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!!!

Does anyone know if this is possible?  I'm trying to get my WAV pedal to play these Gear Export files.  The extension is dss.gxe and I think the gxe is preventing my WAV pedal from being able to open them. Thanks in advance!

I'd like some help. 

I have a file sent to me which was supposed to be sent in text format.  Instead, the tech apparently sent it as an ACL file. 

I'm supposed to send it on, but need to convert it first in text format.  Can anybody coach me?  I'm feeling rather "techno-challenged".  

Thx. 

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.

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~     

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!

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.

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....

Do you know if gear player will work with dss voice files that are emailed to me?  thanks

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

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.    

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.

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????

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?

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!     

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'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.

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.

I heard there are free tols on the internet that can convert a DSS files to a WAV file. Does anyone know where to find a good one? I just used the DSS software that came with my handheld to do it, and it went from a 2 MB DSS file to a 35 MB WAV file, which is unwieldy. Am I supposed to now zip the WAV file? How do you do that? 

Thanks a lot.

Can someone help me.  I'm starting to get a lot of tapes in, and I want to start getting some help and outsource some of this, but I haven't the first clue on how to convert tapes to an FTP site.  I've tried talking to computer whizzes, but they lose me after a couple of seconds.  So I thought I would try this avenue ... have any MTs out there been able to take mini tapes or standard cassette tapes and convert them to an FTP site to be downloaded anywhere in the country for someone else to transcribe?? I do not know the first thing about it, and I would really appreciate any input. 

Please email me.  Thanks! 

I have a CD that I am supposed to transcribe.  It came to me in as a .cda format, and it won't play whatsoever.  Not on my laptop, not on my CD player, nothing.  I see online that there are ways to convert the cda to an mp3, but I'm not sure which are hoaxes/bogus and which are for real.

Does anyone know how to do a conversion of cda to mp3?  Please help.  Thanks so much

Word 2000.  These seem to be putting a .doc extension after all of my documents now.  Anyone have a fix?  I have an account that I can't use the .doc extension, and when I back that extension off, I get a message saying "this document may not be usable".  Is this a Vista issue?  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

in advance for any help in this OMG matter!  I'm about ready to  , and I have just gotten it to grow to a length that I like.
