help on loading dictations from Windows Media Player to Express Scribe - sheila


Posted: Jan 26, 2011

I could use some help on loading dictations from Windows Media Player to ES They say ( .wpl ) is not supported

ES - MT

I just change the document name to .wma on the end instead of .wpl and it works every time. Good luck!

Express Scribe - sheila

Dictations are in the playlist. Do I have to put them somewhere else?

ES - MT

I double click on the file or right click and choose "Transcribe with Express Scribe." They seem to pop right into ES from wherever - at least they do on my computer.

DSS Player Versus Express Scribe For Dragon SR
Mar 19, 2012

As much as I hate to do it, clients are requesting to use SR.  I have Dragon and Express Scribe.  However, it seems I either need to purchase, download and install Express Scribe Pro and/or Olympus DSS Player Pro to get Dragon to recognize and auto transcribe DSS files.  I've tried converting the files to wav but the distortion in sound quality is not good for SR.  Any suggestions on which is the better way to go.  Express Scribe Pro is far less expensive than Olymp ...

My client just sold his business but I stayed on with the new client.  My old client used Voicescribe which I became very used to as I used it for over 15 years for my old client.    The new client doesn't use a specific media player but I tried the VCL media player and Windows media player but I can't seem to get my foot pedal to work with either.  Is there a media player out there that is foot pedal friendly? Any help is appreciated.  ...

Express Scribe Difficulties
May 03, 2011

I have just started having trouble with Express Scribe. Regardless of whether I am using the foot pedal or the function keys, it is as if the program does not recognize what I am doing. Sometimes it takes multiple presses of the stop button or taps on the footpedal to get the dictation to stop. Sometimes when I press reverse on the footpedal I end up playing or fast forwarding. At first, restarting my computer seemed to fix the problem, but now nothing seems to make much difference. Any suggesti ...
