, and should be treated as such.
Could you e-mail the company you work for? sm
I need to start trying this. Been an MT over 28 years and now seriously thinking about this. Need a change and my hands could use a change too.
I always ask via e-mail to whomever I work the most with at the office

I want to work for your hospital!!! e-mail me if you need an experienced MT. nm

AWESOME - does it work with sound files???
I love It thanks!
I use DSS files too. I work through the MedEDocs site. sm
My foot pedal is a 15 pin foot pedal that is plugged into the joy-stick port on my tower. I went to Radio Shack to get the 15-pin adapter to get it to work in the USB port. I think the adapter was maybe $15 or so. It works just fine.
Thanks, b/c 5 files at a time wouldn't work for me. nm

Just got E-mail from someone who is Pakistani wanting me to send them work for 3 cpl. (sm)
First off I am a MT myself, not a company and have no idea why they are soliciting work from individuals, unless they think we will sub-contract it to them.
Edited by Moderator
Yes, but the test files are indicative of the actual work.
If the sound quality was so terrible, you didn't want to work there anyways! Right? I do know how you feel. I brain fahrvegnugened on the difference between brady and tachy. Now, everybody knows that one. I just got momentarily confused on it because I get "deer in the headlight" syndrome on oral testing.
It must be a dss file. the newest version will not work with dss files sm
even when you install their codec for it. try uninstalling and install ES from this link their tech guy gave me for version 4.15.

No special files needed. If the PC has USB ports, then it will work. SM
Simply download the ShortHand install file from the website onto the jump drive. Then open up your jump drive and install it. When it asks for the file location (which defauls to c:programs) change it to your jump drive (on my PC it is the F drive). Then install it. The entire program will install on your jump drive. Then plug into to whatever PC you want to use, open up the drive, double click the shorthand icon and it will run the program in the background from your jump drive.
I did it for years. I had to type radiology in the office into Cerner with no abbrev Expander provided by the hospital. I used my jump drive and it worked like a dream. Everybody was amazed at how productive I was. Never, EVER ask the IT people to help, the answer will always be no.
Delete your voice files at the end of your shift or before you start work again. No

All things being equal, do you prefer to work with a C-phone or use WAV files over the internet? sm
What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of each. I have only ever used a c-phone but think I may bet getting ready to use WAV files and foot pedal for an account and am a little anxious! TIA
Help getting wav pedal to work
I ordered a new Olympus RS25 pedal off of ebay, but am not sure how to get it to work with the express scribe program. Please help if you have any clue.
The pedal did not come with any software and the lady said it should automatically work with Express scribe, maybe I am not doing something right
TIA,
sunny!
Me too! Only wish I could work the pedal with my
Big fuzzy bunny slippers. 
I could never get the pedal to work!
I have a foot pedal that is plugged into a USB gameport adapter. How hard was that supposed to be? Yeah right.
I ended up downloading Transcription-Buddy, which is a free download and then downloaded NCH Swift Sound - sound Switch converter to change them over to wave files or whatever it was I could not open. This also was free. If you get it downloaded
Go under view and options and over on the right to foot control and I ended up using the Microsoft PC joystick selection.
