Cannot Open Express Scribe Files
Jun 16, 2010

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 recently downloaded Express Scribe from my community college's website.

Inscribe Audio Test For Applying--Is This For REAL??
Jun 23, 2013

Is that audio file transciption FOR REAL? Is that truly what you transcribe, or is there something that we can actually understand, as if English is spoken--for example, the last audio file.   Sorry I could not put the file here. But to get to it, you just go to inscribe's website, apply, and download the application to your desktop. You have to have a zip extractor, so I used winzip and it opened fine. Anyways, I listened on express scribe, and I was shocked that the words--the dica ...
