I also have Gearplayer - The dictations are on a CD and open up with Media Player. How do I transfer over to my Gearplayer so that I may use my footpedal??? I have tranferred them over to my Gearplayer, but unable to open files!

Thanks for your help.  

This is the first work I've been sent.  I was not able to figure out GearPlayer in time to take the test, so I had to manually play the sound, type, etc. 

I was told (here) that I could drag the sound file over the GearPlayer window and it would load.  I tried that tonight, but there was an error.  So I read some instructions from GearPlayer and it mentioned files have to be in HTML format, so you could save the file to your computer and then drag and drop it.  I tried that and I'm not getting an error message; it looks like it loaded fine, but when I use the footpedal all I hear is STATIC.  What is wrong?

Gearplayer can be downloaded for a 5-day trial.  After that, you have to order it from Transcriptiongear.com.  If you have a foot pedal (Infinity or any USB port foot pedal or 9-pin foot pedal),  you can just order the software itself.  I just ordered it and it took 4 days to get to me regular mail and it was $109.00 including tax.  If you don't have a foot pedal, then it is about $150. with the foot pedal and software.

I really like the gearplayer as it cleans up the audio quality on most hard-to-hear or scratchy audio files you may receive and you can slow it down much slower than with Express Scribe.  However, if you can make due with Express Scribe and save yourself some money, I would continue to use that.  The company I just started with, unfortunately, not all of their audio files are very clear and I found I needed the gearplayer for that reason.

They are both similar although I do find Expresscribe easier to work with.  Expresscribe is free - GearPlayer is not.  Also, you can only install GearPlayer once with the same install code.  If you need to reload it for some reason, you have to get written permission from customer service.  In my case, I had been nursing a 'sick' computer that finally crashed just as my new computer arrived late on a Friday.  After setting the new computer up, I called customer service to get a new install code - they don't work nights or weekends.  So I called them on Monday and they had to fax me a paper to sign stating I was requesting a new install code because my old computer had died and I was having to reinstall on a new computer (if you want to put it on 2 computers, you have to pay extra).  I faxed that piece of paper back and it was another 24 hours before they provided me with a new install code.  If I had known about ExpressScribe then, I would have just used that.  So don't waste your money on GearPlayer.

Can you please tell me where you found gearplayer?  Do you have a link where you got it and the patch for vista?  I really am glad that you responded to me post.

Thanks so much

You have to pay for it .  Their Customer Service is Great!

Call their number under "Contact Us" and get their advice.  GP was recommended to me by a client I transcribe notes for and it's compatible with the dictating systems the doctors/nurses use.  Check all of this out.  You may have to contact the dictating machines' websites too that you transcribe for..   mary

I have never used gear player before and was told that I would need to use the gearplayer software and a comparable footpedal to type files.  I am used to express scribe which is free and using my infinity foot pedal. Is gear player a free program like scribe or am I going to have to pay for it?

Barely used GearPlayer 4 for sale.  Ordered it in January, but don't use it as contract has since changed back to ES.

Disk and hasp key in perfect condition.  Will sell for $50.00 via paypal.  Item will ship out with tracking number via USPS.

When you work for yourself which voice player do you prefer?  I have tried all of the above players and all of them seem to distort the voice when you slow it down.  Why can't these players slow down files like the platforms MTSOs use?
