if you determined you do have a sound card, uninstall express scribe and reinstall. sm
i have had some computer issues recently and it seemed there were some quirks with downloading it. i had to reinstall to get mine functioning although i wasn't getting the exact same response as you, but issues. i would also update your drivers if you do have a sound card before buying another one. right click my computer icon, hit properties, hardware tab, device manager, look under sound, video, and game controllers and you will see a sound card there if you have one. also notice if there are any yellow triangles or anything as those signal a conflict. email me if you need to.
How Do I Know if My Computer Has a SoundBlaster Compatible Sound Card?
I am new to this site, and I love it already! It will definitely come in handy for starting up with my MT job again.... Its been about a year.
Just had a question for those of you that might be more computer savvy than I... which isn't hard.  For my new MT job, I need my computer to have a SoundBlaster Compatible Sound Card.
Say what?! 
I have no idea how to know if my computer has this already or if I need to purchase it. I don't wanna sound completely dumb before even starting the job fully by asking this question of them.... eek!
Plz help! Thanks!
NEED RECOMMENDATIONS on foot pedal compatible w/Express Scribe (sm)
I realize they sell them on the Express Scribe website, but I was just wondering if anyone found any that were cheaper, worked well, and were still compatible with Express Scribe. TIA!
once you use Express scribe to program it should work with any USB compatible software too.

Sound quality is 10x better than Express Scribe...sm
The settings are not as complicated either.
There are no preloaded files. You download your own files. I transcribed actual voice files using the trial version.
I have no problem with the sound quality using Express Scribe.
There is a new version of ES available for download and you can improve files with their special audio processes. Bytescribe wave player is expensive (compared to free with Express Scribe) and ES is more versatile, IMO, having used both. ES will play a wide variety of file types, including .dss.
Express Scribe is GREAT for downloading sound files for testing for different companies!
Express Scribe Transcription Playback Software
This software works as a transcriber that downloads into your computer and allows you to receive files and use your footpedal. I have used it a lot when applying for jobs and testing, especially because I can then use my footpedal and not my keyboard to advance the sound files. This is a free download too, so use it if you have to. I highly recommend it.....
This is the link for the site to download it for free -

Has anyone disconnected the internal sound card and replace with another sound card?
I am having problems with my sound on one of my computers. Several different ExText program have been on it so I don't think it is the program and the sound is just now as clear as on my other computer. Has anyone switched (disconnected the internal sound care and replaced) to a new sound card? Did it make a difference.
Everyone on this board is so knowledgeable, I really appreciate you. You have helped me many times.
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~
If you have an American Express card...
You can get incredible prices on rental cars through AMEX's travel site.
If you have a sound card..(sm)
you should have excellent quality. If the sound card is within your computer, you should hook the ear phones directly up to the computer. If not, you can install an external sound card and plug your ear phones into that. I have the external and have absolutely wonderful sound quality. On my lap tap I have an internal sound card and, again, have wonderful sound quality. I have speakers, but don't use them. If I unplug my ear phones, the speakers work, but I honestly can't say the last time I did that. I always use my ear phones.
My cat just stepped on my keyboard...Now I have two of them sitting right in front of me. Lovely, I guess they want my attention.
My daughter made it to the state tournament for softball All-Stars and we are headed up to the high country in the cool 80s. We will be out of this 115 degree weather for a week. Yippeee! That is something I love about Arizona. You just have a couple-hour drive and you are up in the cool mountain air.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
sound card
Thanks so much - great ideas!
it depends upon what the sound card will be used for
If it's extremely important (i.e. speech recognition), go for the SoundBlaster Audigy. It sells for about $129. Otherwise, the plain old SoundBlaster is a good bet.
Adjust sound card sm
You need to go to control panel, select sounds and devices, then select the audio tab, then the advanced tab, and finally the speakers tab. Change setting under "speaker setup" to stereo headphones, then you should hear in both ears with your headphones.
GET A GOOD SOUND CARD.
I was having problems understanding certain doctors. I changed the sound card in my computer and what a difference that made. It spend around 70.00 to do this but my production line count went up and my errors went down. Also, invest in a good pair of head phones. I spent 50.00 on a pair of Sony earbud earphones (noise reduction type) at Best Buy. They are the best of the best. Good luck to you.
Once my sound card got changed somehow
So, I would check and choose the alternate one as mine would not produce any sound until I changed it back.
Also, do you have the latest version of Express Scribe downloaded? They have a newer one out that I wasn't aware of until about a month ago. It is improved.
Sound card recommendations?
Does anyone have recommendations for a good sound card? I currently have a Creative Audigy LS sound card and would like to replace it with a sound card that might provide stronger and more crisp sound for transcription. Thanks
A sound card is a piece of hardware.
You'll have to determine if a sound card is installed. If not, you can install one but that's probably not the answer you're looking for.
Is there another option/location where you can go to get this work done?
You really should have checked all of this out before you left home. I ALWAYS take my laptop with me because the one person I can rely on in most cases is me.
I am sorry about your situation.
Express Scribe
I have been using it for almost 3 years. I have been very happy with it and not had any problems.
Express Scribe
On the voice files that you have in the program, just click on them and then there should be a button to click on that says Done. This should remove the files. Good luck!
Express scribe
Do you know if there is a hot key or Function key for building macros or speed type in Express scribe?
Express Scribe
Is there a setting in Express Scribe where when you let up on the pedal it rewinds? Is it in options somewhere?
TIA
express scribe
I use express scribe for transcription. I have been able to download files just fine with it for months, but now when I down load files it only gives me the option to save the file and does not load it into express scribe. These are the same type files that always worked before. Any ideas as to why or how to correct the problem? Thanks in advance! 
express scribe
Try deleting the express scribe and reinstalling it.
Express Scribe
Mine did exactly the same thing ONLY in reverse. I had to manually move it into Express Scribe from the voice files; then all of a sudden it started to load into Express Scribe immediately. I talked to the gal I was working with and she said this had happened to her also. Can't figure it out but it works OK now.
Express Scribe
Open Express Scribe, one click on "settings", scroll down and click on "pedal and hot keys". Foot Pedal Control: Make sure "Use Foot Pedal Playback Control" is checked. Make sure your port is "VEC Pedals USB. Make sure the No. is "3-pedals". Then click on "Foot Pedal Control Setup Wizard" and follow instructions exactly. This is where I made my mistake. I didn't follow the wizard's exact instructions. Sounds complicated but absolutely is not. Once you do this you should be good to go.

express scribe sm
I have used infinity just to test out express scribe itself after I loaded it. Does anyone actually use this program for their work? If so, where can I get some work in this program? Have it downloaded but have not used it yet. I believe it's supposed to be good for testing, etc. for different companies.
Try Express Scribe
software. You will likely also need the file VECUSB.exe in order for the software to recognize the pedal, but all of it is free, and it works with lots of different sound files.
Good luck!
Express Scribe
I find it works well with downloading directly from FTP. Have done it for about 2 years. Also MP count is really nice line counting software. It used to be free, but I think you have to pay to get it now. I still use the free version.
Express Scribe
It is almost the only program I ever use. I love it! It is very easy to use and it has never let me down. One of my part-time gigs requires me to use something else, otherwise it would be ES all the way! You will like it.
Express Scribe
I am starting a new job soon. We'll be using Express Scribe, just wanted some opinions on it. Like it, Love it, Hate it.....I wanna be prepared, so throw me some hoensty, THANKS
Express Scribe
The only time I had a problem with sound quality was when files were converted from C-phone to WAV. DSS and unconverted WAV files are clear/good as long as you have a good dictator. No player can make up for a poor quality doctor dictation.
You can do it with Express Scribe
It's a small pain, but you can use Express Scribe instead of the EditScript player and, therefore, use your USB foot pedal. It's possible that way. I did this for several months.
Express scribe
I am presently using Express Scribe for a company and just got another account that uses Express Scribe also. Am I able to go back and forth between accounts? Each has a separate spot when I am pulling the files off of.
I use Express Scribe-
It's free and have been using it for a little over a year with no problems.
Express Scribe here too!

Express Scribe
Anyone work with Express Scribe? The service I begin employment with on 09/01/07 uses this platform. They are telling me that I cannot see a line count on the work I do from Express Scribe. I do not like this, as I like to see where I am as far as my line counts go. Please let me know if this is true or not?
re: Express Scribe
I've used ES before and it doesn't count lines but Microsoft Office Word does. So typing in Word will allow you to do that.
Express Scribe
I am beginning employment with a service who utilizes Express Scribe as their platform. I hear you can use the function keys or a foot pedal to transcribe. Can anyone tell me which way is more efficient and user friendly? I have only used a foot pedal.
Express Scribe
Do you know if type expander, Shorthand, works with Express Scribe? What foot pedal works best with this program? Are many clients going with this program and if so where do you find them? TIA.
Does anyone use Express Scribe?
Okay, this is what I want to do. When I stop the dictation by lifting my foot off the play pedal, and then press it again, I want it to back up a few seconds so I can hear what I just typed. How do I do that?
Right now when I press play, it starts right where it stopped...my Start/Stop Transcription program backs it up...I am working off my laptop with Express Scribe and cannot find out how to do this.
Thank you for any help!
Something better than Express Scribe?
Just recently started an account using Express Scribe ... and while it is okay (and free!), I am wondering if there is a similar program that will show me the total number of minutes of the files I have loaded/remaining. It would almost be worth it to me to pay for this feature, if there's another program that has it?? Any recommendations or suggestions? TIA!
Express Scribe
I need some info on Express Scribe. I have everything set up, but when I push on the foot pedal to play and then let up it keeps playing. Any suggestions as to what the problem is?
re: express scribe help
Hi Diana,
I did the same thing but then I found that on the settings tab, I checked the box by "Use the OLD method of slowing down the sound file(SPS SPEED)and then my foot pedal worked again! I been there! Hope it works!

express scribe
I'm having a very strange problem with my express scribe program and i don't know what to do. Has anyone ever heard this: I will have my foot on the pedal, I'm happily transcribing away and sometimes when I take my foot off the pedal to catch up, then we I try to go again, I find it has gone back to the beginning of the transcription. The time is still set to where I was before, but what's coming out is the beginning of the file!! Please HELP!!!!!!!
yes, Express Scribe and others
I use Emdat with GearPlayer. You can have Emdat select a program off your computer to use for your pedal.
express scribe?
Can anyone tell me if they think express scribe is the best to use? I know it's free and all, but I've had a few problems lately...is there anything else out there that's "better" or worth buying?
express scribe
Would you recommend using something else? I'm willing to put money into it if it's worth it.
Express Scribe V4.15
Please can somebody send me a version of V4.15 as I upgraded to v4.16 and have also had problems downloading .dss files.
Express Scribe
When I try to transfer a sound file into Express Scribe and play it, the sound is not transferring. It's almost like the sound is wiped out on transfer, as the duration of file says 0 when it is in Express Scribe. I'm desperate - can anyone help?
