[deleted]

Help! Everything was working fine and now I try to load a new file to transcribe and it will not load the file. Does anone have any suggestions?

Hi Brenda - not sure what's happening here, but I had a slightly similar problem one time. Solved it firstly by heading into the settings in (XP) D & S/App Data/NCH SS/Scribe and in there deleting all the files in the Current/Done folders. Then I uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled - thankfully worked for me . Now, if I could just get someone to help me figure out why I can't sort my files since a reinstallation of XP I'd be very happy!!

Is it possible to load the audio tracks from a DVD (conference video) into Express Scribe v.4.02 in order to transcribe? When I hit "browse" button -- ES navigates to folder on DVD; however, folder does not open. When I play the DVD on my computer in Windows media -- there is clearly video accompanied by sound, but ES cannot seem to recognize any audio files.

TIA,

dtb :blink:

Doubt it in all honesty - think it tends to deal with voice files primarily separate from video - voice files on video are a different format entirely ususally and require specialist software to pull out and listen to alone. Only thing you could possibly try to do, but take ages most likely would be to save the voice portions (if you can separate them ok) onto your hard drive, and then maybe convert them to a format ES can use?

Thanks for your reply... that's what I feared. Is there a free software that does this -- like Express Rip?

TIA,
