Right click on the file name and save it to your computer. Open ES, and I believe there is a button on top to get or load dictation. Click that and browse for the voice file on your computer that you downloaded. It will pull the voice into the player.

Download the file and save to your desktop. Open Express Scribe. Drag the voice file from your desktop into Express Scribe. Voila!

Downloading files - Maybe just too tired...

Cannot Play Wav Files In Windows Media, Byte-Scribe Or Express Scribe. Help???

I have voice files sent to me that I cannot play in Windows Media or Express Scribe.

One of those MTtest sites.  Called their help desk and they said a lot of people have trouble, not to worry and try this.   I tried that.  Nothing.  They said to call back and they would work it out.  I don't know if this is worth it.  The testing portions were fine, went quickly but just trying to get the transcription part up is time consuming and frustrating.  Anyone else have problems with this? ...

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 ...
