Is Escription 3 compatible with
I have MS Word 2002 and I know that it is not compatible with Escription 8 which is what I am going to have to start using Monday. I have a Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 disk that came with my laptop. So....my question is.....will MS Word 2007 Home and Student work with Escription 8? My next question is do I need to uninstall my MS Word 2002 before I install MS Word 2007 or will the Word 2007 overwrite the 2002? Any help with this would be wonderful
I mean Escription 8 compatible with

9-PIN FOOTPEDALS
I have two 9-pin foot pedals (IN-DB9) for sale as I am no longer doing transcription. They are in excellent condition and were not used very much at all. I am asking $35.00 each plus shipping. I also have a Dictaphone C-phone if anyone still uses those. Email me if interested. THANKS!!
Question regarding footpedals
Hello,
I am going to need to have a footpedal for a transcription work. How do I know which type of footpedal to get. Will WAV pedals work with all software?
Both of my inifinity USB footpedals don't like to
rewind. I have to step on it about four times before it rewinds. Is there a fix for this? I've been wanting to buy another, hoping the next one works properly, but I'm afraid this is the way all their pedals work (or don't!). Does anyone have an Infinity USB footpedal that works well?
TranscriptionGear.com has footpedals
and can deliver them quickly. I got a GearPlayer, and it's great, but it didn't work for every place I tested with. I got through the testing even without a foot pedal, but it is annoying. Do use the F keys if it lets you. That helps a lot.
Well I must be lucky then. Both my footpedals
are 3 button footpedals and they work just fine with the adapter on. Maybe it has something to do with the software used as well. I use Start/Stop and Transcription Buddy.
I have 2 USB footpedals, one from StartStop and one from ...sm...
from Bytescribe, brand name Infinity. The Infinity pedal works with StartStop or Bytescribe WavPlayer and the StartStop (with HTH Engineering on the bottom) works on both StartStop and Bytescribes WavPlayer as well. You could see call to double check with StartStop tomorrow when they're open or call Bytescribe to see if they sell pedals separately.
New at this, do footpedals have to be programmed SM
to work with a platform? Thanks
No. Different programs use different footpedals. You might want to wait until you get a job - sm
to be on the safe side. I have been lucky so far. I have a 9-pin serial port foot pedal which works well with my Bytescribe, and will work with the free ExpressScribe too.
Emdat InScribe & Footpedals
Hi everyone,
Emdat InScribe 4.3 works only with foot pedals that can be configured or programmed for specific keystokes. F2 is play, F3 is Rewind and F4 is fast forward by default in Emdat. If you have the ability to configure a foot pedal to these keystorkes (function keys), then that foot pedal will work with InScribe 4.3.
Emdat InScribe 4.91 has a "configure foot pedal" utility that allows you to configure any USB foot pedal. This is a newer release of InScribe and we have been informed of some issues with this configuration feature. InScribe 4.92 is in beta and if you have a foot pedal (such as Infinity) that did not work with 4.91, please contact beta@emdat.com to get 4.92.
We apologize for this issue and believe it is resolved in the latest version. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Emdat Help Desk at 630-743-0500 x1.

Sorry, they are compatible.

It's very compatible with Word, and quite
similar to Autotext/Autocorrect. That's why I like it better than IT. Download the free 3-day trial offer to see how you like it.
SmartType compatible with DQS
Has anyone had any luck getting SmartType to work with MQ DQS? 
No you don't have to buy it. If you don't have a compatible player - sm
that can play "PlayAll" files then they will supply the PlayAll XTRA player, though they do ask you send them a CD for it I believe. They supply the WP DOS 5.1, Stedman's Spellcheck via email. That is why I said don't let the question throw you, you don't have to buy anything.....unless you are new of course, then you will need a footpedal. Bytescribe is compatible with the sound files and that is what I use, I also have a copy of the PlayAll which I use to pull up the file information I need to transcribe, but it won't work if you have Bytescribe on your computer. I love my Bytescribe so it stays. They will train in in the use of WP 5.1 and they hire newbies too. I started to work for them with 2 months of experience....it will be 4 years in May since I began working for them. As I said good people, I appreciate them as much as they appreciate me.
Won't work, new IT Pro V is now compatible with

I don't know if Stedman's is compatible or not, but it
is considered the best and the most widely used I believe.
Is Shorthand not compatible?
You have to have a program compatible
with whatever he has to download the voice files from his office.
Are wav pedals compatible with all programs?
I'm looking to invest in one since I see a lot of jobs require you to have one. I was wondering if there was a brand out there that is compatible with most programs. I see some ads say they must have the Start-Stop one and so on. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! Do you know if DocQscribe is compatible w/ satellite? nm

.dss files are not compatible with wav players--sm
They need to be *converted* for WAV players to be able to play them. your wav player may have a conversion tool within it. If it has a *tool* button, open that. It will not automatically play them and saving your files in Word will not convert them to wav files. you have to do that manually. good luck.
MS Works and MS Word are NOT compatible. SM
If you do a document in MS Works and try to open it as an MS Word document all you will get is machine code. So if you are transcribing for someone who wants the files and they have MS Word, they will not be able to do anything with them (except pull their hair out).
The newest Stedman's is compatible.

Please let us know if your software is compatible with Vista and thank you.
It seems that companies would hurry up and get compatible with Vista, as they would have more choice in MT's in their hiring process.
Hoping companies will get their VPN, etc. compatible soon.
Vista is so smart and fast -- at least my computer is !
Vista is still not compatible with most platforms currently.
I have yet to see a platform compatible with MAC and if you look at the job ads when listing needed equipment they all say PC.
Stedman's is compatible with Vista. I use it. nm

2007 not compatible with 2003--sm
but there is a file conversion tool available. Whether this would affect the normal.dot file, I have no idea. Better check with microsoft word on that one. go to MS website, they have a lot of info about 2007
stedman's 8 is compatible with VISTA. nm

Word 2007 not compatible
I was so happy when a friend surprised me by buying me a version of Office 2007 so that I could have Word 2007 (I'd been slugging along using Word 2000 which was sooo slow).
But now that I'm actively job hunting, I'm seeing more and more ads stating that various platforms are NOT compatible with Word 2007!
Does anyone know why?
EditScript8 is VISTA compatible
I have them both on my other computer. I'm not sure EditScript is VISTA compatible, though.
Hope that helps :-)
Any version of WordPerfect will be compatible. nm
Also, if buying an analog TV, get the facts if it will be compatible or not...(nm)

I'm getting set up for DQS and I was told by tech that Smartype is not compatible but(sm)
Shorthand and PDR or PDS (whatever it is, I don't have) would work. I have Smartype too and it's a pain that it won't work. I was told by others here that what is on the DQS is sufficient. Hope that's true for me too. Good luck.
Accordign to Microsoft, it is XP and Vista compatible.

True, but I've checked out the one I need and it's compatible
Start-Stop is on the list of compatible programs for the particular model I need. Thanks for the input though!
Don't think so. So many new programs/software aren't DOS compatible. nm

Misys, compatible shorthand programs
Does anyone know if ShortHand or InstanText is compatible with Misys? If not, are any other 'shorthand' programs compatible?
Not sure, but I started wtih a new company as an IC and they said they were not compatible
with 2007 and that I had to have 2003 or older to use. I think the majority of companies out there are not using the newest version.
I have the Infinity, have found it compatible with just about everything, it is great!.....NM

Is Vista and Lotus Notes compatible?
I just had Lotus Notes installed on my PC from my company. If I upgrade to Vista, will I have to get them to re-install it and is it even compatible?
Thanks!!
Best Spell Checker compatible with Vista?
 I just bought a new Sony Vaio and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a spell checker that was compatible with Vista for Word 2007. Are there any out there that are good?
I also need a medical spellchecker compatible with Vista. Any ideas? TIA. nm

Had satellite; and most companies are not compatible with it, personally, I was not happy with it.

Many companys don't have their stuff compatible with Vista yet. Keep your old machine
