I'm also experiencing problems with Express Scribe and Mavericks. It looks like there's a memory leak in Express Scribe (v 5.5. intel) with OS X 10.9, possibly related to the use of a foot pedal. It takes only an hour before Express Scribe is using over 1 GB of memory, and eventually it crashes. Any updates on this issue?

Edit: this is possibly resolved in the new beta version (5.63). Will test further.

Edit v2: seems to work okay after a couple of hours transcribing with foot pedal. Memory usage stable at about 20 MB.

Hi there,

 

I just installed the latest version of Express Scribe for Mac. It doesn't seem to recognise the F17 - F19 keys when setting up hot keys (F16 works). I see this issue cropped up in an earlier version of Express Dictate (see http://www.nch.com.au/express/versions.html). Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Hi, I'm having this exact same issue again with the latest version of Express Scribe for Mac (5.50) on OS X 10.8.1. I can't remember if I did something last time or it was fixed in an update. Any help much appreciated.

Regards,

Dawn

I've been using Express Scribe on the mac for a couple of years now. I only use MP3 files with it, and it seems to work okay. Whenever I'm sent a WAV, I'll use Switch (also by NCH - free version available) to convert it to MP3, and then load the MP3 into Express Scribe. Macs and WAV files have never been the best of friends it seems.
