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.

onto my home computer and this is the message I am getting. I can hear audio from other things, just not the company I am hoping to work for. Should your headgear always fit into the front of the PC or is it ok in the back- does this have anything to do with it?

dss files and Express Scribe
I am starting a new job on Tuesday using ES and dss files, this doesn't sound too encouraging to me. This is my first job with online companies, 13 years as MT but still using micros, although that is changing too.
Express Scribe plays .dss files for me. (nm)

Express Scribe should pay wma files (see insider)
Do you have the latest version of Express Scribe (4.08)? The "Windows Media" mentioned below is what WMA files are.

"Windows version supports wav, ... compressed wav (including PCM, uLaw, ALaw, ADPCM, CELP, SBC, Windows Media, ... and more."

If for some reason you can't get it to work, they have an audio converter that has a free trial here:

I use Express Scribe and .dvf files are listed sm

as files that can be played -- just have to check the box.


 


Good luck! 


 


 


Anyone have any Express Scribe practice files? (sm)

My employer is switching from using a call-in system, for which I use my Dictaphone, to using digital files and Express Scribe. I would like to practice using the Express Scribe software and my new pedal and such, but I can't seem to find any practice files. (I figured that with some of the crazy stuff I see on Ebay, I could find about anything online, but I've been unlucky so far searching for practice Express Scribe files!)


Does anyone know where I could find some Express Scribe compatible wav files?  I admit to not knowing much about how this works... I'm pretty much a Dictaphone girl. That's why I'd like to do some practice.  The files wouldn't have to be medical, of course... just anything where someone is talking and I could type along and use my pedal and just get the hang of opening the files and such.


Any help would be met with much adulation and beaucoup gratitude! 


Delete the files in express scribe, not the CD.
Open express scribe and click on the file that you want to play or click on the file that you want to delete.
Transferring Express Scribe files
I would like to work from my laptop sometimes, but I am not sure how to transfer the audio files I downloaded from WinSCP already from my PC to the laptop. All I need to do is transfer the audio files. I know how to transfer files that are finished in Word back to my PC. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
How do I set Express Scribe as my default for wav files??

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.    


 


Need Help receiving encrypted files through Express Scribe!

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.


Yesterday, I posted this on the wrong board, but did receive some response anyway and thanks!  Still now working though. Someone told me that I needed to get the User Id # from the clinic's software program they are using.  The person I subcontract for thought that the User Id from her Olympus DSS software would work, but I am not so sure since the files originally come from the clinic. 


I would rather not have to purchase the Olympus program if not necessary.  I would think there would be some way to receive these encrypted files with their password.  I have also tried to leave the User ID area blank or enter 0, but this does not work either. Keep getting the ERROR message as above.   



The files are coming from a dss program called Olympus if that matters.  Any insight would be greaaaatly appreciated!!!


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.
Does anyone know how to make Express Scribe default player for .wav files? TIA.....nm

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!     


Express Scribe is very easy. Files download, you will see them, click on one and it starts when you
press your pedal.  That simple.
Everytime you re-load Word you need to re-load Stedmans medical spellchecker.

Express Scribe is GREAT for downloading sound files for testing for different companies!

Express Scribe Transcription Playback Software


This software works as a transcriber that downloads into your computer and allows you to receive files and use your footpedal.  I have used it a lot when applying for jobs and testing, especially because I can then use my footpedal and not my keyboard to advance the sound files.  This is a free download too, so use it if you have to.  I highly recommend it.....


This is the link for the site to download it for free -

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.
You need something to play the files like free download of Express Scribe. Need to play with your

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!!!


Did you save files in .rtf format? The files need to be
as a Word document or it won't count them. Could be the problem.
What a load of ....
hooey!  Forty five-year-old people getting high, cussing like teenagers (can you say no class), and acting like idiots?  You MUST be an old hippie.  The  establishement?  LOL  Yes, I must be a sell out. But then again, I know how to act in a social setting without offending everybody in a  10 foot radius. Don't even get me started about hippies. My brother is a 57-year-old specimen who hasn't grown up either, still toking on his joints every day.  God gave us the ability to judge for good reason. 
Get a load of this....

MTSO here - I *used* to send my accounts Christmas gifts, but I stopped doing it.  Why?  Because one year, after sending a $100.00 gift basket to one of my docs, for thanks, he dictated a formal letter to me, mixed in with his other dictation, thanking me!!??


Another very well to do doc sent me a $3.00 or so Walmart-style Hersey mug with a little bag of Hersey kisses in return for the nice gift basket I sent him.


Two years in a row, another doc couldn't even scrung up a thank you note - no acknowledgement whatsoever.


Another office did the same thing - no thank you - no note - no nothing.


Needless to say, my gift giving came to an end after about three years of this.

Work load
I've been with Amphion since June and it has been pretty easy to steadily increase my line count. I've never been harassed by anyone. There is tons of work and right now mandatory overtime, an hour extra a day plus whatever you want to work after that. I have no complaints myself.
work load
Not too much going on today.   I did about 300 lines, (whee!) and did about 1200 yesterday.  Boring...
yep - my PS said not to load it and I disabled

Use the Load button.
Find the Load button in the toolbar, navigate to where the file is saved and load it into Express Scribe.

Work Load
For the past 4 months the work load has been consistently lighter, i.e., less work throughout the day. At first I thought the company overhired, then I blamed the holidays, and now my boss is blaming the Inauguration. I have 4 accounts and all 4 have less work during the day and run out by 7 or 9 pm. EST. Three are based in the Maryland area and 1 is in Florida (so the Inauguration blame game does not work there) I can't even begin to understand how the West Coast girls are dealing with this. Anyone else having this problem? I am trying to decide if it is worthwhile to pick up a part-time job or just hope this gets better? My pay has been steadily decreasing for 4 months now and it has to start picking up or I can't keep up with the bills.
get a load of this math

ST:  250 lines an hour at 8 cents a line is $20.00.  (I can do 250 an hour if I concentrate).  If I can only do 200 lines an hour, that is still $16.00 an hour.


Now for the VR:


VR:  400 lines (roughly 60% more than straight typing 250 lines an hour) at 3 cents a line is $12.00.


How is that more money?  It's a 25% cut!   


How many of you spent years perfecting your macros and shortcuts and Expanders just to have it taken away from you so you can't make a decent living? 


I won't be doing any VR work.  I think they wasted their money with this new technology.  They could have given us raises with that money and had happy employees cranking out the lines.  Win-win.


Too bad for us.  Shafted, once again! 


let it load up completely and then just listen...sm

and watch the screen - turn speakers on!!  too funny but Big Brother did come to mind....*grin*

OP.
How can I get it to auto load the next file? sm

I'm also new to ES and can't figure out how to get it to auto load the next job file when I click "done" with the current file.  I have all my voice files in a folder and it loads them all, but sure would like to not have to manually load each new one.  Can anyone help?  TIA!


decreased patient load
I'm in an office doing transcription and our revenue is way down. Even people with insurance still have to pay some part of their office visit or test or prescription and making those payments has become difficult so they're either avoiding paying them or avoiding coming in for the appointment. So, yes the economy is affecting our business as well b/c the patient load is down significantly.
Most companies do no use their only files (HIPAA). They use files provided by other companies, serv
If you can get through the test files, then the sound quality on the actual company files is better. And, the dictation is never as bad as the test files, plus you have QA to help with hard blanks.

Sounds like a load of horse puckey.
The ONLY way I can see that, and I highly doubt it, is if her docs have mostly standard exams that give her a HUGE boost in lines.

On eScription I did a group of cancer docs who really had pretty standard exams so I could EDIT 1000 lph easily but noooo way could I straight type 600 lph.
