Hi, I've been searching forever and yours is the easiest and most succinct post which worked! Thank you very much.

I needed to insert timestamps into various interviews we transcribe, so I Googled this topic and came up with a wide variety of people trying to write Word macros and various work-arounds (such as typing CRTL+T, ALT+TAB, CTRL+V, ALT+TAB, etc.) to insert time stamps.

 

However, I found the easiest way was already built into Express Scribe.

 

To insert timestamps into a Word document, in Express Scribe go to Settings, then select Pedals and Hot Keys. Click Add at the bottom of the box to create a System-wide Hot Key. A Window pops up asking you to press a key. In my version of Express Scribe F1 and F11 are free. I chose F1. Then a Select Command box pops up. Scroll down to Copy Time and select this.

 

Now, as you play the audio file in Express Scribe, all you have to do is press your Hot Key (F1 for me) at the point where you hear the word you want to time stamp, and then CTRL V to paste it in Word.

 

Bingo. Two keystrokes and you're pasting timestamps! And it's a system-wide hot key, so you can insert timestamps into anything.

Hi

 

Could anyone please tell me how i can download version 4.05 of Express Scribe. It seems if i download this version i will be able to load .dss files. I cant find it in the search tool or find a link anywhere. I found a couple for windows on google but the downloads wont work anymore and the rest only seem to be for Mac.

 

I'm getting really desparate now.

 

Any help would be really appreciated.

 

thanks a million.

This has been covered before. There is an issue with DSS (Olympus) files and the latest version of Express Scribe (v4.16). Please install version 4.15 available from http://www.fish4files.com/download.php?fil...4b6347ca6336641.
