ExpressScribe jamming up computer - Hunter
Posted: May 06, 2011
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!

I downloaded Express Scribe and have not been able to use it at all. It is on my computer but that is as far as I got. I have Windows 7 and a USB-1 foot pedal. Next week the Geek Squad is coming to help me with this. If you have any suggestions before the Geek Squad comes I would appreciate them. Thanks.

Some Questions About ExpressScribe Apr 05, 2012I 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 ...

Problem With ExpressScribe Jul 19, 2012Hi, 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' ...
Alternative To ExpressScribe Sep 29, 2012I 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 ...

Can I Access Markers In ExpressScribe? May 08, 2012When 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! ...
ExpressScribe Won't Play A Wav File Jun 29, 2012I 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. ...
ExpressScribe Pro Expired? So Frustrated...... Jul 11, 2012I 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 ...
ExpressScribe Audio Quality Jul 29, 2012I 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, ...

GearPlayer/Start-Stop/ExpressScribe Oct 04, 2014Hi!
I am setting up to work digitally from home (good-bye tapes!).
I have to get software and am looking for recommendations/information on which would be the best. Thank you so much in advance for your input.
I already have setup an FTP site with MTFTP, and must say it costs a little more than some that I looked at but came highly recommended from a friend. It was very easy to navigate and setup. One quick call to tech went very well, very helpful. At this point, woul ...
Infinity Foot Pedal... What Program? Using ExpressScribe... Aug 22, 2011Hi there!
I've been using ExpressScribe for my Infinity USB pedal, but I can't stand it! I'm used to being able to tap the middle pedal once and it automatically rewinds a few seconds, know what I mean? So far I can only get ExpressScribe to rewind by pushing a different pedal, and I don't like how long it takes, and how inconsistent that is. So...

Computer Age VS 6.1 Sep 10, 2010I was just wondering how old some computers are that are having problems with 6.1 and if there are people with newer computers that handles it better. Mine is a MQ computer that is 4 years old now and it bogs down quite a bit. Everything is sluggish now. I do have 1 GB of ram and 1.84 GHz, so 6.1 shouldn't take a toll on it as bad as it is. I'm just wondering if I should ask the Q for an upgrade, if that is the problem. Knowing the RAM and proces ...
