Voice files & access to VPN sm
Posted By: HappyFlaMT on 2009-03-09
In Reply to: Just curious....sm - TechSupport
I use a DVI system for the voice files and connect to a VPN to transcribe, and I am using just the mobile broadband connection. I applied to a couple of companies that said the connection would not be compatible, although I'm not sure why. My main issue is that I need to get a unidirectional antenna put up as my omnidirectional one tends to get fluctuating signals. As far as usage, I haven't really tracked work only or surfing only, but I would estimate no more than 1.5-2 GB of usage per month is strictly work-related. If anyone wants the name of the company I went through for my equipment, it is 3gstore.com. Excellent customer service, even if all you do is ask a question and not buy anything. They even answered some tech questions for me a couple of weeks ago, more than a year after I bought my stuff.

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!!!
Any testing sites out there to access the files w/o logging in? Just

voice files
Yes, mine are emailed too. They are usually .dvf or .wav files.. Call GearPlayer from that website I posted and ask if this is compatible for you. If so then purchase it and call them back to be walked through downloading to your computer (I download to a folder named "Work to be Typed" by "Saving Target As." )
Voice Files
I tried that. They won't drag into the box.

That worked. Thanks so much!
voice files query...
Good day everybody...I am on a rush and interested on buying a set of classified voice files, all body system for practice transcription but I can not find sites where to buy them. I will appreciate it a lot if somebody could give me at least an idea where to find the complete set of course on a cheaper price. Thanks very much.
Why would you e-mail voice files to yourself. You'd have to have them
on your computer to do that and if you have that why e-mail them. Unless you have encrpyted e-mail it would be a big no no as far as HIPAA.
PDA use for voice files over internet?
A chiropractor called me today to see if I could transcribe his reports using a PDA with voice files over the internet. I told him that I am sure I could accommodate him but that I was unfamiliar with that process and would have get back to him within the week, yet now I am at a loss at what to do. What program do I use? Can it work along with my microcassette transcriber/pedals, which I use for other chiropractors and PT’s. I
If anyone is familiar or can point me in the right direction, I would be forever grateful.
TIA~
Need help with static in voice files
Please help!!!
I am given .wav files, through a VPN connection, from a hospital that uses DVI/Fusion. I have an enormous amount of static on the files and it seems that no matter what I do, nothing helps. I have even been able to let the gal at the hospital listen over the phone to what I am dealing with and she says that her files sound nothing like what I am getting. I am assuming it has something to do with Fusion and I have called Dolbey numerous times to try to get them to help to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
FYI: I have tried playing the files through 4 different software programs and always get the same static.
Thanks much for trying!
Trying to load voice files, anyone?
Wanting to go to work for a new company. What I am getting is - voice files failed to load- object does not support this method.
I would like to know- has anyone experienced something similar and if so any suggestions? Thought maybe too much on my computer or ?? Thanks so much.
converting voice files
Thanks for the input. I will definetely look that up on the net. I just hope it does the same thing for my voice files as it did for your MP3 files.
Best way to send voice files
I need to get some help. What is the best way to send voice files to other MTs, and then they send me their completed reports? I am relatively computer dumb and need some advice and help. What is the most secure, economical way? I notice that Express Scribe/Dictate has FTP...but actually all that stuff confuse me...
Can anyone explain it to me in really simple language? I know all the big medical terms but computer stuff just terrifies me but I have to get some help....
Overwhelmed NY MT
for voice files on computer, try plugging
your headset directly into the computer where the speakers normally go and see if that helps. Also, you can get a volume amplifier for this. It sure helped me.
Have you considered editing voice rec files?
Fewer Keystrokes and easier on your hands. Might be a way to stay in the field.
If you already have Bytescribe, he can email the voice files to you now.
Bytescribe plays dss files. very easy to do!. good luck.
The doctors email me the voice files
Do you know if gear player will work with dss voice files that are emailed to me? thanks
Will you be accessing the voice files via a Cphone, too?

Can I d/l voice files from Filezilla to my Cdrive?

how do the docs send the voice files to you
do they use a dropbox and then drag the files to it from a file on their pc or something like that. Our docs use Olympus recorders and now when they are done recording they just put their recorders in docking station and somehow the files are emailed directly to us, so am wondering how they would do it using this filesanywhere?? They do not like too many extra steps of course!
Need Testing Help - Downloading Voice Files
I am taking a transcription test and I have downloaded the voice files on my desktop. I am trying to drag them into Express Scribe but it isn't working. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks!
Does anyone have any voice files they could share for testing purposes?
Have a Lanier VW system which pulls voice files
can pull your voice directly from the hospital side so you can send via FTP directly to your MT's. The files are converted to play using Express Scribe or any player which can play typical .wav files.
If you deal with seperate dempgraphic files I can help also. Thanks
My digital voice player converts files to be --sm
able to be played. it sounds like your voice player does not. Maybe either you or she needs to save the file as a wav file first, prior to playing. either that, or try downloading the express scribe player, which is free, and try to play it with that. If that plays, then it is your voice player which is not compatible with the files she is sending you. good luck.
Express Scribe and receiving the voice files...
I have been using Express Scribe to transcribe notes from voice files that are sent to my AOL mailbox. I was told that AOL mailboxes will only allow smaller sized voice files and that they will not accept larger files. Does anyone have information regarding this matter? Is there a better server I should change to so I can receive the larger voice files?
I was also wondering if I should instead use one of those MT platforms where the doc’s email to that specific platform and the MT picks them up there. For the life of me, I cannot recall the name of that site. If anyone knows of the site, can you please let me know.
All advice appreciated, thank you.
dont buy vista - certain voice files do not play

Looking for Software to Organize Digital Voice Files
Anyone know of good software that can take my digital voice files and organize them so I can keep track of which worker is working on which doctor, keep an eye on turnaround time, etc. -- instead of making endless folders on the computer myself. Voice files are separate from the typed reports, which are done in Word. Thank you.

Running Voice Files Through Speech Recognition. SM
Does anyone run their voice files (DSS and WMA) through a speech recognition program and then edit them? Just wondering if that is any faster than actually typing it myself. The doctor is a very clear dictator, so I'm wondering if the speech recognition would pick it up okay -- but wouldn't be able to teach the software to recognize her voice the way the instructions say to.
Also, does anyone using speech recognition listen to the dictation and then redictate it into speech recognition software themselves? I would be able to train the software to recognize my voice then.
Just trying to think of a few ways to increase my productivity and save my wrists at the same time. Thanks for any suggestions and comments.
Christina, I would not send voice files unless they legally
belong to you and are in your voice. It is against HIPAA regulations to share medical files. If the hospital or physician or company finds out, you would be held accountable if a patient's private information is given out to another party.
Help! Need New Method to transfer voice files asap
Voice files are now transferred from clinic I work for via email (unencrypted) and are then sent back via Winzip and email.
We need new method to be compliant, as well as to eliminate "many missing" files it seems when sending through email. Clinic now uses Olympus equipment and does not want to use email any longer. Checked into secure FTP site and will not work well with the Olympus system they have. Any suggestions on what to do here????
Any way to transfer microcasettes to digital voice files? (sm)
I'll be using a subcontractor and rather than picking up and delivering tapes, is there a way for me to transfer dictation from tapes to voice files that she can transcribe using express scribe?
Do they make such a machine?
Advice regarding Express Scribe and FTP sites for voice files...
I have a new client that would like to use his PDA and send me the voice files through email. I am confused to what programs I need to acquire in order for this procedure to be HIPPA compliant and also to work smoothly. Will Express Scribe work for the voice files and transciption? I will also need an FTP site, correct? What reasonable and user friendly FTP sites do you recommend?
Thank you for any and all advice! 
Delete your voice files at the end of your shift or before you start work again. No

It depends on what kind of voice files you're playing.
The sound on Express Scribe is terrible. I think it's worth it to find a player that plays your voice files with good sound. If you use wav files, a Bytescribe wav player would be excellent (get the dongle version so you get unlimited installs). They also have a version that converts DSS to wav. I complained about the DSS files not sounding clean on speed up and slow down so they told me about another version they have. If you have a Bytescrive wav player, it's already on your computer. Of if you're using DSS files you could also use a DSS player. (I've never tried them).
I am looking for recommendations for a FTP site to retrieve digital voice files. sm
Can you tell me what site you use, how much it costs, etc.? Any info appreciated!
So you get a flash drive with voice files on it you are suppose to transcribe?
I'm trying to understand. Do you save the transcribed reports on the same jump drive? If that is the protocol, then wouldn't the MT before you typed any reports, then wouldn't they be saved to the flash drive?
If so, then you could open up the flash drive and if there are any Word files or text files, you open those up and see what they are. If they are transcribed reports, write the patient's name down and don't transcribe those notes.
Whatever the case may be, I would absolutely tell the office manager or whoever you are meeting with that you will type everything on the flash drive and that you expect to be paid for everything you type. You gave them freebies the last time and you're in this business to make money.
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.
Download Express Scribe, it's free, when you download the voice files you will listen to....
them in Express Scribe and you can set your footpedal up. I forget where the downloaded files go, can't remember if you can put them where you want them but I would have to search for them to download to Express Scribe - maybe someone else can tell you how. It is much better than what you are doing.
Filezilla is the software used to transfer files to an FTP server where the files "reside".

Should be voice to voice (talking), not transcribing. nm

Did you save files in .rtf format? The files need to be
as a Word document or it won't count them. Could be the problem.
Most companies do no use their only files (HIPAA). They use files provided by other companies, serv
If you can get through the test files, then the sound quality on the actual company files is better. And, the dictation is never as bad as the test files, plus you have QA to help with hard blanks.
Of course you can access them
What do you mean you have no program to access them?
Why can't you just do a file search?
1.80 for me ... have to use their access. nm

Am I the only one who could not access this

Access sm
I had a terrible time and kept restoring my computer to an older date late Sat., early Sun.. I think it just showed me how valuable this site is to me. I would hate anything to happen to it. Glad to see it back!!
I can access it.
If you still have trouble after scanning for malware, you might want to try polycola.com and see if you can access Google through there.
access disconnect
They disconnect the phone line and you see on your computer that the connection was disconnected. Then they only can get back in when you let them, by clicking on an icon and working with them at your end to get them into your computer. Dont worry, it is done all the time. You will see the disconnect on your screen.
It's very frustrating trying to access
This qualifies for the Stupid Business Decisions award.
What are you using to access their FTP site?
You don't use Internet Explorer to access FTP sites. You can download CoreFTP Lite for free and use it to upload and download from FTP sites. If you want to, you can email me and I'll try to walk you through it. Win98 shouldn't make a difference with regard to FTP. As far as docking pay, well, hmmm, that's mean of them. Anyway, download the FTP program and email me, and I'll see if we can't get you up and running.
But, I can access all other web sites
So, would it really be my Internet Explorer causing the problem???
I use to go to this one web site where I could always log on even during them updating the site but many others could not - some could, some could not. I just have a feeling this may be the same type of thing - something with the website itself or else I would have problems with other websites, wouldn't I? I can access any other website I want but this particular one - wwww.weightwatchers.com
I thought maybe I needed to clean out my cache or whatever as they may have changed something where it keeps using something on my computer that is old/no longer valid in order to access the site but wouldn't everything I have done so far have eliminated a possible problem such as that??? I did not actually go in and delete anything in any cache so I don't know if that may need to be done yet and, if so, I have no idea where to go and/or which one(s) I need to do that with.
Thanks so much for trying to help. I sincerely appreciate it.
can't access right now, but try Kansasii or something like that
