Deleting Bytescribe wav files (just recycle bin?)
Posted By: The B-S tech could not answer this question for me on 2006-03-14
In Reply to:
Not much action on the Tech Board so I'm pasting my question here: Bytescribe people told me that once you delete the wav files (Options/Clear File History), it only deletes them from the player but not from your hard drive. I did a search for .wav files on my computer but none of those BS wav files come up, other than in the recycle bin. Is that the only place they would wind up after deleting them from the player then and am I done with them for good at the Recycle Bin? Thanks in advance for anyone who can help with this.  (I still cannot believe the tech did not know where the files wound up.)

Deleting files from FTP server
The company I work for uses an FTP server. I am supposed to delete the files I pull after I upload them so another MT wont do them. No matter what I try I cannot get the files to delete. When I right click on them, there is no option to delete in the drop-down. I have also tried highlighting the file(s) and pressing delete on my computer. Neither one of these works. These are the 2 ways my QA said to do it, but it just wont work. Any suggestions?
Thanks :)
I use Bytescribe for my PC Dart files - sm
When you go to open up the file in the "open" window at the bottom should be a "files of type" box, select "Playall files" and that should do the trick. I don't know if you have this option in ExpressScribe, but I know it is very similar to Bytescribe so give it a shot.
If you already have Bytescribe, he can email the voice files to you now.
Bytescribe plays dss files. very easy to do!. good luck.
Bytescribe wavplayer will play DSS files.
Bytescribe .wavplayer will play the DSS files from Olympus.
I am not sure but I think Bytescribe and Expresscribe are similar. I have Bytescribe with a 9-pin
serial port for my foot pedal. My foot pedal has worked fine with several different programs and proprietary software too, sometimes I have had to reselect/reset in in the proprietary programs, but it alwasy works fine. You can ask the Bytescribe people though, and tell them what kind of foot pedal you have and they will make sure you get the correct version so it will work. As for PlayAll it will not work if you have Bytescribe on your computer, at least this is what I have been told my 1 of my employers. I was given a copy of the PlayAll but I can't get it to work, it will open up and I just right down the info I need from it for my records and blank notes, just won't "play" supposedly because I have Bytescribe. I am not taking it off to see or not though. You need to find out what kind of wav files they are though because if the ExpressScribe will play them, then there is really no reason for you to buy Bytescribe too. --Good Luck. 
It would not be in the recycle bin either--sm
because she did not trash it. She brought up a new document over what she had already done, exited the document, and when asked to save changes, she said yes. That took everything she had already done and wiped it out. There is no trash recycling in this case. and yes, it did disappear into oblivion as soon as she hit that save changes button.
Check your recycle bin.
It sould still be in your recycle bin, just right click the file and choose restore.
did you check your recycle bin?
Did you look in your recycle bin to see if maybe you hit delete by accident...nm

If you deleted the actual dictionary, it should be in your recycle bin. Look for the *.spf file.
Otherwise, here is a website with a ton of info on ShortHand for you, including how to print your dictionaries.

Good Luck.
Exanders to the Recycle Bin Followup
Right. There is still straight typing out there.
The point is that once one agency says, "We have ASR and now we are paying our transcriptionists 5 cents/line" what do the other agencies do? Eventually they have to do the same thing and eventually we will all have VR or ASR and eventually all be paid 5 cents per line. That's the way it works. One company can drive the entire business down.
deleting
That's what I would do. At the point where the doctor said, "delete this," I'd type those words in and turn it in for line count, and then I'd start another report for the next one.
Not sure what you are looking for. Deleting cookies
should take about 30 seconds.
deleting bookmarks/favorites
Since I downloaded Windows SP3 I am unable to delete my bookmarks, just get a message that indicates bookmark error, failure to delete. Searched Google but no good help. Any ideas anyone?
Right, and the moderator apologized for deleting it, so neener.

deleting words from word dictionary

Microsoft Works - deleting template
Can anyone tell me how to delete a template in Microsoft Works. I have tried to drag it to the trash, I have looked in file after file and cannot seem to locate it within a file. Any help with this would be appreciated! I have a feeling that it is in a file within a file or something but just don't know where else to look for it.
Help w/ Edit Script & deleting MS Works
Sorry, I accidently posted this on the company board first. So please don't hate me.
I have done everything I can think of to get MS Works off my computer. It has been uninstalled, registries have been cleared and I ran a search to see if anything was left. Nothing left. But everytime I try to download EditScript it says it is still detecting it! Where could it be? Where is it finding it! I am so frustrated. If you have ANY idea of what to do please let me know!

deleting cookies-go to TOOLS, internet options
Once you get to internet options from TOOLS at the top of your browser, you have a radio button to delete cookies, one to delete history, one to delete online files and then offline files - that is how you delete the cookies AND the cache/memory/history.
Is that what you need to know? Hope that helped!!
I'd stay if they weren't deleting posts worse than the other ever did
I thought they deleted without cause before.. this is crazy.
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!!!
Did you save files in .rtf format? The files need to be
as a Word document or it won't count them. Could be the problem.
You may have gotten it back from the recycle bin, but system restore does not restore documents.

Most companies do no use their only files (HIPAA). They use files provided by other companies, serv
If you can get through the test files, then the sound quality on the actual company files is better. And, the dictation is never as bad as the test files, plus you have QA to help with hard blanks.
Bytescribe
There has been a B I G change in bytescribe. It seems to be all about money now, and no longer about good customer service/relationship. I bought a call in system 4-5 years ago. I no longer take the yearly service contract and had a question to ask. I did not want anyone to FIX it, just answer a couple of questions. I was told that to speak to a tech would be 75.00 (I guess an hour) and that they would call me back between 1 and 5 that day. Not like this at first.
They at one time, told me about the 3 limit install on the wav software, however as of yet I have not had to pay, as I have bought more than 10 of them.
No, it's right from Bytescribe (sm)
Go here
https://bytescribe.net/WebStore/shopping.htm
And from that page click on DocShuttle on the left. It will bring up different versions and you'll see there is DocShuttle Client for $99and DocShuttle Client with Dongle for $115. You have to buy it with the dongle right from the beginning. If you don't and just buy it without and run out of installs, they won't let you just buy the dongle. You have to buy the whole thing all over again. We all know that with computer failures and backup computers and new computers, etc., we definitely need more than 3 installs so I think for the small price difference it's worth it.
Yes I do. I have Bytescribe
and I have Expresscribe that I downloaded as well. So does it sound like it would work, him emailing me voice files and then I would just open them and play them (is that how it works?) TIA!
need to know about Bytescribe
Is it user friendly? Easy to install? Thanks.
bytescribe
I have been using it as a trans - there are three versions, owner, dictator and trans. It is pretty much like FTP, only work is automatically placed into a preset folder and you work out of that folder with your player - as for the documents - I use my own folders and attach the document, although you can use the program to devlop a document - one I return all the work I move the voice files into a different folder out of the way and then also move the douments that develop when attached into a done folder too - it sounds complicated, but it is not. The documents in the bytescribe folders are backup for me - they "pop up" when I attach my word document to the voice file and send. Again, it sounds a bit much, but really no more than many other avenues of returning work - and again you get a backup for those "what ifs".
Bytescribe
I believe has such a system with DocShuttle etc.. I worked for a small company that used this with docking stations for the MD office
Bytescribe
I used Bytescribe's equipment when first starting. It worked great. I would make sure that they offer the option that you and any MTs working for you do *not* have to buy their DocShuttle software to get the dictations off the server. They also offer a pay as you go dictation server, never tried it though. Good luck! Let us know what you try. (I also tried Express whatever and it cut off my dictators every single time and you are right, they never gave me any explanation and the tech support was ridiculous!)
RE: Bytescribe
There is compatible issue with Bytescribe and Windows Vista. I have Vista.
I like Bytescribe
Question re: bytescribe please! sm
I am a newbie who has been working about 8 months now. I have a standard wav player and Express Scribe and Play All Extra. I am looking for a change in employers since my current job has lost another account. I applied, tested and have been offered a job that requires a bytescribe wav player. Is this another program I have to purchase to make my regular foot pedal work with their program?Please forgive me if this has been addressed before. I have been up all night working and just cant seem to find what I am looking for. I am a little confused about all the different programs for the foot pedals. Since I have Express Scribe and Play All is that okay, or is this bytescribe thing a whole ball of wax? Thank you so much for any help!
Beware of Bytescribe
Just a head ups about Bytescribe. While the program itself is great, beware that it can only be reinstalled 3 times even on the same computer. So, if you are unlucky enough to have to replace or reformat your computer, your Bytescribe program will no longer be of any use to you after your third instillation. They will be happy to send you an unlimited license for an extra 109.00 after the fact! Isn't that nice of them? This information is not given to you until after you have made the purchase during the registration process. I am now stuck with a several hundred dollar program that is useless. I hope I can spare someone from wasting so much money. I wish I would have been warned about this beforehand.
Beware Bytescribe
From register@bytescribe.com
"Our registration process is necessary because we sell foot pedals separately and because we deal with International markets.
In the registration agreement it states that the software can be installed up to 3 times.
We would like to keep you as a satisfied customer but we do have guidelines set by our company."
Beware Bytescribe
Yes, I have been trying to resolve this issue with them since yesterday. They are not budging and I refuse to pay another 109.00. I'm not sure if they just started it. My software was purchased along with a pedal and headset about a year and a half ago. I actually have the disk here at home. In any case, I've filed a complaint about them to the BBB. I'm not telling anyone not to buy it, I just want everyone to be aware of what you are really getting. Had I known I could only install it 3 times (even on the same computer) I would not have bought it.
Bytescribe wavplayer
I have a Bytescribe wavplayer, but it doesn't fit into my speakers. Does anyone know what kind of speakers I need to get, or do I need to drag the foot pedal into the store with me to try it out?
Question about Bytescribe
I trained on Bytescribe Wavplayer several weeks ago, then wasn't going to be using it for awhile, so unplugged it, then had to plug it back for some reason, and since it was in my way and I still wasn't using it for my job, I unplugged it again. (It is still on my desktop though). Does that mean I will be going on my 3rd time when I plug it back in?? I'm confused. I haven't even used it yet! It was supplied by my company.
I use startstop over the bytescribe. don't know about the other one. nm
Bytescribe 3x install
We've been using Bytescribe for years and are happy with the product. We recently added a new customer, so I purchased a DocShuttle Dictator and also found out, upon receiving it, that there was a 3-times install license. I suppose they have been experiencing, or think they have experienced piracy.
What I did not read in this thread is that you can, for about 10 or 20 dollars more, purchase a version of all this software that has a dongle (thing you plug into the USB port) so that you can install it as many times as you want. The software checks for this device and does not run unless it is there.
I think that Bytescribe could have made this clear to their customers and on the web site. Even though I am technical, this passed me by about why there was a dongle and no-dongle version. It didn't clearly state what the dongle did and why one would purchase it...until I called and asked after my purchase.
I would also suggest to everyone that the 3x install may not be part of prior licenses of the software, so I would guess that a new policy by Bytescribe does not affect software that came out before this policy and licensing arrangement. I've never bothered to check it out.
Overall, I think that Bytescribe is a great company. It is likely a small company like many of ours and cannot handle large numbers of inquiries with many variations that exist all the time. They've been very friendly to us and very responsive on all support requests. The only thing I wish they would do is add more features for more complex business interactions with multiple customers and multiple contract transcribers. The transcription business is getting more complex, especially with HIPAA and large distributed medical offices.
Do you have Bytescribe WavPlayer?

Bytescribe Orator
Looking for feedback on setting up and using Bytescribe's Orator call-in system. Suggestions on other call-in systems also appreciated.
Might try DocShuttle by Bytescribe...
This software will do what you what. I use it and it sures makes life easier for me!! See link.
What do you mean 3 installs with Bytescribe?...sm...
I'm only talking about the Wavplayer, which was one install. Did you install the Wavplayer, DocShuttle, and something else maybe?
Thanks for the info on ExpressScribe. I might give them a try again. I'm thinking about training my DD and it would give her something to use, at least until we see if she sticks it out.
Don't know if Play-All or ByteScribe do this, but that's
