Newbie question...file won't load...

Hello,

 

So, I downloaded the Express Scribe and installed it (Windows XP Pro) which took all of half a second.

 

Everything seems simple enough, the welcome recording played, I fiddled with the buttons and thought--great.

 

I need to transcribe an mp3 file (and it's definitely an mp3 file)

 

But, I can't seem to get Express Scribe to load the file at all. In fact, no matter how I try to get Express Scribe to 'see' the file, it seems to be invisibile. I browse for files, using the browse button, and it just can't see the file at all.

 

 

Am I doing something painfully, obviously wrong?

 

Thanks... :angry::(

I'd love a hand, too; I'm using the Load command and nothing is loadable (I'm using OS X on Mac).

Hi,

 

To load an audio file do this:

- Select Load

- Select Browse Folders

- Select the Folder Containing the Audio Files you wish to open

- Click Choose

- The files from that folder will now be displayed in a list for you to select

- pick the file you wish to load

- click load

 

Hope that helps

That's what I'm trying (on a Mac). But all the .wav files on my Mac are greyed out in the browser-- not accessible, not recongized by ES. What gives?

 

Thanks.

SOLUTION:

 

What I didn't know until now was that I needed to go in to the Incoming

panel of the preference settings and designate a folder where I would put

the sound files, designate how I want the files to load and what file types

I wanted it to load. This requirement wasn't mentioned in Express Scribe's

help files, nor when I posted my problem to their message boards.
