Most cost effective software for playing DS2 files - MTTexas

Please see link below which might help you!
However, when I searched the internet typing in "Will expresscribe play ds2 files?" I received the following:
Bytescribe wavplayer will play DS2 files and then they said that the Olympus Lite would play them. You could go to the Olympus site and download their free software and see if it will play them. Also, you might check for a newer version of ExpressScribe on their NCH site to see if there is an upgrade which will now play them.
Good luck! I hope this helps.

There is also file conversion software...sm - alias

called DSS2WAV. I cannot remember the mfg, unfortunately, but it comes with a cost of $29 annually. I believe Olympus has their own conversion software, as well, but I don't know if they are giving it to anyone who does not have an Olympus player. I use the DSS2WAV and it works well.

You can download DSS2WAV software from the link below. It will convert the DS2 files into WAV, which you can play in your WAV player. It is a trial version, but it will work until 30 days. By that time, you would be able to decide if you want to pay for it.

I am upgrading to a new computer finally with Windows 7 and IE9. I was thrilled when everything was loading up fine-but the new version of Express Scribe will NOT play DSS files! I have a USB-1 pedal, but this new free version they have insists on us buying their $70 pedal OR their Pro version of Express scribe for $30 (on sale). I am furious! Anyone get this newer version to work w/o buying anything? Thanks in advance! ...

Ok, I'm a new at-home transcriptionist after working inhouse for years, and I am starting a new job soon but I'm confused. I was told I need an audio player that plays dss, wav, mp3 files. Can the free version of Express Scribe do this, or do I need the Pro version? Are there any other free audio players I can download? Sorry if this is a stupid question! ...

I am typing ds2 files and am using the above player which the olympus representative said was created to play ds2 files. however, I have tried taken the file from the place it was sent to me and it seemed to import into Folder A. But the file never could be seen in Folder A or the transcriptionist Tray. I did this many many many times with the same result. The Olympus rep told me to go to the message folder and copy and paste it into Folder A. I then could see it in ...

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? ...

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 can load it into the dock, but it says there are 0 minutes of dictation. If I play it on Windows Media, it says I need a codec. I don't know what that is. If I right click the file, I see it has 2 minutes of dictation on it. Why won't it play? I've tried opening it in several other places, and it just won't work. This is the free version. I've played dozens of files before. ...
