Express Scribe
Re: Express Scribe
The one thing I didn't like about ES was that speeding up the file made the
dictator's voice not just faster, but very distorted. I speed up a couple of
my docs to transcribe them, and I couldn't do that with ES.

Yep, the audio quality stinks when you speed it up.
Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately) I have no poke-along dictators.

I think it is the latest version that is having the issues with playing the
DSS files, so she needed a previous version. I could be mistaken, though.

That's a bummer, because I really like the program. It's very easy to use
and yet sophisticated enough to do everything I need. It installed easily
and was a cinch to setup. Sound quality was excellent.
Once you've gotten used to that foot pedal feature in Express Scribe,
however, you just can't go back to using one that doesn't offer it. When
you think of how often we rewind to hear something again, that Express
Scribe feature is priceless, and yet, it's a free program.
Thanks for checking that out for me.

That does sound like a cool feature! I used ExpressScribe a couple of
years ago, doing some emergency work for an MT who was out after a
surgery. I had some problems with it and just no time to fiddle with
it, so I bought GearPlayer, which worked for me right away. That would
be great to be able to change the setup of the foot pedal, though, and I
don't blame you for not wanting to give that up.

You know what, I didn't know how much I liked and depended on that feature
until I installed GearPlayer and missed it immediately.
I've used Express Scribe for years and just sort of assumed that all or most
playback software had that feature.

Re: Express Scribe
PlayBax has the feature. I never take my foot off of the middle. If I need
to back up just a bit I just push the middle part of the foot pedal (play)
several times quickly... push more times, backs up more.

That's exactly how it works in ES also.
You can also adjust how far back it will rewind with each tap. There is
just no way I could use a program that didn't offer that. I'm totally
spoiled in that regard.
Nice to know that at least one other program has it.

Unfortunately, the newer versions don't have my favorite feature where you
can rewind by tapping the center of the pedal.
I downloaded and installed the newest version and immediately got rid of it
and went back to 4.05.
