In Reply to: Really? I never save mine in .rft, only .doc, & they are counted just fine. - Must be lucky
I did not care for them. I went with Spellex. Good program. Don't have to save files to any rtf. format, just doc. works good. They have a free trial too.

Download Express Scribe, it's free, when you download the voice files you will listen to....
them in Express Scribe and you can set your footpedal up. I forget where the downloaded files go, can't remember if you can put them where you want them but I would have to search for them to download to Express Scribe - maybe someone else can tell you how. It is much better than what you are doing.
I just tried Sylcount and
I count by gross line and compared to MP Count, Sylcount counted a lot less lines for me! I could see where you could get a higher line count if you are counting by characters though since it offers the option of so many other keys you can include that are not technically characters but are actual keystrokes.
Just thought I would let you know what I found when I compared the two by counting by gross lines. :)
I like Sylcount.

sylcount
I downloaded Sylcount (30-day trial) and followed the instructions perfectly. The first time I used it, it went fine. Now when i use it, i get "Could not attach or start WinWord.Files cannot be counted & reported" What did i do wrong??
Sylcount
If I remember correctly, it has been a while since I used it, Sylcount stores by the file name after you count them, and keeps it or is easily recounted again. I always name the document by date and then doctor initials, i.e. 6-6-07.jlc; 6-6-07.rbf, etc. Then when I counted by Sylcount I would count all of those files with the doctor's extension and it would give me a list and a total. It does not produce an invoice but if I remember correctly it does give you a list from which you can easily transfer or type into an Invoice, i.e. Quick Books, and also attach the list printed so they can see the daily totals. Right now I just use a spread sheet, foro my 7 docs, do my daily counts, keep them listed and produce an invoice and attach a copy of the spread sheet for each doctor. Again, all my files are easily accessible and countable since I can search from the extension of their initials.
Someone one else might have a better system I am sure. Patti
Sylcount - great
I do not know about the other two but I like Sylcount because it can be set to count extra character for caps, bolds, underlines, etc.
I just use Sylcount. You don't say what "reasonable" is but this is $99 and SM
has paid for itself with its invoice program.
I used Sylcount before too and it was great nm
I used to swear by Sylcount but recently
to Practicount. You get the same counts as you do in Sylcount but you don't have to save the files in the rich text format for it to work. I found it annoying to have to save everything in RTF and my version of MS Word would always ask if I wanted to save it in RTF, and I'd have to answer "yes" to two different pop-ups before it would even save. There might have been a way around that, but I found Practicount worked just as well without that bother so I switched.
Maybe that's it. Mine is SylCount Gold and relatively new.

Are y'all meaning Sylcount?
If you need an Expander too, you can get Instant Text, which has counting, invoicing, and reporting built in. :-)
I use the invoicing report that Sylcount produces.
.
Sylcount IV lines only. You can trial for 30 days.
Hmm, I use gross lines and Sylcount is always higher
I've compared Sylcount with several different line counting programs and Sylcount was always higher, even if it was only by 10 lines. I did find that PractiCount is the same as Sylcount and I ended up switching to that since you don't have to convert files to rich text format, but other than that, I always found Sylcount to be the best.
Might be a newer version. I used Sylcount a while back
I switched to PractiCount myself because it gives a line count similar to that of Sylcount but you don't have to save the files in any special format. When I had Sylcount, though, I definitely had to save them in .rtf format or it would tell me it was not a Sylvan .rtf file and that I had to resave document in that format to count it. I remember because anytime you reopened a file, you also had to save it all over again under .rtf format because it would default to something else. Real PITA!
Sylcount is good. It gave me a higher count

I use a line counter system similar to sylcount--sm
It has an invoice feature within it. I save my daily files by patient name and whether CN, H&P, etc. If I had to run an invoice like that each month, it would be much easier to have your files by each doctor and then run the invoice feature on the line counter. It would count each patient during that month by name and list it on the invoice that way, as well as including the line count and the cost. It would be much easier than doing it by hand. Good luck to you.
Download antikeylogger from download.com.

You can download
Express Scribe for free if you need it. It works great.

Hi everybody,
Does anyone know where to go to download the sony digital voice Editor 2? This is supposed to be a free download. I need it to start a new job, and I can't find it. Help anyone?
download
Rebecca,
Are you the former surgery tech? Just curious because I saw your previous emails. No matter. I don't know where you'd find what you're looking for, but I just want to say congratulations on the new job!!!!
download
yeah, t'is I. thank you very much NN. it's an oncology account. don't know too much about that but I'll give it everything I've got.
Rae, what are your download and ...
upload speeds, and what satellite company are you with?
You may want to download
The voice file onto your hard drive first, and then load it into Express Scribe.
I did download it, but
I cannot get it set right as far as rewinding back far enough. Any hints? Thx.
where did U download it from? NM
Thanks all I will download it!
nm
will need to download...
This has happened to me before. You will have to go the website and download the codec in order to play you wav files. Cannot remember how I did it, but once you find the download you should be fine. You could just do a search on Express Scribe codec to find the download.
Good Luck---I use Express Scribe also.
download them
yes, you need to download them. Create a folder on your desk top named something like voice files. Then download them to that folder.
Download again
Have you tried removing Express Scribe and downloading it again?
I use this website:
http://www.nch.com.au/in/ggscribe.html
Then go to near the bottom of the page and click:
Download Express Scribe for Windows (Primary Server - zip file)
Some of the other downloads cause the problems you are having. Let me know how it goes.
I have tried that and I can download it....sm
but they said I have to be able to play sri files which you have to download additional stuff to do. I tried that and still wouldn't work. Then she sent me her version she uses and it had that gid file on it and my computer said it didn't recognize it and couldn't download. So it isn't just ExpressScribe, it is other stuff too to enable sri files.
Try a download at Download.com
They used to have a free recorder that would work on the PC...and would be wav file which works in Express Scribe
Wow! That is awful. My first download did take a
but NOTHING like what you experienced (maybe 3-5 minutes instead of almost immediately for me).
So it probably really depends on where you live, etc., and no good way to predict just how bad it would really be.
Were your ADT searches really bad too? Probably took me twice as long as usual, so pretty frustrating, but not totally unbearable. And the fact that the other reports were downloading in the background while I was working on the current one did make things go smoother than I had expected for the short period of time I lost my DSL and had to use dial-up.
See the URL for download inside

upload/download...
i know nothing about wireless -- but with DSL mine were taking only about 15 seconds when i signed on. Then i got a replacement machine and it was back to about 5 min to do the initial upload. Tech support said there were problems with the new DQS version, so my replacement machine was reverted to old version. Don't know if any of this is helpful, but that's all i can offer...
You do not download the program onto the
floppy to transport, just your active working file which is called a dictionary file (SPF I think.) You download the program onto your computers and then just transport the dictionary file between them.
You can increase the amount a floppy can hold by creating a directory (or directories) on the floppy and then copying the files into the directory. If you do not do this, the computer has to put all the extra data required for a directory file onto each file you load to the floppy.
So, on your a: drive, you create a file called SH. Then copy the dictionary into that file. You can copy multiple dictionaries onto that file if you want.
You can download to computer. Yes,
if you have a license, you can put it on all your machines. Then you just copy the dictionary file onto a floppy and carry it with you and load into the machine you are using.
Stedman download sm
It is very simple and they remind you each day you have X days left, 10 in all. They don't list a price but I am told it is $179, don't know. Works very well but they should post their prices.
This may be funny, but you have to download something.

where did you download the files too. Look for wherever
they are, desktop, my documents, etc. Not sure what program you are using to try to get them to play, but you can download ExpressScribe free (google for URL) and then pull up reports out of where ever they are.
You can't download it free any more. You have to buy it now. NM
"
Thank you. I did not download it but I still cannot find it. sm
It is just when I have to turn up the volume to hear dictators who don't speak very loudly, then it hurts my ears when I forgot to take off my headphones while spell checking, etc. Thank you though.
I use scribe.net and then download
it onto express scribe. It works well.
Download from Medquist
I think the original poster means the download Medquist made available for employees. I'm not aware of the BOS being made available in that format by those who hold the copyright.
Download ES and see. If not, you can always Uninstall it. nm
s
correct, so that others could download them. nm

Yes, I did download the codec,
but it still didn't work. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I just clicked on it, it downloaded, I clicked open, it says it's installed, tried a .dss file, shows 00:00 duration, and then Express Scribe deletes it. I don't get it.
I'm having my tech guy look for free conversion programs, but he hasn't found anything yet.
Download them wherever you want onto your computer - sm
presumably into a file on your C drive. I download from Metroscript into a folder I have called MS voice files. Then I just open my Bytescribe, and then open up the file I want to "open" and play. I am sure you can do it the same way with ExpressScribe. My folder is not in the Bytescribe folder, it can be anywhere on your computer. It is not hard to do. You can set MS up to download to the same file every time though so that makes it a lot easier too.
You pay them quarterly. You can download
forms from IRS website. If you have a spouse you can have extra taken from their check instead of paying quarterly.
Thank you! She can't download the file to sm
use the player from there, right? She needs the actual disk in order for this to work correctly? Sorry for all the questions. I'm just not familiar w/it and didn't find an actual download for the ability to play the files.
