Can anyone tell me which medical spellchecker works with Vista?  I have Stedmans, but it does not work with Vista.  Thanks

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? 

Microsoft's new operating system, Vista, was released a couple weeks ago.  We here at Emmaus have spent weeks studying the documentation, and making the necessary adjustments in our software to be Vista-friendly.  All the applications will now run just fine under Vista (and users installing onto Windows 2000 or WinXP will see no obvious difference).

But I do not think Microsoft designed Vista for the home computer. My impression is it is wonderful for a huge corporation, e.g. General Motors, but is going to give the home user fits.  Most older applications will not run reliably under Vista.  Most older printers will not work under Vista.  And forget about on-line banking and any site that needs an ActiveX control in a web page: They just won't work under Vista.

You see, Microsoft needed to improve security from hacker attacks. They accomplished this with an operating system edict: Applications must run as a limited user.  The consequence of that is programs have traditionally saved user data in their folder under Program Files.  Under Vista they can't do that. It must be saved to %LocalAppData% for a limited user, and for an Administrator to %AppData%. Although MS has tried a kludge to accommodate older programs (by use of what they have termed Virtual Directories), it isn't very successful.

I heard some television commentator saying that Vista was the best thing that ever happened to encourage Apple computer sales. Probably for the short term, he's right, but when Apple gets a user share of the market of 20 to 30%, then hackers will have a field-day wrecking Apples.

So, in my humble opinion, should you upgrade to a Vista computer? No. (But if you do our software, MPWord, MPTools and MPSentinel are ready for you.)

Best wishes,

I got a new computer with Vista and I had to take it back.  It is not compatible with a lot of the transcribing programs.  Check with your company.  I am starting an ER account with KS and I think they use Extext.  They told me it would not work.
