What player do you use to transcribe with?? I used to use Olympus but since -sm - anon


Posted: Feb 08, 2012

updating my computer to Windows 7 the foot pedal will not work as the player is an older version as is the foot pedal. I have been using Express Scribe but I am tired of spending all my time trying to convert the files to play in Express Scribe. Just wondering if there is anything else out there that is user friendly and plays a variety of files?? Thanks.

maybe you could - sm

Voice file conversion - JW

[ In Reply To ..]
There is software that will convert the files. I used it for a while to convert ds2 to wav. There is a free trial of 30 days and then it costs 30.00 per year. Google covert voice file software and you should find it. I'm sorry I don't remember it. I just upgraded my Olympus to the AS-5000 transcription kit. I never liked Express Scribe very much and I have heard that they are charging for that one now too.
