Express Scribe, Gear Player, etc.
I have used Express Scribe for years and love it. I had to restore my Win XP computer and now it will not play the .dss files. I also have Express on my Vista without problems. I have done everything that I know to do to get it to work, installed an older version, downloaded the .dss files, etc. I am currently having to work on Gear Player or use my laptop to play the sound files. What else is everyone using out there besides Express, Gear, or Bytescribe?? Any help would be appreciated!
You can use Express Scribe (or other player)
With the latest update - 4.91 - you cannot use any player other than the one that is built in. Also need a USB pedal.
You use your own player, i.e. Express Scribe
An FTP site is where the voice files are uploaded. Normally, FTP is where you get the voice files to download to your player. Then, you type in Word, and then you upload your Word files (transcription) back to the FTP site. It's not a transcription platform. I'm no expert though, but I've used FTP sites. I hope this "kinda" helps. The other thing you could do is Google FTP sites and see if you can get a better explanation.
Player other than Express Scribe
Does anyone use their windows media player to play transcription files? Does this work well for you? What other players would you suggest?
The Express Scribe player uses hot keys.
It takes some getting used to but in your situation, it may be what you're looking for.
Express Scribe is a free player...
which lots of us use, just Google express scribe and you will be able to find plenty of sites ot download it from.
For the other items you might try the "classifieds" right here on MTStars, ebay or Craigs list. Good luck!
Does anyone know how to make Express Scribe default player for .wav files? TIA.....nm

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

Heads up folks! I use Express Scribe wav player, but don't waste your money on their other
paid for products because they're buggy and have horrible customer support! I bought Express Dictate for my doctors and Express Delegate and I have had nothing but one problem after another. Forget calling, that's not an option. I have emailed until I'm blue in the face and the "support" I get are canned responses and they do not address the problems I'm having. They have a forum you can post on, but no one ever posts responses. My client has been extremely patient, actually too patient, and now I'm looking for another alternative. I can't tell you how many sleepless nights I've had over the past almost 4 weeks. Thanks for letting me vent...sigh....
Download Express Scribe (free player) and see if you can pull the voice file into it. nm

You cannot adjust the speed in Win Media Player. Download Express Scribe free NM
?
I use Gear Player and Gear Xport. Love them! nm

GearXport / Gear Xport / Gear Player
Hi! Does anyone have a Gear Xport and/or Gear Player they are no longer using and could sell to me? I thought I'd try and buy used before going new. Let me know!
Thanks,
Traci
Anyone using Gear player?
Sounds like a really good package deal, anyone using it? I am thinking of using the digital recorder and buying the gear player package.
TIA,
Sunny
Gear Player is also...
an alternative.
gear player--sm
i downloaded the free 5 day trial of gear player to take a test. Cannot get it to work. The icon is on my desktop, but when i try to open it to drop the voice file in, it only appears for a few seconds and then nothing. any ideas??
Gear Player is the best.
I have been using Gear Player for 4 years now and it just keeps getting better. It plays what I need it to play. I had tried StartStop before Gear Player and it was like I was back on Windows 95. Above all I love Gear Players support department, the guys are very friendly and can fix anything if you ever do need to call them.
Gear Player,
Gear Player, Transcription Gear, several places have those for sale. Also on E-Bay.
GEAR PLAYER---I was going to put it on e-Bay, but...sm
Email me if you are interested. I'll give you a great deal on it! It was brand new when I bought it and used it only for about a month.
Please let me know either way. I need the $$. Thanks!
Gear Player is one that's used often. Need to purchase it. nm

I bought Gear Player
a few years back and it's been really good. Just throw the file in there and transcribe away. Check it out. Their latest model is probably even better.
Help with Gear Player linking
I'm trying to do a test file, which I haven't done in a long time, and the only footpedal I have is Gear Player. The sound file was sent on Windows Media Player. Are these compatible? Because I can't get this footpedal to link to it. Bear in mind I'm technically challenged and usually have help setting these things up. I found a foot pedal test picture that lit up when I pressed each of the three footpedal controls, so the problem seems to be that I don't know how to link it to Windows Media Player, or else this foot pedal is incompatible.
VPEDAL AND GEAR PLAYER
Help plz.. does anyone use the VPedal (from Career Step) and use it with Gear Player? I can get it to work with Express Scribe, but not Gear Player. It it even compatible? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!
VPEDAL AND GEAR PLAYER
Thank you Gail! I am sure they can help.
Gear player or Bytescribe
Gear player vs. bytescribe... which is the more versatile?
I am currently using start/stop, but the voice files I get it will not let me speed them up. Dives me INSANE to listen to a sssssllllllllooooowwwwww dictator and not be able to speed them up.... actually would like to go whomp them up the side of the head  .. but since that is not an option...
Looks like Gear player you can buy just the software, but Bytescribe you have to pay another 50 bucks and get the foot pedal.. no option that I could find not to.
Thanks for any suggestions you all might have to offer.
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.

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!
Express Scribe
I need some info on Express Scribe. I have everything set up, but when I push on the foot pedal to play and then let up it keeps playing. Any suggestions as to what the problem is?
