drag it into your open gear player box. You should be able to play the windows media file there, and use your foot pedal.

Will the file play in Windows Media or QT? ..nm

Windows Media Player
Does anyone know if it is possible to use a pedal with the Windows media player? I am doing some test reports and have been unable to use my pedal to start, stop, and rewind. Without the pedal, this will take forever!
It plays in Windows Media but..
I first get a message that it is not a recognized extension.
Try this plug-in for Windows Media Player. sm
It looks like the .dvf file is a Sony recorder file. You don't say why the file needs to be converted to .dss and I'm not even sure that you can because .dss is proprietary to Olympus. Maybe this plug-in will be of some help to you. Let us know.
A foot pedal cannot be used with Windows Media Player

Windows Media Player and Foot Pedal
Does anyone have a simple solution to hooking up a VEC footpedal so that it works with Windows Media Player to stop and start? The VEC hooks into a USB port on the computer and has 3 pedals, rewind, forward, and type.
Just as a note, Windows Media player will NOT work with a footpedal.
Unless there's some voodoo magic out there that I'm not aware of.
Flashdrive question versus Windows Media Player
There are 32 files on this flashdrive. I use a Stop/Start pedal. In using my pedal, I have done all of the files but four. Four of the 32 files show a length of about one hour each, but you cannot hear anything. However, if you open this up in Windows Media Player, you can hear him talking. What do I need to do about this? I can't type using Windows Media without my pedal, and why do you think I can't hear just four of the 32 files with my Start Stop pedal? This is a new thing for me and please pardon my ignorance, but I could really use your advice as soon as possible. You can email me and thank you kindly. Lisa
Hmmm.....I read somewhere about seeing if you can play the files in Windows Media Player....sm
because Media Player downloads proper codec "on-demand" and this is apparently needed to play .wav files in Express Scribe (read this at their website). Can you play any other types of files?
Does anyone know how to adjust the speed of a Windows Media Player for testing purposes? nm Thanks

Can you get the file to your desktop to see if Media Player will play it, just so you know
s
you need to change your properties of those file types to open with ES and not media player. sm
go to your folders by start, explore. find where you saved those files to. once you find a file, right click on it and click on properties. under the general tab, look down 3 lines to where it says open with and i bet it says media player. click change, find the express scribe program. make sure you check that box under there that says always use this program to open this type of file. then you can either right click again, click open with, select express scribe and it will automatically load in ES or you can hit the load button on ES, find where the file is saved, select and it loads it. if this doesn't work, email me.
You don't need to export. Just double-click the glo file in Windows Explorer
nm
don't send them thru ES -- find the actual file thru Windows Explorer on your computer. nm

Are you working in DOS or Windows? In Windows, it's Kilobytes.

Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.

I think it is the same type of file, so rename it and replace your autocorrect file with your DQS us

Help..I lost my word file. How can I retreive a file that has been changed? sm
I was working on a large file and had saved it in Word. I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank. When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you
Depends on the file format of the Short Cuts file.
ShortHand comes with a utility file that can import various formats. You can get that file with the trial download of SH.

...with your user.aco file. Save your autocorrect file to somewhere else. nm

You can save the SH file in a text file and import to IT that way. sm
You may have to do some cleanup in the SH text file, but it sure would be faster than re-entering them all manually.
File taxes under the name on file w Social Security....
Name on W2 doesn't have to match, but your tax return has to match SS records. They don't want your marriage license or anything else. Did that for 13 years as instructed by IRS. Didn't have to change it with SS until state changed rules requiring drivers license to match SS records. Still use my maiden name in some limited circumstances.
XP Media
Might be the fact too that you are using XP Media and not XP Home or XP Pro
Don't believe the news media (sm)
You are so right. Everything is going up but our wages and it's happening all over. It is time for everyone to get their finances in order. We are all going to have to tighten our belts and get our finances in order and get rid of credit cards!

Alert The Media
Do you think you could draw the attention of the media for this cause? Maybe there's a spunky investigative report who would want to get the story out.
Typical media; what do they know.
nm
it is a form of media ...
for healthcare professionals. It has a circulation. It is readily available in schools. All media matters because what is in the media influences the way people think. I think it gives a negative view of us to those who call the shots over us who read it. That's why I think it matters.
Listening to audio again.
You should hear prompts if the C-phone is programmed to allow you the option. "Press
3 to listen...punch in the job number followed by the pound sign." The audio should come back. You need to know what number they used
to program the function and the job number.
and what number they used.
Yes, the net connection comes right up. Get the KVM that allows audio, too, though, so you don't

Full audio QA
If you do this, then they need to pay you QA pay in addition to line count pay.
You listen to the audio with
your mouse. UGH! I have tested and was a CMT in the past, but for many reasons, I did not renew in 2006. Recently, I have been thinking of taking the test again. I have transcribed so many years with that foot pedal that I am really a mess trying to get through an audio file with the mouse and keyboard. How long in minutes would you say an entire audio was? Congratulations! The pay raise you received is a great incentive!
audio rate
I've never been paid this way, but it seems that you would have about 3600 seconds of audio time. I have typed reports that long before (even ESL at that) and it only took me at most 2 hours, so $20 per hour doesn't sound too bad. Maybe you can up 'em to $50, though, just to be sure you're getting what your worth.
audio rates?
thanks. I definitely don't want to be shortchanged. thanks again.
Need help with USB plug, no audio
Just tried a new USB headset and now no audio at all. Did what I was asked to do but noticed under control panel it is not acknowleding the USB, saying SoundMax digital and cannot get the USB to show and also under sounds it says no sounds. I have unplugged several tiems, rebooted several times and have no clue as to how to get sound now. TIA.
Audio Codecs
You have to know which codec was used to compress the file and then you can usually find it and download it. Also, try to play the file in Windows Media Player and it may automatically download the correct codec.
DS2 audio format
Joan, the Bytescribe WavPlayer will play the new Olympus DS2 audio format. If I can help you let me know.
getting good audio
I am finding more and more that companies with their own platforms have pretty substandard audio. I currently use headsets and alternate with my computer speakers, but the audio is quite bad on the current platform I use. When using Editscript I find the quality much better. Any suggestions on how to get better quality of sound perhaps a better headset or some other device.
This is HEARSAY from media and/or Mrs. Twitty.
You all quote media as if it should be written in stone. Obviously not enough credibility to hold this guy in jail for suspicion.
media play dictation
Anyone familiar with this? My doc is dictating via internet. It comes across on my media play and i can hear him but when i switch over to word there is no way to pause him from talking...........
The media will contact the AAMT
The AAMT will say the same old line about there not being enough US MTs. We need a good response for their lie.
Free audio conversion...
It might be a trial thing, and I can't remember but is works extremely well and is an easy step-by-step thing.

Most places pay per audio hour
Unless it is paying $60+ per audio/recorded hour, it is not worth it. I did this for awhile. It is tedious and hard to make a decent wage.
Price per audio hour?
I would like some assistance, please. Is $60/audio hour transcription a fair and standard wage? Never transcribed audio before so that is why I am asking. Thanks very much for your response. K-O-K-O.
Digital Audio Player?
What digital audio player prints a time stamp in Word?
Thanks for your feedback.

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?
Has she downloaded the required audio

rates per audio hour?
does anyone get paid like this? I have been offered a job doing general transcription, approximately 6 hours per week, and they pay $40 per audio hour. I have only ever been paid per line so not sure if this is good or bad. I have listened to some of the dictation already and it is not difficult to understand so that part shouldn't be a problem. Thanks.
Rate per audio minute?
Ok, I've had to do flashdrives with patients on them that have already been typed, lose my nice account to India, re-visit E&O insurance, and now I have someone offering me a job that pays 0.67 cents per audio minute. I'm old, still do tapes, and could any of you new folks tell me, is this the trend these days? Thank you kindly.
