how to set express scribe as the default player on windows 7? - CV


Posted: Mar 02, 2011

does anyone know how to set express scribe as the default player on windows 7? thanks so much for your help

Go into you file type settings - FlaMT

Under Options, then the tab marked File Types. Check off the file type you want Express Scribe to always play (.wav, .mp3 etc)

It also depends which version of ES you are using. The instructions above work for versions prior to 5.13.

Otherwise, in Win7 you have to go to Set Associations to make ES your default player for all audio files types (or just certain ones).

Had the same problem and so did some of my friends. I called the test company and they lowered the bit number on my PC and it worked fine. If you can get a hold of a tech support person there, tell them this regarding the above.

Mar 03, 2012

I have voice files sent to me that I cannot play in Windows Media or Express Scribe. They will load in ES but show 00:00 duration.  I thought possibly it was an encryption error as they possibly they are coming that way to be because they are secure but I sent to a friend and she can open them and play them.  Windows Media states something about a missing codecs and I have installed if known codecs to man (I am on Windows XP).  They just will not play or show the duration etc.&nbs ...

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

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 ...
