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.

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

Right click the voice file and save it to your computer.

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.
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.
If you got the file there, then you should be able to download ExpressScribe and load it into

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.
You can also tell from the name on the voice file. sm
The files are named sequentially, lowest to highest. That should also help you to detemine which ones are the "oldest".
D/l them onto zip file and take with you. Voice

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!
an .exe file is not a voice file
I'm no techie, but it sounds like they might've sent the wrong file by mistake. Or could it be a program you need for testing/working for them that they sent? What is the name of the file (if it is something you can say here)?
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
upload voice file
A good way to upload a voice file is to send it by FTP to an in-house computer. This keeps it off email and the web.

You can download to computer. Yes,
if you have a license, you can put it on all your machines. Then you just copy the dictionary file onto a floppy and carry it with you and load into the machine you are using.
Download them wherever you want onto your computer - sm
presumably into a file on your C drive. I download from Metroscript into a folder I have called MS voice files. Then I just open my Bytescribe, and then open up the file I want to "open" and play. I am sure you can do it the same way with ExpressScribe. My folder is not in the Bytescribe folder, it can be anywhere on your computer. It is not hard to do. You can set MS up to download to the same file every time though so that makes it a lot easier too.
try express scribe you can download for free. what type file is it?nm

It wasn't on a voice file. It was on an old Lanier, but (sm)

my friend transferred it to a tape (she had the dictation) and I listened to it.  Gross.


free voice file software

I am in need of a software that plays .dvf files.  I currently use Gear Player, and although it plays a multitude of different files, I can't get it to play .dvf.  Does anyone know of a free one online I can try?  Thanks!!

I highly doubt that an itune voice file --sm
would be compatible with your software footpedal. my footpedal software recognizes certain types of voice fils like WAV or DSS, etc. but I seriously doubt if itunes uses those types of files. you can try though, but don't count on it. Save the file to a location where your digital voice player will locate it and try to open it. if your digital voice player will open it, your footpedal should work. but again, don't count on it.
Got new computer and can finally download music! sm
Any suggestions on best site to download from?  The last experience I had was with Napster and loved it but don't know if it even exists any more.  I am open to any and all suggestions.  I realize I will now have to pay now for each song I download but am excited nonetheless!  Thanks!!
You're trying to download XP onto a computer that already has Vista?

The only way I know of that you can do that is to reformat your hard drive, then install XP Pro. You have to have the full version of XP Pro to do that, not the upgrade.


Windows generally doesn't let you go "backwards" with an OS that is already installed without reformatting. And if it's an OEM system (if you bought it with Vista already installed), I would advise taking it to a computer shop and having them do it. You will save yourself a LOT of frustration.


Just My Humble - but Informed - Opinion.


I'm not wasting 45 minutes of my time for a 2 minute voice file.
I'm not wasting my time on a physician who can't or won't speak half way decently, English born or not. I don't have to work for crappy doctors. I found ones who are willing to make an effort if they can't speak English, they try and spell things as do my English docs. I've been an MT for a VERY long time. I'm an excellent MT and have nothing to prove to you. Have a wonderful holiday season filled with KINDNESS. Try being a little less judgmental. Sounds like you ride atop a very high horse.
Works great for me. Fave voice file player is an

Need help again - how do you download your autocorrect entries into a computer with only word and sm

Do most companies that offer this way of typing usually download their part onto your computer? sm
Or am I thinking of something totally different.  The past few companies I have worked for have downloaded their programs onto my computer.  I receive the files and send them via internet through their computer.  Is this the same thing?  Sorry, I know how to transcribe but am computer illiterate (?sp).....thanks...
for voice files on computer, try plugging
your headset directly into the computer where the speakers normally go and see if that helps. Also, you can get a volume amplifier for this. It sure helped me.
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? 


Go to your shorthand file on your computer sm
All dictionaries end in .spf. Find the dictionary you are looking for, and there you go. Either right-click to copy and paste it into your email or do it from the attach file option in your email.
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.
I have access from home via moden to their computer file.
I have a dial up number to access the office computer file for the op notes I send over the modem. They print them at the office and take if from there. I have Dictaphone and they dictate reports via any phone into my two lines at home. The office had a computer tech set it up on my computer, to work with theirs. It is a nice arrangement. They can fix it so you can't access any other files at the office.
don't send them thru ES -- find the actual file thru Windows Explorer on your computer. nm

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

Help..I lost my word file. How can I retreive a file that has been changed? sm

I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank.  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.

Question about transfering computer into to another computer.. sm

I have a dumb question - Just bought a new computer and someone told me to get a flash drive to transfer all my info.  But I'm assuming that ExText that I work off of and Escription will have to be downloaded again by the tech people onto my new computer.  I can tranfer these can I?


Thanks


How does one find out the computer specs on my computer?

I should know this, but I just don't remember how to do this.  I am hoping I have enough RAM, or whatever, to load work platform on my own computer and begin working on it, rather than paying *rent* on the company-furnished computer.  Thanks so much.


A computer is a computer, whether it be laptop or desktop.
I have both and use both and I bought both of mine...most companies do not provide computers...
