for both rewind and forward. You might have to UNclick the Quick tap on play..box that's under the Control tab and see if that helps, too. nm

Need some help with pedal playback function!
Ack! I am using Audioworx and wanted to make my pedal back up a couple seconds everytime I lift it and press it back down. I changed the Auto Backspace amount and now it keeps going back to the beginning of the audio file. Even when I set the amount to 0, it goes back to the beginning. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

A WAV pedal controls playback of voice files. You need a software program through which to play the

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.


if you use playback and proof at the
same time that this feature would not be of benefit to you. Oh well, thanks for being honest.
A word about playback

After you record your sound file in the sound recorder program, you might want to download Express Scribe as it can play back the .wav file using hand controls on your keyboard.  It uses the function keys, but if you like you can change the keys to anything you like.  The sound recorder can be used to play back but is a bit cumbersome. 


So, my suggestion would be to re-record using sound recorder and play back using Express Scribe which is free to download from the web.  And if you are alone when you transcribe you won't even need a headphone, just play it through your computer speakers. 


The web address for Express Scribe is www.nch.com.au/scribe

Thank you, I will check on this. You all have been so helpful. Thank you very much!
Playback Software

Getting my terms straight here   I did my research and the software used to 'play' the dictation is called Professional Digital Transcription Playback Software -  DTPS.


The few I've worked with always have that annoying feature where you can't modify the voice speed.  Are they all like that?


I'm just wondering what the PDTPS is like at a company I've applied for.  BTW - I made up that abbreviation - may not be accurate!


Right now I'm on C-phone. I'm okay with a C-phone.  I'm not real keen on the sound quality experience I've had with playback software.  Can you not slow them down?



Thanks for letting me pick your brain!!!

I used Bytescribe, but there is a free one out there called Express Scribe.  I am not sure how good it is though.
Playback Settings for ES
Hello.  You can go to the Playback Settings in ES and find the Auto Backstep on Stop heading.  Mine is set to 1780 that allows for a reasonable auto backstep. You can adjust to your liking.  Once you do that, go to "Control" and run the Footpedal Setup Wizard.  That should do it!  Best of luck.
DocQScribe Playback Speed

Over the past months I have been trying to convince superiors at MQ of the need to have the playback speed increased even more than we are able to at the present.  I proofread all reports and when you have a slow dictator, it can take forever.  If you agree, please make a post and maybe that will convince them to do something about it.


Escription playback question...

When using Escription how do I get the playback to rewind 2-3 seconds when I release the foot pedal?  So when I stop and restart it will replay a few word rather than starting out exactly from where I released the pedal? 


 


I'm hoping this makes sense.


Click on Settings and it is under the Playback tab.

express scribe playback

Just switched to a new computer and put Express Scribe on it and got my foot pedal up and running and just sat down to do some work when I noticed the foot pedal play back is weird.  The timing is okay but when I let my foot up it does not stop until I press it again and then I have to give it another tap to begin playing again.  I am used to letting up and it stops and pushing down and it plays! Simple stuff... until now.


Has anyone had this?  I am getting really frustrated.. may have to contact Express Scribe with this issue but wanted to see if anyone has downloaded the current version of Express Scribe and came across this.  Thanks!


Who wants playback speed increased on DocQScribe?

Sorry to repeat this post, but was hoping for a better response, so have moved it to the top again.

Try changing the speeds under Settings/Playback. I have my RW on 800/150 and

ES is not a transcription application; it is an audio playback app.
ES provides the means by which to obtain and play audio files. You actually transcribe these in any text-editing application.

Some text-editing apps such as Word have provision for counting production such as characters, words, lines, etc. Or, you can use a third app such as Sylcount for the counting function.

Questions like these should really be directed to your supervisor for the best answers.

Need help with playback speed on Dictaphone C-phone
Please help!! Can't figure out how to slow down the MD
This would be just a "regular" 3-pedal pedal and not the Dictaphone pedal. nm

Express Scribe users.....what are your preferred Playback settings?.....sm
I am starting to use this and would like to optimize the settings.  TIA
It's Express Scribe. Gotta play with the playback controls

Go to file, settings, playback, auto backset on stop about half way down.....sm
I have mine on 1500. Hope that helps!
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
Settings, Playback settings.
Increase or decrease the steps in Rewind.
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.

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??
