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?
Will the file play in Windows Media or QT? ..nm
nm
you need to change your properties of those file types to open with ES and not media player. sm
go to your folders by start, explore. find where you saved those files to. once you find a file, right click on it and click on properties. under the general tab, look down 3 lines to where it says open with and i bet it says media player. click change, find the express scribe program. make sure you check that box under there that says always use this program to open this type of file. then you can either right click again, click open with, select express scribe and it will automatically load in ES or you can hit the load button on ES, find where the file is saved, select and it loads it. if this doesn't work, email me.
Or send the file to your desktop and then import into your player from there. Easy

Windows Media Player
Does anyone know if it is possible to use a pedal with the Windows media player? I am doing some test reports and have been unable to use my pedal to start, stop, and rewind. Without the pedal, this will take forever!
Help with taking test with media player
Hi there....I have to take a test using Windows Media Player and I can't figure out how to type in Word and still be able to use the keyboard keys (no foot pedal yet). If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Media Player/DSS format questions
This subject brings me to the problem I am having right now. I have a WAV pedal program which my doctor and I just started using. Going fine. Then all of a sudden he changes his format and sent me a file with a WMA and it came up in the Media Player. Oh, I saved the attachment in MY WAV files, but also have an archive file set up also. It did not come up in MY WAV files, but thank goodness did automatically come up in the archive part in the Media Player, and I could not get it to work with my pedal either, so literally had to listen and stop, re-listen, and type, etc. It took me 3 1/2 hours to do a 20 minute job! I get so frustrated as I am not IS literate. Now he has told me that he will be sending everything in DSS format and that I should go to a particular website and download so that I can get into it. Well he did not give me a model number, so cannot seem to get a download without it. But this also makes me wonder where and how I should be setting up things to find the documents and where/how to save them. Any tips are appreciated. TIA
Try this plug-in for Windows Media Player. sm
It looks like the .dvf file is a Sony recorder file. You don't say why the file needs to be converted to .dss and I'm not even sure that you can because .dss is proprietary to Olympus. Maybe this plug-in will be of some help to you. Let us know.
I would reverse the media player back
and see if that corrects the problem. If so, you might either decide you don't need the upgrade or contact Windows about a fix...
Make sure your plug is all the way in - sometimes it looks like it is but isn't seated.
Just do a restore to the day before you did the upgrade - or if you are uncomfortable with this uninstall the software and test your headphones...
just a thought.
No, you cannot use a foot pedal with Media Player.
Try downloading Express Scribe; it's free.

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.
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.
Flashdrive question versus Windows Media Player
There are 32 files on this flashdrive. I use a Stop/Start pedal. In using my pedal, I have done all of the files but four. Four of the 32 files show a length of about one hour each, but you cannot hear anything. However, if you open this up in Windows Media Player, you can hear him talking. What do I need to do about this? I can't type using Windows Media without my pedal, and why do you think I can't hear just four of the 32 files with my Start Stop pedal? This is a new thing for me and please pardon my ignorance, but I could really use your advice as soon as possible. You can email me and thank you kindly. Lisa
Looking for good microcassette desktop player
I haven't purchased and/or looked for a transcription machine in quite a few years. I did a Goggle search but I prefer the expertise from those that have the real experience using one. :)
I had a high end Sony many years ago that broke down several times in the first couple years i used it so I am a bit sour on those. I realize though by now they could be made totally different. I really didn't care for their foot pedal at that time either (way too much flexing of my ankle for my comfort).
I have had 2 Olympus Pearlcorders that I have used for at least 6 years, probably longer. I haven't seemed to be able to find just a transcription machine now (without record feature). I feel if I get 3 years out of a lower priced one like these I certainly did get my money's worth. :) However, due to aging and loosing some hearing (that can come naturally with aging), I think I may need a better quality machine.
I do want one that is a microcassette player, has an adjustable backspace on the machine, backspace and forward on the pedal & erases tapes. I would like to find one with excellent sound quality as well. I am willing to pay up to $500 for one that is highly recommended by you pros.
Thanks so much.
Sandi
(If I am talking in circles and/or am incoherent, I apologize as I just came home from having surgery today on my foot - and my latest transcription machine died this morning so I need to order one on line fast).

Reinstalled WAV Player, Now Won't Play DSS
Hi,
I have always been able to play DSS files using my WAV Pedal (WAVPedal 5). I just wiped my computer clean and renistalled all of my programs, including the WAV Pedal 5. Now it will not open and play DSS files. Any help? Thanks,
Dave
If it is a windows media audio file just .....sm
drag it into your open gear player box. You should be able to play the windows media file there, and use your foot pedal.
Do you have a wav player and pedal to play the files?
x
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.
..in an easy to find location like your Desktop or a certain file. nm

can't play voice file
I was sent a voice file to transcribe (test) and I can play it but not at the same time that I am in MS Word. What am I doing wrong?  TIA
What type of file does your software play?
Maybe you can try a CD (mp3) format or rip a CD into a format that your software does play.
Try this link for a sample voice file or Google the phrase sample voice file

Start Stop voice file player and conflicts with Spyware Doctor
I was having problems with StartStop and talked to one of their techs this morning. One of the bugs it was having was fixed when I turned off Spyware Doctor so I need a new anti-spyware program.
I’m thinking of trying Spyware Blaster. I called to see if there were any conflicts with that one but had to leave a message. In the meantime, does anyone use StartStop voice file player and also use Spyware Doctor without any buggy conflict problems between the two softwares?

Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.

Depends on the file format of the Short Cuts file.
ShortHand comes with a utility file that can import various formats. You can get that file with the trial download of SH.

You can save the SH file in a text file and import to IT that way. sm
You may have to do some cleanup in the SH text file, but it sure would be faster than re-entering them all manually.
File taxes under the name on file w Social Security....
Name on W2 doesn't have to match, but your tax return has to match SS records. They don't want your marriage license or anything else. Did that for 13 years as instructed by IRS. Didn't have to change it with SS until state changed rules requiring drivers license to match SS records. Still use my maiden name in some limited circumstances.
XP Media
Might be the fact too that you are using XP Media and not XP Home or XP Pro
Don't believe the news media (sm)
You are so right. Everything is going up but our wages and it's happening all over. It is time for everyone to get their finances in order. We are all going to have to tighten our belts and get our finances in order and get rid of credit cards!

Alert The Media
Do you think you could draw the attention of the media for this cause? Maybe there's a spunky investigative report who would want to get the story out.
Typical media; what do they know.
nm
it is a form of media ...
for healthcare professionals. It has a circulation. It is readily available in schools. All media matters because what is in the media influences the way people think. I think it gives a negative view of us to those who call the shots over us who read it. That's why I think it matters.
This is HEARSAY from media and/or Mrs. Twitty.
You all quote media as if it should be written in stone. Obviously not enough credibility to hold this guy in jail for suspicion.
The media will contact the AAMT
The AAMT will say the same old line about there not being enough US MTs. We need a good response for their lie.
It plays in Windows Media but..
I first get a message that it is not a recognized extension.
I'm not surprised that the media is trying to "spin" him into a hero
but he's unqualified and unethical. The tourists that were there were able to pay him to let them out of there first, plain and simple. Once again, consider the source.
Hero my foot.
