Express scribe does play DSS files - you just have to change the settings, as they are not one of the standard files it is set up to play.   When you're in express scribe, go into settings at the very top, and then go over to the Files tab.  This gives you options of the different types of files that you can get it to play.  Check DSS and then it should work for you.

Can anyone shed some light on Express Scribe.  I was looking to purchase for me to use along with the 3 part time girls I have working for me.  What is the cost, but more importantly what special equipment do I or the doctors need.  Any replies would be greatly appreciated.  I have a call into the company as well.

THANK YOU!!

If you are working with cassette tapes, you need something to play them on.  You cannot just upload them to a computer.  You can input them to your computer via a transcribing machine. 

Express Scribe is a digital sound player.  It plays voice files that are already digitized. 

I have the Start Stop Universal Transcription System and I just recently hooked it up. My Pedal works fine and will play my sample files, and the voice files cd im trying to load will play through my regular audio player. When I try to play the cd through my transcription system it won't play, it's almost like it freezes the system up. The only thing I can come up with is the files my transcription system will play are WAV files and the cd contains MP3 files. I have no idea how to change or convert these files and I have tried to associate MP3 files with my system and it's not working. Anyone have any suggestions? please Email me! I only have 2 weeks left in my course and I need to figure this out!

MED-Scribe, Inc. (Utah) -- they don't have a website, but email Teri Mortensen teri@med-scribeinc.com about questions/openings.

Princeton Transcription, Inc has a website you can find by Google and I know they have one psych account.

Good luck.

Does anyone have their own home-based company and use the  Express Delegate system?  If so, could you please supply some information on what it required to set it up and what comes in the package?  Thank You!!

Dear M.Ts.

I am in need of M.T. Wave files to improve my skill.  If any body is willing may mail me.

Hi,

I have word 2007 and when I recieve files to transcribe I can not open the files so I can transcribe the Doctor's report.  I have heard there is something you can do to word 2007 so you can open the files to transcribe and then send the files back to the Transcription company. Can anyone tell me the steps to take to do so?  I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks,

MT

I posted this on the main board but thought maybe some of you might be able to give me some advice too. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I am totally new to medical transcription and have a question. In doing transcription digitally, what are the most common sound file formats? I am about to take a test (both written & verbal) for a company and they sent me my test files as .wav files. The files are hard to understand at best  (the guy sounds like he's talking into a tin can ) and I am wondering why they didn't send them to me in a clearer form such as MP3. I am about to ask this same question to the person sending me the test but I thought I'd ask it here too. Is the .wav format the most common form of sound file for MT's? And if so, what's the best program to listen to these files in? I have Windows Media player, Real Player and WinAmp on my computer. Are there programs that MT's use to better hear these files? I hate to sound like a total dummy here but I'm new to this and when I went to school several years ago for MT, we only did tapes--not digital! If anyone can give me some info here, I'd really appreciate it!

Best,

RT

I need help. I am a recent graduate and I would like to know what websites offer free sample voice files where I can practice.  Thanks

in express scribe or some program like that.  Word 2007 is used only for typing the actual files you're listening too, it has nothing to do with opening .wav files or anything other than text files.
