Are there any good quality fairly inexpensive alternatives to ExpressScribe?

Would love some input on a good but inexpensive headset to use. Not comfortable with regular earphones (like for iphone) or "airplane headset" (so flimsy). Thanks in advance! ...

I have been having an issue with ExpressScribe. I took a test a couple of weeks ago for a job I should have aced, but halfway into the dictation, it sounded like the dictator was on a cell or in a tunnel. I thought that maybe they were testing to see if I could do this type of work because perhaps the dictator dictates this way. I didn't fair so well. So I took another test yesterday which is in my area of expertise and I didn't get the job because of my quality. The problem is, ...

I go to the doctor a lot and have a lot of prescriptions, so I need a company that has good health insurance, and hopefully doesn't charge a lot for it. I used to work at OSi and was thinking about going back there, but another poster on here said their insurance is $1000 a month for family!!! Thanks for your help! ...

Here's how I handled being ridiculed by my TM for "allowing" my Fiesa post audits to slip to below 99% - even though the average with the QC scores was well above 99%. I found another job. One that isn't ridiculous in their QA and believes that the standard 98% quality is excellent. I'm not asked to spend hours of my time "off the clock" reviewing QA mistakes and have not had them incorrectly count off because all scores are reviewed by a head person before they are s ...

Has anyone taken any of the AHIMA-approved coding programs and gotten credentials and a job? I'm just wondering which of them prepare you adequately to pass the credential tests and get hired. I looked on the AHIMA site at the distance learning coding programs they recommend, and here they are: Camden County College Career Step Dakota State University Great Falls College Montana State University Lone Star College North Dakota State College of Science Santa Barbara City College Shor ...

I've been out of the transcription loop for the last 2 years while I've been getting my registered nursing degree. I did transcription for 20 years until I got tired of the nonsense. I'm done with school, studying to take my boards, but have been offered an hourly part-time position. Can someone tell me what hourly pay is going for now? I was production paid for most of my transcribing years for the last few years I took an hourly employee ...

Hi. Sure glad to find a place where I can "talk" to other MTs who work where I do, different than what I am used to, as I was used to being able to email co-workers! It gets lonely. And I don't get much info from my supervisor. Anyone work on the SSM Accounts? Know what has happened to the work? I am wondering whether I should just start working for my second job full time. It is straight transcription, a small company, and I get no benefits but muc ...

I understand nothing of this. I don't understand FIESA because I was not under it. However, what I do understand is a cut in pay. I'm doing well right now if make $200.00/week, mostly OOW, working a total of probably 3 days a week, and $200/week is actually on the higher side of the estimate. So, here is my prayer for me and all you warriors. Come Lord Jesus, come. Deliver us out of Egypt, from this Pharaoh known as Nuance. Such deception is a ...

I ran an error report for all reports, all accounts on my platform for this quarter, 10/1 - 10/18. So far the Quality Index is 84% vs Quality Score 99.18%. Didn't they advertise this new error scoring as working out in our favor? Doesn't look like it to me. This is based on 2194 jobs and 105,358 lines audited on E5. I checked the box that says view all corrections on the correction report. ...

I have the free version but it sounds tinny and I have tried the bass fixes they mentioned on the site. Just wondering if anyone owns the Pro version to know if it's worth buying or if it is going to sound the same way. I started a new job last week and am struggling because I am leaving so many blanks from the echo of ExpressScribe. TIA ...

I am trying to transcribe files in Express Scribe. The first file keeps speeding up and going really fast, even when I decrease the speed button on the display. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have been an MT for decades, using Word Perfect, then Bayscribe, and now another platform. I never worked in Word. I was in the dark about a lot of things, being at my previous job for over 10 years, perfectly content, not realizing the chaos that was going on in this industry. After being sold about 2 years ago, I had to learn a new platform, learn VR, and finally after a few years, understand how to use this particular platform. Please bear with me as I ask a few ...

I was using the free version of ExpressScribe and had no problems. I purchased it yesterday, and now my wav files won't download. Nothing has changed. Can someone help me? I did not pay for their support help, and am wondering if this is some sort of way that they want to get me to purchase the support help. Thank you. ...

New to this. How can I listen to file in ExpressScribe and type it in MS Word? ES gives me the area where I can type it, but I would rather no have to copy and paste if I can just type it in Word but still listen to the dictation. Any info would be helpful. Thanks so much! ...

Hi, all, I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I'm having with ExpressScribe. I have used the free version for years. I recently uninstalled it because I had an issue with it playing the files I needed, and after the uninstall, I re-downloaded the program. However, now I only get a trial version, and when I try to set up my pedal, the message pops up that my pedal doesn't work with the trial version and that I can upgrade to Pro. I didn' ...

I desperately need an alternative to ES. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling for the free trial version several times. I finally kept getting a message that I could no longer download the free trial, so I purchased the Pro version because I was promised that I was also paying for tech support. The program keeps freezing up. I am having an awful time loading files. Yesterday afternoon I was trying to load files and it took me an entire 4 hours to get 15 files loaded with no more ...

Could someone tell me when load and delete voice files into ExpressScribe, how the heck do I get it to save the original date and time stuff was recorded instead of changing it to the date and time I brought it into the program. Frustrated. Thanks all. ...

Recently I downloaded ExpressScribe onto my PC, but shortly thereafter I had to delete it because my computer kept jamming up!! Now I'm reading various complaints on this board about the program so thought I'd post this to see if anyone else had similar problems with it. Any recommendations for other player software programs that can handle WAV files? Thanks! ...

When a doctor uses markers at the beginning of each patient's dication in a recording, how can I access those in Express Scribe when listening to it? I have e-mailed the company twice, and the first reply was totally unrelated to my question. There was no reply to the second query. I am currently using the free dl version of ExpressScribe but would glady upgrade to the $30 version if I was sure I could access the markers. Thanks for any help! ...

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. ...

I was in the middle of working on a file on ExpressScribe Pro and a box popped up saying that it had expired and that I would have to purchase it. It had said at the top that it was licensed and my name. I was having issues with playing the files and they sent me an update link to fix it. Now a month later it tells me that my program has expired and that I have to purchase it. I am so frustrated right now and NCH will not answer my questions anymore or respond in any way ...

After 2 weeks or so it wants you to buy the Pro version. It has always been FREE!! I had to change computers and thus had to download it again and now after 6 weeks of multiple downloads, it won't let me set up the foot pedal... says I must buy it Any ideas out there? Or other freebies that work as well? ...

Asked the sender to resend in case there was an error. 2) Want to try other programs (dictation software), but don't know how to save the files that I have in ExpressScribe so that I may load them into another program. Thanks. ...
