I just downloaded the newest version of ES, 4.17, a couple of days ago and I receive dss files fine.  There was a couple of glitches in the "settings" which I had to change, but now plays fine.

Another possibility:   I know when I first downloaded the free ES on my second computer, I could not listen to the files, but it was because I had a different foot pedal on that computer and so I had to go in and make some changes concerning the foot pedal settings in ES. 

Are you able to play the files using just the hot keys? If you would like to compare the "settings" which I have on my computer for ES to yours, let me know and I can do that either by email or phone. 

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 -

have her go to Settings, File Types, and make sure .dss is checked. 

Hi,

I have used Express Scribe forever...just recently my .dvf files began playing Chipmunk style.  My .dss and .wav files still play perfectly.  It's just the .dvf that are giving me fits.  Tried changing every ES setting and still no luck.  I had one recommendation to do a system restore to the point before this began, but can't do that right now - too many new things added that I need and don't want to mess up. (actually, probably the instigator of this problem - either that or some Windows update!)

Has anyone else had this spontaneously occur and found a way to fix it?  Crazy days, very frustrating.  Computers are a very necessary evil in my book!

Any help would be GREATLY appreciate. 

thanks!

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!!!

Not drink out of the toilet, but about a year ago, she disappeared.  She's inside 100% of the time, so she wasn't hard to find, but she was pulling back the blankets on the bed and hiding under all the covers.  Sure enough, she was sick and had to be put on antibiotics.  I'm sure she would have died if we hadn't taken her to the vet. I also had another cat quite awhile ago that hid whenever he got sick.

I hope your kitty comes home!  My husband said that when he was young, they had a cat that would roam and be gone for long stretches of time, but he always came home.

New to this site.  Read something a while ago about Keystrokes not hiring.  Does anyone know anything about them now?  How are they to work for and how do they pay?  Thanks for any information, good, bad or ugly.

possibly pregnant, reading the junk magazines while going through the grocery store line?

So very, very few good or talented actors these days.  Give me Jerry Lewis or Bill Murray any day.  And actresses?  I can't even list any I like anymore besides Marily Monroe. 

another MT friend of mine sent me this email

 My friend's daughter works in a dermatology office.  They are opening a new additional office.  They determined that with the opening of a new office, it was far better to now buy a system for transcribing their own documents and it also allows doctor to input the codes for billing.  So, they no longer need their Transcriptionist or their coder.  Their coder is going to do other duties at the office and their home transciptionist is SOL. 

electronic word books, you can only download 2 times.  I have 2 computers and I download to both, in case something happens I have a backup.  I also tend to have computer issues for some reason and when I try to do a reinstall of the OS it doesn't keep my Stedman's.  Since I can only download twice that makes me not able to use it.   I tried to company all Stedmans to a BUS drive in case I had to restall again, but it won't work and you can't copy from one computer to another, you have to have the original disk.    

I'm not thrilled with it, but I don't think they are doing anything illegal. 

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.
