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.

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).
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.
Great program called "Switch" can convert sound files into

See, see what I mean? Me too! Amazing! Funny how we switch to this new program
and do the SAME reports and yet make substantially less money.
Let's all MQ employees just quit already and see what they do. Do you really want to know how much MQ is making now on this "new" platform? They are paying us way less, no more phone bills for them, etc. Amazing.
Anyone hiring not on DQS??

It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".
I need to convert ST to SH = I am...
 I have both Smartype for Windows and Shorthand. I have to use the SH on a Meditech account and want to convert ST vcb files so I won't have to add them by hand. I have tried and tried to do this, but can't seem to find the right vcb file. ANY HELP WOULD BE SOOOOOO appreciated.

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.

how do I convert lph to wpm?
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?

Does anyone know how to convert a DSS file to a WAV file?

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

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?
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.
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.
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.

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. 
HELP! Anyone know how to convert AutoCorrect to Shorthand? sm
I purchased ShortHand and tried converting my AutoCorrect to it. It saves as a dictionary but is not expanding. Anyone know what I can do?
That's why I convert tapes to digital sm
as soon as I get them - no more hassles!
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.
You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
Does anyone know if you have a foot pedal for a USB port if you can convert it somehow to a 9 pin
port or must you buy another foot pedal. Anyone ever had trouble with foot pedal compatability with using their own computer.
Shorthand is good too, you can convert your PRD files to

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.

convert Instant Text to Autocorrect
Can anyone help me with this? I am using eScription as well as Inscribe software and it does not appear to be compatible with Instant Text (if it is, please help!) so I was hoping to be able to convert my IT glossary over to autocorrect if at all possible. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Just downloaded Shortcut, now how to convert abbreviations to it?
If anyone knows I would really appreciate the help. I have Chartnet which has the built-in expander, so how do I get those abbreviations into shortcut?
Short Hand can convert your PRD dictionary, but
it will only work with Windows programs.
I'm 45 and have done all types (sm)
of transcription. I did formal training for MT in 1998, after my training I was doing pretty well. Now that I am getting nothing but leftover, terrible dictators doing medical transcription, I make more money doing general transcription.
NOT planning on taking on anymore medical dictation since the offshoring got going. It has been a nightmare to find decent accounts, companies and decent dictators in the last year or so.
How come whenever someone types a lot of
lines in a day it is considered cherrypicking? I just finished my shift for the day and had 3897 lines. Did I cherrypick? No! I can't see what work I'm getting until it shows up on my screen. I worked a total of 11 hours with my 3 breaks figured in. Yes, I did work 2 hours OT but they asked for OT so I sat and worked. I can work steadily for 3-4 hours and then get up and stretch. I had no normals except the ones that I put in myself for the doctors. I've been doing the same accounts for about 8 years and have tons of "normals" for a lot of the doctors. Once in a while they will change their wording to throw you off course. The only doctors that slow me down nowadays are the new residents who must talk for no less than 30 minutes for each patient. Out of the 132 charts I transcribed, I had about 65% ESLs. Just because some people type a lot of lines in a day does not mean that they are a cherrypicker.
That's one of the things I hate about some nationals. You should NOT be allowed to see the other line counts of your fellow workers because all these accusations happens. If you see someone with a constantly high line count, you automatically assume they are getting all the "good" doctors when it is not the case with a lot of people. It may be true in some cases but you're lumping everyone with a high line count into one group.
There are these types in QA and in MT, too.

re: How do I convert total words to line count?
Based on 65-character line with spaces, I think.
Unfortunately, you can't import your ESP file to EXText. It won't convert. I've tried and
I would just turn off ESP as suggested below and use your Shorthand. I didn't do that because the hospital I work for provided my equipment and were told in no uncertain terms we could not load any software on our PCs without it being approved by the IT department and since EXText comes with its own abbreviation expander, there was not reason to approve mine. I had to input each and every Expander from scratch! It sucked, but in the long run it was a good thing. My ShortHand file was geared more towards radiology because that's basically all I did on my last job. So a lot of it would not have been helpful for the medical records stuff I'm doing now.
Like you care why I don't use my Shorthand still! Sorry to go on and on. I get so bored by myself here at home, I can't help myself from virtually gabbing every chance I get. 
so who types it? they only way around that would be to outsource
and that seems ridiculous.
Report types.
