Technically, the software plays back the .wav file.

In Reply to: The pedal is what you use to transcribe wav files - me

You use the pedal to control the functions of the software--play, rewind, fast forward, etc.

free voice file software

I am in need of a software that plays .dvf files.  I currently use Gear Player, and although it plays a multitude of different files, I can't get it to play .dvf.  Does anyone know of a free one online I can try?  Thanks!! 


What type of file does your software play?
Maybe you can try a CD (mp3) format or rip a CD into a format that your software does play.

Try this link for a sample voice file or Google the phrase sample voice file

Would anyone be able to tell me how to back up my ESP file (ExText platform) to a CD.
I know they are backed up to the server, but I get really nervous having spent so much time creating them. The hospital I work for tends to run into computer problems all the time, and I just don't want to take any chances. Thank you.
Just open glo file in Word, highlight all, then change case and save back
to glo file. Use the Alt key trick to highlight just the column of words, then Shift + F3 to toggle through the change case commands. First save your glossary under a different name so you also keep the original.

Technically, probably not, but
I would only suggest that serial ports are older technology, and some computers (and nearly all notebooks) do not come with serial ports on them anymore. Mice, keyboards, and other peripherals are more likely to have USB connections or even Firewire now.

Hope that helps? :-)


Well technically they can't turn it off here unless the

Technically Challenged
I just had to reply.  I'm technically challenged too.  Nice to know I'm not all alone in my technically challenged world.   I do agree with the other post -- it depends.  Check with the person on the other end. Good luck.

I really am a throw back in time.  Help!  I am trying to test for a company, I can get the test file downloaded through FTP to windows media player, but how do I get the foot pedal to work with it and transcribe in word.  Dumb, Dumb, Dumb I know. 


re below technically challenged
Okay everyone of you tech savvy people - I downloaded express scribe, but what do I do now?  I can down load the FTP file, but it still just goes to windows media player and the pedal does not work.  The pedal does work for the welcome to express scribe message.  I need to be able to transcribe it in Word.  I tried selecting "load," but that does not seem to work either. I'm doomed!!
What program normally plays them for you?
If you do not have a transcription module to play digital files, Express Scribe is a free program that you can download, in which you can use a foot pedal or "hot keys" to control the dictation.

Hope that helps, and good luck!

the only part HIPAA plays is you do them but you don't say anything about them to anybody. I'v
done lots and lots of medical records for people I know, at least two people from church, some family members, plenty of acquaintenances. If they know me well, they sometimes ask if I got their record. It's the same way with nursing too, or any of the other healthcare fields. When I was a volunteer paramedic, obviously I ran into neighbors and friends on the job all the time. If you're a nurse and  you run across someone you know in the ER, you don't refuse them care. You just are close-mouthed about it.

Scribe plays dss files--need update sm
It sounds like you need to upgrade your version of Express Scribe. DSS files should play automatically. Download dss32.exe update here:

I just downloaded ES two days ago and it plays .dss just fine. sm

have her go to Settings, File Types, and make sure .dss is checked. 


Express Scribe plays Chipmunks!

Hi,


I have used Express Scribe forever...just recently my .dvf files began playing Chipmunk style.  My .dss and .wav files still play perfectly.  It's just the .dvf that are giving me fits.  Tried changing every ES setting and still no luck.  I had one recommendation to do a system restore to the point before this began, but can't do that right now - too many new things added that I need and don't want to mess up. (actually, probably the instigator of this problem - either that or some Windows update!)


Has anyone else had this spontaneously occur and found a way to fix it?  Crazy days, very frustrating.  Computers are a very necessary evil in my book!


Any help would be GREATLY appreciate. 


thanks!


Yes, it should. As I recall, Express Scribe plays .dss files..sm
and that's what Olympus files usually are, but you can double check because some Olympus players also use .WMA files, I believe. Express Scribe plays nearly any file, but it should list on download website what all it will play.
GearPlayer 4 plays .sri files. That the latest version, and it is great! nm

Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.

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 
I think it is the same type of file, so rename it and replace your autocorrect file with your DQS us

Help..I lost my word file. How can I retreive a file that has been changed? sm

I was working on a large file and had saved it in Word. I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank.  When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you


Depends on the file format of the Short Cuts file.
ShortHand comes with a utility file that can import various formats. You can get that file with the trial download of SH.

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!!!


...with your user.aco file. Save your autocorrect file to somewhere else. nm

You can save the SH file in a text file and import to IT that way. sm
You may have to do some cleanup in the SH text file, but it sure would be faster than re-entering them all manually.
File taxes under the name on file w Social Security....
Name on W2 doesn't have to match, but your tax return has to match SS records. They don't want your marriage license or anything else. Did that for 13 years as instructed by IRS. Didn't have to change it with SS until state changed rules requiring drivers license to match SS records. Still use my maiden name in some limited circumstances.
A friend of mine got one and she is finding that some of her software, specifically her ISP software

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.
an .exe file is not a voice file
I'm no techie, but it sounds like they might've sent the wrong file by mistake. Or could it be a program you need for testing/working for them that they sent? What is the name of the file (if it is something you can say here)?
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.

OK! I'm glad you're back down here. Now don't go back up there and read those evil posts ag
Okay? But I have to leave you now, sadly. Thousands of noble dictating doctors are anxiously awaiting my help with their "dictations"....They're all loading up on chips, drinking lots of soda so they can burp, and then have to go to the bathroom...You know the routine! Off I go to earn some pennies!! But, truly, I am thankful that I have a job!
PS.. It apparently worked..I heard back and already submitted the paperwork back.

I'm not sure how many people they are hiring but you shouldn't stress too hard over it. Do the best you can.


I would not do them back to back - I have done 2 and 3 jobs at the same time -- all PT - sm
It is possible to do of course but you will burn out fast. Now I do one almost FT (about 30 hours a week) and the other is about 8-10 hours a week-- I still get beat doing that and that is w/o set hours. I find that the older I get the harder it is to work late and I am only 40! But a mid afternoon 30-minute cat nap helps a lot in order to keep going on busy days.
How do you set your computer back 1 day. I messed something up and need to go back 1 day.

Yes, you get back to work now. Go back to
some routine, and it does start to hurt less. I know  And remember, she is still there at work with you. Always will be. I figure at this point I have a whole herd of loved dogs under my desk each day - along with a couple horses, hamsters, parakeets, rabbits...If only I could see them - must be quite a happy zoo! But I know they are all there I sense their love.
Maybe they are going to file
a Chapter 11 (I think that's the number) where they do a corporate restructuring.  I'm hardly an expert on bankruptcy law and stuff, but, if I'm not mistaken, some of the airlines have filed bankruptcy, are still flying, and trying to get back on top of things.  Businesses do it all the time.  Of course, it would help with MQ if those fat cats at the top would stop giving themselves million dollar bonuses.  Not saying that would put them in the black, but it would be a little easier to hear when they send memos out saying MQ is losing money. 
Bad DSS file
Why do doctors think we are miracle workers? Or better yet, mindreaders? A bad connection is a bad connection. Unless you have some miracle machine like on CSI, etc. (haha), there's nothing here that can be done. Doctor's loss as he will not re-dictate it, but sadly enough - you're the one who takes the blame. You horrible transcriptionist, you. :-) Good luck.
This is the help file you need.

BOS pdf file?

Does anyone have the BOS pdf file they could spare a copy of?  I just need to print out a couple of pages.  I used to have it but have no idea what i did with it... I think I lost it when my hard drive crashed. TIA!


I did file by file BUT
My files were every note for the day of that particular doctor.  I would only divide it up by doctor and their date of service.  That should be good enough.  It is good for them to have for expensing, and if they do question something, the counts are right there in front of them.  If they want the detail it is there, if not they can decide.  If for some reason they tell you they don't need the details, get it in writing via e-mail or something. 
have pdf file for ...
0420, 0421 and 0424 email me I'll be glad to send it.
