Can you download Express Scribe and see if you can get your pedal to play through that? nm

Express Scribe will not play .sri files......anyone else

Express Scribe is free and will probably play
any file format you need. You just need to buy a foot pedal. Express Scribe also sells pedals, you can find on e-bay, or even the equipment board here.
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.
Are you using Express Scribe to play it?

I play dvf's with Express Scribe, you don't need a converter
and it's a free download for the Express Scribe voice file player. I think it's at www.nch.com.au
Oh and forgot to answer, yes they will play on Express Scribe...
just make sure you mark wav files in your file directory so it will play it.
Express Scribe: Is there a way to change the play speed without using the mouse?
I can't imagine that there isn't a keyboard shortcut to slow down/speed up. I see Play Real Speed, Play Slow Speed & Play Fast Speed, but what if I want to speed it up to somewhere in between Real and Fast? TIA!
Couldnt get Express scribe setup to play dss file

It's Express Scribe. Gotta play with the playback controls

Download Express Scribe for free.

You can download Express Scribe for free, but I would
suggest waiting on the foot pedal. If you need to do voice files for testing you can using hot keys - slower, but saves you from buying something that will stay in the closet. You may need a C-phone but I never heard of a company providing one. Sometimes the company will provide a foot pedal too.
Express Scribe is free, download it at

Download express scribe for free
Not sure if it does the files you need but a quick check of their program will tell you. Google it.
You can download Express Scribe for free.
This program has programmed hot keys (the F keys) to do the same things a foot pedal would. A foot pedal does make the going easier. You could try ebay or do a Google search to find a foot pedal that is within your price range.
Express Scribe is very easy. Files download, you will see them, click on one and it starts when you
press your pedal. That simple.
try express scribe you can download for free. what type file is it?nm

What are you using to play the files? sm
There might be a setting to select the foot pedal and/or the type of files.
yes. they are used to play wav files on your --sm
digital wav player, so they can be called wav pedals too. Although some programs require a specific type of pedal because of the way they are wired. USB port is pretty universal and the simplest, but some programs like the serial port ones so it is wired as to left pedal, right pedal, fast forward, reverse, etc. but they are essentially the same thing.
DSS files won't play
I am totally new to the at home transcription profession. I found someone to type for but when she sent me the file, .dss, it didn't play on Express Scribe. Now, I have been on their forums and tried ALL of the suggestions and nothing worked. Apparently it has something to do with the way the new version of ES interacts with XP or something. So I found a DSS Player Lite at Olympus and it played the file, but ofcourse there wasn't any foot controls or speed, et cetera. I was just wondering if there are possibly other, preferablly free or cheap, software programs that I can use to play these DSS files. I have another person I will be transcribing for as well but I guess she uses a different file format so I am hoping that it will play with ES. I am just so frustrated and don't know what to do to get started making some money. Can anybody help me?? 
Thanks!!
It should play .sri files. Have you tried doing this??? sm
Go into settings, then file types, and put a mark next to .sri files.
Give that a try and let me know if it works. HTH!
Can I play files dictated in DVI on my PC?
I was recently approached by a local doctor and asked if I would like to type for them. The doctor's office uses a DVI system but they did not know anything else including what equipment I would need to play the files. I was wondering if I could purchase software that would alow me to dial into their DVI system with my computer instead of using a separate DVI machine.
Thanks,
Mariah

Started power scribe, have to use my mouse for play/stop. Do you know of (sm)
Any keyboard functions for start/stop. I don't have a wav pedal. Thanks for the info!
Hmmm.....I read somewhere about seeing if you can play the files in Windows Media Player....sm
because Media Player downloads proper codec "on-demand" and this is apparently needed to play .wav files in Express Scribe (read this at their website). Can you play any other types of files?
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.

RE: Using stop -start program, but cnanot get true speech files to play - any one with any ides it w
 would greatly appeciate any advice as to why the start stop program will place the vox files but not the true speech even Iafter I told to associat wiht true speech and so on... The time flickers like it wantt to open the file but it never opens.... THe the error comes up file is too smlal to be a valid sound file or missing file" Actually the start stop will place the Regan Speech sample audio that is a true speech file so I would think it could play true speech files
So if I download Express Scribe on my laptap and then...
hook up to my home PC with gotomypc.com I should be able to play files that are on my home PC?
Thanks. I'm having a hard time figuring this out.
You can have Express Scribe download directly for you.
Under Settings, Automatic Incoming, click Add and use the FTP info you've been given to set up. Make sure your file type is checked. Also, one complaint with this program is that it does not download .dss files.

dss files and Express Scribe

Express Scribe should pay wma files (see insider)
Do you have the latest version of Express Scribe (4.08)? The "Windows Media" mentioned below is what WMA files are.
"Windows version supports wav, ... compressed wav (including PCM, uLaw, ALaw, ADPCM, CELP, SBC, Windows Media, ... and more."
If for some reason you can't get it to work, they have an audio converter that has a free trial here:

I use Express Scribe and .dvf files are listed sm
as files that can be played -- just have to check the box.
Good luck! 
Anyone have any Express Scribe practice files? (sm)
My employer is switching from using a call-in system, for which I use my Dictaphone, to using digital files and Express Scribe. I would like to practice using the Express Scribe software and my new pedal and such, but I can't seem to find any practice files. (I figured that with some of the crazy stuff I see on Ebay, I could find about anything online, but I've been unlucky so far searching for practice Express Scribe files!)
Does anyone know where I could find some Express Scribe compatible wav files? I admit to not knowing much about how this works... I'm pretty much a Dictaphone girl. That's why I'd like to do some practice. The files wouldn't have to be medical, of course... just anything where someone is talking and I could type along and use my pedal and just get the hang of opening the files and such.
Any help would be met with much adulation and beaucoup gratitude! 
Delete the files in express scribe, not the CD.
Open express scribe and click on the file that you want to play or click on the file that you want to delete.
Transferring Express Scribe files
I would like to work from my laptop sometimes, but I am not sure how to transfer the audio files I downloaded from WinSCP already from my PC to the laptop. All I need to do is transfer the audio files. I know how to transfer files that are finished in Word back to my PC. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
How do I set Express Scribe as my default for wav files??
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.
