Express scribe
Shoot.   If it's not loading the files into the program, then I'm not sure why it's not working.  Sorry.  I don't know what else would work.
Express scribe

Express scribe does play DSS files - you just have to change the settings, as they are not one of the standard files it is set up to play.   When you're in express scribe, go into settings at the very top, and then go over to the Files tab.  This gives you options of the different types of files that you can get it to play.  Check DSS and then it should work for you.


re: Express Scribe
First you have to know what kind of foot pedal you have, it is either a USB port or a COM I or COM II 9 pin. The USB just plugs in where the 9 pin needs to be screwed into the back of your computer. Then after you get ES downloaded, click on settings, then go to pedal and hot key settings. Then click on the kind of foot pedal you have and then do the foot pedal wizard. It'll have you press the pedals and if it responds you have it set! God bless!~
EXPRESS SCRIBE...HELP!
I am so irritated, my computer and everything on it screwed up today, so I erased and downloaded express scribe, and I can't remember what my settings were on..I know now when I try to rewind it doesn't go back as far enough as I need it to, and I Have no clue on how to make it.  I have the speeds on 1000, all of them.
Express Scribe

Can anyone shed some light on Express Scribe.  I was looking to purchase for me to use along with the 3 part time girls I have working for me.  What is the cost, but more importantly what special equipment do I or the doctors need.  Any replies would be greatly appreciated.  I have a call into the company as well.


THANK YOU!!


I have express scribe that I play wav files from my other job on

express scribe is not a tape transcriber. SM

If you are working with cassette tapes, you need something to play them on.  You cannot just upload them to a computer.  You can input them to your computer via a transcribing machine. 


Express Scribe is a digital sound player.  It plays voice files that are already digitized. 


Express Scribe is a free download.....

A USB foot pedal would be good to have. You can download Express Scribe for free to take tests. nm

Try Med-Scribe (Utah) or Princeton?

MED-Scribe, Inc. (Utah) -- they don't have a website, but email Teri Mortensen teri@med-scribeinc.com about questions/openings.


Princeton Transcription, Inc has a website you can find by Google and I know they have one psych account.


Good luck.

I did this and it did not work.  I uninstalled and reinstalled and did this about 10-15 times
Express Delegate

Does anyone have their own home-based company and use the  Express Delegate system?  If so, could you please supply some information on what it required to set it up and what comes in the package?  Thank You!!


There is a free version of Express Delegate
http://www.nch.com.au/delegate/index.html

I don't use it, but there is lots of information on their website. Perhaps you can contact the company for any answers not found on there.
Software

The only software I paid for out of my pocket was my word Expander software and the electronic medical dictionary - and I kept those receipts and deducted the expense on my taxes.


If the company has a specific platform that needs to be downloaded, that should never be charged for.


The software is about $400 and it may/may not

work.  You don't actually purchase it from them, but from another company.  The Scam company does not offer support for the software because you didn't buy it from them and the company you did buy it from is probably a sister company to Scam and you don't get any help there either.


I don't know how they are even still in business.  They have moved to a different state and changed their names at least once. 


If you have money to just throw away I'll send you my account number - LOL. 


Different Software

Does anyone know of any other software besides Express Scribe? Do not like new version. When I tried it, it made my dictation sound worse even before I made adjustments. Does anyone have any advise?


Thanks

Can anyone help me where to buy or download escription software??

Transcription Software
I'm just starting out on this new adventure.  I didn't go to MT school.  My experience lies with being a nurse for 7 years of various acute care specialties.  I'm now a new mom and trying to stay home.  Can anyone recommend transcription software that will make this easier for me?  Thank you
Software Questions

What types of special software would I need to work at home as an IC? This is for a school project.


Thanks!


Firewall, Security Suite, Medical Spell Check, Line Count, etc. Anything eles anyone can add to this list?


 


best software for spellcheck
I am getting ready to start mentoring for Focus.  I wanted to know what would be the best spell check for medicines and up to date.  Also what is the best text Expander program.  I have one from my school, but is there a better one to have?
Re: Selling Used Software (sm)
You can sell "used software," just make sure that it is legal! If you have one of the large storage packages, 600 MB for a complete CD are no problem. For some dial up users the upload is the expensive part of it!

You may include your registration details in a file and add it to the software package.

Note: You can sell your used software normally ONE time. If you sell the stuff several times (like an FTP client, etc.) this is surely not legal! So check your license gals!
Sharing software

My understanding has always been that it is not legal to share software to be installed on other computers.  I believe there are exceptions to this; some programs are "sharable," but usually those are free programs to being with (in my experience).  Microsoft programs come with a unique key that has to be entered when installing them.


My knowledge of software programs does not extend far beyond MS products, a few free downloadable programs and a few other miscellaneous software programs, so I apologize if I have given any incorrect information. 


Interactive MT Software?
Does anyone know if there is such a thing as interactive software for MT practice and/or skill building?  I think this is the kind of thing that would really help me, but have not found anything even remotely close to it.  Any ideas appreciated.  Thank you in advance.
Not all software works with the same pedals.
It's just a software issue.

So it changed from $99 for software that is free - sm
To $79 for a foot pedal? I bought my foot pedal on my own and so can anyone else. Why do they need to give the money directly to you?
Well, it's the only software my friend was asked to buy!

line counting software
is it necessary to have line counting sofware or will the line counter on MS word work just the same?
You pay $397 for software and additional for a pedal.
Then you get to work for free until you are up to "standards," which will never happen. You will be unable to get a refund of your money. If you do a search for Trans@Am Associates either here or a web search (with the @ sign), you will find plenty of info as to why it is a scam. You can also check with BBB in Florida.


You pay 400 bucks for their proprietary software, you
end up in training forever and you're never quite good enough to earn real money. There have been so many people screwed over by them it's not even funny. Don't fall for their Christian act either. They make Christian's look bad.
No way to tell. Is the software easy to use? Will you be looking up addresses? Making a log? Having

Depends on if your machine could be integrated with the different software

court reporter software does integrate

yes, i recently purchased a software that allows my steno machine to act as the keyboard.  hence, typing at a speed of 225 wpm.


i also have 20 plus years of medical terminology exposure with 3 quarters of medical terminology while in school.  i've taken several depos through the years where the doctor is just reading verbatim from his op report, so i got pretty familiar with the different types of medical records through the years.


you guys are the experts here.  i am looking for a way to work from home in order to be with my daughter.  i know the pay would be less but i never wanted to be a millionaire anyway. 


my strength would be my ability to produce a lot of lines in a day.  i know there's probably a lot more to learn, but do you guys think this is something i could transition into without needing to go back to school?

If a company wants you to work for them they should provide the software. sm
You will have to buy some hardware (foot pedal etc) but the either the software is free (express scribe) or they provide it. This is just my experience but I did see that company when I first started and I did almost take a job with them until I was told the same thing. Good luck!!

most software applications require high speed. sm
problem with dial up is like using a little pipe to get water into your home. The pipe is too little to allow a big flow. Your program will crawl on dial up. Do a search for wireless internet and your nearest town. I cannot get cable or DSL here but found out there is a tower half mile from my house that is wireless. I didn't know it and they sure didn't tell me. So check around that way. Until you get high speed, most likely you will be unable to work unless you find a place that transfers .wav files from an FTP site.
For testing I needed software that I could download free

but I could not get the footpedal to work.  Anybody have experience with this?  I downloaded Express Scribe to listen to the dictation.


Thanks in advance.
