hook up to my home PC with gotomypc.com I should be able to play files that are on my home PC?

Thanks.  I'm having a hard time figuring this out.

I have always received my dictation thru Wav files.  However I needed to download Express Scribe for one file and this became my default file.  How can i change it so when i get e-mails with my work it wil automatically go to Wav file format

thanks

as files that can be played -- just have to check the box.

Good luck! 

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! 

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.    

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!!!

I don't know if this is compatible with all pedals, but maybe it will help.

Off to the right there is a button for downloading the software.

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!     

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 -

Even closing Word doesn't make the files go away--I have to delete them manually.

As far as plug-ins, I have tried disabling them before but no luck. I can go months without a problem, plug-ins and all, and then, BAM, it starts happening all the time. I usually start holding my breath when I have a string of "crash-less" days (even more than I usually do to hold my gut in).

I'm beginning to think it's those automatic updates from Microsoft that are adding gremlins...can't say that I'm not beyond thinking that Mr. Gates would have his reasons for doing that, although I can't say for sure what they might be right now.

I'm open to any more ideas you might have.

click save and save it to your jump drive.  Once you've downloaded the file.  Open up your jump drive, double click on the download to install.  At the point in the installation where it asks you what folder to install ShortHand (it usually defaults to c:programs files or whatever.  You click browse to change to the destination to your jump drive (for example, mine is E: on my computer).  Then install like normal.  Now the program will be installed on your jump drive instead of your C drive.  Then when you want to run shorthand, you simply plug in your jump drive, open it up and click on the shorthand icon to start the program.

and then transcribe using a foot pedal connected to my computer.  There is also a transcribe station similar to a C-phone that can be used to access the system directly. 

Ask the company what equipment you'll use and then if they don't answer your questions google DVI. 

Is there a setting in Express Scribe where when you let up on the pedal it rewinds?  Is it in options somewhere?

TIA
