So you get a flash drive with voice files on it you are suppose to transcribe?

In Reply to: I'm getting another flashdrive and guessing who is on it - Lisa
I'm trying to understand. Do you save the transcribed reports on the same jump drive? If that is the protocol, then wouldn't the MT before you typed any reports, then wouldn't they be saved to the flash drive?
If so, then you could open up the flash drive and if there are any Word files or text files, you open those up and see what they are. If they are transcribed reports, write the patient's name down and don't transcribe those notes.
Whatever the case may be, I would absolutely tell the office manager or whoever you are meeting with that you will type everything on the flash drive and that you expect to be paid for everything you type. You gave them freebies the last time and you're in this business to make money.

Flash drive to
copy Word to the other computer. Don't know about the other question!
flash drive
get one, they are worth it. i just got one at target for 14.99. i have seen them as low as 9.99. i type at home for a cardiology practice. i upload all my work onto the flash drive, bring it into their office, download it to their computer. when the doc makes changes on his dictation, they just bring my work up on their computer and do their thing. saves them from calling me, me making the changes, printing it, getting in the car and bringing it to them. it is wonderful. try to get one with a key ring on it, cuz they are just so small, you can lose them easily. once they go under the seat of the car, you never see them again. lol
Flash drive
I have a couple flash drives and drop one off with the completed work and pick up an empty one when I pick up work. Get a flash drive and copy the files on it and give that to them too...good luck!
I used a flash drive to move
all mine a few months ago when I got a new computer. They're only like $15 and worked perfectly.
USB flash drive inquiry....sm
Would someone enlighten me? My teenager came home with a printout for a school project and the teacher wants the projects turned in one one of these keychain things. I have no idea how to do this and if I need to buy anything extra for my PC. How does this work? Do you just plug it into your PC and are able to save data right onto it or are special programs needed? The more I searched on the internet the more I couldn't figure it out. I've already e-mailed the teacher asking that she be allowed to bring the project in on CD as we're pros at that one and I really don't want to spend a dime for some goofy teacher's request...but just in case..... Thank you
How can you find out where the flash drive is....sm
is there a way to know if my PC has this without buying one of the sticks and trying it? Thank you!
Flash Drive Pain
I plug the flash drive in my computer. I select my Start Stop pedal. The list comes up. Is there a "hidden" list in another file, perhaps, where the doctor says all these patients have already been dictated? Now that I've listened to all three flash drives, they are telling me all the patients are on one of them that I had already typed. Is this possible??? Thanks. Pardon my stupidity, I am a tape person, if you can still believe that.
Saving dictations on flash drive??
Hi again, I figured out the settings, and how to recover the files marked done. Question though on saving the actual dictation. My files come through email, I was saving in My Wav files and an Archive File; however, the doc tends to send me a lot of duplicates which the Archive obviously does not like. But, also, since I have had a computer crash on me and lost some things, I am thinking of saving my actual dictations on a flash drive and eliminating the Archive file. How long would you suggest I keep them for? Once typed they go in the Recover folder, how long should I keep those? I found in the help information that we can order foot pedals through Express Scribe and they will be sure that they work with their program, so I ordered one today - figure can't work without a pedal so best have a spare on hand. Anything I might be missing? Tips or ideas in using the program.
Question to using flash drive with Word. sm
I used a temporary copy of Word on another computer, and kept getting a message that unless I registered the product, I could only use it x number of times. Does this also happen using the flash drive? I have Word 2003 on my work computer, and need to put it on my son's for a school course, but am not sure I can keep it there without registering it. I hate to spend $190 for software for a school course. Thanks.
Flash Drive Should Have Worked; Did You Get a Message?
The e-mail thing is a good way to go since your flash drive didn't work. I have all of my glossaries on my flash drive, I don't see why it wouldn't work for you. If your computer has a 3.5 floppy drive, you could always use a disk (my computer does not have one).
The stick thingy is the flash drive (sm)
The stick thing is plugged into a USB port and acts just like any other drive, or CD. You stick it in the USB port, your computer usually recognizes it's there right away. You just click and drag or copy files on to it just like it's another drive. I would hope that the teacher doesn't expect you to buy one just for this assignment, though.
You can use a flash drive like a floppy on steroids...sm
The flash drive is as small or smaller than a pack of gum and plugs into a USB port (which any computer made in the past few years will have).
Windows will automatically recognize the drive once you plug it in, and assign a drive letter to it. This will likely be "E:", "F:" or higher, depending on the configuration of drives in your computer.
You can then use the drive exactly as you would any other drive (for instance, you can view its contents using Windows Explorer, drag-and-drop files to or from it, etc., create subdirectories on it, etc.)...
HOWEVER, for some versions of Windows you should NOT simply unplug the drive when you are finished using it. You have to use a utility running on your taskbar to "stop" the drive before unplugging it.
Flash drives are now large enough in capacity that you can carry an entire operating system on them, along with various applications such as your web browser, Office applications, etc. These can be configured to create a "parasite computer" on any computer you plug it into.
Also, there is now something called the "PhoneDrive", which has its own tiny sound card and a plug for a headset. This drive comes with its own VOIP phone number and will allow you to make phone calls from any computer you plug into that has an Internet connection of its own.
Fascinating devices! Unfortunately, like the Internet itself, they have real utility for terrorists.
Does your computer even recognize the flash drive? sm
It could be that the flash drive was not removed correctly the last time it was used and now the computer doesn't recognize it. A lot of the new flash drives use that annoying U3 program; you have to wait it to load completely before you can use the drive and you also need to use it to eject the flash drive before physically removing it from the computer. Also, make sure you're actually dragging it to the flash drive and not the U3 System, which shows as a separate drive in Windows Explorer (not IE).
Flash drive for backup! Wonderful
They are so cheap and easy to use. Just plug in this tiny thing into a USB port and wallah, click on your SPF dictionary, select send to and click on your external flash drive. I just discovered them, had been using disks to backup which sometimes would not transfer to another computer without reformatting. Don't have to do that with a flash drive.
forgot to mention... yes, flash drive would work

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!!!
Voice Solutions DA-128 transcribe station help
Anyone know how to set the M1, M2, and M3 phone number memory buttons on this? Thanks!
Or put needed files onto laptop. Email them in zip drive

The pedal is what you use to transcribe wav files
but you also need some sort of software. You can download Express Scribe for free and use a USB pedal.
In the ESP window. Click on Files and then Save As. Then you can browse for your A drive. SM
If you're saving to a jump drive, just look for your removable storage device, on my PC it's drive E.
Good Luck!
What does this mean? Dictphone Transnet to get voice and Dictaphone Extext to transcribe in. Thanks
Thanks for the help!
voice files
Yes, mine are emailed too. They are usually .dvf or .wav files.. Call GearPlayer from that website I posted and ask if this is compatible for you. If so then purchase it and call them back to be walked through downloading to your computer (I download to a folder named "Work to be Typed" by "Saving Target As." )
Voice Files
I tried that. They won't drag into the box.
Voice Files
That worked. Thanks so much!
This is a very basic computer skill/concept. You copy files to another drive using Explorer.
There are very detailed instructions in the Help files that accompany Windows. You can read those for more information.
Basically, you open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer). Locate the files you want to copy, highlight and right mouse click. Choose Copy. Now, find the location where you want to copy these files (usually another drive like D: or H:, whereever the flash/jump/thumb drive is located) and paste the files there.
voice files query...
Good day everybody...I am on a rush and interested on buying a set of classified voice files, all body system for practice transcription but I can not find sites where to buy them. I will appreciate it a lot if somebody could give me at least an idea where to find the complete set of course on a cheaper price. Thanks very much.
Why would you e-mail voice files to yourself. You'd have to have them
on your computer to do that and if you have that why e-mail them. Unless you have encrpyted e-mail it would be a big no no as far as HIPAA.
PDA use for voice files over internet?
A chiropractor called me today to see if I could transcribe his reports using a PDA with voice files over the internet. I told him that I am sure I could accommodate him but that I was unfamiliar with that process and would have get back to him within the week, yet now I am at a loss at what to do. What program do I use? Can it work along with my microcassette transcriber/pedals, which I use for other chiropractors and PT’s. I
If anyone is familiar or can point me in the right direction, I would be forever grateful.
TIA~
Need help with static in voice files
Please help!!!
I am given .wav files, through a VPN connection, from a hospital that uses DVI/Fusion. I have an enormous amount of static on the files and it seems that no matter what I do, nothing helps. I have even been able to let the gal at the hospital listen over the phone to what I am dealing with and she says that her files sound nothing like what I am getting. I am assuming it has something to do with Fusion and I have called Dolbey numerous times to try to get them to help to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
FYI: I have tried playing the files through 4 different software programs and always get the same static.
Thanks much for trying!
Trying to load voice files, anyone?
Wanting to go to work for a new company. What I am getting is - voice files failed to load- object does not support this method.
I would like to know- has anyone experienced something similar and if so any suggestions? Thought maybe too much on my computer or ?? Thanks so much.
converting voice files
Thanks for the input. I will definetely look that up on the net. I just hope it does the same thing for my voice files as it did for your MP3 files.
Voice files & access to VPN sm
I use a DVI system for the voice files and connect to a VPN to transcribe, and I am using just the mobile broadband connection. I applied to a couple of companies that said the connection would not be compatible, although I'm not sure why. My main issue is that I need to get a unidirectional antenna put up as my omnidirectional one tends to get fluctuating signals. As far as usage, I haven't really tracked work only or surfing only, but I would estimate no more than 1.5-2 GB of usage per month is strictly work-related. If anyone wants the name of the company I went through for my equipment, it is 3gstore.com. Excellent customer service, even if all you do is ask a question and not buy anything. They even answered some tech questions for me a couple of weeks ago, more than a year after I bought my stuff.
Best way to send voice files
I need to get some help. What is the best way to send voice files to other MTs, and then they send me their completed reports? I am relatively computer dumb and need some advice and help. What is the most secure, economical way? I notice that Express Scribe/Dictate has FTP...but actually all that stuff confuse me...
Can anyone explain it to me in really simple language? I know all the big medical terms but computer stuff just terrifies me but I have to get some help....
Overwhelmed NY MT
for voice files on computer, try plugging
your headset directly into the computer where the speakers normally go and see if that helps. Also, you can get a volume amplifier for this. It sure helped me.
Have you considered editing voice rec files?
Fewer Keystrokes and easier on your hands. Might be a way to stay in the field.
If you already have Bytescribe, he can email the voice files to you now.
Bytescribe plays dss files. very easy to do!. good luck.
The doctors email me the voice files
Do you know if gear player will work with dss voice files that are emailed to me? thanks
Will you be accessing the voice files via a Cphone, too?

Can I d/l voice files from Filezilla to my Cdrive?

how do the docs send the voice files to you
do they use a dropbox and then drag the files to it from a file on their pc or something like that. Our docs use Olympus recorders and now when they are done recording they just put their recorders in docking station and somehow the files are emailed directly to us, so am wondering how they would do it using this filesanywhere?? They do not like too many extra steps of course!
Need Testing Help - Downloading Voice Files
I am taking a transcription test and I have downloaded the voice files on my desktop. I am trying to drag them into Express Scribe but it isn't working. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks!
Does anyone have any voice files they could share for testing purposes?
Have a Lanier VW system which pulls voice files
can pull your voice directly from the hospital side so you can send via FTP directly to your MT's. The files are converted to play using Express Scribe or any player which can play typical .wav files.
If you deal with seperate dempgraphic files I can help also. Thanks
My digital voice player converts files to be --sm
able to be played. it sounds like your voice player does not. Maybe either you or she needs to save the file as a wav file first, prior to playing. either that, or try downloading the express scribe player, which is free, and try to play it with that. If that plays, then it is your voice player which is not compatible with the files she is sending you. good luck.
Express Scribe and receiving the voice files...
I have been using Express Scribe to transcribe notes from voice files that are sent to my AOL mailbox. I was told that AOL mailboxes will only allow smaller sized voice files and that they will not accept larger files. Does anyone have information regarding this matter? Is there a better server I should change to so I can receive the larger voice files?
I was also wondering if I should instead use one of those MT platforms where the doc’s email to that specific platform and the MT picks them up there. For the life of me, I cannot recall the name of that site. If anyone knows of the site, can you please let me know.
All advice appreciated, thank you.
dont buy vista - certain voice files do not play

Looking for Software to Organize Digital Voice Files
Anyone know of good software that can take my digital voice files and organize them so I can keep track of which worker is working on which doctor, keep an eye on turnaround time, etc. -- instead of making endless folders on the computer myself. Voice files are separate from the typed reports, which are done in Word. Thank you.

Running Voice Files Through Speech Recognition. SM
Does anyone run their voice files (DSS and WMA) through a speech recognition program and then edit them? Just wondering if that is any faster than actually typing it myself. The doctor is a very clear dictator, so I'm wondering if the speech recognition would pick it up okay -- but wouldn't be able to teach the software to recognize her voice the way the instructions say to.
Also, does anyone using speech recognition listen to the dictation and then redictate it into speech recognition software themselves? I would be able to train the software to recognize my voice then.
Just trying to think of a few ways to increase my productivity and save my wrists at the same time. Thanks for any suggestions and comments.
Christina, I would not send voice files unless they legally
belong to you and are in your voice. It is against HIPAA regulations to share medical files. If the hospital or physician or company finds out, you would be held accountable if a patient's private information is given out to another party.
