Access audio files of InScribe (EMDAT) - mtMaryT


Posted: Apr 29, 2013

Greetings-

I am on EMDAT platform using InScribe client software. 

According to EMDAT's website: "When a dictation is downloaded to a transcriptionist workstation, it is decrypted automatically and converted to an .MP3 file." https://www.emdat.com/software/faq.asp. EMDAT does state that they do not support using those files with other applications, but this only means that EMDAT Inc. won't provide you with technical support if you have problems with this procedure.

However there's no harm to you if you wanted to use a third-party audio playback software and type into MS Word or whatever, right? It's fully possible to feed the unencrypted MP3 file into a third-party program of the transcriptionist's choosing, then use a word processing program of the transcriptionist's choosing to type in the text, and lastly, copy-and-paste it into EMDAT InScribe, right?

Has anyone had any experience doing this?

They stopped doing that - worker bee

They no longer allow files to be played through a 3rd party player due to HIPAA regulations. That update happened about a year ago.

Geardictate Encrypted Audio Files
Dec 31, 2010

Hi - I have been using express scribe for months without problem, receiving and sending transcription files.  Now, however, one of my contracts has started using geardictate.  I cannot open the files they are sending through express scribe?  Has anyone else had this problem?  After hours of looking for a solution via the internet I think the problem is that the files are encrypted when transferred?  Is there a way to open these files without having to go through th ...

I just started a job using Emdat Inscribe, and my footpedal I ordered hasn't come in yet, so I have been using the function keys to play audio.  I have been doing this for about a week now with no problem, but today I log in to work though and the keys are no longer working.  The only way I can get the audio to play is by using the mouse.  Anyone know why this may be?  I haven't changed any of the settings, so I am not sure why they won't work now.  TIA. ...

Emdat/InScribe 4.97 Users - I Need Some Info...
Sep 19, 2010

I've been using an old version(4.3) with the OK of the company I transcribe for.  But I'm now having so many technical issues that I need to install the upgrade of 4.97.394. A previous upgrade required the use of the InScribe internal player.  I tried this, bought 2 different foot pedals, and neither one worked for me, as both interfered with my expansions. One pedal I tried was the Start-Stop.  If I was in the process of starting or stopping play at the same time I wa ...

Shorthand Issues With Emdat Inscribe
Jul 22, 2011

I'm trying to use my SH with the Emdat Inscribe platform but have been having some issues. Sometimes when I type a shortcut, it does not expand. Like I will type "tp" and it does not expand to "the patient", it just stays "tp". If I backspace and delete it and retype it again, then it will expand. Also, shorthand is deleting random characters when it expands. Like I will type "nad" and it will expand "no cute distress" instead of "no acute distress". It just deletes random letter!? Ha ...


Emdat Inscribe - It Involves A Lot Of Steps To Do Everything
