Hello, I am working on a huge assignment of 500 files. Each time I put a file in the Done File, it shows up again with all the other files I've done. Also, I keep getting an error message that says, "attempt to delete file ..." - when I haven't tried to delete anything. This error message will not go away. It continually pops up.
Please help. I am going crazy. Trying to find the next file after the rest of them reappear is very difficult since they are named by using a long series of numbers.
Thank you so much.
I'm going to take a guess that the problem is coming about because you're running out of room. If you look into C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NCH Swift Sound\Scribe\Done or the same pathway with "Current" at the end, you'll find that your transcription files are converted into a kind of wav file. Either NCH has a limit in these Done and Current folder or you're just running out of space on your hard drive. My suggestion is the following: If you have room on your hard drive, copy the 500 original files to a folder on your hard drive, and load them a few at a time into Scribe. If you can't do that, burn them onto a CD and load them from there (using Load Dictation Files, and giving the drive letter as the folder to look in).
When you are done transcribing and checking each or several files, completely delete them one by one, by highlighting the file in the Scribe window and holding down the Control button (Ctrl) and Delete at the same time. You'll get a warning that it will completely delete it. It won't touch the file you've saved on your hdd or cd, just in the "Current" folder.
An alternative way to delete them is to mark them done, and then go into C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NCH Swift Sound\Scribe\Done, and manually delete the files in there. I think it's terribly labor intensive, but it's been recommended by Admin.
Then you should be able to load another one or several of your 500 files. And repeat the process.
Good luck! KRN
