Express Scribe - Money Honey

You have to pay for it now. Same thing happened to me and after you pay for it, be sure you register it or you still cannot use it. What a racket. I used to use it for free, but it may have been attached with the software program I was working in.

Don't use the latest version off their web site. Any version with "Pro" in the title is a trial version and will die on you at some point. Use the 3.x.x or 4.x.x versions. Here is one:

I actually just paid the $29 for a subscription for one of my computers but found I really needed it on both computers, as my husband is helping me knock out some general transcription.

He's doing a great job! I guess he's been around this crazy business for 15 years, some of it has rubbed off on him!

Express Scribe Free Version ?
Nov 02, 2012

I need the free version of Express Scribe and can't figure out how to get it.  I purchased the Pro version and I found I don't like it.  I'd like to continue using the older version because I'm comfortable with it, but I can figure out how to download it without having the trial version (which it ends up asking you to purchase).  I feel like I'm being clear as mud :-), sorry.  Can anyone help?  Thanks! ...

Foot Pedal And Express Scribe
May 06, 2014

I have had a VEC Infinity foot pedal for over 10 years.  Have used it with no problems whatsoever on Express Scribe and many other transcription platforms.  My computer (Windows XP) crashed and had to get a new computer (Windows 8).  My foot pedal wouldn't work on Express Scribe anymore (but works fine on Emdat platform).  I thought it was because I was using the free version of Express Scribe, so I went ahead and paid the money to buy the full version of Express Scribe. ...

Hi, I have just begun to have issues with my foot pedal when using Express Scribe.

I went to their site, but of course cannot get t ...

Help With Foot Pedal Settings In Express Scribe (sm)
Jun 03, 2014

I went into options and all the settings seem to be in the hundreds and described as (ms).  Not familiar with that at all.  I always set my pedal to seconds.  My rewind is extremely slow and when I take my foot off the pedal and then on again I need it to rewind a few seconds so as to not miss anything.  When I take my foot off pedal and then on again, I have to actually press the rewind button for a few seconds and this is really costing me some time and aggravation.&nb ...

Mine got deleted after I had to get a complete reinstall. It's not on either of my flash drives, it's gone.
