Digital Voice Editor or Express Scribe - question
Posted By: ah on 2007-11-07
In Reply to:
I have been using my Sony Digital Voice Editor for transcription, and it is over 2 years old and the foot pedal is just clunking out. It seems that I cannot just reorder a new foot pedal, but I have to buy the whole kit at $149.00.
So my question is this - what are the benefits of transcribing with Express Scribe, other than cost is probably just the foot pedal and free download? Am I able to divide up long files on Express Scribe and perhaps "share" them with other transcriptionists? What are the downs to having Express Scribe?

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!

Express Scribe and receiving the voice files...
I have been using Express Scribe to transcribe notes from voice files that are sent to my AOL mailbox. I was told that AOL mailboxes will only allow smaller sized voice files and that they will not accept larger files. Does anyone have information regarding this matter? Is there a better server I should change to so I can receive the larger voice files?
I was also wondering if I should instead use one of those MT platforms where the doc’s email to that specific platform and the MT picks them up there. For the life of me, I cannot recall the name of that site. If anyone knows of the site, can you please let me know.
All advice appreciated, thank you.
Digital dictation setup to use with express scribe (sm)
I can't find the post that tackled this subject a month ago. I'm looking to get one of my clients set up on digital dictation. I have on my end express scribe, the headphones and the foot pedal.
I'm either going to set up an upload function on my webspace or have the client email me the voice files.
Can someone recommend an inexpensive recorder that I can purchase for him (I can't afford the $200-$300 recorders) that can have the files uploaded to his PC so they can be sent to me and I can transcribe them on express scribe?
Thanks in advance!!
Advice regarding Express Scribe and FTP sites for voice files...
I have a new client that would like to use his PDA and send me the voice files through email. I am confused to what programs I need to acquire in order for this procedure to be HIPPA compliant and also to work smoothly. Will Express Scribe work for the voice files and transciption? I will also need an FTP site, correct? What reasonable and user friendly FTP sites do you recommend?
Thank you for any and all advice! 
Download Express Scribe (free player) and see if you can pull the voice file into it. nm

Download Express Scribe, it's free, when you download the voice files you will listen to....
them in Express Scribe and you can set your footpedal up. I forget where the downloaded files go, can't remember if you can put them where you want them but I would have to search for them to download to Express Scribe - maybe someone else can tell you how. It is much better than what you are doing.
Dictaphone Enterprise Express Editor
What digital voice recorder would you

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.
Digital Voice voicewave player
Is anyone familar with the digital voice voicewave player? Do you have any idea of the pricing for software and license? I got a quote and was blown away. Just wanted to check that it is correct.

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,

Express Scribe
I have been using it for almost 3 years. I have been very happy with it and not had any problems.
Express Scribe
On the voice files that you have in the program, just click on them and then there should be a button to click on that says Done. This should remove the files. Good luck!
Express scribe
Do you know if there is a hot key or Function key for building macros or speed type in Express scribe?
Express Scribe
Is there a setting in Express Scribe where when you let up on the pedal it rewinds? Is it in options somewhere?
TIA
express scribe
I use express scribe for transcription. I have been able to download files just fine with it for months, but now when I down load files it only gives me the option to save the file and does not load it into express scribe. These are the same type files that always worked before. Any ideas as to why or how to correct the problem? Thanks in advance!
express scribe
Try deleting the express scribe and reinstalling it.
Express Scribe
Mine did exactly the same thing ONLY in reverse. I had to manually move it into Express Scribe from the voice files; then all of a sudden it started to load into Express Scribe immediately. I talked to the gal I was working with and she said this had happened to her also. Can't figure it out but it works OK now.
Express Scribe
Open Express Scribe, one click on "settings", scroll down and click on "pedal and hot keys". Foot Pedal Control: Make sure "Use Foot Pedal Playback Control" is checked. Make sure your port is "VEC Pedals USB. Make sure the No. is "3-pedals". Then click on "Foot Pedal Control Setup Wizard" and follow instructions exactly. This is where I made my mistake. I didn't follow the wizard's exact instructions. Sounds complicated but absolutely is not. Once you do this you should be good to go.

I have used infinity just to test out express scribe itself after I loaded it. Does anyone actually use this program for their work? If so, where can I get some work in this program? Have it downloaded but have not used it yet. I believe it's supposed to be good for testing, etc. for different companies.
Try Express Scribe
software. You will likely also need the file VECUSB.exe in order for the software to recognize the pedal, but all of it is free, and it works with lots of different sound files.
Good luck!
Express Scribe
I find it works well with downloading directly from FTP. Have done it for about 2 years. Also MP count is really nice line counting software. It used to be free, but I think you have to pay to get it now. I still use the free version.
Express Scribe
It is almost the only program I ever use. I love it! It is very easy to use and it has never let me down. One of my part-time gigs requires me to use something else, otherwise it would be ES all the way! You will like it.
Express Scribe
I am starting a new job soon. We'll be using Express Scribe, just wanted some opinions on it. Like it, Love it, Hate it.....I wanna be prepared, so throw me some hoensty, THANKS
Express Scribe
The only time I had a problem with sound quality was when files were converted from C-phone to WAV. DSS and unconverted WAV files are clear/good as long as you have a good dictator. No player can make up for a poor quality doctor dictation.
You can do it with Express Scribe
It's a small pain, but you can use Express Scribe instead of the EditScript player and, therefore, use your USB foot pedal. It's possible that way. I did this for several months.
Express scribe
I am presently using Express Scribe for a company and just got another account that uses Express Scribe also. Am I able to go back and forth between accounts? Each has a separate spot when I am pulling the files off of.
I use Express Scribe-
It's free and have been using it for a little over a year with no problems.
Express Scribe here too!

Express Scribe
Anyone work with Express Scribe? The service I begin employment with on 09/01/07 uses this platform. They are telling me that I cannot see a line count on the work I do from Express Scribe. I do not like this, as I like to see where I am as far as my line counts go. Please let me know if this is true or not?
re: Express Scribe
I've used ES before and it doesn't count lines but Microsoft Office Word does. So typing in Word will allow you to do that.
Express Scribe
I am beginning employment with a service who utilizes Express Scribe as their platform. I hear you can use the function keys or a foot pedal to transcribe. Can anyone tell me which way is more efficient and user friendly? I have only used a foot pedal.
Express Scribe
Do you know if type expander, Shorthand, works with Express Scribe? What foot pedal works best with this program? Are many clients going with this program and if so where do you find them? TIA.
Does anyone use Express Scribe?
Okay, this is what I want to do. When I stop the dictation by lifting my foot off the play pedal, and then press it again, I want it to back up a few seconds so I can hear what I just typed. How do I do that?
Right now when I press play, it starts right where it stopped...my Start/Stop Transcription program backs it up...I am working off my laptop with Express Scribe and cannot find out how to do this.
Thank you for any help!
Something better than Express Scribe?
Just recently started an account using Express Scribe ... and while it is okay (and free!), I am wondering if there is a similar program that will show me the total number of minutes of the files I have loaded/remaining. It would almost be worth it to me to pay for this feature, if there's another program that has it?? Any recommendations or suggestions? TIA!
Express Scribe
I need some info on Express Scribe. I have everything set up, but when I push on the foot pedal to play and then let up it keeps playing. Any suggestions as to what the problem is?
re: express scribe help
Hi Diana,
I did the same thing but then I found that on the settings tab, I checked the box by "Use the OLD method of slowing down the sound file(SPS SPEED)and then my foot pedal worked again! I been there! Hope it works!

express scribe
I'm having a very strange problem with my express scribe program and i don't know what to do. Has anyone ever heard this: I will have my foot on the pedal, I'm happily transcribing away and sometimes when I take my foot off the pedal to catch up, then we I try to go again, I find it has gone back to the beginning of the transcription. The time is still set to where I was before, but what's coming out is the beginning of the file!! Please HELP!!!!!!!
yes, Express Scribe and others
I use Emdat with GearPlayer. You can have Emdat select a program off your computer to use for your pedal.
express scribe?
Can anyone tell me if they think express scribe is the best to use? I know it's free and all, but I've had a few problems lately...is there anything else out there that's "better" or worth buying?
express scribe
Would you recommend using something else? I'm willing to put money into it if it's worth it.
Express Scribe V4.15
Please can somebody send me a version of V4.15 as I upgraded to v4.16 and have also had problems downloading .dss files.
Express Scribe
When I try to transfer a sound file into Express Scribe and play it, the sound is not transferring. It's almost like the sound is wiped out on transfer, as the duration of file says 0 when it is in Express Scribe. I'm desperate - can anyone help?
Express Scribe 4.16...sm
I just read some things on the forum of NCH regarding this version. They are aware that there is a problem with the DSS files and are working on it, although there is no date set for the release of a new version correcting this. At least they're aware of it. 
Express Scribe
Same delima here, had initally downloaded a newer version and DSS files would not work. Got an 'older' version from a friend/MT and all works fine. There are seemingly 'bugs' in some of the newer versions and upgrades in this software. Just be patient, and try to make sure you download this one.........or one that is not a new version.
Express Scribe
I just went to Settings for Express Scribe, and then click on Files and then a window says "Use Express Scribe to open these files" and make sure there is a check mark beside dvf. Maybe this will help you? Good luck.
