I've spent two whole weekends on this and still not solved the problem! At last I'm able to load the dictation piece which is an MP3 file. I click "load" on the main screen where the ExpressScribe transcribing image is, then I get another screen where my document files are, I point to my transcription tape file, and click "Load" again. But when I go back to the main ExpressScribe page where the Welcome Tape is, my dictation tape does not appear there. I click "Play" but all I hear is "F1 Key". Can anyone help? How do you make the transcription file appear on the main page where all the dictation tapes should be? I've come this far, and this is really holding me back. AND IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!
