would this bug be the same for file.WAV? if so, when will the fix be available? I would really like my Express Scribe pro to start working again! (Right now, I'm running v 5.03 off of my laptop while working on my desktop, and it's a pain in the rear!) If the bug won't be out for a while, is there any where I can get v 5.03 again? Thanks.

Barry - ES isn't a word to text converter...I use it to listen to dictation in order to transcribe what I hear. I use ES instead of RealPlayer because ES works with a foot pedal to start, stop, rewind, and fast forward. If I'm not mistaken, you're looking for something that converts words to text and cuts out the middleman transcriptionist, right? I don't think it's free, but Dragon voice recognition is a speech to text program. Sorry if I've understood you wrong, though! As for your first question, this was never fixed. I'm using my laptop to listen to the files through ES while working from my desktop. Ugh. And don't bother purchasing tech support or software - I did and it's not been any more help than this forum. I figure you win some, you lose some when it comes to free (or low-cost) programs. I just don't want to have to shell out the money for a better program like GearPlayer or CyberPlayer.

Thanks for your response - sorry I didn't see this sooner. I tried what you suggested, but it's still giving me the same message.

I downloaded another codec, and am now getting the message "opening audio file failed" when I try to open it with Express Scribe. Any thoughts/suggestions?

I apologize if this problem has been solved in another thread, but I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere. I have Express Scribe on my laptop and it works fine with the files that I am using. I bought a new desktop and am trying to set it up, but for some reason, the same files used with Express Scribe on my laptop are not working on my desktop. I can see the files in Express Scribe, but they load as 00:00 and I get the error message "Opening audio file failed. Cannot open the file "(whatever file I'm trying to load)." Check it exists and you have read access." As I said, these same files work perfectly fine on my laptop. Any suggestions? I tried getting the Rhetorex codec, but it says that the version of the file is not compatible with the version of Windows I'm running. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. Thank you for any help!
