There is one additional step when docking files from Sony Recorders - using the Sony Voice editor to export to WAV files. Please refer to File Formats Technical Support for notes on DSS file format support. Whenever you need to "Dock" recordings (1) from PCMemoScriber click on the "Transfer from Voice Recorder" button then, when download is complete, (2) click on the Dock button on Express Scribe.
Using Express Scribe select File / Transfer from Portable (Dock) / Audio File Transfer Method then browse to the folder C:\Program Files\PCMemoScriber.
You must install PCMemoScriber (from the CD-ROM supplied with the Sanyo Recorders) on the PC running Express Scribe. Then you will be able to load the WAV files from the Philips recorders.
You must install the software provided with the recorder on the computer running Express Scribe. These recorders work well with Express Scribe. The list of recorders below contains basic information for installing the recorder's software and setting up the recorder to dock with Express Scribe. This option is convenient for people who continually make new recordings without deleting old ones, and will prevent Scribe from importing old files repeatedly.
Use this option if you are using a digital recorder that uses an open file format to record your dictation.
See our website for more information on recommended handheld recorders Then you will not need to Dock feature at all (the typist simply opens the attachment). Note: If you are using a PDA to dictate the easiest way to send and receive recordings is to install the free Pocket Dictate software from and use email to send the recordings directly to your typist. If you are using an analog microcassette recorder or a digital recorder that uses proprietary formats you can use the Audio Cable Method to record in the dictation. If you have a digital handheld recorder that uses the open WAV file format and comes with its own connection cable and software you can use the Audio File Transfer Method. Transfer from Portable Handheld Recorders - Dock Express Scribe supports two methods to transfer recordings from a handheld recorder.
