So, my hard drive crashed - Dell sent me a new hard drive.  I installed it and everything works fine- except for when I go to use the download manager- it asks me- save to disc- open to Word-  I used to be able to open with Word but now it shows up as a little box and in Japanese.  I've looked at settings in the download manager and nothing that I see that I could change.  Any ideas? BTW, running XP and Office 2003.  Thanks!

That was on a typewriter and you were lucky if you could get 60 lines per hour    and when you made a mistake in a letter you had to rip it out and start over or if the doctor changed his mind and no count of the previous lines.  With the computer came the capability of macro's, auto text, etc. and our lines per hour jumped to 300 per hour.  You have to compare all the facts.  That is why I count more of what I make per hour than what I make per cpl.  If I make my $$ per hour that I want, I keep my cpl the same.  Just me.  Have done it both ways and to me am happy with my cpl now versus what it was when I was doing it on a selectric.

Way back when, I didn't even know it was "transcription."  I did some transcribing as a secretary at a clinic with 8-10 docs. Office manager showed me how to use "a tape player that you operate with a footpedal." (never heard the words "transcriber" or "transcription"). Only had a Dorland's Med. Dictionary and IBM Selectric. Wasn't until several years later at first actual medical transcription job, realized previously had already been doing medical transcription, "typing" the doctors' chart notes and letters (plus answering phones, sorting/distributing the doctors' mail & journals, bookkeeping/accounts payable, payroll, etc.) for ridiculously low file-clerk type pay for what was really an administrative assistant type job. 

You wanted a laugh though: One time, in a hospital transcription dept., me & the other ladies were in the breakroom, giggling about something in the newspaper, someone made a great joke about whatever the subject was, & we were laughing so hard, the security guard came running down the hall and into our breakroom to see what was going on (he thought he heard screaming!)  When he saw us all cracking up, he just shook his head, laughed, & told us to get back to work!

I haven't tried it yet, but it's got good reviews and a 10-use trial.

Hi everybody,

Does anyone know where to go to download the sony digital voice Editor 2? This is supposed to be a free download. I need it to start a new job, and I can't find it. Help anyone?

This has happened to me before.  You will have to go the website and download the codec in order to play you wav files.  Cannot remember how I did it, but once you find the download you should be fine.  You could just do a search on Express Scribe codec to find the download.

Good Luck---I use Express Scribe also.

yes, you need to download them.  Create a folder on your desk top named something like voice files.  Then download them to that folder. 

but NOTHING like what you experienced (maybe 3-5 minutes instead of almost immediately for me). 

So it probably really depends on where you live, etc., and no good way to predict just how bad it would really be. 

Were your ADT searches really bad too?  Probably took me twice as long as usual, so pretty frustrating, but not totally unbearable.  And the fact that the other reports were downloading in the background while I was working on the current one did make things go smoother than I had expected for the short period of time I lost my DSL and had to use dial-up. 

but it still didn't work.  Maybe I'm doing it wrong.  I just clicked on it, it downloaded, I clicked open, it says it's installed, tried a .dss file, shows 00:00 duration, and then Express Scribe deletes it.  I don't get it. 

I'm having my tech guy look for free conversion programs, but he hasn't found anything yet.
