There is a compatibility feature
There is a compatibility feature with Vista, or so they claim. It's all in this Q&A piece in the Times here. I think you might have to register for the Times to read this link but it's got some good info

IMAC compatibility
I would really LOVE to work on a Mac, but there have always been compatibility issues in the past. Anyone out there using a MAC and if so with what platforms?
was not talking about compatibility, but rather--sm
when XP would not be supported any longer by MS. Besides that, compatibility is more than just being able to open documents. As long as you have the compatibility pack, you SHOULD be able to do that. There is more to it than that though. All you need to do is read some of the sites that are looking to hire people and see just how many are not compatible with vista or word 2007, for that matter. The company I work for has a platform that is not compatible with either one of those programs. you are lucky that you have no problems. Unfortunately there are many more out there that are not. I am happy for you.
You would have to ask escription about the compatibility - sm
I know when i wanted a Mac it wasn't. BUT, i have a gateway PC and laptop and everyone i know followed suit and have had no issues. American tech support too! Awesome customer service!!!
Compatibility question
Did you ask Stedman?
On their website they say: "Stedman's Smartype fully integrates with Word 2000, 2002/XP, or 2003".
You need the compatibility filter from the MS site.

Vonage disconnects/compatibility
I have had Vonage for two years. I do not think there is a difference between the residential and business - and nothing is long distance with Vonage. Also, if you need it, there is an adapter of some sort that you can buy at Office Depot or Staples that will make Vonage compatible with your work programs.
It is a difficult process to disconnect (as I sat through one hour of listening to my sister-in-law trying to do so), but I don't think they try to unfairly charge you for services - they just try to be very persuasive in getting you to keep their service.
What does this have to do with 2007 compatibility with 2003?
I open 2003 documents every day in 2007 on my Vista machine. I can open 2007 documents in 2003 on my old XP machine because I have the compatibility pack installed. You can also set the 2007 default to save down to 97 thru 2003.
Vonage compatibility question

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide...

What Windows are you running? Could be compatibility issue

I have an InstantText question about compatibility with Extext Speech
I posted this on the textware forum page, but no answer as of yet.
I am just beginning Extext Speech, and when I am linked to IText, the "magic" strokes, Alt plus period, etc., are formating strokes with IT and do not work as the magic keys.
Is there a way to get around this so I can actually use the magic keystrokes?
Thanks in advance..
Instant Text claims compatibility with all word-based programs
I have used it with Word, PowerScribe, ExText, and a program based on MS Office online, the name of which escapes me. Works great.
This would be just a "regular" 3-pedal pedal and not the Dictaphone pedal. nm

You can buy just the Start/Stop software w/o the pedal if you're able to use your pedal as a VEC

Bringing up ExpressScribe pedal question again. Does anyone have 9-pin Infinity pedal on a USB?
tia
Is there ONE pedal I can buy that will work with ALL platforms? And where do I shop for a pedal?
.
A wave pedal is a foot pedal that connects to either
serial port, game port, or USB depending on the software needed with it. You have to download the work via the internet and most companies still require high-speed internet, though some allow dial-up or satellite. A pedal costs about $70, though can find on e-bay cheaper. You can download ExpressScribe for free to use with the foot pedal unless the company requires a different software program.
wav pedal is a foot pedal that plugs into your
computer so you can transcribe wav files. There are many other formats such as DSS, but they are all digital voice files.
I don't think brand of foot pedal is important, but need to know if it is game port, serial port, or USB and how many pins it has. The majority of them are made by Infinity in some foreign country, but sold by many companies.
WAV pedal vs. USB port foot pedal
PLEASE HELP! Are wav pedals and USB port foot pedals one in the same? I've only transcribed from audio tapes, and all this is new to me. Thank you for your help.
A wav pedal is just a generic term for a pedal used to
play voice files you have on your computer. You can get them on the equipment board here, e-bay, or you can Google and get lots of other places. Some pedals are fairly generic and can play multiple "wav" types, but some only work with certain software. You can have a serial port connection, a game port connection, or a USB connection.
If you do not already have a job that you need a pedal for I'd suggest waiting because you don't know which kind you will use. If you need it for testing you can download ExpressScribe for free and use the function keys to test.
I also have a USB foot pedal. Do most companies use the USB pedal or SM
will I need a 9-pin or a 15-pin. Also, which transcription software for playing back audio files is the best? I've used one that was a fee download, I think it was called Bytescribe or somethingl ike that. Does that work for most all files or should I look into purchasing something like Start/Stop or GearPlayer?
Oh and does anyone know where I can get Microsoft Word or Office Suite for a reasonable (I'd say cheap, but cheap usually means bootleg) price?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but it's been a while since I've worked for a national. Before the hopsital job I'm being laid off from, I worked in the office at a hospital. So I've been out of the loop so to speak.
Thanks guys.
Foot pedal? Going from VXP to applying for other companies. What foot pedal should I get that woul
I need one even just to test so it seems. Thanks for the input!
INCRE pedal vs. wav pedal
anyone know if express scribe works with the INCRE pedal? I have an infinity pedal which I use for current job, but a possible second job says I need the INCRE, so I am wondering if my current job can be supported with this new pedal. Any info appreciated
Is it the same pedal that MQ uses for DQS? If so
I have an extra. Not sure if they're the same though.
Pedal
I am slowly weaning my clients off tapes to digit, has anyone used the Gear Player pedal and is it compatible with most digital files. I am going to be advertising for more digital accounts and so don't want to buy one that just works with Olympus, Sony, etc. Have a friend who uses the Gear Player and loves it but would appreciate more info if anyone has it. Thanks Patti
WAV pedal
I have a brand new WAV pedal still in box that I just needed to take a test on for a certain company. I am looking to sell it, cheap. I used it for approximately 1 hour to transcribe 5 test exams. Let me know if you are interested.
Wav Pedal
I have an Infinity wav pedal and it has worked with multiple applications. DocQscribe, EMDAT, Express Scribe. As a matter of fact I have this 1 pedal for all 3 programs. It knows which program I have open and works. Anyway, very happy with Infinity and the price was under $100!!
wav pedal
Don't feel bad; I'm even DUMBER!! What is a wav pedal? I have used a C-phone with a pedal, and I am currently using a "dictation platform" or something to that affect (I don't understand some of the terminology when it comes to dictation equipment). So I would be interested in the answer to this question too.
I have the pedal
What else do I need? He has finally sent me some files, but they're playing just like a regular audio file when I open them. Geesh! He has me so upset at this point. I use a WAV files with another doc and we have none of these problems. I download his files, push the foot pedal and transcribe, but the doc with his new toy is sending files nothing even remotely similar to those files.
pedal
I don't think Olympus will, but my Infinity 9-pin works with it.
WAV pedal
I am curious about this Express SCribe you are all talking about. My doctor asked me to check out WAV pedal so we can go tapeless so that is the program etc we are looking at through Medword.com. My cost is $190 for pedal and software. Is there a better and cheaper way of doing this? Another question, I am not understanding how to post questions on these boards/website. Can someone tell me how to do it? TIA
You can get a pedal for under $70.00
WAV pedal
My doctor wanted to go online, so we researched WAV pedal. He bought it off ebay and sent me what I load onto my computer. I was fortunate to have someone that comes to visit periodically that new how to set things up for me. However, I know nothing about what happens on his end. Can someone tell me if he too has a special program to load on his computer or does he just get some type of recorder with memory card and put that card into his computer (like a digital camera, I assume - don't have one of those either), and then sends it to me by e-mail. I do not have high speed, just regular dial up. It takes time to download, but comes across sharp and clear. When I am done, I simply e-mail it back to him. However, I have mentioned a couple of times about an encryption program, and he has ignored my questions about it, so am assuming he does not want to mess with it. I understand they can be very confusing. Any info on this, let me know as I would like to add another client, but don't know how it all works so that I can do that.
WAV pedal know how
Hello.
I just got the WAV pedal and cannot figure how to work it. I got it hooked up right, just can't get it to play. The company wants me to pay for tech support. I'm not ignorant, I work presently for a doctor and soon to work for a company online, so I hope I get the info I need too.
Good luck,

wav pedal (sm)
i ended up purchasing the olympus wav pedal for $40.00 off transcriptiongear.com. no software to load. had a USB plug which was easy to just plug in and go. works great.
Pedal?
I use an IN-DB9 but it isn't a USB, is that what you have with a USB? Where did you get it? I would LOVE to use my laptop instead of my other PC.
wav pedal
Does anyone know where I can purchase a wav pedal? Also, what is the difference between that and a regular pedal?
USB pedal
I use my S/S 9-pin serial pedal with my laptop. The USB cable I bought came from Radio Shack and had its own driver I had to install.
After installing the driver for the cable, you can plug in the foot pedal. You will need to go in to S/S under tools and change the COM port to 6, I believe. It could be COM 7....I cannot remember.
wav pedal
I am in the process of buying a wav pedal. Do you have to purchase software to go with the pedal? I want to test with a company that requires a wav pedal and when I asked which type their response was any type of wav pedal.
pedal
I have an infinity USB port as well. Works for me. There are some company softwares that will only work with pins but it depends on which type. If it was me I would definitely go USB.
Does your pedal have
a place to hook your keyboard to it. I was under the impression that the Emdat pedals hooked to the computer and the keyboard hooked to the pedal. Maybe that is just the PS/2 models and the USB are just plug and play??? I am so confused!
I am going to call about the pedal in the morning and see what they say. I will email you if they say I can get a USB, as I may want to purchase yours.
wav pedal
I changed to a new computer and downloaded by wav pedal but it is not working. i do believe i must have to change some settings but how? Any ideas??
Wav pedal
Try add/delete hardware to make sure your computer is recognizing the pedal.
Click on icon, may be a a right click, for settings and options - I am just working from memory, but the pedal software will include a place to set which side of the pedal makes it reverse, fast forward, etc. Once you get into here, if the pedal has been added and recognized by your computer, you can tweak how it's working.
Finally, if it is not a new pedal, or the cord was all twisted tightly in the package, gently move the cord that connects the pedal to the computer - gently check it where it enters/exits the foot pedal itself - to see if it might have been bent - this has happened to me.
Wav Pedal
I just upgraded to Vista. I had to upgrade my Bytescribe Wav pedal as well. Needed the latest software version.
Did you buy this used? Maybe it's not the pedal
s
You will probably need to buy a USB pedal.
The PEDAL
Regarding the pedal, I had to purchase one recently and found a good deal on a refurbished one here:
http://dictran.com/refurbished-dictaphone.html#d148519
Look at the bottom of the page on that website.
Now, there is also an adapter that is necessary. Here is another link that includes foot pedals as well as adapters:

USB pedal
I believe the pedal I'm using now is a USB Infinity pedal. Will this work in Express Scribe with the 4.91 InScribe?
pedal
Infinity pedals usually work most places. Mine has worked with everything except Dictaphone platform. You should not need software just a USB pedal unless the company specifies a different kind. I just plug the headphones to the speakers. Good luck!
pedal
I have an infinity but on the wizard it says there is a switch on the bottom, so that you can program it, but I don't see one. Any idea where it is?
Pedal
Seems like a software issue, so it doesn't sound like there's anything you can do on your own.
