DS2 VOICE FILES - shodge

Posted: Aug 10, 2010

Is there a way to convert a DS2 voice file to a DSS file, so I can play it in Express Scribe???? TIA

Nope, there sure isn't.You need the Olympus Player Standard program to convert those files or tell your doc to switch his recorder to always dictate in dss or wav format.

Months ago I had to do the same thing, I googled it and found this (sm) - anon

I've been using the Switch Sound File Converter ever since with no problems.

Good luck!

I don't think this works on ds2 files though just dss files. If it does (and I am going to check, 'cuz that would be just great to have) thanks for the link!

You may be right but I am also running another program (sm) - anon

DSS2WAV that may be converting them as well. One or the other is doing it though because I transcribe them from ExpressScribe, I just cannot remember which.

Well I cannot get the NCH to convert the ds2 files, but am checking out the other you mentioned. The problem I have is for my ICs who receive these frustrating files--it would be nice to see if there was something that could do this for them, but free. Looks like this is a 30-day trial. I know the Bytescribe player will play the files, but that is not an option for some of my ICs as it is cost prohibitive so I am always on the lookout for something to help. Thanks again! And OP, sorry to derail your thread.

Well just finished downloading something LOL and going to give it a try now. I did tell the dr. to use just dss on the Olympus but she already did a decent amount of work on it using the ds2. I have downloaded the olympus player to play the file but you have no control of the file without using the mouse

Ugh. Feel for you! Olympus is awful about the proprietary software/pedal. You can download a free trial of the bytescribe player and maybe that will get you through the files that you do have.

turbodictation worked in coverting the sound files. Yes it is only a trial but only need it for now and it might be worth purchasing anyway. I feel that is our responsibility to be able to convert the file so we can transcribe it. The docs I work for are technically challenged and pay me geneoursly so I try to make their life easier in return Thank you

Hello, This is for the small MTSO or MT who serves a few clients: Which method are you using for accessing digital audio files?

Also was interested in info on transcribing/player software, particularly QuickScribe. Thanks. ...

I was wondering if anyone can tell me the easiest method to use for obtaining voice files. Would it be to have the doctor dictate and then upload to an FTP site?

I work on eBTXT and am told there is no way for me to relisten to the audio after it goes to QA, but of course my TSM can, which gets me nowhere. Is there a way to save the voice file to my computer? I would of course delete any patient demographics. I hate not being able to relisten to my reports that QA reviewed, especially since they're just guessing and changing what they want. I haven't been able to locate anywhere on my computer where files are stored even ...

Does anyone know where the settings are to make it play voice files once they are on Express Scribe and where on my computer do I check to see what the foot pedal setting is? I have been trying to fix this so I can get through the transcription test and hopefully MAYBE ACTUALLY GET A JOB?&nbs ...

One of those MTtest sites. Called their help desk and they said a lot of people have trouble, not to worry and try this. I tried that. Nothing. They said to call back and they would work it out. I don't know if this is worth it. The testing portions were fine, went quickly but just trying to get the transcription part up is time consuming and frustrating. Anyone else have problems with this? ...

I was wondering, is anybody making any money at all on voice? I keep hearing just minimum or maybe a little more. I call minimum wage 7.50 to 8.00 an hour. My experience with it was at one point I was told that I hadn't made enough for minimum and they had to do make-up pay. So how is everybody's experience with voice? I run from it, and I just want to know if anybody really can make an money? Thanks. ...

I have also tried a converter, but do not want to purchase one because this is for a test. So, I'm wondering if there is a certain version of ES that does allow these files? OR, ANY other advice is gre ...
