Flashdrive question versus Windows Media Player
Posted By: Lisa on 2008-12-09
In Reply to:
There are 32 files on this flashdrive. I use a Stop/Start pedal. In using my pedal, I have done all of the files but four. Four of the 32 files show a length of about one hour each, but you cannot hear anything. However, if you open this up in Windows Media Player, you can hear him talking. What do I need to do about this? I can't type using Windows Media without my pedal, and why do you think I can't hear just four of the 32 files with my Start Stop pedal? This is a new thing for me and please pardon my ignorance, but I could really use your advice as soon as possible. You can email me and thank you kindly. Lisa

Windows Media Player
Does anyone know if it is possible to use a pedal with the Windows media player? I am doing some test reports and have been unable to use my pedal to start, stop, and rewind. Without the pedal, this will take forever!
Try this plug-in for Windows Media Player. sm
It looks like the .dvf file is a Sony recorder file. You don't say why the file needs to be converted to .dss and I'm not even sure that you can because .dss is proprietary to Olympus. Maybe this plug-in will be of some help to you. Let us know.

Windows Media Player and Foot Pedal
Does anyone have a simple solution to hooking up a VEC footpedal so that it works with Windows Media Player to stop and start? The VEC hooks into a USB port on the computer and has 3 pedals, rewind, forward, and type.
Just as a note, Windows Media player will NOT work with a footpedal.
Unless there's some voodoo magic out there that I'm not aware of.
Hmmm.....I read somewhere about seeing if you can play the files in Windows Media Player....sm
because Media Player downloads proper codec "on-demand" and this is apparently needed to play .wav files in Express Scribe (read this at their website). Can you play any other types of files?
Does anyone know how to adjust the speed of a Windows Media Player for testing purposes? nm Thanks

It plays in Windows Media but..
I first get a message that it is not a recognized extension.
Help with taking test with media player
Hi there....I have to take a test using Windows Media Player and I can't figure out how to type in Word and still be able to use the keyboard keys (no foot pedal yet). If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Media Player/DSS format questions
This subject brings me to the problem I am having right now. I have a WAV pedal program which my doctor and I just started using. Going fine. Then all of a sudden he changes his format and sent me a file with a WMA and it came up in the Media Player. Oh, I saved the attachment in MY WAV files, but also have an archive file set up also. It did not come up in MY WAV files, but thank goodness did automatically come up in the archive part in the Media Player, and I could not get it to work with my pedal either, so literally had to listen and stop, re-listen, and type, etc. It took me 3 1/2 hours to do a 20 minute job! I get so frustrated as I am not IS literate. Now he has told me that he will be sending everything in DSS format and that I should go to a particular website and download so that I can get into it. Well he did not give me a model number, so cannot seem to get a download without it. But this also makes me wonder where and how I should be setting up things to find the documents and where/how to save them. Any tips are appreciated. TIA
I would reverse the media player back
and see if that corrects the problem. If so, you might either decide you don't need the upgrade or contact Windows about a fix...
Make sure your plug is all the way in - sometimes it looks like it is but isn't seated.
Just do a restore to the day before you did the upgrade - or if you are uncomfortable with this uninstall the software and test your headphones...
just a thought.
No, you cannot use a foot pedal with Media Player.
Try downloading Express Scribe; it's free.
If it is a windows media audio file just .....sm
drag it into your open gear player box. You should be able to play the windows media file there, and use your foot pedal.
Will the file play in Windows Media or QT? ..nm

Can you get the file to your desktop to see if Media Player will play it, just so you know

Pedal won't work with Media Player, download Express Scribe. nm

you need to change your properties of those file types to open with ES and not media player. sm
go to your folders by start, explore. find where you saved those files to. once you find a file, right click on it and click on properties. under the general tab, look down 3 lines to where it says open with and i bet it says media player. click change, find the express scribe program. make sure you check that box under there that says always use this program to open this type of file. then you can either right click again, click open with, select express scribe and it will automatically load in ES or you can hit the load button on ES, find where the file is saved, select and it loads it. if this doesn't work, email me.
You cannot adjust the speed in Win Media Player. Download Express Scribe free NM

Bytescribe versus Start/Stop - which wav player is better? SM
I'm trying to decide which audio player software and pedal to purchase. I'm also looking at GearPlayer. I want something user friendly, universal to audio file types, and compatible with whatever service I end up with should I need to have my own software and equipment.
Thanks guys and gals!
Do you have a flashdrive???
Recently, my company set up administrative logons and employee logons. Now, we can't do squat. I back my glossaries up religiously and needed to back them up. I took my flash drive, disabled the automatic install/load, and put it in my work computer. That way, it wouldn't try to install and get cut off because I'm not the administrator. Then, I located my IT folder, right clicked and sent to my flash drive. If you just need your glossary, just do that glossary the same way. I then put my flash drive in my computer and transferred the IT folder to C:.
You might be getting stuck on the .exe. Even Google won't allow .exe to be e-mailed. Try zipping it all up and e-mailing it if you must use e-mail.
flashdrive
She emails the reports, so she doesn't save them to the drive.
I'm getting another flashdrive and guessing who is on it
Okay, last Thanksgiving weekend, my new doctor gave me a flashdrive and I did all the patients, and then she told me nine of them had been done, how did I want to handle that? You all were very kind in giving advice. This was after a girl walked away and left them not knowing up or down on who is done and who is not.
Today, she called me and asked me questions about dates and patients. She said she is busy and doesn't really have time to see what is actually on the flashdrives. We're meeting in the morning and she is going to give me another one (or two or three). Should I volunteer to listen and make a patient list, or should I tell her I will type all the patients and expect to be paid for them. I don't want to spend my time listening and not getting paid, honestly. But then I want to try and hold onto this job, having just got laid off from an office with more than one physician (thanks to Cbay). You guys are experts and thank you.
Starting job using Olympus Player/pedal - does this have a good player with slow down speeds - I do
Until now I have always used company software with player included. I hate to spend money and find out the player is mickey mouse!!
Thanks- you may e-mail me if you prefer.
65 character line versus gross lines versus pay by word
I am checking into other options for transcription. Can anyone tell me how to compare all of these types of lines & also payment per word? I know companies use different scales, so I wondered how they compare. I have been paid on a 65 character line with spaces, but I may be making a change in the future - don't want to get burned.
Thank you in advance!
Are you working in DOS or Windows? In Windows, it's Kilobytes.

Question versus gross lines versus 65-character lines....
I have always charged or been paid by 65 or 60 character lines or per letter or space typed, but have never been paid or charged per gross line.
What is the advantage of this? If I were to charge 11 cents per 65-character line including spaces, what does this figure out to for an average line rate and how do you do this calculation?
I'm wondering if it is financially beneficial for me to bill by gross line or to keep it the way I have it. I do know some accounts will only pay per 65-character line, as this was the deal my first own account I recently acquired. They were adamant on a 65-character line, but didn't specify with or without spaces and I personally would never not charge for spaces.
Thanks for explaining this. I appreciate it and hope everyone has a speedy day.
XP Media
Might be the fact too that you are using XP Media and not XP Home or XP Pro
Don't believe the news media (sm)
You are so right. Everything is going up but our wages and it's happening all over. It is time for everyone to get their finances in order. We are all going to have to tighten our belts and get our finances in order and get rid of credit cards!

Alert The Media
Do you think you could draw the attention of the media for this cause? Maybe there's a spunky investigative report who would want to get the story out.
Typical media; what do they know.
nm
it is a form of media ...
for healthcare professionals. It has a circulation. It is readily available in schools. All media matters because what is in the media influences the way people think. I think it gives a negative view of us to those who call the shots over us who read it. That's why I think it matters.
This is HEARSAY from media and/or Mrs. Twitty.
You all quote media as if it should be written in stone. Obviously not enough credibility to hold this guy in jail for suspicion.
media play dictation
Anyone familiar with this? My doc is dictating via internet. It comes across on my media play and i can hear him but when i switch over to word there is no way to pause him from talking...........
The media will contact the AAMT
The AAMT will say the same old line about there not being enough US MTs. We need a good response for their lie.
I'm not surprised that the media is trying to "spin" him into a hero
but he's unqualified and unethical. The tourists that were there were able to pay him to let them out of there first, plain and simple. Once again, consider the source.
Hero my foot.
It's all part of the media's waging war on Christians
They have now pulled out all stops and have no problem making us all look like a bunch of bible-banging hicks if we speak our minds.
Microsft digital media keyboard
I just bought the above keyboard. I plugged into my dell computer and the functions like zoom in and out and my favorites do not seem to work. I cannot find any directions other that what is in the box. What am I doing wrong.
The MEDIA is owned by 5 mega corporations
and they have an agenda almost if not more devious than certain politicians...
Remember the MEDIA is owned by FOR-PROFIT corporations. Corporations like this have a LEGAL responsibility to make as much money as possible for shareholders. What does that mean? It means they choose sensational garbage over substance to "report" - and in the case of this so-called war, they BENEFIT the reads PROFIT directly and indirectly, so they purposely censor the information that gets in the way of true public awareness.
If ANYone sincerely believes the media is our friend, they have not done their homework. Don't take my word for it: Google "who owns the media" and see any number of studies showing WHICH corporations own the major news corporation.
GE make "bring good things to life" BUT they ALSO make bombs (WMD) - AND they own NBC. Connect the dots yourself, and consider asking your reps in Congress for legislation to clean up the media.
Yes, there are crack reporters who are DYING to report the truth, but they are EDITED out by their supervisors who follow the agenda of the corporate bosses.
The facts are out there if you look for them.
I got a Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard - sm
at Office Depot... not very expensive, (maybe $39?), and it has a great feature... a little lever off on the left side of the keyboard that if you want the letters to appear larger, you push it up, and smaller, you push it down. Only takes 1 finger. I LOVE it! :)

XP Media SP3 download w/DocQscribe conflicts, help needed
Can someone please advise me on any issues they have had with Windows XP Media Service Pack 3 download with DocQscribe. I know of several MTs who could not work for days, after installing service pack 3, and tech support could not help them either. I have not downloaded this yet because of this issue and need information about this prior to downloading it. I was told their F command keys still do not work either. TIA

Gossip. Saw both interviews. Grossly misdone by the media to imply US hatred. Johnny Depp lives has
dual citizenship in France and US as his wife is French. He does NOT hate USA. He vehemently denied this. He did "own" that he said the USA sometimes seemed like an aggressive puppy, jumping on other countries to make them do something the USA wanted. Had to do with the whole French thing during the war. That's ALL he said, and he later said he is not politically savvy and should have kept his mouth shut. He was sad for all the American soldiers being killed.

She said she had a DVD player for the car so it would not be that bad - sm
I drive to the Philly area (4 hour drive w/o stops) with the kids at least 4 x a year. I use my laptop (my travel computer) and play movies for the kids to watch, the one reason I bought a laptop with a DVD drive. It is great. My husband built a little table to put the computer on in the backseat with them (Suburban so plenty of room), and some of the time the kids play with their Barbies, read, gameboys, Pixtar, etc. and the other part they watch a movie or 2 (they are short movies for the most part). The trip is not too bad, and the kids don't fight, wonderful. Takes about 4.5-5 hours depending on how many food and pee stops, I carry a potty seat with me so that helps save some time and I can stop anywhere basically. So it is possible to make it pleasant, of course the kids will want/need to run about a bit when you get there after sitting strapped in all that time, but they will be fine otherwise, and I speak from much experience in this as I have been doing this for 7+ years now. The DVD player makes a BIG difference in how smoothly a long drive goes.
What .wav player are you using?
.
wav player
 Sorry to change the subject and hope this is the right board. But, I have a problem. I was testing with 2 reports to transcribe. My wav player only would let me do the first one. It is rather hard to explain but I could not access the 2nd file. I shut my computer off and tried again but it would not let me have access to it. Does anybody know what I mean? The file is unzipped and I can click on it but no audio comes up. This is on both. I just got this player and, of course, cannot find the directions so if anyone can help I would appeciate it.
I have DSS player, the doc who uses
it has a dock that is attached to his computer, he puts his player in the dock and it is able to send the voice files to my computer. Not sure all the mechanics of it on his end, but if your docs have used it before they should already have the dock and be able to send.
Dss Player for Mac
Olympus dss player for mac is tho only mac compatible program. Purchas the AS2300 kit for around $199.
What is the best .wav player
I currently use Express Scribe and wanted to get some opinions on other .wav players out there as far as dictation sound quality goes.
Thanks!!
