playback software

In Reply to: Eric - Need playback software...

I used Bytescribe, but there is a free one out there called Express Scribe.  I am not sure how good it is though.

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!!!



 


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!
Under Playback, my pedal is on 300 and 100..sm
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
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.
Yeah, you're right. Who cares who licenses your software? Heck, I use all pirated software anyw

why pay for anything, right?


Except that is AGAINST THE LAW!!!


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.

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.

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!


A friend of mine got one and she is finding that some of her software, specifically her ISP software

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.

Please help!! Can't figure out how to slow down the MD
If u need server software, try guild ftp. If just user software
then try cuteftp, coffeecupftp, or wsftp. They don't charge a line rate and I believe guildftp server software is still free.
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!
Another big factor is software. If the software isn't
transcription friendly, it can really hurt your bottom line.

Otherwise, $1.20 per report is a pretty decent rate for radiology.

Good luck - hope it works out for you.

NEW SOFTWARE

I have been out of the loop lately.  What is this new software?  I am currently looking for a medical transcription job and need a little catching up, obviously.  I would REALLY appreciate a reply on this issue. 


software
I work for a company that uses it and it's very simple to use.  I edit 90% and transcribe 10% and it's very simple to use.  Basically it's microsoft word with all the bells and whistles.
Software

I have used both Quick Books and Quicken and prefer Quick Books for invoicing, etc.  I have two checking accounts, personal and business of course, and pay my business bills through there -- even by subs and that downloads into Quick Books which can be downloaded into my Turbo Tax.   Also on my personal side that gives me my utilities payout total also and I can then just deduct my 20 to 25% of them for my taxes.   Works for me. 


 


software
A place called Webchart contacted me and had a lot of the features you are looking for but it was quite expensive and I knew my docs would not go for it.  I could not afford several hundred dollars a month for it.   But you might do a goggle and see what comes up but the company name was webchart. 
a/v software

aside from the fact that it's probably true..!!  hehe.


if anyone wants info a a terrific a/v proggie, please off-list (e-mail) me, and i will send the link.


Software Available
I am using a sotware that is designed by me. Let me know your email ID, I shall send you my software.

VR software
I work for a company who is a major developer of voice recognition software.  I do transcription for them also and some reports are done with the voice recognition software.  Yes, it is like basically editing.  That is unless you get a dictator with a heavy accent and the software even has a hard time understanding.  The dictators have to go through a training period and the software actually learns their voice and speech patterns.  The hard medical words it usually gets with no problem, but the smaller everyday words don't come through correct all the time.  Some doctors are great, others should not be using it at all.  It makes for quite an amusing report at times.  I know it is the way of the future but I personally would rather type the report myself than try and edit some mess.

go through the link http://www.core-software.com/TMinfo.htm for a good software
Is there any software out there....
that performs like a Dictaphone or C-phone where you can dial into a system with your computer and control the dictation with a foot pedal?  My Dictaphone is going haywire, and I was wondering about some kind of computer software to replace it, if there is such a thing.
To any software out there.... sm
go to http://www.nch.com.au/software/dictation.html

they have inexpensive call in solutions that work very well.

Good luck!
What the best software to use?
Me and a couple of my MT friends have decided to make a small little MT company. You know just the three girls, made a lil pamplet and all. We're hoping by banding together we can met new clients ect. I was wondering what Mt software -for when the clients upload the audio files-should we use? We're on a budget and can't afford the 2,500 SW that's we've seen online. ANy suggestions?
FTP software
I'm trying to learn new FTP software, FTP Navigator.  I can read the files but they are in word pad.  Is this right? I am trying to read their sample reports and would rather read them in Word.  Can anyone help? TIA
OEM Software
I worked for a computer company that sold new computers.  OEM software is perfectly legal software and can be registered. This software is only supposed to sold with computers and/or hard disk drives.  The software companies offer this software as OEM so manufactures, like Dell, can purchase the software at a reduced price and package it with their new computer systems.  Technically, it is not supposed to be sold by itself, but it is perfectly legal.
Do you know what the VR software is?

software
I use Express Scribe too. It is free to download and so easy to use!
It would have to be software like PC Anywhere (sm)
and I would think they would have to have your permission to put this on there. As far as their own software, it wouldn't be able to *spy* on you. If someone else knows something different, please correct me.
Software

Could you let me know what system you are using and if you like it?  For example, Vianeta, MD Intouch, Dictran.  I am trying to find a good system for my company and would appreciate your input.


Thanks


You will need more than the software.
Software is only the interface between your computer and the computer where the files are being stored. You need to have a secure server set up somewhere that you can upload/download files. These are not free. There is one site, www.ftptogo.com, that provides FTP space without needing software
What is the software you will be using?

you already do this with your autocorrect and autotexts or quickwords in WP, but this software allows you to port all your entries over to any transcription software that is "compatible" with whatever Expander you are using WITHOUT HAVING TO RETYPE THEM ALL AGAIN.  It can be pretty extensive and a time saver. 


Software
Where does one get medical spell checker software and short word software? About how much and how long does it take to get it? I thought companies provided those. All the ones I worked for did.
You can always buy the XP software

find Vista doesn't work for you.  I think the software runs around $150, though. 


I work on DocQScribe and was told that it would work on Vista, but there are a few bugs still that need worked out.  I think that's probably the general consensus.  It will probably work but have a few glitches.


Key for software- sm
Inside the case that your software came in, there should be a sticker with a string of numbers and letters. This is your software key needed to install the software.
