It sounds like your settings are off for the type of files sm

In Reply to: help with sound problem please - debbb
you are playing. Have you played with the special audio processes under the file tab? Check your playback tab settings, the sound device, check your vox/raw settings. What type files are they? You could also check and make sure your default sound didn't get changed to something like that. Sounds like maybe an equalizer on. I have an equalizer and can select it to sound that way. Did you rule out the headphones? Lastly, if none of the above work, can you do a restore on your computer to before you downloaded the new test files and see if that fixes it?

not the OP, but i wanted to know the answer too. I don't have that question in settings/files.

I would not; most of the time those type files, although not usually hard medical terms, take lots l
to type and are very difficult as it is hard to hear with background noise, different speakers, usually no macros, etc. I think they are worth more pay, not less. I also get paid by the word at 0.008 and had figured mine to be about 0.09/line as well in the past. stick with where you are.
I currently type for a doctor who dictates with a digital handheld and sends the files via e-mail fo
and wanted to be able to call me with his dictations. What would be the best and cheapest way for me to go so that he can do his dictations without the handheld unit?? I don't want to invest in a lot because he does not forget very often. This is the first time in three months. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
It sounds like you got some type of virus or.sm
some type of malware/trojan. happened to me and I fixed it, with a LOT of headache by starting my computer in safe mode.
She sounds like the type to go off on a tangent and fire you
over her own overcommitments. I'd tell her that you agreed to work M-F whatever hours and that anything else was "extra". You are not being paid "extra" and you don't appreciate the fact that she think's it's your fault she overextended herself. You did not promise to do extra work, you helped her out as a favor. Now she's being ungrateful about it.
Urgh. That's why I never liked working for the small MTSOs. No matter how much you do for them, they never pay you extra, they blame you for everything, they're always overstressed and curt toward people, and they never have anything nice to say. They expect you to be available 24/7 and they forget that they are the ones running the business, not us. It's so easy to blame someone else for your own responsibilities. It's so easy to dump all your garbage dictators and problems on someone else, then blame them for everything that goes wrong. Never an appreciative word or extra pay for overtime, evenings, weekends. Then they wonder why none of us want to work those shifts.

Increase or decrease the steps in Rewind.
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!!!
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.
Most companies do no use their only files (HIPAA). They use files provided by other companies, serv
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.
don't type double spaces. Type single. Then no one will be cheated.

I can type with wine, can't type with coffee, though...too jittery.

That is, type the code above before and after what you want bolded in the text-to-type box. nm

I am using Express Scribe, and I tried the settings and that didn't help. Thank you!

Yes, I am afraid I did all of that. It keeps coming back and saying that it is not a supported file. Thank you very much for helping!
Under settings. sm
Click Playback tab. For Rewind, I have set mine to 500 and Speed at 150.
Try the Settings.
Under playback tab you can change the rewind. Mine is set at Step (ms) 500 and Speed (%) 150.
Go into Settings.
On the Control tab use the footpedal setup wizard to set what part of the pedal does what. On the Playback tab, you can change the backspace. On the
Have You Tried the Settings?
I haven't used Express Scribe since school, but have you changed the settings? I had to change it to change the settings for what food petal I was using. The one I chose was V-something (VEC? VRC?) 3-pedal, I can't remember.
It may have to do with your settings sm
under File, preferences. Make sure you don't have verify target window checked. Also, may be the pause....after so many keytstrokes. Play around with that one. Every body is different but what works for me is pause 5 msec after 1000 keystrokes.
Also, try waiting for the expansion to appear before you type the word after it.
And below, make sure you have simulate Keystrokes checked.
Settings....
On Exp Scribe, click on settings,file type, and if you don't what type of file, just check them all. Then give it a try and see what happens.
Did you try the settings on the
monitor itself. Mine has buttons to push to change the screen size and my old one had a dial. That's about as much as help as I can give.
Did you check all your settings and especially....
your password in OE? If so, is the Spamgard on in Yahoo so that it is keeping from going to your OE?

I DID go into the settings and *told* it what to --sm
count. It was still very inconsistent and would not count headers, even though I *told* it to. I would count lines with it and then recount with Sylcount and Abacus was always fewer lines. This was just MY experience with it and I don't need to be made to sound like I am not familiar enough with these programs to not do the *settings* correctly. thank you.
it depends on the settings
I worked before for gross lines, but it depends on the margins and the font setup. I had one account that was Ariel 12 and the other was only a font of 10. With the 12 font I got more lines credited as opposed to the 10 font. Working at 9 cpl without spaces actually evens out to about the same as the lesser amount with spaces. You can download Abacus and then take a document you have typed and have it count it without spaces and with gross lines and then see the difference, it's really not that much.
click settings then...sm
under Playback tab, adjust the Auto Backstep on Stop (0-5000ms). 1000ms = 1 second.
Go to settings, then file and
it gives you a spot to put the number of days to delete files.
Control-settings....
Thanks so much - still having problems. Got the wizard to work on a couple of ports, but only to the push rewind pedal - then will do nothing - locks up and goes crazy with buttons on Express Scribe flashing continuously...any ideas?
Will do both, but how do I get those settings back?
TIA
Mine won't let me do that. Wonder if it could have to do with the settings? nm

Changing settings
You can change the settings. With your mouse on the main desk top screen, right click and go downto properties. Go over to the settings tab and this will give you options for changing the font size. You can change it in that setting by changing the pixel settings, or you can click on the Advanced button and change your DPI setting (or both).
Hope that helps.
I believe if you go into your settings while booting up. SM
On my PC if you push F2 or F8 during the boot up process it will take to your configuration settings. There will be an option that will be able to clear the password so that you will not be asked for a password anymore.
Yes, I had looked at settings, but I don't see how
to do that. My screen is stretched now, and maybe I'm looking at the wrong place. I dunno....I'm seriously challenged when it comes to this stuff....thanks for replying
Playback Settings for ES
Hello. You can go to the Playback Settings in ES and find the Auto Backstep on Stop heading. Mine is set to 1780 that allows for a reasonable auto backstep. You can adjust to your liking. Once you do that, go to "Control" and run the Footpedal Setup Wizard. That should do it! Best of luck.
Daytime 70, nighttime 65 for my AC settings. nm
..
In the settings, click the Incoming tab...
and then you can select file(s) for Express Scribe to scan. Then it will scan those and will load files automatically.
Did you try the Settings in Express Scribe?
The pedal controls won't work until you open Express Scribe, go to Settings/Settings.../Control, and select VEC Pedals USB or something like that; 3-pedals. Then, you click on "Foot Pedal Control Setup Wizard" and it will have you to press rewind, fast forward, and play. After that, the pedal *should* work.
I received ByteScribe with my USB foot pedal but I didn't like it so I uninstalled it and downloaded Express Scribe with no additional software.
If that doesn't work, I really don't know what to tell you. Sorry  .

I could see much better but the settings slowed down my computer..sm..
I didn't have any trouble getting it back though. Hope you find something that works.
I didn't like what settings I chose (sm)
using Tonks directions so I tried changing back to the original settings and had a bit of trouble regaining them. Just a heads up for anyone wanting to try changing your settings using the wizard. You might create a system restore point before you make any changes so you can easily restore your old settings if need be.
Click on Settings and it is under the Playback tab.

You would have to change the margin settings.
Under Styles, find the List Number and change the hanging indent setting. This will then apply to all documents based on that template.
EMDAT pedal settings
*silent screaming* Is there any way to change how far back the voice file goes back when you take your foot off the pedal? I disabled the pause/play option because I went it to rewide a second or two but not the 10 it is currently doing. This system is a pain. I'm hoping it grows on me!

Go to options - date/time and is there. 
Express Scribe settings
Try going under settings, files, and select .dss I have been using ES for 4 years and there are always quirks... not sure how I get the solution each time. Hope this works.
