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.

Converting voice files to digital files

I have a Voice Solutions dictation system that will happily convert DS4000 voice files to digital when they are downloaded (wave files). However, it will not recognize any other files for conversion. I had a physician download .WAM files from his DS-30 and my dictation system would not convert it. Anyone have any suggestions?  I would greatly appreciate any input.


Thanks!!!


How do you play dictation in Vista?

I have a new laptop with Vista and my Express Scribe is not working.  So is there another program to play dictations with a foot pedal in Vista?  OR how do I make Express Scribe work with Vista?


Thanks for any help


can't play voice file
I was sent a voice file to transcribe (test) and I can play it but not at the same time that I am in MS Word.  What am I doing wrong?  TIA
What are you using to play the files? sm
There might be a setting to select the foot pedal and/or the type of files. 
yes. they are used to play wav files on your --sm
digital wav player, so they can be called wav pedals too. Although some programs require a specific type of pedal because of the way they are wired. USB port is pretty universal and the simplest, but some programs like the serial port ones so it is wired as to left pedal, right pedal, fast forward, reverse, etc. but they are essentially the same thing.
DSS files won't play

I am totally new to the at home transcription profession.  I found someone to type for but when she sent me the file, .dss, it didn't play on Express Scribe.  Now, I have been on their forums and tried ALL of the suggestions and nothing worked.  Apparently it has something to do with the way the new version of ES interacts with XP or something.  So I found a DSS Player Lite at Olympus and it played the file, but ofcourse there wasn't any foot controls or speed, et cetera.  I was just wondering if there are possibly other, preferablly free or cheap, software programs that I can use to play these DSS files.  I have another person I will be transcribing for as well but I guess she uses a different file format so I am hoping that it will play with ES. I am just so frustrated and don't know what to do to get started making some money.  Can anybody help me??       


Thanks!!


It should play .sri files. Have you tried doing this??? sm
Go into settings, then file types, and put a mark next to .sri files.

Give that a try and let me know if it works. HTH!
Can I play files dictated in DVI on my PC?

I was recently approached by a local doctor and asked if I would like to type for them.  The doctor's office uses a DVI system but they did not know anything else including what equipment I would need to play the files.  I was wondering if I could purchase software that would alow me to dial into their DVI system with my computer instead of using a separate DVI machine.


Thanks,
Mariah


They probably all play .wav files. The USB pedal is

Do you have a wav player and pedal to play the files?

Bytescribe wavplayer will play DSS files.

Express Scribe will not play .sri files......anyone else

Bytescribe .wavplayer will play the DSS files from Olympus.

Vista and XP files...
I have WAVpedal by The Programmer's Consortium. Is the company that made yours? It is not a Vista-based program. If a program is written for Vista, it won't run on XP. Some XP programs run on Vista but generally speaking they do not (*#%(^) you Microsoft!) I would contact the company directly if that is the same maker as mine. We have had nothing but grief with our change over to Vista...waiting for Windows 7. If you need more info, email me.
Digital Voice Editor & Vista

Me again!  This time I installed the disk (Sony DVE v.2.4.04) and got an error message on my new computer with Vista.  I need this to hear the sound on voice files for a client I work for....  I feel like a Pioneer with Vista and transcription!   Anyone else have this and found a solution?


Update:  I went ahead and bought Office 2007 as I need Word to transcribe and also use Excel to keep track of lines and my college son needs Powerpoint!  Thanks for the help! 


Hmmm.....I read somewhere about seeing if you can play the files in Windows Media Player....sm

because Media Player downloads proper codec "on-demand" and this is apparently needed to play .wav files in Express Scribe (read this at their website).  Can you play any other types of files?  


voice files
Yes, mine are emailed too.  They are usually .dvf or .wav files..  Call GearPlayer from that website I posted and ask if this is compatible for you.  If so then purchase it and call them back to be walked through downloading to your computer (I download to a folder named "Work to be Typed" by "Saving Target As." )

I tried that. They won't drag into the box.

That worked. Thanks so much!
voice files query...

Good day everybody...I am on a rush and interested on buying a set of classified voice files, all body system for practice transcription but I can not find sites where to buy them.  I will appreciate it a lot if somebody could give me at least an idea where to find the complete set of course on a cheaper price. Thanks very much.


Why would you e-mail voice files to yourself. You'd have to have them
on your computer to do that and if you have that why e-mail them.   Unless you have encrpyted e-mail it would be a big no no as far as HIPAA. 
PDA use for voice files over internet?

A chiropractor called me today to see if I could transcribe his reports using a PDA with voice files over the internet.  I told him that I am sure I could accommodate him but that I was unfamiliar with that process and would have get back to him within the week, yet now I am at a loss at what to do.  What program do I use?  Can it work along with my microcassette transcriber/pedals, which I use for other chiropractors and PT’s.  I


 


If anyone is familiar or can point me in the right direction, I would be forever grateful.

Need help with static in voice files

Please help!!!


I am given .wav files, through a VPN connection, from a hospital that uses DVI/Fusion.  I have an enormous amount of static on the files and it seems that no matter what I do, nothing helps.  I have even been able to let the gal at the hospital listen over the phone to what I am dealing with and she says that her files sound nothing like what I am getting.  I am assuming it has something to do with Fusion and I have called Dolbey numerous times to try to get them to help to no avail. 


Does anyone have any suggestions?


FYI:  I have tried playing the files through 4 different software programs and always get the same static.


Thanks much for trying!


Trying to load voice files, anyone?

Wanting to go to work for a new company. What I am getting is - voice files failed to load- object does not support this method.


I would like to know- has anyone experienced something similar and if so any suggestions? Thought maybe too much on my computer or ?? Thanks so much.


converting voice files
Thanks for the input. I will definetely look that up on the net. I just hope it does the same thing for my voice files as it did for your MP3 files.
Voice files & access to VPN sm
I use a DVI system for the voice files and connect to a VPN to transcribe, and I am using just the mobile broadband connection. I applied to a couple of companies that said the connection would not be compatible, although I'm not sure why. My main issue is that I need to get a unidirectional antenna put up as my omnidirectional one tends to get fluctuating signals. As far as usage, I haven't really tracked work only or surfing only, but I would estimate no more than 1.5-2 GB of usage per month is strictly work-related. If anyone wants the name of the company I went through for my equipment, it is 3gstore.com. Excellent customer service, even if all you do is ask a question and not buy anything. They even answered some tech questions for me a couple of weeks ago, more than a year after I bought my stuff.
Best way to send voice files

I need to get some help. What is the best way to send voice files to other MTs, and then they send me their completed reports? I am relatively computer dumb and need some advice and help. What is the most secure, economical way? I notice that Express Scribe/Dictate has FTP...but actually all that stuff confuse me...


Can anyone explain it to me in really simple language? I know all the big medical terms but computer stuff just terrifies me but I have to get some help....

RE: Using stop -start program, but cnanot get true speech files to play - any one with any ides it w

would greatly appeciate any advice as to why the start stop program will place the vox files but not the true speech even Iafter I told to associat wiht true speech and so on... The time flickers like it wantt to open the file but it never opens....  THe the error comes up file is too smlal to be a valid sound file or missing file"  Actually the start stop will place the Regan Speech sample audio  that is a true speech file so I would think it could play true speech files


for voice files on computer, try plugging
your headset directly into the computer where the speakers normally go and see if that helps. Also, you can get a volume amplifier for this. It sure helped me.
Have you considered editing voice rec files?
Fewer Keystrokes and easier on your hands. Might be a way to stay in the field.
If you already have Bytescribe, he can email the voice files to you now.
Bytescribe plays dss files. very easy to do!. good luck.
The doctors email me the voice files

Do you know if gear player will work with dss voice files that are emailed to me?  thanks


Will you be accessing the voice files via a Cphone, too?

Can I d/l voice files from Filezilla to my Cdrive?

how do the docs send the voice files to you
do they use a dropbox and then drag the files to it from a file on their pc or something like that.  Our docs use Olympus recorders and now when they are done recording they just put their recorders in docking station and somehow the files are emailed directly to us, so am wondering how they would do it using this filesanywhere??  They do not like too many extra steps of course!
Need Testing Help - Downloading Voice Files
I am taking a transcription test and I have downloaded the voice files on my desktop. I am trying to drag them into Express Scribe but it isn't working. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks!
Does anyone have any voice files they could share for testing purposes?

Have a Lanier VW system which pulls voice files

can pull your voice directly from the hospital side so you can send via FTP directly to your MT's. The files are converted to play using Express Scribe or any player which can play typical .wav files.


If you deal with seperate dempgraphic files I can help also. Thanks


My digital voice player converts files to be --sm
able to be played. it sounds like your voice player does not. Maybe either you or she needs to save the file as a wav file first, prior to playing. either that, or try downloading the express scribe player, which is free, and try to play it with that. If that plays, then it is your voice player which is not compatible with the files she is sending you. good luck.
Express Scribe and receiving the voice files...

I have been using Express Scribe to transcribe notes from voice files that are sent to my AOL mailbox.  I was told that AOL mailboxes will only allow smaller sized voice files and that they will not accept larger files.  Does anyone have information regarding this matter?  Is there a better server I should change to so I can receive the larger voice files?


 


I was also wondering if I should instead use one of those MT platforms where the doc’s email to that specific platform and the MT picks them up there.  For the life of me, I cannot recall the name of that site.  If anyone knows of the site, can you please let me know. 


 


All advice appreciated, thank you.    


 


Looking for Software to Organize Digital Voice Files

 


Anyone know of good software that can take my digital voice files and organize them so I can keep track of which worker is working on which doctor, keep an eye on turnaround time, etc. -- instead of making endless folders on the computer myself. Voice files are separate from the typed reports, which are done in Word. Thank you.

Running Voice Files Through Speech Recognition. SM
Does anyone run their voice files (DSS and WMA) through a speech recognition program and then edit them?  Just wondering if that is any faster than actually typing it myself. The doctor is a very clear dictator, so I'm wondering if the speech recognition would pick it up okay -- but wouldn't be able to teach the software to recognize her voice the way the instructions say to.

Also, does anyone using speech recognition listen to the dictation and then redictate it into speech recognition software themselves? I would be able to train the software to recognize my voice then.

Just trying to think of a few ways to increase my productivity and save my wrists at the same time. Thanks for any suggestions and comments.

"

Christina, I would not send voice files unless they legally
belong to you and are in your voice. It is against HIPAA regulations to share medical files. If the hospital or physician or company finds out, you would be held accountable if a patient's private information is given out to another party.
Help! Need New Method to transfer voice files asap

Voice files are now transferred from clinic I work for via email (unencrypted) and are then sent back via Winzip and email. 


We need new method to be compliant, as well as to eliminate "many missing" files it seems when sending through email. Clinic now uses Olympus equipment and does not want to use email any longer.  Checked into secure FTP site and will not work well with the Olympus system they have.  Any suggestions on what to do here????


Any way to transfer microcasettes to digital voice files? (sm)

I'll be using a subcontractor and rather than picking up and delivering tapes, is there a way for me to transfer dictation from tapes to voice files that she can transcribe using express scribe?


Do they make such a machine?


Advice regarding Express Scribe and FTP sites for voice files...

I have a new client that would like to use his PDA and send me the voice files through email.  I am confused to what programs I need to acquire in order for this procedure to be HIPPA compliant and also to work smoothly. Will Express Scribe work for the voice files and transciption?  I will also need an FTP site, correct?  What reasonable and user friendly FTP sites do you recommend? 


 


Thank you for any and all advice!     


Delete your voice files at the end of your shift or before you start work again. No

It depends on what kind of voice files you're playing.

The sound on Express Scribe is terrible.  I think it's worth it to find a player that plays your voice files with good sound.  If you use wav files, a Bytescribe wav player would be excellent (get the dongle version so you get unlimited installs).  They also have a version that converts DSS to wav.  I complained about the DSS files not sounding clean on speed up and slow down so they told me about another version they have.  If you have a Bytescrive wav player, it's already on your computer.  Of if you're using DSS files you could also use a DSS player.  (I've never tried them). 


I am looking for recommendations for a FTP site to retrieve digital voice files. sm
Can you tell me what site you use, how much it costs, etc.? Any info appreciated!
