How can I convert files???
I received some test files that are ofc. format. I have Olympus player. I also have Switch and can convert files over, but there is no ofc. format to convert from. Is there some way to do this with another program. My pedal for Olympus is not playing the file in ofc. format. Thanks for your help.
USB port. Is there a way to convert the files?
I just do them as they come in. I must have 20 different ways to download audio files on my computer, but I don't know how to convert audio files from one program to another
Heck, I have to ask my 11-year-old to get the DVD player to work.
Getting ooooold I guess. I'm like my parents who used to put a piece of black electrical tape over the flashing clock on the VCR because they didn't know how to reset it until the 7-year-old granddaughter came over and fixed it for them. 
I use Switch to convert the files. sm
I prefer using my player, so I convert them to .wav. You can download a free trial fom http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html I think to purchase is around $12.

Crazy question... does Express Scribe actually convert audio to text? Sounds too good to be true..
It does state this on their web site. I was curious if anyone has used this option, and if so, does it really work?
Thanks again~

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.
SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Shorthand is lots cheaper and also has a trial.
.
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
Shorthand and SpeedType are exact same program. Shorthand will cost you lots less.
you can import your autocorrect into Shorthand.
I took shorthand too. But it sure comes in helpful for my expanders. I view words in shorthand for

So it sounds like you want to convert your taped files to dss or wave files so that you can put them on an FTP site for other to download correct?

I did a search and this is what i came up with. There is an Olympus DDS player software that will convert your tapes into dss files. I would also just trying a search of converting tapes to dss or wav files. There are plenty of option that come up and some are free.

Thanks for the help!
can always convert to .wav
DSS is very compressed & great for transmitting, but there are freebie conversion tools out there, too. Any standard player (GearPlayer, etc.) will play .wav files. You don't need a special foot pedal.
How to Convert DSS to WAV?
Hi,
Does anyone know how to convert a DSS file to a WAV file?
I have the WAVPedal player and software. I also have an OratorPro call in system.
Thanks,

If you have the DSS player program (usually comes with the recorders) it will convert the file for you.
They won't convert either..........

If it is Shorthand, save the SPF file to a disk, then if you buy Shorthand yourself....
you can just drop the SPF file into it. That is not dishonest since you are the one who put the macros in. I am sure is it is another Expander there is a way to save the macro file and then drop it in the expander you buy on your own.
Any idea how to convert
bytes into lines? On one of my accounts, I get paid by the byte and transcribe in WordPerfect. I am trying to figure what that converts to as cpl. Any ideas on how I would go about doing that?
Better yet, convert the file to .wav
I believe you can right click on the .dss file and convert it to .wav and then it will probably play fine in ES. However, you cannot convert the file back to .dss, so you might not want to delete it until you are absolutely sure you are through with it.
Let me know if this works... I don't have any .dss files to try it on right now.
not the NCH program to convert
I meant to convert from inside the Olympus Transcription Module. You can right click on the file and click 'convert to .wav' for individual files, or for every file all the time, under Tools_- Options_- Download, my version (probably an old one, 2.5.0) has an option to convert to .wav as the file is downloaded. Again, let me know if this works (of if you even try it; you may find something easier).
Did you convert your SH glossary to IT? sm
I think you can do that. If you can, that means you already know your shortcuts. Also, IT has some extra glossaries that may be making it more difficult for you. Please email me if you need some help on this and I'll try to help you. IT is not what I use on a regular basis, but it has been.

You CAN use IT with that program OR you can maybe convert your IT glossaries sm
into an autocorrect format and load that into your Exttext autocorrect.
I use both AC and IT simultaneous and that works much better than just EXTtext.
It's easy to convert as long as the
expander programs use the same type of file, i.e., spf.
All you have to do is save the file to a flash drive and and open both programs at the same time and drag the files over.
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.

Sometimes it helps to convert the sound file - sm
I notice that when I play straight DSS files my Bytescribe will not restart at the beginning after I reach the end, but rewind 2 seconds or so and keep replaying the end; but if I convert them to .wav files (which I do by "opening" them with another .wav player called "PowerPlayer"--downloaded the free trial and just use it for this) then I do not have this problem, it will just restart at the beginning after I reach the end. So that may be affecting it, or a setting is off, or there is corruption of the file or player maybe. Lots of possibilities.
