I prefer using my player, so I convert them to .wav. You can download a free trial fom http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html I think to purchase is around $12.

Try Switch. I can convert sound files. I love it. It has

Better yet, convert the file to .wav
I believe you can right click on the .dss file and convert it to .wav and then it will probably play fine in ES. However, you cannot convert the file back to .dss, so you might not want to delete it until you are absolutely sure you are through with it.
Let me know if this works... I don't have any .dss files to try it on right now.
not the NCH program to convert
I meant to convert from inside the Olympus Transcription Module. You can right click on the file and click 'convert to .wav' for individual files, or for every file all the time, under Tools_- Options_- Download, my version (probably an old one, 2.5.0) has an option to convert to .wav as the file is downloaded. Again, let me know if this works (of if you even try it; you may find something easier).
Sometimes it helps to convert the sound file - sm
I notice that when I play straight DSS files my Bytescribe will not restart at the beginning after I reach the end, but rewind 2 seconds or so and keep replaying the end; but if I convert them to .wav files (which I do by "opening" them with another .wav player called "PowerPlayer"--downloaded the free trial and just use it for this) then I do not have this problem, it will just restart at the beginning after I reach the end. So that may be affecting it, or a setting is off, or there is corruption of the file or player maybe. Lots of possibilities.
You CAN use IT with that program OR you can maybe convert your IT glossaries sm
into an autocorrect format and load that into your Exttext autocorrect.
I use both AC and IT simultaneous and that works much better than just EXTtext.
Unfortunately, you can't import your ESP file to EXText. It won't convert. I've tried and
I would just turn off ESP as suggested below and use your Shorthand. I didn't do that because the hospital I work for provided my equipment and were told in no uncertain terms we could not load any software on our PCs without it being approved by the IT department and since EXText comes with its own abbreviation expander, there was not reason to approve mine. I had to input each and every Expander from scratch! It sucked, but in the long run it was a good thing. My ShortHand file was geared more towards radiology because that's basically all I did on my last job. So a lot of it would not have been helpful for the medical records stuff I'm doing now.
Like you care why I don't use my Shorthand still! Sorry to go on and on. I get so bored by myself here at home, I can't help myself from virtually gabbing every chance I get. 
Where does one purchase a KVM switch and is that what it's actually called?
b
Thank you! She can't download the file to sm
use the player from there, right? She needs the actual disk in order for this to work correctly? Sorry for all the questions. I'm just not familiar w/it and didn't find an actual download for the ability to play the files.
Trying to download a wave file
I am having trouble downloading a PC-Dart dictation into express scribe... any suggestions?
Need help with FTP. Trying to download file from FTP site -sm
and not having much luck. If I right click on the file name and try to save to a folder it tells me I can't do that. If I just double click on the file name it downloads the file but to Windows Media and then from there I can't get the file to a folder and into Express Scribe. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not a computer whiz and I am so frustrated. Thanks.
See, see what I mean? Me too! Amazing! Funny how we switch to this new program
and do the SAME reports and yet make substantially less money.
Let's all MQ employees just quit already and see what they do. Do you really want to know how much MQ is making now on this "new" platform? They are paying us way less, no more phone bills for them, etc. Amazing.
Anyone hiring not on DQS??
Do google search for Switch Sound File Converter...
and follow instructions - VERY easy!
If you got the file there, then you should be able to download ExpressScribe and load it into
s
Download the file from FTP to your hard drive.
Then hit Load button, find where you saved the file on your hard drive and Load. Now, you're in business.
Download the voice file to your computer.
Then open ES and load it in. If it's not a supported file format, you can get a program like Switch to convert it to a supported format.
You do not download the program onto the
floppy to transport, just your active working file which is called a dictionary file (SPF I think.) You download the program onto your computers and then just transport the dictionary file between them.
You can increase the amount a floppy can hold by creating a directory (or directories) on the floppy and then copying the files into the directory. If you do not do this, the computer has to put all the extra data required for a directory file onto each file you load to the floppy.
So, on your a: drive, you create a file called SH. Then copy the dictionary into that file. You can copy multiple dictionaries onto that file if you want.
There is a free download line counter called Abacus and I have used
that program to count my lines, which works real well. I just always used a program to do it. It's pretty user friendly and you can try it for free and see if you like it.
I tried to download it. It says do not file these copies for some reason. I'm going tomorrow to S
pick up the ONE stinkin' form I need from the federal building. Beats buying 50 at Office Depot!
You can also download (free) a product called Cool Timer from CNet.
You can set it to act like a stopwatch or to countdown time. I use it all the time and it has helped me immensely. I just have it open all the time on my toolbar. http://www.download.com/Cool-Timer/3000-2350_4-10062255.html

RE: Anyone know of a good site to download a program for doing a budget?? nm

Download Express Scribe (free player) and see if you can pull the voice file into it. nm

I use a program called TraxTime....
I believe there is a free download online. This has been extremely valuable for me in keeping QA time.
Many states have the same program, called
Angel Food Ministries.
I use a program called The Abacus.

I gave up on all that and now use a program called
XX
There is a free program called Belarc you
can download. It will tell you processor speed, RAM, hard drive, sound card - every little thing about your computer. I used it with Win98 and WinXP. Google Belarc for website.
Can use a free program called Audacity.
I have only heard about this and have not found the need to do it myself yet, but heard it works great.
Here is a website someone passed to me:
http://www.andybrain.com/archive/convert-cassette-to-cd-digital.htm
If you Google "tapes to digital," there are a lot of sites that give directions.
Good luck.
Might be another program or file conflicing
I would contact your tech or if you can afford it, Hiwired.com American techs but $90 per session.
Can't you just reinstall the Spellex? If the program .exe file is on your computer you should be
able to reinstall, unless upgrading totally re-formatted your hard drive, which I presume is the case here (this is where backing up things comes in handy). Maybe you can contact your school and ask for a new copy? As for cheap and good, I doubt the two go hand in hand. I use Stedman's Spellchecker and love it. Maybe you can look on ebay and get a copy that way for not too much $. Good luck.
The program is being determined by the file extension you're receiving. sm
If you're receiving a voice file that's opening automatically in MediaPlayer (which is what I think you're trying to say), then you will need to change the program that is automatically associated with that file type so that it will open the program you want to use.
The easiest way to do this is to open Explorer, locate the voice file, right mouse click on it and choose Properties. On the General tab in the first "block" where is says Opens With, click the Change button and then choose the program you want to use from the list that appears. This will change the program that opens ALL files with that extension.

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.

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

I think it is the same type of file, so rename it and replace your autocorrect file with your DQS us

When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you
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.
