Express Scribe/Dictate - hc


Posted: Feb 18, 2013

I have a doctor interested in me typing up his dictation and is also interested in purchasing software to do this.  I found Express Scribe/Dictate on the internet and he seems happy about the software.  I am a little confused since the company is in Australia and do not want to lead him down the wrong road.  I am wondering if there are any problems with Express Scribe, or if one would have to end up purchasing other equipment to go with it in order to use it, like a microphone, special pedal, etc.  I know they have a 14 or 15 day free trial, but we are looking to purchase.  I also find it odd that I have found no support telephone number for Express Scribe/Dictate, again it appears to come from Australia.  Do any of you have an experience with this software?  TIA

I have used Express Scribe for years and love it. But, I use an old version of it that was free to download. I do not like their newer version and I don't think they offer the free version anymore. I have used several different players and I personally liked the sound of the voice best with them. Definitely listen to the same voice file on each trial version you check out to see how it sounds and choose the one you like. I would also do some research on the internet and look at the reviews from people. I've only used it as a player and not to record with, so I don't know how that end of it is as far as quality. You usually do have to buy microphones that are compatible with the system and it just takes a regular wav pedal. Congrats on getting the doc!!

Thank you so much for your input! nm - hc

Dictate Express -- Some Clarification
Jun 04, 2013

There were some recent posts regarding Dictate Express and their rate of pay.  This is general transcription and the account I am on has very clear speakers.  A template is provided to use.  Granted, there were "gripes about their pay; however, the first report I did was a little over 900 lines, so if I can do 2-3 files a day, then that would make for a decent paycheck. ...

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 ...
