What is the program, Scribe, like? SM

Posted By: Just looking on 2009-01-19

Word 2003 is the preferred version to use with Scribe.  Can you use it with Word 2000 and if so, does the older version of Word complicate things or make it slower?

Express Scribe is merely the audio program
you get audio/sound only - you have to have a different system to send back the work review the census, etc.
once you use Express scribe to program it should work with any USB compatible software too.

PRD is a DOS program. I don't think it work with Word, a Window's program.

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".
You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.

Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

You can also create a directory on your computer and save all e-mailed files to that directory. In the settings option, under the incoming tab, you can have scribe automatically scan the directory at whatever interval you desire and it will automatically load all files saved there to Scribe.

I worked on scribe recently and found it to be a horrible platform, very mouse oriented, slow, no could not make lines. (others there could make lines, but I do not know how). I did my best to try to make it work for me, but never could get my line count up. ShortHand should work with it no problem. No did not disable Word.

I worked with scribe a while back.  had no problems.  loved the platform.  No problems with Word.  can put you in touch with a current user if you like.
I need help with Scribe ...

I just started a new job with  a company who uses Scribe...and I am going CRAZY!  My question to you...is this platform unusually slow and very time consuming?  I know that my computer is a little on the older side, and in need of replacement, but it was fine before today when I started using Scribe!  Has anyone else had this problem?  Thank you for your time!!


No, I think that it is just Scribe...
I use my Word to type within it. I feel that there is no way I am going to be able to make any money with the way this platform works. It takes me longer to load everything up than it does to do the short dictations!
Express Scribe
I have been using it for almost 3 years. I have been very happy with it and not had any problems.
Express Scribe
On the voice files that you have in the program, just click on them and then there should be a button to click on that says Done. This should remove the files. Good luck!
Express scribe
Do you know if there is a hot key or Function key for building macros or speed type in Express scribe?
Express Scribe

Is there a setting in Express Scribe where when you let up on the pedal it rewinds?  Is it in options somewhere?


TIA


 


express scribe
I use express scribe for transcription.  I have been able to download files just fine with it for months, but now when I down load files it only gives me the option to save the file and does not load it into express scribe.  These are the same type files that always worked before.  Any ideas as to why or how to correct the problem?  Thanks in advance!
express scribe
Try deleting the express scribe and reinstalling it.
Express Scribe
Mine did exactly the same thing ONLY in reverse. I had to manually move it into Express Scribe from the voice files; then all of a sudden it started to load into Express Scribe immediately. I talked to the gal I was working with and she said this had happened to her also. Can't figure it out but it works OK now.
Express Scribe
Open Express Scribe,  one click on "settings", scroll down and click on "pedal and hot keys".  Foot Pedal Control:  Make sure "Use Foot Pedal Playback Control" is checked.  Make sure your port is "VEC Pedals USB.  Make sure the No. is "3-pedals".  Then click on "Foot Pedal Control Setup Wizard" and follow instructions exactly.  This is where I made my mistake.  I didn't follow the wizard's exact instructions.  Sounds complicated but absolutely is not.  Once you do this you should be good to go.

I have used infinity just to test out express scribe itself after I loaded it. Does anyone actually use this program for their work? If so, where can I get some work in this program? Have it downloaded but have not used it yet. I believe it's supposed to be good for testing, etc. for different companies.
P Scribe software
or may be called Procedure Scribe software. Has anyone had any experience with this?  Thank you.
Try Express Scribe
software. You will likely also need the file VECUSB.exe in order for the software to recognize the pedal, but all of it is free, and it works with lots of different sound files.
Good luck!
Express Scribe
I find it works well with downloading directly from FTP. Have done it for about 2 years. Also MP count is really nice line counting software. It used to be free, but I think you have to pay to get it now. I still use the free version.
Express Scribe
It is almost the only program I ever use. I love it! It is very easy to use and it has never let me down. One of my part-time gigs requires me to use something else, otherwise it would be ES all the way! You will like it.
Express Scribe
I am starting a new job soon.  We'll be using Express Scribe, just wanted some opinions on it.  Like it, Love it, Hate it.....I wanna be prepared, so throw me some hoensty, THANKS
Express Scribe
The only time I had a problem with sound quality was when files were converted from C-phone to WAV. DSS and unconverted WAV files are clear/good as long as you have a good dictator. No player can make up for a poor quality doctor dictation.
Does anyone use Vonage and Scribe????????

I am thinking of switching phone carriers.  I was told by some people that Vonage does not work w/this platform.  MTs that have used them together get kicked out of Scribe when a phone call comes in.  Is Vonage through the cable wires?  So if I have Vonage and cable internet that would not work?  Just curious if any of you use the two together.


 


TIA.


You can do it with Express Scribe

It's a small pain, but you can use Express Scribe instead of the EditScript player and, therefore, use your USB foot pedal.  It's possible that way.  I did this for several months.


Express scribe
I am presently using Express Scribe for a company and just got another account that uses Express Scribe also.  Am I able to go back and forth between accounts?  Each has a separate spot when I am pulling the files off of. 
I use scribe.net and then download
it onto express scribe. It works well.
I use Express Scribe-
It's free and have been using it for a little over a year with no problems.
Express Scribe here too!

Anyone use Scribe platform?

Express Scribe
Anyone work with Express Scribe?  The service I begin employment with on 09/01/07 uses this platform.  They are telling me that I cannot see a line count on the work I do from Express Scribe.  I do not like this, as I like to see where I am as far as my line counts go.  Please let me know if this is true or not?
re: Express Scribe
I've used ES before and it doesn't count lines but Microsoft Office Word does. So typing in Word will allow you to do that.
Express Scribe
I am beginning employment with a service who utilizes Express Scribe as their platform.  I hear you can use the function keys or a foot pedal to transcribe.  Can anyone tell me which way is more efficient and user friendly?  I have only used a foot pedal.
Express Scribe

Do you know if type expander, Shorthand, works with Express Scribe? What foot pedal works best with this program?  Are many clients going with this program and if so where do you find them? TIA.


Does anyone use Express Scribe?

Okay, this is what I want to do.  When I stop the dictation by lifting my foot off the play pedal, and then press it again, I want it to back up a few seconds so I can hear what I just typed.  How do I do that?


Right now when I press play, it starts right where it stopped...my Start/Stop Transcription program backs it up...I am working off my laptop with Express Scribe and cannot find out how to do this.


Thank you for any help!


Something better than Express Scribe?
Just recently started an account using Express Scribe ... and while it is okay (and free!), I am wondering if there is a similar program that will show me the total number of minutes of the files I have loaded/remaining.  It would almost be worth it to me to pay for this feature, if there's another program that has it??  Any recommendations or suggestions?  TIA! 
Express Scribe

I need some info on Express Scribe.  I have everything set up, but when I push on the foot pedal to play and then let up it keeps playing.  Any suggestions as to what the problem is?


 


 


re: express scribe help
Hi Diana,

I did the same thing but then I found that on the settings tab, I checked the box by "Use the OLD method of slowing down the sound file(SPS SPEED)and then my foot pedal worked again! I been there! Hope it works!

I'm having a very strange problem with my express scribe program and i don't know what to do.  Has anyone ever heard this:   I will have my foot on the pedal, I'm happily transcribing away and sometimes when I take my foot off the pedal to catch up, then we I try to go again, I find it has gone back to the beginning of the transcription.  The time is still set to where I was before, but what's coming out is the beginning of the file!!   Please HELP!!!!!!!
yes, Express Scribe and others

I use Emdat with GearPlayer. You can have Emdat select a program off your computer to use for your pedal.


express scribe?
Can anyone tell me if they think express scribe is the best to use? I know it's free and all, but I've had a few problems lately...is there anything else out there that's "better" or worth buying?
express scribe
Would you recommend using something else?  I'm willing to put money into it if it's worth it.
Express Scribe V4.15
Please can somebody send me a version of V4.15 as I upgraded to v4.16 and have also had problems downloading .dss files.
Express Scribe

When I try to transfer a sound file into Express Scribe and play it, the sound is not transferring.  It's almost like the sound is wiped out on transfer, as the duration of file says 0 when it is in Express Scribe.  I'm desperate - can anyone help?
