Hi: For those MTs using the above, what do you all use? Thanks
DSS2WAV - Nina

I use DSS2WAV. As the name suggests, it converts both DSS and DS2 formats to WAV, which you can then play in Express Scribe. It comes with a 30-day trial period, so you can try before you buy.

I used to have to convert the DS2 files with a converter software package, but since I got Bytescribe, it plays them without having to convert. I really like it! :-)
I use ExpressScribe Pro - Stacy

I just use the upgraded version of ExpressScribe to play my DSS/DS2 files for work. I got it on sale for only about $19.99.

Does anyone get a error like this in Chartscript.net? "Voice file failed to load. Object does not support this property or method." I need help fixing it. Thank you! ...
Hello,
This is for the small MTSO or MT who serves a few clients:
Which method are you using for accessing digital audio files? If FTP. are the dictators downloading them on your website or are you accessing them from theirs? Anyone here using one of the services for this? If so, which one and how is the cost working out?
Also was interested in info on transcribing/player software, particularly QuickScribe.
Thanks. ...
I am testing for a company and not familiar with dropbox. I have gear player and I am trying to get the voice file from dropbox to load into it but cannot. How do I get voice files from dropbox top play. Thanks!!! ...
I was wondering if anyone can tell me the easiest method to use for obtaining voice files. Would it be to have the doctor dictate and then upload to an FTP site? I think he was hoping for a phone line. Does anyone use a phone system in their home for the docs? If so, what is it?
Thanks for any info. ...
I transfer encrypted voice files with winzip through gmail. I am having problems getting them go through with their recent changes. Is there another HIPPA compliant program or way to transfer these files? Thanks ...
I work on eBTXT and am told there is no way for me to relisten to the audio after it goes to QA, but of course my TSM can, which gets me nowhere. Is there a way to save the voice file to my computer? I would of course delete any patient demographics. I hate not being able to relisten to my reports that QA reviewed, especially since they're just guessing and changing what they want. I haven't been able to locate anywhere on my computer where files are stored even ...
I am trying to do a transcription test and the company I used to work for changed my computer setup and I can no longer use Express Scribe to play voice files using my foot pedal. Does anyone know where the settings are to make it play voice files once they are on Express Scribe and where on my computer do I check to see what the foot pedal setting is? I have been trying to fix this so I can get through the transcription test and hopefully MAYBE ACTUALLY GET A JOB?&nbs ...
Anyone click on the Documed link for testing. They have voice files with patient's names and one even has date of birth, along with physician's city and state location. Doesn't this push the envelope for HIPAA regulations? Just seems wrong to me. ...
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 wanted to know some pointers to get ahead with understanding a doctor's dictation in certain parts of a voice file. I am having a hard time even though I have been doing MT work for over a year.
Any suggestions would really help.
Thanks ...
The office I work for recently switched to iknowmed. There is no way to speed up or slow down the dictation in iknowmed. Is there some way I can transfer the dictation to Express Scribe? ...
I was wondering, is anybody making any money at all on voice? I keep hearing just minimum or maybe a little more. I call minimum wage 7.50 to 8.00 an hour. My experience with it was at one point I was told that I hadn't made enough for minimum and they had to do make-up pay. So how is everybody's experience with voice? I run from it, and I just want to know if anybody really can make an money? Thanks. ...
Does anyone know where I could look at a rad report format online? I have AAMT Book of Style, but it does not show a format for radiology. All of the books online you have to buy. All I need is to know a format for a radiology report. ...
When typing combination medications should you put the dosage abbreviation after each medicaotin..... Example: hydrocodone 5 mg/325 mg or hydrocodone 5/325 mg????
Also, what if it is a medication combination that uses both mg and mcg? Example: 75 mg/200 mcg. I received a correction back from my boss and she had it 75/200 mg and, considering that part of the medication is mcg, i think that her correction is actually incorrect. ...
A history and physical examination report. Doctor has already dictated information for EXTREMITIES subheading, but later dictates more info for same subheading. Should I combine second set of extremity info with first set of info? Thanks! ...
I am not sure how to format this medication and I think there might be a stumble also. Doctor says "... 2 tabs 125 mg 2 times p.o. t.i.d." Wonder whether I should edit out the either "2 tabs" or "2 times" as she does seem to correct herself. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated? Thanks ...
In a verbatim account:
"patient is into" (doc lists medications)... Patient is into?? Very clearly said.
"there are no labs available on the chart." (doc goes onto lists extensive lab results)
Says also very clearly "this consultation was not necessary", however I am not sure if he is speaking to someone else, or if it is part of the dictation! I hear it clear as a bell, it just seems a snippy ending comment.
I am going to type it out as I hear it, b ...
Doctor dictates: Ambien 10 mg q 9 p.m.
Just making sure how the 'q 9 pm' is transcribed.
Is it like this: q.9 p.m. or q.9. p.m.?? Not sure....any help would be appreciated. I am new to the job and want to make sure i do this correctly.Thanks ...
Okay........ now don't laugh at this question. I recently had to pull up another transcriptionist's report, and came across something I've never seen before. I couldn't find the formatting this MT used anywhere else, so I am wondering if any of you have. I always type "90th percentile", "56th percentile", etc. when peds are talking about growth charts. This MT typed "90%tile", "53%tile", etc. Is that actu ...
Anyone know the correct way to format autopap? Is it AutoPAP, AutoPap, autoPAP, etc.? I can't find this in my references and I see it many ways online. TIA! ...
I know when there are more than 1 diagnoses, you list each one separately. How do you handle it when the dictator gives 4 separate diagnoses, then "etiology to be determined" at the end? List everything under 1 dx, or list "etiology to be determined" as a separate dx?
Thanks. ...
