Anyone know if a pedal with Dictaphone adapter will work with ExpressScribe?
Thanks !!!
I think it's Dictaphone ExText
Someone on here said that once. Check the archives.
Dictaphone EXText
Anyone out there know Dictaphone EXText? You need two phone lines, this is a dial-up account with a toll-free number. E-Mail me and I can give you all the details. Great paying account.
Thanks!
Dictaphone EXText
I agree 100%. Extremely user friendly. Great system.
Dictaphone ExText
I have worked on Dictaphone and the only way I could get a job back was to ask my team lead to reassign it back to me. The only person who can get all jobs is a QA person, with the job lister, which downloads all of the jobs that have gone to QA or to the client.
ExTExt by dictaphone
Anyone have any experience with ExText platform...how did you like it..and if you know, how does it compare to DocQscribe?
When using Dictaphone ExText do you have
to be connected to the internet the entire time? I googled it and didn't find anything that really detailed how it works. I've been offered a position with a company using this (I tested for them months ago and they had position using C-phone and I wasn't interested and now they have offered this one via e-mail and I haven't talked with them to ask details). I travel quite a bit and I don't want to be tied to a situation where I have to be on-line my entire work time.
Dictaphone EXText
Can someone tell me about Dictaphone EXText. Do you like it?
Dictaphone/Extext
When you have Dictaphone/Extext open, you should also have another window open (maybe in the background) called Transet player. On the transnet player box there is a tab called "more" this will give you the spot to change the speed.
Dictaphone ExText with Smartype?
Do any of you using Dictaphone ExText use Stedman's Smartype as your Expander instead of the expander that comes with ExText? It should work because it uses Word but I am not having any luck.
Which companies are using Dictaphone ExText?
Who is using this platform, and can you tell me if it supports third-party expanders, i.e., Smartype specifically?
Thanks.
I have a question about Dictaphone ExText
I have emailed this question several times to my supe and haven't gotten an answer, so I'm hoping someone here may know.
On Dictaphone ExText how do you go back and re-listen to a dictation after a document has already been submitted to QA?
I can pull up the document and look at it all I want, but I don't know how to get the voice file so I can listen to the dictation. I know there has to be a way to do this because it was suggested that we do this once a document goes through QA so we can see/hear what the error was. I'll keep trying to get an answer from my supe, but I was just wondering if anyone here might know?
TIA!
Dictaphone Extext & Smarttype
Does anyone use Stedmans Smartype in conjunction with Dictaphone Extext/Word Client? If so, how do you disable the cc (shortcuts) in Extext? I am using Word 2000 so I know Smartype works with that but not sure about using in with Extext/Word Client.
Does anyone have a pdf format for dictaphone EXText
I am starting with a new company and need the user manual for Dictaphone ExText and cannot find a download for it anywhere......does any body have one that you would be willing to email to a fellow MT. I would really appreciate that or any links where I can find one.
Dictaphone's ExText, so far. Love it! nm

Dictaphone ExText system
Any comments? Easy to work with, hard?
Dictaphone Extext manual
I was just wondering if anybody can tell me where to find a manual for Extext? I did a Google search but could not find anything. I do not need the whole manual, but I would like to know some of the shortcuts of using the program.
TIA! 
Dictaphone extext transnet
I use dictaphone Extext transnet and yes I had to get a dictaphone foot pedal to work. The company thought any pedal would work but Dictaphone said no it has to be dictaphone pedal.
Good luck!
Dictaphone EXText Speech
Are there any MT companies doing Dictaphone EXText Speech.
Dictaphone EXText Speech
Thanks. Appreciate your reply. I guess not too many companies use this, as I have not received any other replies.
My company uses Dictaphone and ExText and I have..
never had a problem. I use the laptop pretty much all the time. Best Buy has a business computer section that you can order a laptop from. They are much less expensive than the floor models and all the bells and whistles and a lot come with XP, not Vista.
Dictaphone extext question
Can someone please tell me how I get the little box to open that allows me to speed up or slow down the dictation? Sometimes it opens automatically and sometimes it does not. How do I make it open when it does not appear automatically?
It is the ESP Expander with Dictaphone ExText--If you can believe it, it won't allow caps if you
Yes, that's right, Dictaphone's Expander that comes with ExtText won't allow anything that you use as an expansion come into the document capitalized.
So, when you type your abbreviation for ANY WORD you have in ESP, it will NEVER be capitalized, unless like in, say, 1925, you type the Shift key with it.
I hate this profession. I hate all these programs. THey NEVER take into account the MT. Cars following voice instructions? No problem. MP3 player that respond to your voice? No problem. Get Word to do simple things that it should do, like cap after periods, God, too much trouble. Let the "little girls," just deal with all the software problems day after day. Dictaphone--what a laugh. I worked on ExtText FIVE YEARS AGO-- ANd it still has the SAME fricking clumbsy program? Also, you have to do "Shift ?" to find informaion in fields. LIke give me a break. Give us a key to hit, like, I don't know, Search, that't be good. No, make us type Shift ?. Where do these people get off. Do they ever even type on these programs? Or talk to the people who use them.
MT is so antiquated when it comes to programming, it is a big joke. Anyone work for a company that gets the demographics and has fast, easy programming, let me know. TX
dictaphone extext is there a way to sign off a dictation
without having to create a document on the Dictaphone system. A doctor dictated a letter that has no demographics. How can I bypass their system and type in my own document? All answers much appreciated
Instant Text and Dictaphone's ExText
No problem. You can use Instant Text with Dictaphone's ExText and ExSpeech platform.
You can also import any esp file that you have built in Dictaphone's platform and you can use your list in Instant Text.
If you have any questions you can always call Textware Solutions at 1 800 355 5251

Love Dictaphone's ExText here, even with its occasional glitches. nm

Dictaphone also makes it's own little fan-shaped pedal to be used with ExText/

Dictaphone EXText Word Client question.
I've been working along and all of sudden I noticed my trans status window is gone. It's the little window that shows your downloaded jobs waiting to be transcribed/edited. How do I get the box back without logging out and logging back in? I'm not sure where it went or how I closed it, but I must have inadvertently clicked something.
Thanks!
Does anyone know if there's a free Dictaphone ExText instruction manual online somewhere? nm

What does this mean? Dictphone Transnet to get voice and Dictaphone Extext to transcribe in. Thanks
Thanks for the help!
How can I install my Dictaphone EXText shorthands in basic word?
Is that possible? If so how do you do it. I know what my ShortHand file is named and where it is saved. I am using basic word a lot and don't want to put everything in under autocorrect by hand. Thanks for your time!
Part-time work using Extext/word client/dictaphone
Anyone know any companies that are hiring that use this system? I really want to start part-time and then probably commit to full time later. I really want a company that supplies your equipment! Thanks.
Question for mini-laptop users. Are you able to use Dictaphone Extext program
on one of these. I noticed a lot of them do have Windows XP Home Edition but only like Microsoft Works for the word processing. I guess my question is are you able to down Dictaphone or does it have to have a Word processin program in order to download it.
It's Dictaphone's ExText and it's good/easy, but some feel the line counts are skewed at

Lanier is a type of dictaphone, but when speaking of a C-phone, it's meant as the Dictaphone Con

ExpressScribe
I too had a problem months ago and it froze up. I spoke to the company. They said it was because I had too many other programs running and using too much RAM, that it did not leave enuf for EXS. to work properly. They even suggested adding more RAM. They said EXS requires a certain amount of RAM, etc., to function appropriately. Could this be part of your problem too?
ExpressScribe
Yes, I have been using it for almost a year now and have never had any problems.
ExpressScribe
I had this problem just after Christmas when I got a new computer and downloaded ExpressScribe. After searching through their forums, I found out that a lot of people were having a problem, there was some glitch in the program, and everyone was going back and downloading the previous version, which resolved the problem. This worked for me as well. Good luck.
Anything other than ExpressScribe?
Am I the only one that doesn't like ExpressScribe? The audio always sounds very digitized to me. Are there any other better programs out there?
ExpressScribe
Hi. Just an opinion, but why don't you try ExpressScribe first and see if that meets your needs? It is free and it is as good, as far as I can tell. You may have to buy a foot pedal that will work with it, or may not. Mine does not. Try the keyboard controls though and see what you think.
An ExpressScribe Question
How do you set the backspace when I lift my foot off the pedal? Mine is not backspacing at all and I can't' figure out how to set it. Thanks.
contact expressscribe..sm
a lot of these programs were not ready for Vista yet. I would have waited at least a year before buying Vista due to just that reason. Personally maybe you should have found out of ExpressScribe was compatible with Vista prior to buying the laptop with it preinstalled. It would have saved a lot of hassle.
You might try downloading ExpressScribe.
I think it has a few test files when you first down load it that you could practice on.
expressScribe/Quicktime sm
I downloaded ExpressScribe for work but I also have QuickTime so I can use ITunes. The QuickTime seems to over-ride the ExpressScribe and play the audio files which are dictation. I want to use the ExpressScribe so I can use my foot pedal. When I uninstall QuickTime ExpressScribe works, when I reinstall QuickTime only QuickTime works. So QuickTime must be set to default or something.
Anybody know how I can get both these to work or is there another player that will work with the USB footpedal to play the dictations but still allow QuickTime on the computer for other stuff?
Thanks
ExpressScribe hot keys
If you open the ExpressScribe and go to control, then hot key set up you can make it work by assigning keys. I work in MS Word and was using F5 to open files, but when I have the ExpressScribe reduced and hit F5 it opens the ExpressScribe window instead of my Word file. I just assigned a different key to open and close the ExpressScribe. You can also create a new one to assign a file to "done" so you don't have to use your mouse.
ExpressScribe question...sm
I am taking a test for a part time job. It is required to download ExpressScribe to take the test. I also had to install some additional files so that ExpressScibe would recognize .sri files. I did this also. Well when I go to play the file on there there is nothing, and it says under duration of file: 00:00 minutes. It is like the file has nothing on it. Did I do something wrong or is that file corrupated or what?
ExpressScribe is locking up my
Has anyone had this happened to you lately? I have been Express Scribe for years and never had any issues with it. About 2 or 3 weeks ago ES started making my computer run really really really slow. I checked the Task Manager and it says that ES is making my computer run at 100%. Why is this? If I close ES everything runs fine. I contactd tech support 3 times but they have never gotten back to me. I even uninstalled it and reinstalled it and that didn't work either. What should I do? Are there other free transcription audio players out there?
Thanks so much in advance
You can download ExpressScribe for free.
Do a Google search for the URL. You can use your keyboard to control the dictation to do testing.
ExpressScribe and audio files
Thanks for your reply. I have used ExpressScribe before, but my predicament is that I need something that will play dictation that has been burned onto a CD. My CD-RW drive is drive D, and I do not know how to get ExpressScribe to load the dictation that is in that drive. Can anyone help?
ExpressScribe - how do I delete files?
How do I delete old audio files from ExpressScribe? These are the ones that I can go and recover if I've deleted from my main screen but they are still backed up. I've got a ton and don't need to keep any of them - they are just taking up memory space. Anyone know?
How to get ExpressScribe to pick up FTP files???
Everytime I click on the file to play it pulls up window media player and it gives me an error. How do I get Express Scribe to play the files?
