help receiving encrypted files through Express Scribe

Posted By: Bon on 2008-01-23
In Reply to:

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!!!

Don't need to record files. Pull them into Express Scribe (free on line) and play them thru there

If you have an Infinity pedal, you can pull the files in thru Express Scribe, (free download) and

encrypted files
Is there a program out there that can be downloaded and used with any transcription program to encrypt files?
Do my clients have to have a copy of MPTools to open the encrypted files?

Express Scribe

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

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
I tried downloading it into Express Scribe and it wouldnt go into that.
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.
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

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
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.

Exactly. Its the mind-set of the MT on the receiving
end for how corrections or feedback or anything is accepted. I have found the newer MTs to most often have a wonderful spirit - they appreciate any sort of feedback and thus learn and grow from it, as is the proper course of events. But there are older MTs who are stuck in their rut - they've been typing something wrong for 35 years and by gosh, that affirms to them that it was right. They don't accept anything - feedback, correction, suggestions no matter how sweet the delivery - its kill the messenger with the message. Also there are newer MTs in the industry who just don't have a professional attitude - they churn out garbage and could care less. Probably the ones who took their courses from a matchbook advertisement. They have enough - skills - to get their foot in a door of a desperate national, but not an ounce of professionalism, so again no matter how a correction is delivered, QA is the enemy. Sadly, the #s of hateful MTs versus grateful MTs is way off balance, and the companies don't say boo for fear of losing the warm bodies typing - quality does not matter - its quantity. I am so much happier transcribing.
Is everyone here receiving more work now than

You will be receiving a call in.sm
October or early November from what I was told.
I have realized after receiving my paystub
that MW pays you want they want to. Once again, this is under the new pay structure for Merit editors.  I have no idea why I took the time to do a time sheet.  
Christmas is about giving not receiving...

I think that's what most posters were angry about in regards to Did anyone get a bonus for Christmas? 


Christmas is about giving! 


I am an IC.  I expect nothing.  The one online MTSO I work for is my client.  End of story.  My other two accounts are my clients as well.  They are not my employer; none of them.


For those of you who are actually employed and are not ICs, maybe you would expect something.  But in my opinion Christmas is about giving and not expecting to receive.


May you and yours have a safe and happy holiday season! 


Who is receiving Third-World wages...
Really?  I certainly am not.  I have never made less than $20 an hour as an MT.  If you are making Third-World wages, it is time for you to find a different job.  There are plenty of good opportunities out there.
I have never heard of one person actually RECEIVING the bonus
to reel unsuspecting suckers in. Don't fall for it. It's never happened and it never will.
Anyone filed a complaint after not receiving a paycheck? sm
Stopped working at Breitner 3 months ago.  I never received my last paycheck, and the one before that was short by $100.  They owe me about $1,000 total.  I am not counting the 30% trimmed off my line counts for 8 straight weeks in Extext to cover headers and footers when it really only equals 5 to 8 lines.  Has anyone ever filed with the labor board on them?  Just asking because I have read posts on here that they threaten & just want to see what I am in for if I do file. 
I have rec'd an offer and am receiving software install in the next day or so. SM
So far, I'm very impressed, and they are very nice.  The cpl could, of course, be higher.....but then again, I always think that of every company I talk to.  They do have a shift differential, and I'm going to be working in the evenings.  We'll see how it goes, but I'm looking forward to it so far.  I just sent in a resume out of nowhere, and it did take a couple of weeks for them to get back to me.  From the point I answered back, however, it will have taken 4 days from test to install. 
I just e-mailed you...but I'm having problems sending and receiving e-mails on here (sm)
hope you get the e-mail!
Anyone else at CardioScribes nervous about not receiving the line count yet? sm

I didn't receive it today, so even if I get it tomorrow, that means funds will not be reieased until Monday, meaning no pay day until Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday.  I am a bit fed up with not having a reliable pay day I can count on.  I will be leaving soon, but in the meantime, I still have bills to pay. 


Sorry ... guess I just needed to vent. 


No, I was talking to you...I've been having major problems sending and receiving e-mails (sm)
on this board..I don't know why.  If you want, try e-mailing me from here and I'll give you the company info.  Thanks.

I use express scribe with my INfinity USB pedal. My is totally compatible.

Anyone have experience with this company out of Houston?  TIA

out of Arizona.  Anyone have any information (good or bad) regarding this company?  Thanks!!
Transcripition Express
I tested with them, very simple. That was going on two weeks now.  For this one account I was checking on they paid 8 cents a line, no more.   I used DocQScribe for testing and never heard back from them.   I would have liked to heard back from them though regardless to see if I passed or failed.  I was going to be typing ER reports.  Good luck. 
freedom to express

I agree with the above poster. If you can't vent to people who are in the field about your good or bad experiences, then this is not a democracy. Personally, I do keep a lot of mine to myself basically because I don't like dealing with negative people who will judge me. It stems from not having a very supportive family and not being able to express myself growing up. What is heaven for one is hell for another but either way, people need to express themselves and get it out.


In this profit-driven healthcare industry, MTs are under appreciated and in many cases abused by management and perhaps isolated and ignored by other MTs. We definitely need a support system and these forums are supposed to serve as a support system out of the work place where we can vent and hopefully be comforted by kind words. We work in an industry that refuses to acknowledge the fact that if it were not for us, they would not have jobs. We are the industry but many of us do not feel we have much clout in the way we are treated, i.e. coldly, indifferently and there-are-more-where-you came from attitude. Lets start cooperating instead of competing especially in the forums and let people have their say and try to embrace with kindness. We all need a pat on the back.


 


I second that nomination! I'd do it, but I do not express myself
eloquently enough and this issue is too important for it to be written in a way that might come across as abrasive or offputting, even though that would not be the intention.
Those who applied at Transcription Express, sm
Has anyone heard anything back from Transcription Express?  I applied on Sunday and have not heard anything and was just curious as to whether anyone else has heard anything.  I have a lot of experience and thought I would at least receive the opportunity to test.  I do realize, however, that with the number of views the ad has received, they are probably wading through tons of resumes.  TIA
Just feel the need to express my thoughts on VR, ASR, etc. ..sm
It is just tough to sit back and watch this evolve. I've been in this profession for many years now, and have watched voice recognition start to surface in some capacity years ago. It still is not where it needs to be, and I do not believe it will ever be as efficient as a skilled MT. Regardless, what really bothers me is that there are so many in this field being sucked in by these companies who are hiring for .03-.05 line of so called voice recognition editing when in reality you are basically typing the entire report over again, or taking just as much time as you would to type from scratch. The other scenario, in my opinion, these job offers being filled are simply to cover the incompetent work that comes in from overseas. Hire 100 Indian MTs and have a few good U.S. editors or voice recognition MTs who are willing to work for pennies, and what a profit you make as a company. I just wish more MTs would put their foot down and say enough. Let these large nationals lose their experienced MTs, and they will either fail as a company or up the pay scale for a qualified MT.
