Inexpensive software to transcribe .d2 file formats- sm - typinfool


Posted: Apr 26, 2011

Does anyone know of an inexpensive software that will play .ds2 file formats.  Express Scribe will not!!  I am in a pickle and need something inexpensive to play these files.  Thanks!!  

YES! - hawkmt

You can buy/download something called DSS to Wave software. It converts the .ds2 files to wave files that Express Scribe will play. I think it's about 25 bucks a year. Works quite well.
