How about downloading a trial version of Wavplayer from Bytescribe (or other wav player)....sm
Posted By: AllieCat on 2008-01-25
In Reply to: ruled out source recorder as well... - bkea1985
and see if the .dvf files will work. That could help isolate some of the problem. Can you get them to play in Media Player?

Bytescribe has a version of Wavplayer that will
convert DSS to Wav files. I use it so the voice files will sound better. The DSS files on the WavPlayer were alittle garbled on slow or fast speed so this converts them to Wav files, which plays better. You could call Bytescribe and ask them if it will convert DVF files to Wav files. It does it automatically when it loads the voice file.
Bytescribe wavplayer
I have a Bytescribe wavplayer, but it doesn't fit into my speakers. Does anyone know what kind of speakers I need to get, or do I need to drag the foot pedal into the store with me to try it out?
Do you have Bytescribe WavPlayer?

No, I'm talking about Bytescribe WavPlayer.
You are only permitted three installations before you have to purchase another license. This becomes a problem if you're using a second computer, such as laptop for travel; when you eventually have to replace your computer (as I do about every 2 years), you're out of luck after the third install.
Bytescribe does say that you can work around that with something called a dongle--problem is they don't advertise it and I didn't know about it after the third install. So, IMO, it was not money well spent, especially when I found that Express Scribe was free and worked very well for me.
Bytescribe wavplayer will play DSS files.
Bytescribe .wavplayer will play the DSS files from Olympus.
does anyone know about a 3-limit install on DocShuttle, Wavplayer and other Bytescribe products? sm
they told me after three installs, even if I buy a new computer, I have to buy the program all over again, at $100 a pop. Has anyone else ever been told this? Sounds like a rip off to me.
Try downloading this player
http://www.olympus-europa.com/consumer/2590_4694.htm
It should open the file and then maybe you can change the format of the file back to a wav file.
Bytescribe offers a 14-day trial (DocShuttle).

Maybe downloading the newest version will help.

Bytescribe player
You can just buy the player. I use it and found it to play all files even those pesky ds2 files from Olympus that I get, which nothing else will play. I also love the tech support; always get a response. I have used GearPlayer also in the past and found it okay, but the files it will play are limited. HTH.
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.
Since it is a trial version...
They may only allow you to play their pre-loaded files and not add your own. Why not try the Express Scribe player--it really is free. Link below.
Bytescribe is also a player, the platform is Bayscribe.
The trial version I had before did find and
that my Spybot and Ad-Aware missed. I had some nasty at the time that my trial version of Ewido took care of quite nicely that the others couldn't. Definitely worth the download.
So glad you posted the above, about the newer version (still had the old expired exe's in a file on my computer just as a reminder to think about buying it at some point).
Are you using a trial version that has run out of time?

Bytescribe versus Start/Stop - which wav player is better? SM
I'm trying to decide which audio player software and pedal to purchase. I'm also looking at GearPlayer. I want something user friendly, universal to audio file types, and compatible with whatever service I end up with should I need to have my own software and equipment.
Thanks guys and gals!
Where do I get the trial version of Shorthand? Sorry! No clue!!! Thanks for
the help!
You can download a trial version free.

Free trial version, 20 bucks to buy...(sm)
I use the Abacus line counter. They have a trial version which is free and gives you accurate line counts, or you can buy it for $20. Here's the link: http://www.theabacus.biz

Intant text trial version???
Does anyone know where to get a trial version of Instant Text? Thanks!
Works ok, but you get what you pay for. I think there is a free trial version. Not nearly as good

Abacus is not free. It is $20 but worth it. You can download a trial version free which does not h
I have used this for years and have compared to Sylvan, Word, and MP Count, etc. When you have it set to count every character, bold, shift, tab, etc. It is great and always higher than the others. Now if you are wanting gross lines like in Word then no it won't be as high because Word counts blanks lines and Abacus counts a line only if there is a character on it. There is also two places to check for it to count the Headers/Footers. If you have the FREE version then it must be the trial or a very old version so you don't have all the features and functions.
Believe me, like illegal music downloading, program downloading exists too! (nm)

I am not sure but I think Bytescribe and Expresscribe are similar. I have Bytescribe with a 9-pin
serial port for my foot pedal. My foot pedal has worked fine with several different programs and proprietary software too, sometimes I have had to reselect/reset in in the proprietary programs, but it alwasy works fine. You can ask the Bytescribe people though, and tell them what kind of foot pedal you have and they will make sure you get the correct version so it will work. As for PlayAll it will not work if you have Bytescribe on your computer, at least this is what I have been told my 1 of my employers. I was given a copy of the PlayAll but I can't get it to work, it will open up and I just right down the info I need from it for my records and blank notes, just won't "play" supposedly because I have Bytescribe. I am not taking it off to see or not though. You need to find out what kind of wav files they are though because if the ExpressScribe will play them, then there is really no reason for you to buy Bytescribe too. --Good Luck. 
Starting job using Olympus Player/pedal - does this have a good player with slow down speeds - I do
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.
They're still at version 7 and version 8 is supposed to come out this Fall, which may be compatib
What's the best wavplayer?
I need to purchase a wav player. What would you recommend as the best?
Thank you!
WavPlayer help.
New to WavPlayer and need to put voice files into WavPlayer from e-mail attachment. Tried dragging and dropping, but did not work. Do I need to save these voice files somewhere else and drag them in to WavPlayer from there. Testing for a new company and can't get past this. Good grief! Off to a bad start. Help please. TIA.
and you should buy Wavplayer to transcribe in. nm

The best wavplayer can be found inexpensively.
Express Scribe is free to download. You can also find wav pedals very cheap on eBay that will work with it. I paid $10 for a game port pedal four years ago and $10 for a USB pedal two months ago. Try searching for "foot petal" to see what comes up.
didya notice that FAQ isn't on the Docshuttle or WavPlayer faq?
only under their general faq. I feel like they're hiding it to rip off people who don't comb the entire site to get the dongle. 
Does anyone use DocShuttle and WavPlayer together for their digital transcription? Has it worked out
xx
This is why I uploaded the 4.15 version. It's a previous version

Works is a dumbed down version of Word and Excel. You get the full version of Word in the Suite.
The Works Suite is a cheaper way of getting a full version of Word if you don't want or need the other applications in Office.
Do you still have the CD's for downloading - sm
or backup of your old Windows system? If so, I'm fairly certain you could download that onto a new computer in addition to Vista, and run that instead 'til things clear up with the Vista problem at some MTSO's.
Either that, or hang onto your old PC to use for work only, and in the meantime you can buy the new PC and get used to Vistas and its quirks & differences, etc. without worrying about it messing up your work.
Help- What do I need for downloading?
I just had a Dr. ask me if I was able to download dictation. What does that mean, like from an email or something? I am new so what do I need to get? I downloaded express Scribe, but I don't even know how it works! I am ordering a foot pedal and headphones right now.
Downloading all folders...sm
The Olympus software that comes with the recorders always downloads every folder that has files in it, and you just need to make sure whatever file transfer method you use checks in all of the folders for new files.

Suggestions for PC, just used for downloading,
You might try downloading ExpressScribe.
I think it has a few test files when you first down load it that you could practice on.
Downloading dictations (sm)
If you key in alt-ctrl-Z while the first one is loading, it will prevent the other two from downloading from the queue. When you are ready to submit and do another file, you will need to key in that sequence again to allow the next one to come in.
downloading terror
Dawn you must have been the fly on the wall at my place. It's been monstrous downloading unfamiliar programs and some of those doctors are somebody's idea of a terrible joke - the kind you have to have a report of theirs in front of you so you can learn what they are saying. I have never tested online til now.. As for now, I am taking a day or 2 off of applying after I put stupid wrong info on an app, my own fault for being "frantic". Time to walk away for a day or so. I got told by one company they would call me when they have work, I felt it was a kind brush-off, and I cried myself to sleep.
H&A Timeclock - after downloading, how do you get it to work?

Virus after downloading DQS from website
Has anyone lately downloaded DQS from their website?
I down loaded two computers (PC and laptop). Both were
infected from a virus found in the WEBCORRECT.exe file.
Anyone else encounter this problem? My virus program isolated the virus and then I deleted the file. I forgot to write
down the virus, something like Trojan Backhorse? Not really sure.
Problems downloading Vianeta...
Has anyone had problems trying to download the Vianeta program onto their computer? I have been at this for over 3 weeks and am now facing the prospect of having to do a full system restore on my PC. I was wondering if anyone who uses this platform has had problems and if so, offer a solution other than a system restore.
Downloading medical speller ? (sm)
I googled medical dictionaries and spellers and I've found several. Some are free. What's the concensus? Are the free ones just as good as buying the Stedman's or something comparable? Opinions please.
Thanks. 
When does it occur? On boot up? downloading? other?

Downloading Editscript files
After you log in, it takes a while for several reports to load. When you get your first screen, you hit Alt U to get the first report. Hope this works for you.
Trouble downloading test.
I got an e-mail with an attachment for a typing test. When I opened the attachment I took about a second and screen went into my player but the job was not there to transcribe. I never had this happen before. I was resent the attachment and the same thing happened. I have had problems before with the foot pedal working but also had the voice portion so was still able to test. Any suggestions ? TIA.
no, it's called illegal downloading - sm
and the key word is "illegal"
Downloading DSS files from TASP
I will need to download and play DSS files from a TASP system. My boss says I will need to purchase a player and program from Olympus to do this. Others have said I can use Bytescribe or Express Scribe with my USB pedal. My question is, if that's the case, how easy will it be to transfer from a TASP and play them on one of these players. My boss is making it out to be an impossible task. She said others have tried other programs and other foot pedals with either partial success or no success. Any help would be appreciated. The pedal package is $300 and who can afford that? Not I! Thanks and happy typing!
