I have the newest version
 
Maybe downloading the newest version will help.
?
Newest version 4.17 will play .dss.
 
Just downloaded the newest version, 4.17, and it works with .dss.

I'm glad that the NCH people fixed this. Three cheers for them!


The newest version is VERY user friendly. The one right before
it stunk. Make sure you're getting to work on one that has the very newest version that came out this fall.
It must be a dss file. the newest version will not work with dss files sm
even when you install their codec for it. try uninstalling and install ES from this link their tech guy gave me for version 4.15.

I just went to the website and clicked on the link to download the newest version and it worked.
www.pcshorthand.com is the website.  You can download a free trial of the software, but eventually you will have to buy a license.  You can also pay a little extra and have them ship the actual software to you with an instruction manual. 
I absolutely love GearPlayer 4, the newest version. It plays all files
and combine that with a good stereo headset, you'll be all set to go.  I am able to hear so well all sorts of dictators.  I cannot, and will not, work with Express Scribe, and I have found no other player as superior as GearPlayer.  They have a free download you can trial it for 5 days and see if works in your platform/voice files, found at transcriptiongear.com 
They're still at version 7 and version 8 is supposed to come out this Fall, which may be compatib

OK, thanks. No I don't have the newest...
no msg.
JD is the newest member
of INXS. I liked both Mary and JD and especially loved their original songs "Pretty Vegas" and "Trees". I especially loved Marty and plan to download all his tunes he performed on INXS.
Per the newest BOS and Stedman's . . .
latest editions, the apostrophe s is now dropped from all eponyms.  There will still be some (many or even most) facilities that prefer the 's.  However, the "official" guideline is to drop it.  I think it sounds terribly incorrect, but I suppose over time it will be more widely accepted.
i do believe the barbato memo is the newest

The newest Stedman's is compatible.

Interesting - what is date on that? and does this newest memo from
I wonder?
This is why I uploaded the 4.15 version. It's a previous version

Yep, the newest "fix" for the last few years of PMS and perimenopausal symptoms is
Serafem, which is just Prozac. The drug company "reinvented" a use for Prozac when they needed a new use! So, its called Serafem. You're supposed to take it a few days before your period, or sometimes all month - just depends.  Pretty flowery packaging! I went thru the same thing at about 43 to 44 - only symptoms as well, and never had 1 day of PMS prior to that.  It just stopped as suddenly as it had started.  Just me - we're all different. I tried the Serafem and it didn't help at all - just made me feel like a zombie 30 days of the month!  Good luck to you! Just had my LMP 2 days ago - only lasts for about 1/2 day now! Yeah!! I, for one, will not be missing THAT each month. No way!! Also remember if you have female teens at home, those hormones are floating all over in the air! Its HORRIBLE!  I have 2 daughters and we all get it the same time now, etc.  Oh, yes, and my face breaks out now as it did when I was a teen when I had my period. Never had that my entire life til now.  Just today we were all cracking up - all 3 of us had 1 huge zit on our noses!!  Nowhere else, and all 3 had the same one on our nose!  We are really fair skinned and blonde, and look RIDICULOUS!!  Oh well!
Works is a dumbed down version of Word and Excel. You get the full version of Word in the Suite.
The Works Suite is a cheaper way of getting a full version of Word if you don't want or need the other applications in Office.
If it's a retail version you can. If it's an OEM version, you can't.

What version of IT are you using?

And what application are you using IT with?


You may want to email IT tech support directly.


Kind regards,


Kristen


What version of IT are you using?

What version of Instant Text V Pro are you using? Do you have your linking options established?


To find out what version you are using, double-click on the blue title-bar in Instant Text and then go to Help and About Instant Text. There you will see the exact version and built date that you are using. If you are using Instant Text V Pro but do not have a built date of October 2005, I would suggest downloading the latest revision from our website so you are using the most up-to-date version.


If you are using a previous version of IT, such as IT 3.0 or IT 3.5, I would recommend upgrading to version V Pro.


Also, please leave a message when you call so we can help you. If you do not get a tech on the phone, it is because we are on the other line helping other IT users. You can always email us directly if you need help as well.


Kind regards,


Kristen


Maybe my version is too old
My Stedmans Spellchecker the is 2004 so maybe it is too old.  I sent an email to Stedman support and they sent one back stating that they do not guarantee that their  programs will work with Vista.  My electronic Stedman dictionary works though.  Thanks for your help
What version?
xx
Version 4.16
I agree. I also have the newer version (4.16) and it plays dss files just fine for me, too.
the version of CS I use does NOT
use my version of Word. It is it's own separate platform and my autocorrect entries do not work in it. I will either use ShortHand or just copy and paste into my Word.
try this version
There was a similar discussion Friday, and someone provided a link to an older version of ES. I think this link takes you to that message.

http://forum.mtstars.com/main/v/1/98415.html
Maybe on your version
But on mine, which is Microsoft Word 2002, it is squares, not circles.

Well, gosh... I guess everyone might not have the same thing!
same version
I have the same version.

thanks for the information...We just started using this a few months ago, but it just seems like there is no communication anymore with this job other than what work is avaialble and the mistakes you make...but I'm just going to start asking more questions.  My supervisor told me we are absolutely not allowed to type in Word...I tried it with one account that they said I could, and then she said to stop because it was messing things up.  So, I don't know what's up with that.


Have a good night...and thanks again!


which version? sm
we had Meditech magic and used Instant Text abbreviation expander. How about canned text? I had a lot of full routines in canned text that really helped.
Version 3
version 3.  Thanks for your help.  I type directly into Meditech.
what version?
We were on 4.6 and you entered R and the date and then hit look up, the best I can remember. but we were inhouse and could also go under drafts or signed under order entry if we could not remember the name. Circumstances were probably different for us.
yes, not sure what version you are but sm
Under Tools click on customize, then click on keyboard. Then choose Format under the category window, then in the command window, find Format Bullets and Numbering. Now choose your keyboard command (like CTL X)and make sure you are not already using that for something important! Then put your new command in the press new shortcut key window, then click assign. Hope this helps!
I believe I am using version 7.0.
I know when I started on ASR, I had to call Dictaphone and have them download an upgrade or patch to my current program.
Version 7.5
We have 7.5, and I am fortunate that the function works; alt , changes the case of the next letter to a small letter. Wishing there were a blog board or somewhat to share experiences. I feel lost out here with this system in trying to boost productivity.
Which version of Word are you using?

If you are using Word 2003, I HIGHLY recommend you disable autocorrect and anything that would automatically insert anything based on an expansion system within Word.  There is a known problem (on MS-Word's end) that these 2 programs compete for expansions and Word can lock up, causing you to lose up to your entire report.  I've been in touch with several people trying to resolve this issue but it is on Microsoft's end, not Smartype.  Any prior version of MS-Word does not have this issue.  Just be sure you don't have the same expansions set up for both Word and Smartype.  I loved my ST with Word 2000.  I'm on a platform where I can no longer use ST but I am slowly importing all my entries into a different expansion program.

What version of Word is it? (nm)

I know someone who has the Verizon version and they
are very pleased with it.   The service area is limited though. 
Why XP-Professional version?
Just wondering why companies require us to have XP-Pro now instead of home edition?
I use primoPDF version 2.0 (sm)

There's a new 3.0 version out, but I haven't tried that one. Here's a link to the old PrimoPDF 2.0 version, if you are interested. Both versions are free.

Smartype - this is the old version, not the one - sm
that works with MSWord or regular Word Perfect. It is hard to come by, got mine on ebay years ago, love it though. Took me forever to get it to work with XP but I figured it out and it is a lifesaver.
MS Word version

What version of MS Word are you using and do you have it and Windows (not VISTA--extext not compatible with Vista) upgraded?  This should have been checked when tech support did original install for you but maybe they didn't check. Make sure your operating system has all upgrades it should and that MS Word has all the upgrades it should, too, then reboot, make sure nothing opens up or is open after you reboot.  Then go to Windows Explorer, C drive, then docnet (these are your ExText Word Client folders).  You are going to do a clean install, so delete the following folders and no others:  Dump, offlinedoc, recovery, templates, transnet, workinggroup.  If you delete the entire docnet folder you will delete all of extext and will NOT be able to reinstall, so only the folders above should be deleted. Reboot again.  You also want to make sure you don't have any old temp files sitting on your hard drive; these can affect how your programs run.  You can check this by doing a search on your C drive (assuming drive is C), for *.tmp.  Make sure again that nothing is opened and delete those files.  I would do this after deleting the above folders but before reinstalling Extext. Make sure nothing opens up again or is opened, and reinstall Extext again.  This should clear things up for you, and if that doesn't work, I would definitely contact tech support.  Extext is not supposed to work right if you open up Word first. Extext should be opening Word for you, sometimes you can get a runtime error if you exit from the VPN before extext has disconnected.


Even though you exit from Extext, and you should never exit using the X in the corner, it takes a few seconds for the last file to upload, so it is better to exit from extext, leave the vpn connected, check email or do somthing else and then disconnect the vpn.  Also, if you were doing a control S to look at a document and left that document open, then control N'd your working document, and then tried to start a new document when the screen pops up, you will get a runtime error. 


Not in my version of Word...?
I do not find "speller type" option/window where you are saying it should be - ?!    BTW, I have uninstalled Word Pro and gone back to plain old Word 2003. 
Since it is a trial version...
They may only allow you to play their pre-loaded files and not add your own. Why not try the Express Scribe player--it really is free. Link below.
Paper version
I don't like having all that "stuck" on one PC just in case they crash. Good luck!
I like the 2005 version, old I know, (sm)
but I didn't like the fact that you couldn't get it on the toolbar and it did not seem as user friendly as 2005.
I have the printed version, and it's not very useful. (n/m)

Different version, maybe? Mine's 4.10 nm

I use the preferred version just
I used the standard version for a while and it sucked. The preferred version however has been just fine. Bought mine on ebay.
do you use the medical version or just
the basic version I am seeing for under $100? Can the basic version be taught and used for transcription? Thanks!
