WP5.1 to WP12
Hi, I have WP12 and when you open it, it give you the option to choose the WP windows version, the 5.1 version, and something else, I think it's word? Anyway, I stupidly chose 5.1, now when I exit the program and open it back up, it is still in WP5.1 format. I cannot get that default that opened before when you open the program to allow me to use WP Windows. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.
I installed it and then installed the other schemes. SM
I put the erotic on. It is pretty funny when you go slow. Thanks, I needed that laugh. :O)
Does MT Stars FlashCount work with WP12?
TIA!!
Autocorrect can get corrupted.
There are technical discussions about all this stuff on the Productivity Talk board (Google that; I don't have the link handy). Apparently, if you get too many entries into Autocorrect, the file can get corrupted, and wreak havoc on your system (and on you).
I only have experience with Shorthand, which actually works a lot like autocorrect. Others swear by Instant Text, which I have not used.... One advantage of ShortHand is that you can do a 30-day free trial. And SH works with ALL Windows applications.
Stedman's - Corrupted file?
I figured that was it! I'll try to call Customer Service all day; thanks!! mary
It happens b/c your normal.dot file becomes corrupted.
There are two ways to deal with this. Either use a program specifically designed for speed typing (Instant Text, Smartype, etc.), or, if that's not an option, back up your normal.dot file each and every day. Email me if you want instructions on how to do the latter.
By the way, a speedtyping program (I highly recommend Instant Text) will serve you far better than the wimpy resources in Word (Auto Text and Auto Correct).
Possible corrupted download (see message inside)
It sounds like you may have a corrupted download, please re-download and restart your PC BEFORE installation.
Thanks,

Zip drive discs - help with corrupted disc
Anyone know of any tricks to get into a zip drive disk that desn't want to open up? I put the disc into the zip drive and try to open, but it keeps telling me disc not formatted. I have a lot of files in the disc that I need. I may have over filled it. I'm hoping there is a magic way to get into the disc somehow so I can retrieve the files in it.
Do not download the Panda titanium software for virus checker and spyware protection. It corrupted
my entire computer, had to have service man fix it to the tune of $150.00.
Filezilla is the software used to transfer files to an FTP server where the files "reside".

Converting voice files to digital files
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!!!
I just installed ShortHand. I need help!
Does anyone know if ShortHand can be set up to insert superscripts and subscripts? I imported all of my Autocorrect entries from Word, but it wouldn't import the formatted text. For example, can ShortHand be set up to convert the "c" in A1c to subscript? I really appreciate any help on this!
Losr wp5.1 when XP installed sm
I always kept WP5.2 for DOS in case a client had a moldly oldy and I truly enjoyed having it on hand. When my new tower came in, I realized that WP5.1 was, of course, gone for good, as the tech gave me a new tower with XP. I have the diskettes and wonder if I did have an old WP5.1 job come in, is it possible to install with XP or is DOS necessary and is it gone forever? Love WP5.1, made me lots of money in this field, it was my "buddy" and I feel I lost a good friend. Crazy? Yes!!
I have installed it at least 3 times
due to computer problems where I've had to dump my hard drive and reinstall everything.
I don't know if you are talking about disks that you bought or disks that came with a new computer.
Gee, don't know :o(. Have you installed all drivers?
I don't have an Ativa. I wish I could help!
I've had up to 4 installed at once and

I have never had any problems, I have it installed on 3 computers,
I don't have the current version on my laptop as yet (don't use my old computer anymore, would if the other 2 died though....kids have it for playing CD programs, etc. But never had any problems with downloading, installing, etc.
MTStars spellcheck help - I just installed it and
do not see the "checkmark" button at the top with my other browser buttons. How do I access the spellcheck? It is installed and shows as a program on my list of programs. Help!!!!
I'm assuming you installed the software that came with?
If so, and don't laugh, did you try rebooting? I always do that first before I worry about any computer issues. If it doesn't take care of it then go back and make sure you followed the installation steps exactly. Is it the Mircrosoft Natural Ergonomic 4000? I have that and it's great...only thing I could complain about is it's rather wide, so when I do need to use my mouse, my arm has to reach a little farther, which isn't good ergonomically, but I do everything I can to avoid using the mouse anyway...oops, I digress! Good luck with your keyboard!
If it has never been installed on another machine, then you are fine. sm
I have bought OEM software off or Ebay, came with registration numbers never used, and it was fine. I was able to register and access support.
It you purchase a new pc, it may not come with Vista installed. However, sm
it most certainty will be "Vista ready," meaning, you will have all the specs you need to perform the upgrade.
Word 2007 installed and...
I lost my Stedman's and all of my auto corrects, but everything else seemed to be alright :)
I had to reinstall Stedman's and thank goodness I backed everything up so I had my auto corrects!!
I use the free one; not installed or paid for
I think the free (run-it-when-you-need-it) is great! Sure, the real-time protection and monitoring would be great, but I'm on a budget, and I can run their free version as often as I would like (takes about 2 hours, so usually right before I go to bed) and it finds all kinds of alleged 'problems' and I tell it to fix them, and it does. Sure seems to have been helping me, but it could be that in combination with all the other things I'm trying.
My husband tried the 'free trial' on his laptop that you actually download for real-time coverage, and it apparently REALLY bogged his computer down (so he says) and he had to take it off within a couple of days.
Any help?
I use IT. I highly recommend you have it installed.
date element in Meditech is F6, I think. Press F keys all the way. Then, try alt and the F keys all the way down and then control and F keys to see what their functions are. You can jot them down on paper and make it into a toolbar by taping it to the keyboard. Now that I think of it, if you have a Help Desk, they may have a copy of the F key functions to send you.
And also, you will need a speed typing engine which will be well worth the money.
It won't work. Stedman's has to be installed from
the disks. You can't even copy it a flash drive and then try to install it on another computer.
Did you save files in .rtf format? The files need to be
as a Word document or it won't count them. Could be the problem.
how would one find out if there was a keylogger program installed(sm)

I'm confused...have you installed Bytescribe/Docshuttle more than 3x?
If so, how did you manage this?
Not true - I used OEM software and installed on 3 computers. nm

I've installed countless corporate networks...
This was my profession for years. They are secure. Wireless, wired, however. They are secure. More secure than residential by a long shot. Static IP's, WEP's, encryption, etc. It has nothing to do with it being a "public connection". You or I cannot "grab" the wireless waves out of the air. It has to do with the security set in place in the firewalls, modems, routers, etc. Not trying to be a smarty, just letting you know from experience.
Norton 360 was installed, I did a full scan, and it found nothing...MUST SM
I downloaded Malwarebytes and it found 12 critical trojans!! As soon as I find a good AV program, I'm totally uninstalling Norton's. Like you, I thought Norton was great and used it for years. Maybe it's just not keeping up with all the techno-creeps out there that have nothing better to do destroy the PCs of working people. UGH!!
Control Panel, Printers & Other Hardware, View installed
printers or fax printer, making sure the printer you are using has a "check mark" next to it. Right click on the printer that has a check next to it (if there are more than 1 listed), click on Properties. Under General, click on Print Test Page. If there is an error, it usually will list the problem and and offer you the option to use Repair. Additionally, you may want to check your connections to be sure they are secure.
I didn't have trouble when I installed, but it doesn't work well with Internet Exploer 7. sm
I have had to uninstall IE 7 due to script errors and such. Works great with the IE 6 though.

If you can get through the test files, then the sound quality on the actual company files is better. And, the dictation is never as bad as the test files, plus you have QA to help with hard blanks.

the little white piece of paper icon to bring up the window where you ADD your new entries to, type your abbreviation in the Keyword box, then drop down to the Text to Type box and put in what you need it to say, then click Okay. You're done! If you want to delete your entry, arrow down to it, then click on the Trash Can icon. It'll ask if you want to put it on the clipboard, say yes and hit okay. If you want to modify it, use the little hand on the piece of paper icon. I like to click on the Disk icon to save stuff once I enter it, too, as a backup. If you're working and want to enter a paragraph or a page, you'll hightlight your stuff, bring up the ADD window, copy and paste it into the Text to Type area using the commands on the bottom of that box, name it, and hit okay. To use hot keys and stuff, you'll have to read the instructions in the help file. Good luck! ..nm
wav files
I receive my wav files via an FTP site and return the completed files the same way. I have a digital voice file player program on my computer, with a foot pedal, and play them that way. I type in Word, save the file, and send them back via the FTP site again. I like it alot, but the program costs $200 including the foot pedal. some have demo versions, like express scribe, I think, but I have heard alot of complaints about foot pedals not being compatible with it. email if you have additional questions.
FTP files??
I am really curious about these FTP files I see. Someone has suggested to me using FTP and a digital drop box through the internet, rather than using email to send and receive. Could someone email me and explain more about this to me.
TIA
wav files
Hi, I am assuming that you have a digital wav player and foot pedal, that it is already installed and operational?? I hope so. Anyway, you need to download your wav files to a certain folder where you will be able to *find* them. I download mine to a file folder I named *new voice files*. Your digital voice file player should have an area labeled *jobs* or something similar. I have Start and Stop digital voice player. once I click on the *jobs* button, a second window opens and there is a button called *settings*. Click on this, and you have the option of where to select your *new voice files from*. there should be a *browse* button so you can locate where you downloaded the wav files to. then click *ok*. You may have to close the *jobs* window and then reopen for it to take effect. Once reopened, all the downloaded jobs should be there and you highlight which one you want to play next. You may also have to click the drop down box in the file where you placed your downloaded files and click *all files* for them to be viewed. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me. good luck. ks
FTP files
Try downloading your FTP files to your "My Music" folder. After you're done make sure the files appear in the "My Music" folder. Then when you bring up the Express Scribe and click on load the files should be there. Good luck!
Wav files
I work for a local company that has been using cassette tapes to do their work, but they have decided to try and do wav files on CD's. My question is - What exactly do I need to purchase in order to transcribe from this CD? Do I need just a wav pedal or do I need a pedal and software to go along with it? My company doesn't know because this is all new to them too. ~ Do you have a good wav pedal brand to recommend? Thanks in advance.
FTP FILES
Okay, this is probably a pretty dumb question to most of you, but what is an FTP file? Is this something that all computers have, or do you have to download something to access this capability. I have been an in-house Transcriptionist for 14 years, and we still transcribe from minicassette tapes. I worked for services many years ago, and again we transcribed from tapes. I am thinking of doing some part-time at-home transcription and see this term being tossed around. Could someone tell me what it is?
DSS files
I do dictation for a doc in Arizona and he uses DSS files. At least that is what my file extensions say when I D/L and U/L them. I go through a site called MedeDocs. They are in Texas. They use FTP to send things over the 'net. It is really easy and user friendly. I like it. I am goign to assume that my doc in AZ has a handset of some sort too. I am hazy on the details. I just type the reports. LOL.
.dss files
I am helping this girl get her computer to play these files. She had her OS reinstalled (windows XP) and now the .dss files show up with 0 duration. We have installed every codec and made sure that the .dll was in place. We even installed an olympus player on her machine in case there were other codecs needed by windows (thinking surely this would resolve the problem) but nope! Olympus won't play them either.
I know it's they are valid files because I had her email one to me and I can play it. When I go through explorer and tell it to open with windows media player or olympus, and even start/stop, nothing. I am completely at a loss.
Right now, she is loading them into olympus, converting to wav then loading them back into express scribe, since she has a pedal for express scribe.
If there's something we missed or can do differently please let us know!!
Thanks!
dss files
Does the Olympus IN-USB-1 foot pedal play dss voice files?
.zix files????????
How do I open a .zix file? I'm so confused right now
FTP files
Help! I am stuck in the 20th Century. I just applied for a job (not medical) where I may have to use Express Scribe or FTP files. I think I can handle Express Scribe, but what are FTP files? What do I need?
FTP Files
FTP is not really files, but a way to transfer them. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. I use FTP for both of my MT jobs. It is easy as pie. Think of it as two computers sharing information. I copy my jobs from an FTP site onto my harddrive and back again everyday. :-)
