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 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!!!

I have a new laptop with Vista and my Express Scribe is not working.  So is there another program to play dictations with a foot pedal in Vista?  OR how do I make Express Scribe work with Vista?

Thanks for any help

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!!

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,

Me again!  This time I installed the disk (Sony DVE v.2.4.04) and got an error message on my new computer with Vista.  I need this to hear the sound on voice files for a client I work for....  I feel like a Pioneer with Vista and transcription!   Anyone else have this and found a solution?

Update:  I went ahead and bought Office 2007 as I need Word to transcribe and also use Excel to keep track of lines and my college son needs Powerpoint!  Thanks for the help! 

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?  

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....

Overwhelmed NY MT

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

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).
