You say you're trying to download a "wav file"; is that the correct file type? I don't work with PC-Dart so I'm not familiar with the file extension that program generates. Check the file extension (.wav, .mp3, .vox) and make sure that it is a file type that can be downloaded automatically by Express Scribe. Click on Settings and then Automatic Incoming. Select the incoming method that you are using for these files, then click on the Properties button. on the left-hand side of the screen, there are only four types of files that will be automatically (or manually) downloaded directly into ES. They are .dct, .wav, .mp3, and .aif. If the PC-Dart files are not one of these four file types, you will have to download those files to a folder on your computer and then load them into ES from that folder.

You want also want to make sure that you can play the PC-Dart file types. To do this, open Express Scribe, click on Settings, then File Types. There are several file types listed; make sure that the file type you want to play is checked.

I was working on a large file and had saved it in Word. I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank.  When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you

immediately following the slash and have it expand.  For example if I needed to transcribe mass/sebaceous cyst, is there a way to use my expanded sebaceous cyst without having to back space after I type the slash mark?  TIA

I like the idea about the macro, but am not sure how to do it as there are headers and footers on the original template.

Does anyone have the BOS pdf file they could spare a copy of?  I just need to print out a couple of pages.  I used to have it but have no idea what i did with it... I think I lost it when my hard drive crashed. TIA!

Set User's Decryption Key

Express Dictate, Pocket Dictate, DialDictate and WebDictate can encrypt the recordings prior to transmission to protect security and privacy. If this has been done, you must enter the same key in Express Scribe to decrypt the audio. The key is based on the user id of the sender (obtained when you register Express Dictate or DialDictate). If you have not yet registered, use the id 0.

All I had to do to get this information for you was hit the HELP key at the bottom of the screen. If your voice files were NOT encrypted using any of the above-mentioned methods, you will need to decrypt the file before importing it into ES.

I used to use Smartype and I know I have it installed on this computer but heck if I can find the patch file.   You don't happen to know the file name do you?

Doctor dictated despite the fact that he had a tremendously BAD phone connection.  I can only hear a word every few sentences, the rest is loud humming and static.  I have a KOSS equalizer that didn't help at all.  Anyone know of a miracle program or something that might salvage this recording, as he doesn't want to re-dictate it?  THanks! 

So many services classify their MTs as employees when they really aren't.  Look at the IRS site:  did you have control over how you did the work, use your own tools?  Did the client pay you directly or the MTSO?  Did you have input on when you were paid, or did the MTSO say I pay on such-and-such a schedule?  Were you able to subcontract your work to others?  Was the TAT based on the MTSO's convenience or the client's actual demands?

If you can make a good argument that you were actually working more like an employee, your state unemployment office may rule that you were, entitling you to unemployment. If the IRS agrees, the MTSO will have to pay part of your taxes, social security, etc.

The bar association in your state may offer referrals to attorneys who will provide a low-cost initial consultation.

If you need a few dollars in the interim, see if there is a plasma donation center near you.  Where I am, one can pick up $50/week, paid immediately.

Good luck.
