Conversion program for digital sound files - sm
A long time ago I saw a listing regarding a program that would convert sound files, ex. dss to wav; etc. I need to convert a .dvf file to .wav. Any ideas?

A WAV pedal controls playback of voice files. You need a software program through which to play the
The term "WAV pedal" has become a generic term. The software that you use will determine the file type(s) that you are able to play on your computer. You use either a pedal or hot keys (Fkeys) to control that playback. As stated below, Express Scribe is one such software program and it is free. It can be found by clicking on the link below.

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!!!

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".

wav files
I receive my wav files via an FTP site and return the completed files the same way. I have a digital voice file player program on my computer, with a foot pedal, and play them that way. I type in Word, save the file, and send them back via the FTP site again. I like it alot, but the program costs $200 including the foot pedal. some have demo versions, like express scribe, I think, but I have heard alot of complaints about foot pedals not being compatible with it. email if you have additional questions.
FTP files??
I am really curious about these FTP files I see. Someone has suggested to me using FTP and a digital drop box through the internet, rather than using email to send and receive. Could someone email me and explain more about this to me.
TIA
wav files
Hi, I am assuming that you have a digital wav player and foot pedal, that it is already installed and operational?? I hope so. Anyway, you need to download your wav files to a certain folder where you will be able to *find* them. I download mine to a file folder I named *new voice files*. Your digital voice file player should have an area labeled *jobs* or something similar. I have Start and Stop digital voice player. once I click on the *jobs* button, a second window opens and there is a button called *settings*. Click on this, and you have the option of where to select your *new voice files from*. there should be a *browse* button so you can locate where you downloaded the wav files to. then click *ok*. You may have to close the *jobs* window and then reopen for it to take effect. Once reopened, all the downloaded jobs should be there and you highlight which one you want to play next. You may also have to click the drop down box in the file where you placed your downloaded files and click *all files* for them to be viewed. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me. good luck. ks
FTP files
Try downloading your FTP files to your "My Music" folder. After you're done make sure the files appear in the "My Music" folder. Then when you bring up the Express Scribe and click on load the files should be there. Good luck!
Wav files
I work for a local company that has been using cassette tapes to do their work, but they have decided to try and do wav files on CD's. My question is - What exactly do I need to purchase in order to transcribe from this CD? Do I need just a wav pedal or do I need a pedal and software to go along with it? My company doesn't know because this is all new to them too. ~ Do you have a good wav pedal brand to recommend? Thanks in advance.
FTP FILES
Okay, this is probably a pretty dumb question to most of you, but what is an FTP file? Is this something that all computers have, or do you have to download something to access this capability. I have been an in-house Transcriptionist for 14 years, and we still transcribe from minicassette tapes. I worked for services many years ago, and again we transcribed from tapes. I am thinking of doing some part-time at-home transcription and see this term being tossed around. Could someone tell me what it is?
DSS files
I do dictation for a doc in Arizona and he uses DSS files. At least that is what my file extensions say when I D/L and U/L them. I go through a site called MedeDocs. They are in Texas. They use FTP to send things over the 'net. It is really easy and user friendly. I like it. I am goign to assume that my doc in AZ has a handset of some sort too. I am hazy on the details. I just type the reports. LOL.
.dss files
I am helping this girl get her computer to play these files. She had her OS reinstalled (windows XP) and now the .dss files show up with 0 duration. We have installed every codec and made sure that the .dll was in place. We even installed an olympus player on her machine in case there were other codecs needed by windows (thinking surely this would resolve the problem) but nope! Olympus won't play them either.
I know it's they are valid files because I had her email one to me and I can play it. When I go through explorer and tell it to open with windows media player or olympus, and even start/stop, nothing. I am completely at a loss.
Right now, she is loading them into olympus, converting to wav then loading them back into express scribe, since she has a pedal for express scribe.
If there's something we missed or can do differently please let us know!!
Thanks!
dss files
Does the Olympus IN-USB-1 foot pedal play dss voice files?

FTP files
 Help! I am stuck in the 20th Century. I just applied for a job (not medical) where I may have to use Express Scribe or FTP files. I think I can handle Express Scribe, but what are FTP files? What do I need?
FTP Files
FTP is not really files, but a way to transfer them. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. I use FTP for both of my MT jobs. It is easy as pie. Think of it as two computers sharing information. I copy my jobs from an FTP site onto my harddrive and back again everyday. :-)
Unfortunately, if she files (sm)
bankruptcy she will actually be protected. You will not be able to post the information as you will be barred by the bankruptcy order; in fact you will need to cease all communication with her regarding the amount owed. She will not need to shut down her company to file bankruptcy. She can file initially for the "relief" it will afford her and go from there, i.e. reorganize, etc.
I was just throwing the thought out there. I think what she did is absolutely wrong and horrible. How the heck can you afford to work for free though for her? Basically, that's what it comes down to isn't it?
Good luck.
DSS files
I am curious if any of you know about DSS files. I have an interview with a lady tomorrow for a contractor position. She said they use an Olympus DSS system and I would need to purchase an Olympus DSS foot pedal. I have 9 pin, 15 pin, and USB pedals. Wouldn't one of those work with DSS files? Any info would be greatly appreciated as I do not have $300 to invest in a new pedal!! Who does?? Thanks in advance
DSS files
DSS is a type of file. Other players will play that type of file. The woman I worked for used the Olympus DSS Player in the office with the doctors, loaded the work to a TASP, and the Transcriptionist downloaded the file to be played with Express Scribe. You didn't even need a foot pedal at all. Hope this helps. 
DSS files
You can play DSS files with the DSS Player Lite. You can download it for free from Olympus at http://www.olympusamerica.com/files/DSSL211E.exe
DSS Player Lite will also play .val, .wav, and .wma files.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');

old files?
Do you have a big list of old audio files or are they set to delete themselves? You can go into Recover Old Files to check.
I don't even know what .sri files are, but...
the website does show that it should play them ... VoiceIt sri files, anyway (under Supported File formats).
http://www.nch.com.au/scribe
You might try converting them to another format using Switch file converter, by NCH also and a nifty little program, if you can't figure out how to get Express Scribe to play them, though.
http://www.nch.com.au/switch
.sri files...........
The site does say it supports those files but it doesn't. They won't convert with Switch file either. The files are produced with a VoiceIt recorder and I have found others looking for an answer as well as to why .sri files won't play on Express Scribe. They have gone the same route with no success. I found that we need software that comes with the VoiceIt recorder in order to play these files, as those files are proprietary to the VoiceIt recorder and Express Scribe has to have an "add-on" in order to play these but going to the "nch" site only sends you to a zip file that doesn't open....
others have had this same problem so just wondering if anyone has had success with Express Scribe and these files...
Conversion of wav files - sm
I got a wav file that opens into Windows Media. I want to be able to get this into my Express Scribe. Is that possible and if so, how?
Thanks for ANY help.
Conversion of WAV files
Yes, you should be able to play the WAV file in Express Scribe. What you need to do is find where the WAV file is located (such as c:, which file folder, etc. etc.) If you don't know where the file is located, try using windows explore and search that way. You will then need to open up Express Scribe and do a MANUAL load. This will give you the opportunity to specify where the file is located. You should then be able to find the file and load it. You may, while in windows explorer want to move the file to a location that is easy for you to remember,thereby making it easier to load in Express Scribe. I've had the same thing happen to me several times...it's frustrating until you get the hang of it. HTH.
If the files have been "zipped", you need
a Winzip application to open them. You can download a free version on their website. Do a Google search.
Sound files
I thought it was just me but my group sometimes uses hand held recorders and you are so right--it may be a simple word but it just doesn't always come through clear and I feel like a fool leaving a blank when I've done this job for 30+ years. The comment about a tin can is SO appropriate! I use Express Scribe and MOST of the time the dictation is fairly clear--although (guess I'm old fashioned) you can't beat the clarity of a Dictaphone tape player. It is always clear as a bell and I really HATE to sell mine; however, no one seems to use the tapes much anymore. Such is progress--even if it isn't really better at all!
Wav files vs. C-Phones
Think I'd better get a laptap in the future! Sitting outside typing sounds wonderful but since I am only doing this on a contingent basis, guess I'll stick with my big old computer. Thanks for your input!
Files To Go.. opinions?
 Looking at several different options. Metroscript, MyDocsOnline, and Files To Go seem to be at the top of my list so far. I would appreciate any feedback as to experience with this program. Thank you. 
word files
Under your C file, there is a window file and under windows is a temp file. I think it should be here, if you so a search for the file or a word in what you were typing. It should be in here, saved up to the point where your computer last did an auto save. Try that anyway. It has worked for me before, but not always. Good luck.
speech files
Sorry for confusion, my company has switched from plain typing to basically editing speech files, so my lines have dropped, so pay has dropped. Is there anyway of edit any faster to increase line production? any tips or tricks?
Speech files
Can you speed up the voice file without distorting it too much? Is there a way to move the cursor along with you as you edit, rather than using a mouse (if that's anything you are doing)?
speech files
Thanks for replying. I am working with EXText and am using the foot pedal as I would in text typing, speeding up the files, etc. Don't know why I am in a slump.
thanks anyway.
