Hi I just upgraded/dowloaded the newest version of Express Scribe, 5.0. Now when I try to import my dss files, it is taking anywhere from five minutes to 20 minutes to load EACH file. Excrutiatingly slow. I wished I had never upgraded now because I have had absolutely no problems with Express Scribe in the past three years, even with previous upgrades. Can anyone help? I have no idea if I have to change settings of some kind....have never had to do so in the past. Also, if anyone has the previous/older version or versions, would they be willing to email to me? I tried to from their website, but cannot find. |0(
Your best bet is to try NCH's sound converter program, Switch, which converts DSS to wav or mp3 (since Scribe converts to wav anyhow, you may as well do the former). You may have to purchase Switch in the future to convert DSS, but it's worth the price anyway. I make a habit of saving the previous version of a program, in order to go back if I have to, precisely because the constant upgrades tend to introduce these buggie type problems.
Otherwise, if you have the Olympus CD-rom that comes with the digital recorder, it may have the ability to convert the DSS to mp3 or wav, in the same way that Sony does.
I agree, the new Scribe does load ESS slowly, but at least it does load it all right.
