Playback Software

Getting my terms straight here   I did my research and the software used to 'play' the dictation is called Professional Digital Transcription Playback Software -  DTPS.

The few I've worked with always have that annoying feature where you can't modify the voice speed.  Are they all like that?

I'm just wondering what the PDTPS is like at a company I've applied for.  BTW - I made up that abbreviation - may not be accurate!

Right now I'm on C-phone. I'm okay with a C-phone.  I'm not real keen on the sound quality experience I've had with playback software.  Can you not slow them down?

Thanks for letting me pick your brain!!!

The term "WAV pedal" has become a generic term. The software that you use will determine the file type(s) that you are able to play on your computer. You use either a pedal or hot keys (Fkeys) to control that playback. As stated below, Express Scribe is one such software program and it is free. It can be found by clicking on the link below.

After you record your sound file in the sound recorder program, you might want to download Express Scribe as it can play back the .wav file using hand controls on your keyboard.  It uses the function keys, but if you like you can change the keys to anything you like.  The sound recorder can be used to play back but is a bit cumbersome. 

So, my suggestion would be to re-record using sound recorder and play back using Express Scribe which is free to download from the web.  And if you are alone when you transcribe you won't even need a headphone, just play it through your computer speakers. 

The web address for Express Scribe is www.nch.com.au/scribe

why pay for anything, right?

Except that is AGAINST THE LAW!!!

Over the past months I have been trying to convince superiors at MQ of the need to have the playback speed increased even more than we are able to at the present.  I proofread all reports and when you have a slow dictator, it can take forever.  If you agree, please make a post and maybe that will convince them to do something about it.

When using Escription how do I get the playback to rewind 2-3 seconds when I release the foot pedal?  So when I stop and restart it will replay a few word rather than starting out exactly from where I released the pedal? 

I'm hoping this makes sense.

Just switched to a new computer and put Express Scribe on it and got my foot pedal up and running and just sat down to do some work when I noticed the foot pedal play back is weird.  The timing is okay but when I let my foot up it does not stop until I press it again and then I have to give it another tap to begin playing again.  I am used to letting up and it stops and pushing down and it plays! Simple stuff... until now.

Has anyone had this?  I am getting really frustrated.. may have to contact Express Scribe with this issue but wanted to see if anyone has downloaded the current version of Express Scribe and came across this.  Thanks!

Sorry to repeat this post, but was hoping for a better response, so have moved it to the top again.

I have been out of the loop lately.  What is this new software?  I am currently looking for a medical transcription job and need a little catching up, obviously.  I would REALLY appreciate a reply on this issue. 

I have used both Quick Books and Quicken and prefer Quick Books for invoicing, etc.  I have two checking accounts, personal and business of course, and pay my business bills through there -- even by subs and that downloads into Quick Books which can be downloaded into my Turbo Tax.   Also on my personal side that gives me my utilities payout total also and I can then just deduct my 20 to 25% of them for my taxes.   Works for me. 

aside from the fact that it's probably true..!!  hehe.

if anyone wants info a a terrific a/v proggie, please off-list (e-mail) me, and i will send the link.

Could you let me know what system you are using and if you like it?  For example, Vianeta, MD Intouch, Dictran.  I am trying to find a good system for my company and would appreciate your input.

Thanks

Save Keystrokes and get paid more $$. These abbreviation typing programs expand an abbreviation macro typed into the keyboard and produce the expanded words or paragraphs they represent into your document automatically to greatly increase your typing speed. We offer Instant Text, Shortcut and Abbreviate. 

you already do this with your autocorrect and autotexts or quickwords in WP, but this software allows you to port all your entries over to any transcription software that is "compatible" with whatever Expander you are using WITHOUT HAVING TO RETYPE THEM ALL AGAIN.  It can be pretty extensive and a time saver. 

find Vista doesn't work for you.  I think the software runs around $150, though. 

I work on DocQScribe and was told that it would work on Vista, but there are a few bugs still that need worked out.  I think that's probably the general consensus.  It will probably work but have a few glitches.
