 I am not an ignorant person but I just can't figure out this wav pedal. Right now I am in tears because I can't get it to work. Can anyone teach me how to get the files onto the wav player and then transcribe them? I am so frustrated I could scream. Any help would be great. I have absolutely no experience in wav pedals, so I think that is my problem. Can you help? Is there a web site where they take you step by step through how to use it? Thanks

sony foot pedal help
I lost the disk to download the installation for my Sony FS-85USB wav pedal when I moved recently. Any one know where I can get one or download the installation? Also, lost my red line under misspelled words in Word. How do I get it back?
anyone using Expres Scribe? can you use SONY pedal with it? NM
12 pin Sony foot pedal, adaptor?
I use it with a Sony micro dictator/transcriber but I'm finally jumping into the 21st century. Anyone know if I can find a USB adaptor for such a foot pedal or will I need to invest in a new foot pedal? If so, where should I get one? I'd like to buy one locally, or do I need to but it online?
Thanks!
Sony ones
Would these be the fold-up Sony® MDR-A35G Sports Headphones?
If so, um... they look like earbuds or at least work the same way. I need a regular headset -- something I can grab off in one easy movement without tangling in my hair (for those quick get-aways)
Sony
Sony USED to be good; I have three newer ones and they ALL are like that. I pay 100.00 - 125.00 to have them "fixed" and they work for a day or two and then back to more of the same. Save your money and don't buy these anymore until they fix them. I personally will never buy another one again. It is like a bottomless money pit for me at 600.00 plus and then every 6 months or so another 125.00 for each one. I was wondering if I were the only one. Now I know they all are probably the same worthless pieces of junk. I'm off to buy new ones and they definitely won't be Sony!
Sony for sure
I didn't have the exact same pair as the above poster, but they were Sony's for about $50 at Walmart. Just some earbuds that were supercomfy, crisp sound and had a nice long cord. I think they were actually marketed for the iPods.
Unfortunately, they didn't work too well once my dogs got hold of them. :-(
Go for the best! Sony, Philips - anything over $50.
Minimum $50 for a good pair. It never ceases to amaze me that MTs spend under $10 for the very thing that makes or breaks their work - Everything is based on what we hear. The difference is phenomenal between a cheap $10 headset and a good $50 and up one. Treat yourself well and go for a good set - again anything Sony or Philips over $50 - wireless are great - Sony makes a great rechargeable wireless. I prefer the Philips regular set that runs around $50. I can hear anything and everything perfectly, while my coworkers struggle and struggle. Invest in yourself and your career - you are WORTH IT!!
SONY DIGITAL HELP!!!
Well... this is the first time I have ever done anything like this, so bear with me! I have recently started typing for a clinic who is using the Sony ICD-BM1 recorder. After the doctor dictates, the office staff downloads the files from the memory stick and sends them via email. HOWEVER, the files are HUGE. A typical 1-2 minute dictation is coming across as 2 MB or more. I have an 8 minute dictation that came across this afternoon that was 87 MB after I converted it from an MP3 to WAV. I am well-versed in the Olympus DSS system and another office I type for uses it. Typically with the Olympus system it will take 25-30 dictation (1-3 minutes each) to even equal 2 MB. The particular office who uses Olympus is able to send me 30+ files at a time to download, whereas the office using Sony has to send them 1 at a time and usually 50% will bounce back to them.
So, my question is... Has anybody ever experienced this problem and, if so, HOW DO I FIX IT?? The other Transcriptionist (who actually works in-office) is getting ready to go out of town on vacation and we are hoping somebody can help us learn to compress the files before she leaves so that the other office personnel won't have to mess around with it as much as we do. TIA ~Missy
Need digital help! (Sony)
Anybody have docs who use a Sony digital recorder? My docs are recently using them and it is turning out that a single 2 minute dictation is coming across as 2 MB or more, thus 10 dictations are coming across as 20 MB or more, which in turn are being rejected by the email server. I have another clinic who uses Olympus DSS and it would take 30+ of 2-3 minute dictations to equal 2 MB. Is there a setting within the recorder that needs to be adjusted to make the files smaller? These individual files just seem so huge and it is making it difficult for the office to get them out via email because they have to be sent one at a time and I have to be on the other end to download and delete off the server before more will go through. (I only have a 10 MB email box). Any help would be appreciated. TIA!
I use Sony earbuds
Bought them (Radio Shack, $59) specifically to use with my iPod, but I tried them and love them for transcription. They come with three different-sized rubber pieces to fit your ears and block out noise. I tried all three before settling on the smallest one. Warning...they block noise so well that I almost had a heart attack when DD came for a visit and appeared out of nowhere. She said she rang the doorbell, but I never heard it. I also can't hear the the keyboard clicking or the grandfather clock bonging or the phone ringing or the dogs barking or DH hollering....love these earbuds!
Sony hook-over-the-ear (sm)
Okay, so I don't know what you really call them, but I have tried sooo many different types of earphones because I am kind of funny about what feels good on my head.
I found these little Sony earphones that have a hook that is kind of like a pair of eyeglasses that holds the sponge-covered speaker to the outside of your ear. They are on a "Y" wire, so there is nothing over the head, and you can use just one if you need an ear to hear what the kids are getting into.
I bought mine at Radio Shack for about $20.00 last year, but I've seen them other places (probably even Walmart), so I'm sure if you're interested, you can find them. Sorry I can't remember what they are called. If not, e-mail me and I will take a picture of them and send it to you.
Sony Featherlight
I use Sony Featherlight Walkman headphones that you can buy at your local discount center. They go over your head and you barely even know you have them on. The sound is great, too!
Sony headphones...
I LOVE my Sony MDR-NC7 headphones. They sit right on my ears, are very comfortable, and when the noise cancelling feature is turned on, the sound is very crisp and clear. I don't know if you are in the market for noise cancelling, but I thought I would put my two cents in, since I do highly recommend these to anyone! I bought mine at Best Buy for $49.99. 
Sony NC headphones...
Mine are model #MDR-NC7. I love them, they are very comfortable to wear, as they sit right on my ears, and are very cushy! The NC is great, I can even hear the doctors very clearly when my 4-year-old and husband are in the same room. I bought them at Best Buy for $49.99. I know that there are better ones out there, but for the price, I highly recommend these! 
This would be just a "regular" 3-pedal pedal and not the Dictaphone pedal. nm

Get a pair of Sony earphones. sm
Like the ones kids plug into a portable disc player. I'm not talking about the "cheapies" that most kids use for the disc player with the little foam rubber spongy thingys. Get yourself a decent set that have "faux leather" with the big padding that cover both ears. You won't hear a thing outside of your earphones. Make sure the ear things cover both ears and have a lot of cushioning. A good pair might cost you 20 or 30 bucks, but is well worth it.
Good luck and godspeed MT comrade! :)
.
Just make sure the earphone attachment is the same size as your speakers.
I bought my Sony and Panasonic new on
ebay for about $40 apiece. That's been 5 years ago now. I use them both weekly. I don't know what the difference is between a Pearlcorder or any other machine.
Does anyone own a Sony Vaio laptop? Can you tell me what you think? nm
Thanks! 
There are Sony ones at Radio Shack sm
that were suggested to me so I bought a pair. They are silver and look sort of like Spock ears when you have them on. I think they come with a year warranty or maybe I bought that for a few cents, can't remember now. I really like those.
Sony® MDR-Q22LP w.ear™ Headphones (nm)
New Sony MDR-NC7 squeezing my head
They are comfy at first but after about 20 minutes my ears are killing me and the sound is not as great as I was hoping. Are there any other ideas. I thought about the Koss portapro or sportapro but don't know anything about them either. I have been using a cheap GE pair after my dog broke my good pair but have a new account that is impossible to hear on the best of days so I thought now is a good time to get a replacement. Unfortunately the Sony's just aren't the ones I'm looking for. I can't handle anything over this price range though.
Elssa - Sony answering machine
You mentioned in your post that the docs called in on your Sony answering machine. Could you please tell me what model that was and how it worked for transcription.
Thanks
Barbara
Anyone tried the Sony wireless headphones or another brand - sm
I currently have a Radio Shack version (900 MHz) but there is an awful hissing sound with every word of dictation. I like them because they allow you to turn the volume of your dictation up very high, which is perfect for my low-talkers, but the hissing noise is driving me crazy. Thanks in advance for any help or info you can provide.
Sony M2000 transcriber question
Just bought a Sony M2000 microcassette transcriber from Goodwill for $6.99 with all accessories. (buy of the year!!) Can someone tell me how to erase tapes? I currently use a Panasonic, so I'm not quite sure how it works. I'm sure the answer is right in front of my eyes. Thanks alot!!
P.S. The temperamental Sony unit was a bargain at $100! Ouch!
Anybody want to sell me a bridge?
I use the Sony dynamic stereo headphones that go over the years. I don't have a
hearign problem yet, but they shut out alot of outside noise (like the kids), and are very comfortable.
Sony Studio Monitors, 20 bucks. Walmart/Best Buy

Had a Sony hand control years ago, then my thumb killed me! nm
..
What type of headphones do you use? Anyone use Sony Noise Cancelling Fontopia Ear buds?
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,
G
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.
