Turn off User Account Control in Vista
And Express Scribe will work, at least the latest version will.
Also--last time I was at the ExpressScribe forum they stated that the Welcome message won't play, so try another file before assuming it doesn't work.

User Acct Control Setting
Hi there,
I have had a few problems with Vista like this. I currently use Express Scribe with a USB foot pedal and its working fine for me. I have had to tweak a few things though to make Vista work with most of my transcription software. One thing I have noticed for most programs to work with Vista that I use for transcription, the user account control setting has to be turned off. I keep it off all of the time now. Here is a link on how to do that.

Also, if that doesn't seem to work there is another Vista option I have used with a lot of success. It is a software compatibility feature that enables software that worked fine with XP to be able to work fine on Vista. Here is a link to that as well.

I hope all of this helps!!!

Is their platform user friendly, or does it depend on the account?
nm
when an account goes out of turn around time, what does that cost
the company? does the client not have to pay or is there a lowered price for being out of TAT? the reason i ask is i am on an account that seems way out of TAT and it seems if they offer a bonus to get the account done, it would be better than being out of TAT and losing money on it. anybody know how TAT affects the nationals financially and why when things are falling behind they don't offer bonuses to catch up.
thanks to anyone who may have any answers on this.
I have total control of my account, and as for set up - sm
they ask you when you want it set up for and they delivered the day I wanted it--I can set up my folders, say who has access to what, delete folders, etc. I do not plan on storing any files there on a long-term basis, I erase after I have transcribed the work. I keep a copy on my computer though just in case for a while. I do not send the work back that way as my client prefers email but if I get any other clients in the future I will send the finished work back that way if they want it that way.
Just turn it off and wait for the electricity to dissipate and then clean it and turn it back on. nm

Foot pedal control/knee control? (sm)
My sewing machine has a knee control built into the side of the cabinet and I find this very comfortable. I would like to somehow do the same with foot pedal I use for transcription. Can figure out how to mount it, but having trouble adjusting it so the 3 pedals are not an issue. ANyone done this or have any input?
Foot pedal control/knee control
Though I have not had experience with this type of modification, I have repaired numerous footpedals and have some information that may be helpful. Generally, the footpedal is comprised of the primary circuit board, the wiring to the computer, and the three switches for play, rewind, and fast forward. These switches are easily removed from the pedal with a screwdriver. With basic soldering, you can lengthen the wiring to each switch, or even replace them with different switches you can get at a local electronics store. With a little bit of creative engineering, you could mount some knee -controllable switches that could control the footpedal.
Turn down such low low offers, turn industry around. sm
The way to figure is how many lines an hour do you do. There are 13 lines characters in a line (65 line length)
So say you TRY to average 4 pages an hour say 34 lines a page equal 139 lines, times your line rate.
139 X 4 cents a line = $5.56 an hour
and what if you don't do 4 pages even less.
MTing hourly hourly output is not very predictablel, so ya never know and predict what you can put out each hour.
THE WAY TO TURN THE INDUSTRY AROUND IS TO SPEAK UP, SAY 'NO' THAT IS TOO LOW AND GIVE SHORT EXAMPLE.
If the MTs continue to accept, that is what the going rate will continue to be. Yes, Yes, it will. Just keep looking. Email for general lowest to highest line rate prior to testing and resume, just say it saves time on both sides and it DOES. Why waste time. Soon, the message will get out there.
Turn off puter, wait a min, turn on with delete key pressed down, then hit delete key NUMEROUS times

What is the difference between an acute care account and a multispecialty account??..nm

I've never had a problem switching from account to account.
The problem I had was being switched too soon. If I don't get one account spec solidly in my memory with QA feedback on mistakes before starting another, I get confused. The other problem I had with former jobs was inconsistent QA. One person tells you one thing, another person tells you another.
Lately, I don't have a problem with it. Right now, my binder has 8 account specs (some I've never had to use) and I'm picking up a new weekend job for a while. The terminology and report formats stay basically the same. It's just all those little preferences. LOL
sorry - just used a new user name
didn't know it was taken by somebody else who everybody seems to think so little of. I am NOT whatever MTMommy you all are referring to. Sorry. Just looking for a little knowledge here about what I might be reasonably be able to charge when I am asked... would not want to shortchange myself.

new Cox user need help sm
I will be having cox installed next week, I understand I can get a wireless router for one computer but they said I would have to purchase a wireless "card" for my others. I have an Acer and a Gateway, plus a Dell laptop aside from the one I am having Cox installed on. How can I get a wireless card for each of these computers and are they hard to install? They are "older" but still work fine for the kids, etc. Thanks for any help.
Ex-MJ user (sm)
Is there anyone who has had phone cards work for them? The ones I have seen are at least 4 cents a minute. But, has anyone found that phone cards is the answer to ULD? I am new to this and scrambling to find something to replace MJ.
as a user of VR with my job
I gotta admit that I love these bloopers. 
VR is only as good as the user,
and it won't pick up background noise if you have a noise-cancelling microphone (like I do).
Here's a report I dictated yesterday. I think it had one error (it typed breed instead of bleed), but that was because it was the end of the day and I was getting tired. Judge VR for yourself (and see my note after the report)-
The patient is a 57-year-old male with a history of hypertension, who was found on the floor by his son. The son heard the patient fall and then heard banging on the floor. At the time of initial evaluation, the patient was verbalizing although the patient could not understand what he was trying to say. The patient had a left hemiparesis. The paramedics were called but by the time they arrived the patient was unresponsive, however, he was reported to have a gag reflex and he was breathing spontaneously. The patient was transported to our facility for further evaluation and management.
On arrival in the emergency department the patient was found to be entirely unresponsive, therefore, he underwent tracheal intubation for airway protection and to provide ventilatory support. He was found to be hypertensive at the time of his evaluation in the emergency department. The patient subsequently underwent a CT scan of his head. This revealed a hemorrhage into the basal ganglia and ventricles. There was mild ventriculomegaly and the basal cisterns were tight. Additional evaluation in the emergency department demonstrated that the patient had left ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiogram but without evidence of acute myocardial ischemia. He was noted to have severe renal failure with a BUN of 95 and a creatinine of 9.8. The patient's blood sugar was 229. The patient had placement of an EVD and was transferred to the intensive care unit for further management.
Since admission to the intensive care unit the patient has remained hypertensive. His systolic blood pressure has been as high as 190. His current blood pressure is 140/80. The patient is receiving a propofol infusion. He has not required any additional hypertensive therapy at the present time. The propofol was used because the patient did become agitated, although he was not awake enough to adequately protect his airway.
Since admission the patient's intracranial pressure has varied between 8 and 16. He has required CSF drainage of about 10 mL per hour. His cerebral perfusion pressures have remained satisfactory. He has been in sinus rhythm with a heart rate of 80. He has not had any ectopy despite the acute intraventricular bleed.
The patient remains intubated and mechanically ventilated. With slow ventilatory support, his gas exchange has been satisfactory. We are providing assist-control ventilation to optimize his gas exchange, but we will attempt to keep his pCO2 between 30 and 35. Lung fields are clear and there is no evidence that he had aspiration at the time of his bleed.
The patient was also noted to be hyperglycemic. He is receiving an insulin infusion to optimize his glucose control, and the insulin infusion will be adjusted as needed.
Because of the patient's severe uremia he will require dialysis. Currently, his potassium is not elevated and his intravascular level appears satisfactory.
The nephrologists have spoken to the patient's personal physician. By history, the patient has had progressive renal failure although he has not require dialysis. He is also known to have hypercholesterolemia and cardiomyopathy. He has had deteriorating mental status over the past few weeks, which may reflect his progressive uremia. He will require dialysis in addition to continued ventilatory support and management of his intracranial pressure.
P.S. For the record, I dictated this report, if you will excuse the cliche, like a bat out of hell. All I know is I completed 36:23 of dictation in about 1 hour 15 min, and it had 626 lines.
Still think VR is such a bad product?
Go to New User Registration
If you will notice, the two items that want you subscription number, etc., are NOT required fields. You do not actually need a print subscription to get the web site subscription.
Does that help you?
Just an FYI when buying it from another user
Be sure to notify Textware Solutions that you purchased it & who you purchased it from so we can update our records showing that you are now the licensed owner. This will ensure that you can receive technical support, discounted upgrades in the future, etc. 
phen user
I've taken phentermine off and on for the last 15 years after quiting smoking and gaining 25 pounds. The only problem is, once you stop taking it the weight comes back on. I have had no health problems from this medication, SO FAR.
Is there a way to search by user name? (sm)
Is there a way to search MTStars by user name? For instance, if I want to search my past posts? I tried using the search at the top but it didn't work.
I have WP 10 and I like it. User friendly. sm
I've used MS Word too, but there really isn't that much difference and its easy to learn.

Very user friendly
Although I was a newbie at the time, after finishing a MT course, they first had me on Dictaphone and then trained us on Escription/Edit Script. It was much, much easier than Dictaphone and any MT with experience would find it very easy to use. There really is not that much training needed---just to learn the commands, which is included in the tutorial. It really is a great platform.
Not a c-phone user, however here's something
YOU FOUND IT!
MTSTARS FALL SCAVENGER HUNT!
EMAIL THE BLUE "that might be beneficial (sm)" link to ENTER. Keep in mind you are only entering the contest. A winner will be drawn and a post will be made.

GOOD LUCK!
How user friendly is it really?

eScription user (sm)
Win XP, MS Word 2003 is required since 2000 is not supported by eS any longer. At least 512 for memory. You're going to love it.
It is very user friendly...
...I think you'll like it. Good luck!
Yep, VERY user friendly...
You'll be up and running into no time. :-)
I don't think it is very user friendly - sm
I used it for a day I think and then quit, hated it. Too many steps up to actually working and it was just a pain in the butt to use. There are many platforms that are much better than EMDAT.
very user friendly, productive ...
i was disappointed my lines didn't increase more dramatically over old system -- but there was an increase. I like it well enough i hope i never have to use another system. Maybe the 'decrease' in lines others report is due to messing around on the internet instead of working, as 2 minutes here and there really can add up...
It would be one thing if we actually had to register with user IDs.
Other than that, I'll bet there are many NYMTs out there. It's not like the person was deliberately trying to impersonate you or steal your identity. Come up with something less common.
software that is user friendly (sm)
I'm not sure of the difference between software and a platform, but I just want to work for a company whose program is easy to work on, not a lot of glitches, freezes, server problems, etc. etc. That defeats the whole purpose of what we were hired to do - TRANSCRIBE. Also when there is a problem, it would be nice to have someone be able to help you quickly.
line counter user too
You know, I NEVER thought about the feature in Word (using Word's total char w/spaces/65 = total line count. It never occurred to me that that doesn't count hard page breaks, tabs, or returns! I feel really stupid. I've always just trusted that that is the way things are done (thinking that TX companies are actually treating the MTs fairly concerning pay). And the thing that makes me so mad is that, that is the way most transcription companies have you figure your lines! Because apparently that's the way their customers ask/tell them to bill them! Something is definitely wrong with this picture. We, as MTs need to stand up and just not take it anymore! I'm TIRED of just taking what they make us take. Granted, I'm sure there are actually some decent, honest Tx companies who actually pay for all characters/keys used, but I'd have to say, by and large, that is just not the case.
Having said all that, I have one client that I also bill using Instant Text Pro V line count software and I love it. But I have worked for other companies in the past who used strictly the Word method of counting characters w/spaces and dividing that by 65. How unfair is that? All this time! Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
Unhappy cable net user
I am on cable internet right now and it is always going out. I was on Verizon DSL prior to cable and if I could switch back to DSL I would, but it is not offered where I live, only cable, so I am stuck. There is not a huge difference in speed between DSL or cable. I know you can pay a little more for the faster DSL package. I don't know what your paying now, but I pay $50 a month for cable internet and I was told i could get a way faster speed on DSL for less than that per month. Personally, I prefer DSL over cable just for the fact it only went out on me once in the 1-1/2 years I was on DSL. I have been on cable 1-1/2 years and I was down just the other day for over 4 hours.  I lose cable connect every month.
as a previous dial up user--sm
and I too had earthlink with accelerator...I found nothing that would make it go any faster. It is not just your computer, it is their servers, as well. If they don't have the server capacity, it does not matter how much processor speed your computer has, it just will not go any faster. I am sorry. I gave up on it and got cable. much happier.

ESP user. Another question re: word
This is just CRAZY. Forget trying to make a template in your Normal... I think you lose a lot of your line count if you do that because it keeps your transcribed dictation (if you add it to a block of text you expanded) from being included in evaluation. Since we aren't suppose to use word or open it while ExText is running... How could we insert a template (with jump codes etc)??? I'm starting to get really angry after reading this. Any advice? I wasn't planning on inserting each and every heading under an ESP since they want everything a standard format. A template works much better for me, but if I'm not getting paid for anything I put on a template, what's the point????
C phone user question
anyone with a C phone know what code to press to set the recall for the footpedal back? I have an old C phone with no display and it is driving me bonkers!!
MPWord user comments
Hi,
As the author and publisher of MPWord / MPLite / MPTools I will state categorically that each and every user comment that we have posted on the various pages of the website are actual comments we've received.
(We do have more to post, including about the new MPLite, but posting those will have to wait till there is time.)

My company told me how user
friendly Meditech Magic was. I have only worked on one system that was worse than MM and that was at YOG. How anyone gets their lines in I'll never know.
