In Reply to: Can you download Express Scribe and play the file thru there? nm - passing thru

It's a mystery and they have never gotten back to me so I assume as I cannot play their sound file, I wont be considered for the job. I tried everything to get it to work.

Express Scribe

Does anybody know if earphones can be used with Express Scribe?  I can't find any information about this anywhere.  Thanks. 


EXPRESS SCRIBE
had the same problem when I got my new computer. Easiest way is to take it from desktop, and you can drag it into escribe.
Do you have Express Scribe......

Has anyone used Express Scribe to take an on-test SM
test? I downloaded it, but I can't get the function keys to work. Any help would be appreciated. I am technically dumb! TIA
How to load Express Scribe
If you already haven't found out how to do it, save the files to a folder on your desktop, then go into Express Scribe, click on Load or load files (I don't have it on this computer, so am doing this from memory), then click Browse, then click on C drive, then click Desktop, click on the folder, then click on the files you want to load.  In my experience, Express Scribe will only load a job if it has been saved in a folder.  Hope this helps and good luck
Express Scribe does play that!(sm)
Not sure about Gear Player, but in open Express Scribe and go to settings, and then settings, and go to the tab files, and you should be able to check the box there. You can also go to the WMA file right click and select open with and then select your Express Scribe. Good luck on the test!
Are you talking about Express Scribe?
It's a little primitive, but it works well enough to take a test with.
Huh? I'm using Express Scribe v4.3 with Vista - nm

I did download express scribe but sm
I may be doing something wrong. I can't open this file in anything but windows media and it goes directly to windows media. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

BTW, why did you leave and do they pay on time?

Thanks
isnt express scribe free? sm
i had to purchase my own bos and the software/pedal they told me to purchase was $129 (with their discount). they did provide the spellchecker, drug book, and Smartype though, so that was good. thanks for the fyi.
foot pedal- Express Scribe

Yes, I've got that far.  I'm actually able to play now, but I still don't have all the kinks ironed out.  When I play, it is warbled...I'm sure the problem is with my settings and my F-keys...can you help me?!  At least I know now this pedal does work thanks to your telling me yours did...I kept plugging and accidentally discovered I had to click on Express Scribe when I signed in.... Thank you for your help.


If you are using Express Scribe, you can use your function keys and...
the instructions are in the Help section or maybe it is in Setup.  Good luck on the test!
I used express scribe. Worked just fine.

You can also use Express scribe with a foot pedal and do it that way... nm

Bytescribe pedal & Express Scribe
I use a Bytescribe pedal with Express Scribe all the time and it works great.
Download Express Scribe.....it's free

Well I was trying like h--- to get my DQS pedal to work with Express Scribe and no way.
Thanks for telling me you had the same problem.  I thought I was the only stupid one that was having this problem.  I thought Infinity would work but it doesnt.
Can you download Express Scribe and play the file thru there? nm

I use my infinity pedal with Express Scribe too with no problems. nm

help receiving encrypted files through Express Scribe

Is there anyone out there who could tell me how I could listen to encrypted files in my Express Scribe which I receive through email???  I am able to receive and listen to them just fine when not encrypted, but cannot figure out how to set ES up to use a password.  When I click on the voice file in my inbox, it now takes me to ES, but displays an ERROR box stating  - unable to open DSS file, this means the file might not be a true DSS file or the file is corrupt


The files are coming from a dss program called Olympus if that matters.  Any insight would be greaaaatly appreciated!!!


Do most MTSO's require Express Scribe for on-line
It's been a while since I've job hunted.  I never had problems with the actual tests, but using Express Scribe to access the tests was always confusing.   Is it still a problem for anyone else?
If you can get the pedal configured using the Settings in Express Scribe, it should work. nm

I had the phone interview. I did the report part of the exam with Express Scribe (sm)
last week, but haven't heard back from them. Does this usually take this long? tia
Don't need to record files. Pull them into Express Scribe (free on line) and play them thru there
s
If you have an Infinity pedal, you can pull the files in thru Express Scribe, (free download) and

Star Stop works better than express scribe. If you want start Stop, yea it is kind of sm
expensive. I wish they did pay their QA hourly as I think they would see better quality work, but they per line and it is higher than the other person posted.

I have never had a problem with management, so I am unfamiliar with what the other person experienced with management.

Pay is always on time (most of the time early). I like the software. I guess you just have to see if it fits for you.
DOWNLOADING

Can anyone tell me what the problem could be - my computer is not downloading the program for my new job! I disabled all the anti-virus programs and firewalls too.,


 


Thanks, 


Yes, that as well as downloading
jobs. It takes forever in between and I can't get into a rhythm. I find myself wandering in between job....not a good thing! lol
Downloading DocQscribe
I had no problem doing this.
What do you mean by downloading schedules?

DOWNLOADING PROGRAM

I am having a terrible time downloading DocQScribe to my computer. I worked all day on this and talked to 3 tech support people. I don't know what else to do but not be able to do the job now.


 


Thanks,


 


Reboot your computer after downloading ExpressScribe
dd
I think the only thing they are strict on is downloading things to the computer. sm
General surfing the web and stuff isn't a problem. I surf the web all the time for medical references, etc... and I haven't ever had a problem. I know that they are strict about not downloading anything to the computer because it may cause a conflict with the software they use.

Hope that helps.
Maybe a problem with voice files downloading like yesterday. nm

I tested 2 days ago and had no problem downloading the files.
I opened up my ExpressScribe.  Right click on the file, and save target as, save to your desktop. This will put a test file on your computer that says Hospital Test or something like that.  Then click on it and it wil open up with the zipped files.  Highlight the file, and to the left (in windows XP) you will see an option to unzip file.  Click it and it will unzip and put the unzipped file on your desktop.  Start ExpressScribe and load the wave file. No problem,
I wouldnt do it

They claim to pay a shift differential...and I have been working for them since february.  I have 6 years of experience and I am making 8 and a quarter.  Another girl has one year and she is making 8 and a quarter.  the company recently started insourcing work from Spheris and ever since everything has gone down hill.  Paychecks come late and incorrectly.  Previously I had postedthat this was a good company...now I am not so sure...I have recently started working for a second company and am trying to decide what to do...


 


email privately if you want more info


Definitely too low. I wouldnt take less than 4 cpl
No way. People that pay that are insulting..I started at 4 cpl and now am up to 5.5 cpl so it's doable.
She could tell him but probably wouldnt accept.

Wouldnt you think they would have more consideration rather
than just throwing people on with no concern about running out of work.  I guess it is just easier to do that than worry about people working.  Nothing like making an a-- out of people.
I also get the same "perks" you do and I work whenever I want. I wouldnt do it for what you ma
No Way Jose!!!

But do THEY see the names? Vandy wouldnt have to see them.
And they dont have to know that the work is not being QAd by someone in America with sense just because they see the names.
I wouldnt even go there. Recruiter leaves a lot to be desired.
Make sure you read the fine print on how you'll be penalized your whole check if the QA in India finds an error in your work. It gets interesting. Now, who do you think it benefits for them to find errors such as punctuation etc..QA based out of India.. things that make you go hmmmm.... The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. There are far better companies out there to work for but best wishes...
I does end with an "S"..but if they havent jacked you around, I wouldnt worry about it.
I think for me, I'm probably going to bail. It's obvious the recruiter has too much on her plate as we're all getting the same story about forgetting things and contacting us in a timely manner etc..very strange but in this biz..flaky is the name of the game and they think we're the flaky, job hoppers.. I wonder why..Give us a decent job with decent benefits and actually WORK and we'd be happy, but that doesn't happen anymore. We just get jacked around.
So easy to say you had 73 as you cannot/wouldnt want to prove that. All heresay at this point
s
Thank you so much. I couldnt understand that 8, 16 and 24 hours very well. I wouldnt want to limit

myself to that.


Yeah, you'd think they would be contributing wouldnt you. They are not huge but big enough I woul
think they'd put in more for insurance. I checked into another and they were $700 a month. I think they had over 100 employees. Again, you would think it'd be cheaper with that many employees/family members but I guess not. I am about ready to bag this at home stuff and go to work for our local hospital.
I wouldnt go there. No communication. People getting ready to quit
Unless, your desperate for a job, I'd stay away.  You can do better with a honest company who treats their MTs fairly. JMO. I currently know of three people who are quitting and it wont be long I am sure before others follow suit.
If they weren't Synthescribe, they wouldnt have the same phone number.
regardless of what they SAY.
