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. 
should not have jumped that much according
to the TV this morning. Newscaster stated the oil supply would not be diminished by that much and also not for very long. Suggested reporting dramatic increases in gas prices, as this is considered "price gouging".
That's EXACTLY what I said last wk and got jumped
not mentioned, you are exactly right.
Something else I have wondered about. If the omnipresent THEY have so thoroughly evaluated and calculated our skills based on GAWD ONLY KNOWS WHAT - probably looked at 3 reports in our files - .......if a person who is an SE opts out of ARS and wants to ACTUALLY TYPE reports and not do hen scratching all day - and they permanently are left with the bottom scrapings because of such a choice...........................................will we get a RAISE (new word in their vocabulary so I'm using it here for their education) from the salary we are now getting since SCUM will be a steady diet now? (like we get anything else but bad reports once they know we can do them! but I just had to wonder)
Ours jumped yesterday
from $2.49 to $2.72. Don't know what it jumped to today. I saw that $2.99 on the news in Cedar Rapids-guess it isn't so bad yet in my small town.
I'm with you. Jumped the shark! (nt)
I would have jumped at the chance.
20 minutes away? The last job where I actually was offered any training was 45 minutes away, but I went. Although meeting face to face is not necessary, I always enjoyed putting a face to a name/voice. I think, in this case, it was irresponsible of the MTs to blow this off. With my present job the MTSO came out and loaded the software on my computer and briefly showed me how to use it. I appreciated even that much. Most of the time ICs are expected to just be able to do it. I am an older MT with lots of experience, but I scramble for any technical experience/training I can get.
In mid Michigan it has jumped to $3.19 today!
nm
$3.19 here too, jumped 20 cents overnight.

You correct others' spelling and get jumped on

Whoa. Someone around here jumped to conclusions.
LOLOLOLOLOL
This has jumped from "mentoring" to teaching....sm
Starting a school would be the last thing I would want to do. I have thought about simple "mentoring," not all the other hassels. I think the original poster means that also but maybe as an employee. I would want to do it on my own just for a few people at a time. As I said before....not big bucks.....
I know! And did you see the way she jumped down my throat assuming that I was talking about HER!
Talk about soapbox. But I do agree with you
No I don't know these things, I am sorry, I guess I jumped the gun on an MT post. Sorry , really
n
And if thousands of people jumped off bridge,

Jumped only .10 so far in Mechanicsville, VA - got a Suburban....luckily have quite a full tank -
at least! Plus once the kids are in school I don't drive much.....luckiy!
30 hours divided by four days equals seven-hour days. Most of us have to work pretty much every day
.
Working 6/hour days, 5 days/week I make
$42,000.00, but the work is there to make more if I want to. I'm in the southeast.
2000 low days, 4000 busy days
Did 43,000 lines last month. 6 doctors.
You can "make a living" if you work 16-hr days, 7 days
and if you rarely buy anything but food and the barest essentials in clothing. My balancing act is so precarious that all it'll take is one of life's little disasters (rent increase, sick pet, major car repair) to pull the rug out from under me. Not a good feeling at all.
550-650 lph on average. Some days more, some days less. It all depends. nm

How? By working 12-hr days 7 days/week?

Bytescribe
There has been a B I G change in bytescribe. It seems to be all about money now, and no longer about good customer service/relationship. I bought a call in system 4-5 years ago. I no longer take the yearly service contract and had a question to ask. I did not want anyone to FIX it, just answer a couple of questions. I was told that to speak to a tech would be 75.00 (I guess an hour) and that they would call me back between 1 and 5 that day. Not like this at first.
They at one time, told me about the 3 limit install on the wav software, however as of yet I have not had to pay, as I have bought more than 10 of them.
No, it's right from Bytescribe (sm)
Go here
https://bytescribe.net/WebStore/shopping.htm
And from that page click on DocShuttle on the left. It will bring up different versions and you'll see there is DocShuttle Client for $99and DocShuttle Client with Dongle for $115. You have to buy it with the dongle right from the beginning. If you don't and just buy it without and run out of installs, they won't let you just buy the dongle. You have to buy the whole thing all over again. We all know that with computer failures and backup computers and new computers, etc., we definitely need more than 3 installs so I think for the small price difference it's worth it.
Yes I do. I have Bytescribe
and I have Expresscribe that I downloaded as well. So does it sound like it would work, him emailing me voice files and then I would just open them and play them (is that how it works?) TIA!
need to know about Bytescribe
Is it user friendly? Easy to install? Thanks.
bytescribe
I have been using it as a trans - there are three versions, owner, dictator and trans. It is pretty much like FTP, only work is automatically placed into a preset folder and you work out of that folder with your player - as for the documents - I use my own folders and attach the document, although you can use the program to devlop a document - one I return all the work I move the voice files into a different folder out of the way and then also move the douments that develop when attached into a done folder too - it sounds complicated, but it is not. The documents in the bytescribe folders are backup for me - they "pop up" when I attach my word document to the voice file and send. Again, it sounds a bit much, but really no more than many other avenues of returning work - and again you get a backup for those "what ifs".
Bytescribe
I believe has such a system with DocShuttle etc.. I worked for a small company that used this with docking stations for the MD office
Bytescribe
I used Bytescribe's equipment when first starting. It worked great. I would make sure that they offer the option that you and any MTs working for you do *not* have to buy their DocShuttle software to get the dictations off the server. They also offer a pay as you go dictation server, never tried it though. Good luck! Let us know what you try. (I also tried Express whatever and it cut off my dictators every single time and you are right, they never gave me any explanation and the tech support was ridiculous!)
RE: Bytescribe
There is compatible issue with Bytescribe and Windows Vista. I have Vista.
I like Bytescribe
Question re: bytescribe please! sm
I am a newbie who has been working about 8 months now. I have a standard wav player and Express Scribe and Play All Extra. I am looking for a change in employers since my current job has lost another account. I applied, tested and have been offered a job that requires a bytescribe wav player. Is this another program I have to purchase to make my regular foot pedal work with their program?Please forgive me if this has been addressed before. I have been up all night working and just cant seem to find what I am looking for. I am a little confused about all the different programs for the foot pedals. Since I have Express Scribe and Play All is that okay, or is this bytescribe thing a whole ball of wax? Thank you so much for any help!
Beware of Bytescribe
Just a head ups about Bytescribe. While the program itself is great, beware that it can only be reinstalled 3 times even on the same computer. So, if you are unlucky enough to have to replace or reformat your computer, your Bytescribe program will no longer be of any use to you after your third instillation. They will be happy to send you an unlimited license for an extra 109.00 after the fact! Isn't that nice of them? This information is not given to you until after you have made the purchase during the registration process. I am now stuck with a several hundred dollar program that is useless. I hope I can spare someone from wasting so much money. I wish I would have been warned about this beforehand.
Beware Bytescribe
From register@bytescribe.com
"Our registration process is necessary because we sell foot pedals separately and because we deal with International markets.
In the registration agreement it states that the software can be installed up to 3 times.
We would like to keep you as a satisfied customer but we do have guidelines set by our company."
Beware Bytescribe
Yes, I have been trying to resolve this issue with them since yesterday. They are not budging and I refuse to pay another 109.00. I'm not sure if they just started it. My software was purchased along with a pedal and headset about a year and a half ago. I actually have the disk here at home. In any case, I've filed a complaint about them to the BBB. I'm not telling anyone not to buy it, I just want everyone to be aware of what you are really getting. Had I known I could only install it 3 times (even on the same computer) I would not have bought it.
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?
Question about Bytescribe
I trained on Bytescribe Wavplayer several weeks ago, then wasn't going to be using it for awhile, so unplugged it, then had to plug it back for some reason, and since it was in my way and I still wasn't using it for my job, I unplugged it again. (It is still on my desktop though). Does that mean I will be going on my 3rd time when I plug it back in?? I'm confused. I haven't even used it yet! It was supplied by my company.
I use startstop over the bytescribe. don't know about the other one. nm
Bytescribe 3x install
We've been using Bytescribe for years and are happy with the product. We recently added a new customer, so I purchased a DocShuttle Dictator and also found out, upon receiving it, that there was a 3-times install license. I suppose they have been experiencing, or think they have experienced piracy.
What I did not read in this thread is that you can, for about 10 or 20 dollars more, purchase a version of all this software that has a dongle (thing you plug into the USB port) so that you can install it as many times as you want. The software checks for this device and does not run unless it is there.
I think that Bytescribe could have made this clear to their customers and on the web site. Even though I am technical, this passed me by about why there was a dongle and no-dongle version. It didn't clearly state what the dongle did and why one would purchase it...until I called and asked after my purchase.
I would also suggest to everyone that the 3x install may not be part of prior licenses of the software, so I would guess that a new policy by Bytescribe does not affect software that came out before this policy and licensing arrangement. I've never bothered to check it out.
Overall, I think that Bytescribe is a great company. It is likely a small company like many of ours and cannot handle large numbers of inquiries with many variations that exist all the time. They've been very friendly to us and very responsive on all support requests. The only thing I wish they would do is add more features for more complex business interactions with multiple customers and multiple contract transcribers. The transcription business is getting more complex, especially with HIPAA and large distributed medical offices.
Do you have Bytescribe WavPlayer?

Bytescribe Orator
Looking for feedback on setting up and using Bytescribe's Orator call-in system. Suggestions on other call-in systems also appreciated.
Might try DocShuttle by Bytescribe...
This software will do what you what. I use it and it sures makes life easier for me!! See link.
What do you mean 3 installs with Bytescribe?...sm...
I'm only talking about the Wavplayer, which was one install. Did you install the Wavplayer, DocShuttle, and something else maybe?
Thanks for the info on ExpressScribe. I might give them a try again. I'm thinking about training my DD and it would give her something to use, at least until we see if she sticks it out.
Don't know if Play-All or ByteScribe do this, but that's

DocShuttle/Bytescribe
Is anyone familiar with DocShuttle or Bytescribe?
DocShuttle/Bytescribe
Is the program user friendly? Reliable?
Emdat/Bytescribe
Can anyone please tell me if Bytescribe is compatible with Emdat. If so, how do you configure the pedal to work with the program?
TIA!
i used bytescribe and never had trouble nm
:0)
Check out Bytescribe. sm
I have their call-in dictation system and it has worked well for me, as well as a friend who has the same system. Their systems are reasonably priced. I also use their DocShuttle software to "shuttle" dictation to subs. See link below.
I would go with Bytescribe's Orator Pro.

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.
Agree. I have Bytescribe too.
