What did you do to fix it? I'm going crazy over here and searched everything to figure it out! It's giving me a blurp saying I'm using a trial version (which I'm not) and have been able to play WAV before. It is marked as a file I can transcribe from. Would love to know how you fixed it!!!!
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 ...
Will Express Scribe v5.13 play .dss files? I'm having trouble playing one and my supervisor says she thinks it is either .dct or .dss.
This file is the only one that will not play. My software and equipment are all configured correctly.

Does anyone know how to set up the newest version of Express Scribe to recognize .wma files? I can get it to play .wav and .dss files but it will not play .wma files.
Thanks! ...
I have downloaded free Express Scribe but cannot open the loaded file. The foot pedal will work on the sample file but not the true downloaded transcription file. The file shows in Windows media because of an Ipod. Is this because Ipod is the default and how do I change it. The ES files I cannot open are DVF. I have a Wav pedal and I am able to open other Wav files. Thanks to all. ...
I am upgrading to a new computer finally with Windows 7 and IE9. I was thrilled when everything was loading up fine-but the new version of Express Scribe will NOT play DSS files! I have a USB-1 pedal, but this new free version they have insists on us buying their $70 pedal OR their Pro version of Express scribe for $30 (on sale). I am furious! Anyone get this newer version to work w/o buying anything? Thanks in advance! ...
I have been sent a number of .wav files. Express scribe can't play them, and is opening them as multi-channel files.
Windows Media player isn't playing them.
VLC isn't.
Real Player isn't.
I have renamed them, and downloaded updated drivers for my sound card. I have tried multiple computers. Another MT on the account is having the same issue.
Any other thoughts or suggestions on this?
MTSO is able to play them okay on her wave player.

Hello All,
I am hoping someone might have some quick help for me. I have just started a new account, did a test file last night, downloaded an MP3 file to Express Scribe. This is my first experience with MP3 files. Tonight I am starting actual work for this new company, did all that I did last night in terms of downloading and ES acts as though it is playing but I am getting no sound. A little window is now open on express scribe that I have never seen before and it has two channels listed. Can ...
Recently switched to Windows 7. Used this program on Windows XP with no problem. Now files do not come through or come through sporadically. Getting different pop-up boxes. One says "invalid file length". Another says "cannot log onto FTP server, may be having problems" Have checked that our password, encryption codes, etc are correct. I downloaded Classic FTP program thinking it was having problems with ftp server but that has not helped. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank ...
I just got a new laptop and I installed express scribe, which I use on my desktop, and could not load any wav files on the laptop. I did windows updates and that seemed to fix the problem, the files that day I was able to play. A file that came in today I am unable to play though, but still can play the other files from Friday. They are all wav files and on my desktop I can play them all, just not my laptop. Does anybody know what could possibly be going on here? Thanks for all the hel ...
just sitting there and it's running slow. I saw that I have 0 days selected to delete. When I delete one file at a time it takes up to a minute. Is there a way to select several at a time and delete, or even try and delete all of them? When I hit select but program did sort of hung up and did not respond. It will take me days to get all these files out of here..... Any help would be appreciated. Loading up new voice files is getting slower and slower by the day ...

I recently had to uninstall and reinstall Express Scribe. Everything seems okay except I cannot set up the back step correctly. Does anyone have any advice?
As always, thanks! ...
I have downloaded the manual but still cannot get it to work with my foot pedal. My next resort is to call in the computer man who charges $100 per hour, and hopefully he will get it up and running within that time. Any and all suggestions will be most appreciated. Thanks. ...
HELP!!! I recently had to reinstall Express Scribe. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the voice file to go back several seconds. I hope I am explaining correctly. Any advice VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! ...
I'm trying to open the same type of files that I have been doing for over a year now in Express Scribe. Today, I keep getting an error message that says opening audio file failed and to check it exists and I have read access. Has anyone else ever had this problem? How do I fix it? I don't understand what the issue is because like I said I have been opening these same files in Express Scribe for over a year. ...
I have been using Express Scribe for several years to play .wav files. Yesterday when I tried to load my files it gives me an error that says "Opening audio file failed. CAnnot open the file ----------. Check it exists and you have read access." It does exist, I do have read access. I have rebooted my computer and reinstalled Express Scribe and I still get the same error.
Can anyone help me? ...
Taking a test using Express Scribe...but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to set the back up seconds...dictation just picks up from where I left off...any assistance?? ...
Hi, I bought ES Pro in 2012 and have not had any problems with playing dictation. I also have DSS to WAV to convert files. I converted a DS2 file to WAV but a message pops up that I'm using a "demo trial version for evaluation use only" and I now need to purchase an upgrade. Ugh!!! I bought it so can it be a trial version? In the meantime I can't do my reports in WAV. Anyone else have this problem? What did you do? Trying to contact ...

For those of you that you Express Scribe....I usually have no trouble getting my files to play, but I have a few files that are .wav and they keep coming up as 0:00. Does anyone else have this problem and do you know how I can fix it so they can play?
Thanks! ...
Help! I downloaded Express scribe as a trial because a company I was going to apply with uses it. But it is not compatible with the company I am presently working for. How do I get rid of Express Scribe? Thanks! ...
I am trying to start with a new company and now express scribe will not load their wav file - help please. I have looked all over the tech help boards for similar problems at express scribe's tech help and have come up with nothing. Anyone have any idea how to solve this?
Thanks! ...
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 ...
