how to take my current Express Scribe library and copy it onto a new computer? - amf
Posted: Dec 04, 2012
Hello,
I wonder if anyone can tell me how to take my current Express Scribe library and copy it onto a new computer? I'm currently working on a computer I bought in 2007 so I figure it's going to go soon. I am trying to get my new computer set up so when the old one goes down I can hit the ground running. I do have the disk so I can install it on the new puter, but I don't know how to get my current library imported into the new one. I certainly don't want to reinvent the wheel, you know?! There must be a way! Thanks!
you would need to locate the - file where Express Scribe

creates the library information on the "old" computer, "copy" it, find the same file in express scribe folder on the "new" computer, and "replace it" with the copied file from the old one. It should work that way. That's how I have to do it with my shorthand library. If having problems, check the "help" file on express scribe. they should have something that will guide you through the transfer process. good luck.

Express Scribe Difficulties May 03, 2011I 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 ...
