I don't have a phone jack on my computer but want to use DialDictate, since my boss likes to use the phone to dictate.

If I get a USB voice modem and plug my telephone line into that on my PC, can this be separate from my DSL line that I use for internet?

Every time I open Express Scribe, then every time I sync files from my desktop to Express Scribe, the desktop is cluttered up with .sta files that I cannot open. I have to dump them in the trash, then next time I open ES there they are again. I am running Windows XP.

This is not a huge problem but is annoying. Any way to stop it?

TIA
