DSS voice file with a $ sign in front of it? - hmmm
Posted: Jul 29, 2011
I agreed to do some work in coverage for someone and the doctor sent files directly. He uses an Olympus recorder that uploads on AS-4000 Pro Player platform. Once uploaded, it sends each voice file out by encrypted email. So I got the .dss file but it comes as
.$dss
In addition to the voice file, there is an .html file that contains the header information for the recording.
I downloaded the DSS Lite Player, but it doesn't recognize the file. Before I start downloading Switch, I wanted to ask if anyone has seen this and knows why it means. I think if I don't buy the Olympus platform that would un-encrypt the voice file, I won't have access to it. The office manager thinks I should be able to open it without getting the $200 player software.
Does anyone know the answer to this?
$ sign or tilde in front means it's a temp file, not the actual file. - NM

$ in dss file - tom384
[ In Reply To ..]A $dss file indicates it is an encrypted file. The ONLY way to decrypt is with the Olympus Pro transcribe software.
ty for your response - hmmm
[ In Reply To ..]That was what I thought. It helps to get confirmation.

Having More Than One Voice File Player
Jan 02, 2011
I currently use GearPlayer, and with one of my clients this is required for downloading voice files and uploading completed documents, therefore cannot get rid of it. GearPlayer is fine for my other accounts as those voice files come via email and FTP and I save them to my system and they open and play on GP just fine. My issue now is if I want to apply with a company who requires ByteScribe or ExpressScribe - or any other player, those are just the two that I am looking at presently - c ...

Here's my observation for a Sunday for what that's worth No matter what aspect of Nuance you work in, be it MLS OR QC, you are never good enough, never fast enough, never perfect enough, you are not the mind reader they had hoped they had hired. If you pore over a job to leave fewer blanks, you are too slow. If you try to meet production, you leave too many blanks. Oh, and don't try to point out errors on the account specifics cuz chances are they will never g ...
Voice Recognition - Is Anybody Making Any Money At All On Voice?
Jan 12, 2013
I was wondering, is anybody making any money at all on voice? I keep hearing just minimum or maybe a little more. I call minimum wage 7.50 to 8.00 an hour. My experience with it was at one point I was told that I hadn't made enough for minimum and they had to do make-up pay. So how is everybody's experience with voice? I run from it, and I just want to know if anybody really can make an money? Thanks. ...

I'm a former MT who decided I couldn't live "peaceably" with VR (LOL) and left MT a few months ago. I've had some trouble finding a job outside of MT since then, though.
