Have you tried the Help menu in the Olympus player? sm

Depending on the software that came with your player, you may be able to do this but I don't know for sure. Again, .dss is proprietary to Olympus.

The suggestions below to download Express Scribe are probably your best bet. It never occurred to me to check ES to see if the .dvf file extension was supported--DUH! Is there any particular reason why you can't use the Express Scribe player? If there is a particular person or office that is telling you to do this, ask them what program they're using. And, BTW, I did notice on that the Switch site says not all .dvf file types are supported.

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.

I've used it for years and all of a sudden when I go to transcribe the file I have highlighted, the player disappears.  The "player and slider" do not stay "on top" of the WORD document.  I can minimize it and open it that way, but it is a pain.  I want it "on top" of the document so I can see progress of the file. As it is now, I "can't see it" and therefore can't open or close it.   anyone know what happened?  TIA

For crunchy snacks - pork rinds.

I ate a lot of eggs (whites), omelets, tuna, chicken, meats in general, hot dogs, cheese and fresh veggies of most sorts and salads.

Sandwiches were made inside of leaves of lettuce and rolled instead of bread, and after induction, low-carb tortillas, and I never missed the bread either.

After induction, you can munch on things like walnuts, pecans, and macademia nuts and all berries.for snacks.

Oh, while on induction, I ate a TON of sugar-free jello with home-made whipped cream whipped with Splenda.  That really satisfied my sweet tooth. 

I had to go on the Atkins because my cholesterol was high and because I had arthritis, my doc didn't want me to go on Statin drugs as that makes muscle aches/pains a thousand times worse

After the diet, I lost a lot of weight and sure enough, my cholesterol leveled out beautifully.  I also felt a thousand times better on this diet and had more energy.

I'm getting ready to go on it again....

Good luck on your diet.  

Not sure why the Alt+V and other suggestions didn't work but maybe it's because I needed to download the service packs after un/reinstalling Word. I also somehow managed to make RTF format the default in Word, but don't know how. In any case, I just thank you all so much for the help. It was such a frustrating thing to deal with and sucked the whole day away. I'm so happy that I can look forward to a productive day today, thanks to everyone here.

I'm always looking to add to our network of ICs, and especially seek out generous, cooperative transcriptionists like you folks here . We have a private board that runs on that kind of spirit and as a result we really have an awesome team. If any of you needs another company to work with, please be sure to email me (and be sure to mention this thread).

Chicken and sage dumplings and tossed salad with Roqufurt (sp?) dressing...

Next? 

Hi,

Over the past few days some weirdness has been happening with my "Favorites" listing:  Everything was ordered precisely the way I wanted it, but I look up one day to find that they have been put into alpha order.  At one point they went back to how I had them arranged; the next, they're in alpha order again. 

Have no clue what I touched/hit, the Microsoft help website is of absolutely no help, and I'm going crazy trying to find things in the spot where they used to be.  Don't want to re-train my eyes, my memory, or my fingers to searching for things in alpha order.  It's really not useful or convenient. 

Any ideas?  (short of manually moving everything back into place?  Thanks.

There must be a keyboard combination that I inadvertantly hit to make my Menu Bar (File/View/Tools, etc.) go away. Does anyone know what I need to do to toggle it back on? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Word and several other fix-its, but have realized it's probably something as dumb as this. Please help!

TIA!!!

The Olympus DS-10 will not allow the docs to tape over what they record.  I had to get this for one my docs who kept taping over everything.  They get very upset when the tape over everything.

I think the editing capabilities they are referring to means that the doctor can go back into a recording he has already done, like into the middle of it, and insert something he forgot.  If I were you, I would NOT get one that allows this.  I started out giving my docs the DS330, which has editing capabilites.  On several occasions they ended up overwriting their recording completely or inserting things in the wrong place and overwriting portions of the recording.  It was a NIGHTMARE.  If you have docs who are very careful, it may not be a problem, but my docs are not careful at all with these things.  Then they got upset at the recorder and at me!  Oh brother.... Anyway, they eventually got used to the recorders and have been using them now for years with no more problems with overwriting.  But in the beginning they had a rough time.

Now I give out the Olympus DS2, which does not have editing capabilites and have had none of the above problems.  Docs use it with ease and there is no worry of overwriting a file.  If I were you, I'd go with the DS2.  The DS330 is discontinued anyway.  Good luck.

The client set me up with it, and I only have experience with the transcription units, although I know the dictation units have docking stations that send the voice files to the computer.

I checked and one transcription unit runs around $400, although you can find it a little bit cheaper if you look hard enough.

Hope this helps.
