For those MTs using Gear Player - wileo

Are you happy with it?  Can you say why or why not? How does Gear Player compare to other players such as Bytescribe or Express Scribe?  Is the sound quality better?  Anything info at all would be great!  Thanks!

and prefer Express Scribe over them all. I find it easier to "tweak" the file if I need to. Just my 2 cents.

I found ExpressScribe to be pathetic. (sm) - Yochana

If you slow down the voice it is draggy sounding. It was always glitching on me. My company gave us a download of Start-Stop and I just LOVE it. You can speed up the dictation or slow it wayyyyy down without distortion. It is really easy to use and have never had any problems with it. Will play nearly all types of files...wav, dss, MP3, IVF, MTS, MPEG, MPG, VOB, etc. You can place bookmarks in the voice file and with hotkeys jump back to that place and relisten. It is $99.00 for just the software (no pedal). Well worth it. Sound clarity is so good. www.startstop.com Hope this helps.

I have both GearPlayer and Express Scribe. I prefer GearPlayer. When I try to slow down files with Express Scribe, the sound is horrible. I haven't used Bytescribe lately, so I can't comment on that.

Does an Infinity USB-1 pedal work with Start Stop software? Thanks!

Gear Player Wont Convert Files?
May 24, 2013

Hey guys, I'm so frustrated because for some reason my Gear Player will not play my files. This is the second time this has happened. I don't know what I did the first time to make it work, it just sort of happened. When I get work, the files will automatically go into Gear Player, but then when I try to load to file it says "Converting File" and then it just never loads. It doesn't make any sense because it happens to files that I've already played too so I know they should ...

Transcription Gear's Atom Live System?
Jun 25, 2011

Have any of you transcribed or managed transcriptionists/dictation on Transcription Gear's Atom Live System?  If you are a transcriptionist how fast was it to get your transcription and send it back, how clear was the audio? How stable was the player? If you are a transcription manager and managed the work flow did it give you enough flexibility to be able to route work the way you wanted to your transcriptionists?  I am thinking of using it and just want to see what you all thoug ...

Help! I May Need New Player Software...
Apr 18, 2011

Hi.  I've been using Express Scribe for years now and have never run into a situation where it couldn't play the files that I was working with.  Recently I got a new job and now .ds2 files are going to be used more often and I just found out that Express Scribe doesn't play those.  UGH! I don't have the kind of money to buy $100 software like Bytescribe.  Does anyone know of any other wavplayer programs that are free or very low in price? Or maybe someon ...

Media Player

Having More Than One Voice File Player
Jan 02, 2011

I currently use GearPlayer, and with one of my clients this is required for downloading voice files and uploading completed documents, therefore cannot get rid of it.  GearPlayer is fine for my other accounts as those voice files come via email and FTP and I save them to my system and they open and play on GP just fine. My issue now is if I want to apply with a company who requires ByteScribe or ExpressScribe - or any other player, those are just the two that I am looking at presently - c ...
