geardictate encrypted audio files - barbie


Posted: Dec 31, 2010

Hi - I have been using express scribe for months without problem, receiving and sending transcription files. 

Now, however, one of my contracts has started using geardictate.  I cannot open the files they are sending through express scribe?  Has anyone else had this problem?  After hours of looking for a solution via the internet I think the problem is that the files are encrypted when transferred?  Is there a way to open these files without having to go through the expense of purchasing gearplayer?

Thanks so much for any help!

Have you tried Switch? Software that changes voice files from 1 type - to another. Free trial. Not sure if

works with encrypted files but maybe worth a try

Hi I posted this once but not sure if it went through.  I use Olympus Transcriptoin Kit and can usually transcribe any type of voice file by dragging it into the system.  One of my doctors accidentally encrypted his dictation and now my transcription module asks me for a password to decrypt it.  The problem being of course he doesn't even know how he did that and I am not sure how to get this encrypted from here.
