Express Scribe and receiving the voice files...
Posted By: Need help... on 2007-04-30
In Reply to:
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.

Need Help receiving encrypted files through Express Scribe!
Is there anyone out there who could tell me how I could listen to encrypted files in my Express Scribe which I receive through email??? I am able to receive and listen to them just fine when not encrypted, but cannot figure out how to set ES up to use a password. When I click on the voice file in my inbox, it now takes me to ES, but displays an ERROR box stating - unable to open DSS file, this means the file might not be a true DSS file or the file is corrupt.
Yesterday, I posted this on the wrong board, but did receive some response anyway and thanks! Still now working though. Someone told me that I needed to get the User Id # from the clinic's software program they are using. The person I subcontract for thought that the User Id from her Olympus DSS software would work, but I am not so sure since the files originally come from the clinic.
I would rather not have to purchase the Olympus program if not necessary. I would think there would be some way to receive these encrypted files with their password. I have also tried to leave the User ID area blank or enter 0, but this does not work either. Keep getting the ERROR message as above.
The files are coming from a dss program called Olympus if that matters. Any insight would be greaaaatly appreciated!!!
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, 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.

dss files and Express Scribe
I am starting a new job on Tuesday using ES and dss files, this doesn't sound too encouraging to me. This is my first job with online companies, 13 years as MT but still using micros, although that is changing too.
Express Scribe plays .dss files for me. (nm)

Express Scribe should pay wma files (see insider)
Do you have the latest version of Express Scribe (4.08)? The "Windows Media" mentioned below is what WMA files are.
"Windows version supports wav, ... compressed wav (including PCM, uLaw, ALaw, ADPCM, CELP, SBC, Windows Media, ... and more."
If for some reason you can't get it to work, they have an audio converter that has a free trial here:

I use Express Scribe and .dvf files are listed sm
as files that can be played -- just have to check the box.
Good luck! 
Anyone have any Express Scribe practice files? (sm)
My employer is switching from using a call-in system, for which I use my Dictaphone, to using digital files and Express Scribe. I would like to practice using the Express Scribe software and my new pedal and such, but I can't seem to find any practice files. (I figured that with some of the crazy stuff I see on Ebay, I could find about anything online, but I've been unlucky so far searching for practice Express Scribe files!)
Does anyone know where I could find some Express Scribe compatible wav files? I admit to not knowing much about how this works... I'm pretty much a Dictaphone girl. That's why I'd like to do some practice. The files wouldn't have to be medical, of course... just anything where someone is talking and I could type along and use my pedal and just get the hang of opening the files and such.
Any help would be met with much adulation and beaucoup gratitude!
Delete the files in express scribe, not the CD.
Open express scribe and click on the file that you want to play or click on the file that you want to delete.
Transferring Express Scribe files
I would like to work from my laptop sometimes, but I am not sure how to transfer the audio files I downloaded from WinSCP already from my PC to the laptop. All I need to do is transfer the audio files. I know how to transfer files that are finished in Word back to my PC. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
How do I set Express Scribe as my default for wav files??

Digital Voice Editor or Express Scribe - question
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?
Yes, it should. As I recall, Express Scribe plays .dss files..sm
and that's what Olympus files usually are, but you can double check because some Olympus players also use .WMA files, I believe. Express Scribe plays nearly any file, but it should list on download website what all it will play.
Does anyone know how to make Express Scribe default player for .wav files? TIA.....nm

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

Express Scribe is very easy. Files download, you will see them, click on one and it starts when you
press your pedal. That simple.
Express Scribe is GREAT for downloading sound files for testing for different companies!
Express Scribe Transcription Playback Software
This software works as a transcriber that downloads into your computer and allows you to receive files and use your footpedal. I have used it a lot when applying for jobs and testing, especially because I can then use my footpedal and not my keyboard to advance the sound files. This is a free download too, so use it if you have to. I highly recommend it.....
This is the link for the site to download it for free -

You need something to play the files like free download of Express Scribe. Need to play with your

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!!!
voice files
Yes, mine are emailed too. They are usually .dvf or .wav files.. Call GearPlayer from that website I posted and ask if this is compatible for you. If so then purchase it and call them back to be walked through downloading to your computer (I download to a folder named "Work to be Typed" by "Saving Target As." )
Voice Files
I tried that. They won't drag into the box.
Voice Files
That worked. Thanks so much!
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.

express scribe sm
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!
