sony wav pedal
 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?


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!


Can you try your pedal with Express Scribe?

It is a free software program and you can just Google to find it. I really like it. It might help to determine if it is your foot pedal or as another MT suggested perhaps the problem is your adapter.


I sure hope you get things up and running.


pedal and express scribe
Can I use my Start/Stop footpedal with Express Scribe? Thanks!
Foot pedal/express scribe
Can anyone tell how to get a DVI/USB pedal to work with express scribe - the pedal works with DocQScribe and Emdat - but cannot get it to work with this one??? T
Express Scribe foot pedal
I have an Infinity pedal I have used with Express Scribe I would sell.     Let me know if interested.
foot pedal with express scribe help
I have downloaded Express Scribe to try to do something (not medical).  The only thing is, I don't know how to get the foot pedal to control it.  I don't know what kind of pedal it is, the MTSO sent it to me.  Any ideas or help???
Use any pedal compatable with Express Scribe - sm
Save yourself some money instead of getting the one specifically for INscribe.
Are you playing it thru Express Scribe using a foot pedal? nm

Can you download Express Scribe and see if you can get your pedal to play through that? nm

Foot pedal wizard is in Express Scribe.
Have you tried to reboot your system since installing the new foot pedal? Sometimes the computers don't recognize new hardware until it reboots.
Infinity USB pedal and Express Scribe software. sm
You may need to install an additional file to play .dss files.

This setup works for me.
InScribe upgrade- can still use Express Scribe with my pedal
That is amazing!  I did play with InScribe while ago to see what all happened with the different options and in case the upgrade would not let ExpressScribe work with my pedal, but surprising to me, after the upgrade, my pedal still works fine with ExpressScribe.  I have an Infinity USB.  The tech guy at Inscribe had said some people had problems with Express Scribe and Vista, so I guess if I get a new computer in the future and am forced to have Vista, at that point I'll learn to use the keys....anyway, thanks everyone for their input.
Not sure, but from what I understand just about every pedal works with express scribe. HTH.

Need Express Scribe help with foot pedal controls

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong.  I have express scribe and a USB infinity foot pedal.  The foot pedal controls on express scribe do not let you set the foot pedal to back up a few seconds.  When you lift your foot off the pedal, that is exactly where it starts again when you push back down on it.  I want it to back up a few seconds so I can listen to something again, but I cannot see anywhere that it lets you adjust it to that.  I don't want to have to rewind it all the time.  Please help thank you 


Will Olympus foot pedal work with Express Scribe? TIA

Lanier Foot Pedal will NOT work with Express Scribe
Sorry to tell you but no a lanier foot pedal from a transcription machine will not work with an wav.player.
Most foot pedals out there are at least 69.00. - (cheapest I found) - and be careful what kind you get - if you have a newer computer - you will want the USB one - (faster, works great)
NEED RECOMMENDATIONS on foot pedal compatible w/Express Scribe (sm)

I realize they sell them on the Express Scribe website, but I was just wondering if anyone found any that were cheaper, worked well, and were still compatible with Express Scribe. TIA!


Will fiddling with the pedal settings for Express Scribe screw up

Express Scribe and pedal DO work with InScribe upgrade
That is not the case with me. I just upgraded to 4.91 and am still using Express Scribe and it's working fine. I do have an Infinity USB pedal. I do, however, have Windows XP or ME (I never remember which - XP I think) and not Vista. The tech guy at InScribe said some people have problems with the upgrade of 4.91 and Express Scribe with Vista. They have special directions on their download site for Vista users. Hope this helps someone. The new upgrade looks good, though I've not had a good run with it yet.
Anybody know of any free foot pedal/transcription software besides Express Scribe? TIA. nm

Trying to take a test in Express Scribe and cannot get my foot pedal to work. I dont want to
cause a problem in DQS with the foot pedal either.  Any suggestions.  I have the foot pedal that you use for DQS.  It is an Infinity foot pedal.
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.

What type of headphones do you use? Anyone use Sony Noise Cancelling Fontopia Ear buds?

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