Question for users of Express Scribe

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 ...

I am wondering if anyone uses these formats for their dictators. I have Dial Dictate in my computer, the docs dictate and then through Outlook Express it is made into voice file and sent via email for transcription. BUT I have a pretty old system, like 10 years.

According to BEST BUY you can't even buy computers with phone modems in them, let alone with ...

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 ...

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 ...

I have a pedal that I used with Express Scribe about 5 years ago. It says IN-BMG on the bottom. I worked independently for a local office using old school dictation with a tape player so packed up my pedal. I just recently started using Express Scribe again and HATE using the key prompts and want use of my foot pedal but can't get it working! I hate to buy a new one when this one would probably work if I knew the magic words. Please advise if anyone knows how to make it work! It ...

Hi all, I am trying to test today and having trouble. When I open the MTSO's dictation file it automatically opens the Windows Medial Player Window. I tried dragging it into Express Scribe, but it will not load into it that way. I cannot see anywhere that I could save it and drag it or load it. Can someone perhaps give me step-by-step instructions? I would really be grateful. Thank you. ...

I am going to have to bite the bullet and purchase the Pro version of Express Scribe. I see that it is by some miracle on sale right now.

I am getting ready to take on a job from someone and need some advice. The dictation has been done on CD/DVD, and I purchased ExpressScribe Pro to install on my computer, along with a foot pedal . I have a laptop, which of course has a CD/DVD drive .... My question is, has anyone had experience in doing this same work? Should I ask him to convert it to cassette? Any help at all would be appreciated. Have been a transcriptionist for 24 years, but haven't done i ...

I've used Express Scribe for years and years, however, lately it has been locking up on me and the only way I have found to get it unlocked is literally shutting my computer down and restarting. I am using V4.15. Has this happened to anyone else? It doesn't even shut it down through task manager. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling and so far can't find anything that has helped or made a difference. Any ideas? ...

I am looking for an alternative player to Express Scribe. Every since I upgraded the last few seconds of every single dictation are cut off. When I play them in Windows Media Player I hear the whole dictation. Obviously I cannot use WMP without a footpedal (or can I somehow?). Please help. ...
