Thank you Lisa for this link. I have now managed to convert the errant dictation and get it typed. It is a pity though that we have to purchase further software.

Is there any update on finding a fix for this as I am still having the same problem with DS2 files.

I have had this problem again yestereday. The file stopped at 0.57 but the tape went on playing but no sound. The person who recorded it can hear it all the way through. I also tried converting to WAV and MP3 but it did not make any difference. Is there now a fix for this problem?

I have express scribe pro on my PC and express scribe free on my laptop. Most of the files I transcribe are DS2 files which work fine with the pro version but the free version does not recognise them. My question is can I install the pro version on my laptop and if so how? Or do I have to buy it again? Any advice would be welcome as I am unable to work on my laptop at present.

I have also found this problem intermittently with DS2 files. Also am unable to find a anything to convert the files to WAV as they don't seem to be recognised by any of the conversion software.

Having trouble with playing back dictation with hot keys and pedal so have been advised to reinstall software. But also advised to back up installer first but not sure how to do this. Can anyone advise?

Mrsmac - I have not noticed any echo or change in sound since I upgraded. Most of my dictation comes over in DSS format. It took a while to install my foot pedal but all up and running and find I use more of the hotkeys on keyboard for rewinding and fast forwarding etc. So I have not had any problems - hope you can sort it out. I don't use earphones though - are you having problems with using them?

I have now decided to upgrade to the Pro Version so hopefully I will now be able to get back to work. Very strange that I had been transcribing DSS format with the free version up until the other day.

I have had to re-download express scribe and find that the free versions runs out after a week and also I get an error message that tells me .DSS format is not supported by Express Scribe . I have been transcribing DSS dictation for many years through Express Scribe free version so cannot understand this message. Can anyone throw some light onto these two problems please?

I have got the pedal working. I found the answer on this forum - I had not changed the port to VEC pedals USB. All well now.

I have just received a new foot pedal and having installed it it will not work. Do I have to do anything to the settings within Express Scribe to make it work? Such a long time since I installed my old foot pedal which is on the blink.

When I receive an MP3 file for dictation I have to convert it using MIKSOFT which I downloaded from the internet. I can then load it into Express scribe for transcription as normal. Hope that helps.

I have been using ExpressScribe for a few years transcribing with the foot pedal. I have now started using ExpressScribe on my laptop as well but what cannot find is how to turn the (hot) F key function off. The foot pedal is working fine but also the F keys. I use F3 for autotext all the time and instead of the autotext it is slowing down the dictation. Can anyone help please?

I was only asking for an explanation not rudeness!
