Loading a wave file
Can someone help me? I just got a Infinity pedal to play wave files and I just loaded Express Scribe's free download.
Here is my question: I get my files via an email attachment, so how do I download it into Express Scribe. Do I have to save the attachment somewhere else in a word file or something and then load it from there? Hope this makes sense. Again, I'm new at this so anything will help. Thank you in advance for the help.
Thank you! She can't download the file to sm
use the player from there, right? She needs the actual disk in order for this to work correctly? Sorry for all the questions. I'm just not familiar w/it and didn't find an actual download for the ability to play the files.
Need help with FTP. Trying to download file from FTP site -sm
and not having much luck. If I right click on the file name and try to save to a folder it tells me I can't do that. If I just double click on the file name it downloads the file but to Windows Media and then from there I can't get the file to a folder and into Express Scribe. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not a computer whiz and I am so frustrated. Thanks.
If you got the file there, then you should be able to download ExpressScribe and load it into
s
Download the file from FTP to your hard drive.
Then hit Load button, find where you saved the file on your hard drive and Load. Now, you're in business.
Download the voice file to your computer.
Then open ES and load it in. If it's not a supported file format, you can get a program like Switch to convert it to a supported format.
I tried to download it. It says do not file these copies for some reason. I'm going tomorrow to S
pick up the ONE stinkin' form I need from the federal building. Beats buying 50 at Office Depot!
try express scribe you can download for free. what type file is it?nm
;
Download a program called Switch and convert the file. nmx

Download Express Scribe (free player) and see if you can pull the voice file into it. nm
s
Download Express Scribe, it's free, when you download the voice files you will listen to....
them in Express Scribe and you can set your footpedal up. I forget where the downloaded files go, can't remember if you can put them where you want them but I would have to search for them to download to Express Scribe - maybe someone else can tell you how. It is much better than what you are doing.
Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.

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.

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.

I haven't tried it yet, but it's got good reviews and a 10-use trial.

wave pedal
When I looked up wave pedal, I saw this ExpressScribe, so do I assume that is what this is all referring to? I have been typing for one doctor on the side and he now wants to go tapeless. Someone suggested to him that I look into wave pedal. Can anyone clue me in. As of right now, I cannot get high speed internet or DSL where I live, only satellite. Any other suggestions, please clue me in. Thx.
VR is definitely the wave of the future
Integris owns several large hospitals and numerous smaller clinics in Oklahoma City (near where I live) and they now do all their radiology transcription using VR. They only employ about five transcriptionists to do editing and what little transcription they need to have done. And their main hospital is the largest one in Oklahoma City. I don't know exactly how many radiology MTs they used to employ, but I do know they were staffed 24/7 and probably had at least 10 or more people working during peak times.
Actually, I think for a while this will work to the advantage of at-home transcriptionists, because it will be cheaper for smaller facilities to have a transcription company handle their work than for them to invest in a VR system. But eventually, yes, I think we will go the way of the dinosaurs.... 
I used their wave player when I had an
account with .dss files. It worked fine.
wave/dss files.
I click on the attachment then "save" to "My Documents". I use the Olympus player and can either import it into the player or just click on the file in documents and the player will come up.
All N One Wave Transcriber
Thanks for the advice. After using the 30-day free trial I found on a web site I've decided to stick with Digital Voice Editor (FS85USB). I don't like the pedal nearly as much but I guess I can live with it because the software is excellent. The All N One is okay, the other is just better. Thanks though. I appreciate it.
Wave Files?
Help! I have a Dr who is trying to send me his dictation thru a wave file and he can't get it to go thru because it is too big (102 mb) Is there anything I can tell him to do to make it smaller, like compress the file? Thanks!
Do you pay for the wave pedal and software? I don't.
I rent the computer with the pedal and everything for $50 a month.
I have never spent any money on the software -- MQ has provided it free.
They reimburse my DSL 100% every month. When I hooked up to it, it only cost me $12.95 and they reimbursed that as well.
I can makeup time I lost to bad weather. I don't like it, it's not my first choice, but I certainly don't expect them to PAY me just because there is a storm and it is safest not to have the system plugged into power. Even when I worked in a local hospital on an hourly basis, in bad weather we were off the computers...but I also was available for that hourly rate to file and do other things they wanted. I'm not doing that for MQ when I'm able to type for that reason so they don't owe me anything but the chance to make it up or forfeit any action if it caused me to miss my production.
I'm really surprised though, if you are having to pay extra for your pedal and software, etc. Sorry to hear that.
I have extra wave pedal
What is your email address? I have extra wave pedal. You may have it - no charge. ssc
Nonprofit MTSOs! The new Wave!! LOL! nm
It isn't the wave files that are the problem, it is the
program you are using to play them and an incompatibility problem with it and your foot pedal. What program are you using to play the files and what foot pedal - meaning is it USB, game port, or serial port?
wave player woes
check your file type after you hit open on the wav player. Tell it to show you all files. Your first file may be a wav and the second a dvf or some other file type.
Question about wave pedals...please help
I know this may seem like a simple question to most but I have always worked through phone lines to receive dictation. I did purchase a USB port pedal from Expresscribe a couple of years ago in hopes of finding part time work to go along with my full time but I never could get it to work. My computer would not recognize that it was connected. Anyway, I am will to try again but at $189 for a universal pedal, I do not want to get stuck with something I can't use. So, if anyone has the time to fully explain this to me I would appreciate it. How does it work? Can I use my MP3 player on my computer? If I can use my MP3 player, wouldn't any pedal work in the game port? Sorry for the questions but I would appreciate some answers as I am really looking for something I could move around with, like on vacations or business trips with my husband.
New Logitech Wave Keyboard...anyone have this??
I am interested to see if anyone has used this keyboard yet...thanks...
No way. It's a huge wave that's just going to keep growing

I use the microsoft wave keyboard
I'm sorry I didn't go to that link but it sounds like my MS keyboard. I went to a wireless one a few months back b/c it was on sale and had bonus wireless mouse so I thought I would try it. I do like it; I tend to prefer a clacky keyboard (showin' my age!) and it clicks and clacks just enough to keep me happy without being too "hard." The positioning of the keys works for me. It's not as split as my old ergo keyboard, but those are hard to find in the stores anymore so I "made do."
Wave pedal issues ...
Anyone ever had a wave pedal start to go bad? I have a USB pedal that is just three years old, and it's starting to flake on me. It will stop on it's own or jump in the audio without me propting it. Maybe there are loose wires?
I'm tempted to open the thing up and see what I can do (though I'm totally clueless). Just wondering if anyone knows about this stuff or has had the issue and fixed it. If nothing else, I'll buy a new one (or ebay one).
Aren't pedals supposed to last longer than three years?!
I have the Logitech Wave and I love it...

Any opinions on All N One Wave Transcriber?
I am looking for a new transcriber software kit. The All N One Wave Transcriber by Martel Electronics looks good but they don't have a free trial download. I don't want to buy without knowing anything about it. I need something that I can see all the files that have been downloaded to me and that I can listen to and name file by file. I have a doctor that many times does not complete the dictation in one sitting - may continue it days later. I need to be able to search through files to see if I have the continuations or not. Most, from what I have found, don't have this option. I have Sony's Digital Voice Editor and love it but really dislike the pedal so am trying to find something similar in another software. Does anyone out there have experience with this software and pedal (All N One)? Thanks in advance for any advice.
I used their software/foot pedal. It is just a wave
file program.
Love my Logitech Wave keyboard sm
It's not as split apart as the tons of other ones I've tried over the years, it's wireless and comes with a wireless mouse as well, smaller than most others, and not as high to fit on my keyboard drawer. I saw it at Costco here in Washington the other day; not sure if they carry it at all Costcos or not.
Anyone know of system that converts files to wave...help please
I am a small company and would like to know if anyone knows of a system that takes the dictation and converts it to wave files and these can then be sent to any number of medical transcriptionists? I want a system that does nto require a lot of phone lines because of being a little remote, but would allow more than one doctor to dictate at a time and allow me to move files as need to each MT. I was hoping to find a dial in system like this rather than the hand helds because that is relying toooooooo much on them docking the thing, loading it etc.
any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Margo
If you are talking about the Logitech Wave, I have that and love it...
very comfortable and there is not an adjustment period like you have with some of the others...
Have Bose surround system and the Wave Radio with
CD. Have had the Bose surround sound system for at least 7 years, still going strong, and the radio/CD for about 5 years, still sounds as great as new. There is no other stereo/sound system that has such rich sound, and you won't be disappointed! Order directly from Bose and get the interest-free monthly payments, easier that way, but definitely worth every hard-earned penny.
Have my own ftp site for receiving wave files...return completed
reports to the doctor the same way... secure, safe, easy. I purchase the space from startlogic for $90 a year. Hope this helps!
Looking for a machine or something that will convert micro tapes to wave files
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
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)?
check mark by advanced controls, WAVE and MIDI controls come up --nm

Does anyone know why the wave volume control on my master volume controls... SM
on my PC would turn itself all the way down? It's driving me nuts! It's like it resets itself to the low possible setting and when I go to work, I'm turning my speakers up full blast trying to hear and when I check my volume controls on my PC, the wave setting is turned all the way down. I turn it back and everything is loud and clear and I have to turn my speakers back down and then I'll do something the internet and BOOM it resets itself!
I feel bad because I've been accusing my kids of messing with the controls and they have been swearing they didn't do it and I haven't exactly believed them, but it has happened twice to me this evening while I'm working and I know no one else has touched my PC but me.
A wave pedal is a foot pedal that connects to either
serial port, game port, or USB depending on the software needed with it. You have to download the work via the internet and most companies still require high-speed internet, though some allow dial-up or satellite. A pedal costs about $70, though can find on e-bay cheaper. You can download ExpressScribe for free to use with the foot pedal unless the company requires a different software program.
