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 @pip, for the clarifications. I was able to get ES to load my mp3 through manual file loading, then turn it into a .DCT file from the file/ menu. Little good I see now since I do not have weeks to get a transcription completed.

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.

Was this ever fixed? I may be one dumb bastard but I cannot get ES to accept my WAV or MP3. Is it supposed to happen by magic? I need software which will take a recording I made of a speech and print it out (as best as possible). Isn't this what ES is supposed to do?

Thanks

I have posted elsewhere on this NCH board but it certainly appears that the NCH techs rarely visit. I don't find it amusing that I have to purchase tech support or software just to get basic operation questions answered, that are required by my company to know before purchasing.

Is there any Tech on this board at all?

Hi All -- my first post. I love this program.

I was just ready to purchase the Pro version of VideoPad when a client I'd just did a slideshow for came back to me nothing worked in IE -- at all. I even tried rendering the same file at about 1/8th the size of previous one and that did not work either. I have several people checking, all same results. While IE does not have a Flash plugin, each has a Flash player installed. So I am tearing my hair out to solve this problem. The code I am using in the index.html I have generated in Dreamweaver MX, selecting either Shockwave or Flash - which I am told is not that great a difference; in fact comparing the code is practically the same thing.

 

I also realizes there are variables in a person's local memory which the browser uses -- but most of my testors have new machines. I have 4GB of RAM and cannot make it work in IE as well. I have searched your knowledge-base but have not found other complaints. Surely I am not crazy here?

 

Help, please

Hello???? Anyone from the company on this forum? Please tell me what I am doing wrong (or not doing right) so I can purchase your software. Thanks.
