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.

Only load files newer than those previously loaded When this option is checked, only files with a modified date more recent than other files will be added.

Delete files after loading Select this option to delete dictation files from the folder you have specified.

Load files from sub-folders Select this option to load files that are stored in sub-folders of the main folder you have specified.

In the Dock (Audio File Transfer) dialog, you also have three options for transferring your files:

Once you have set up your handheld software, using Express Scribe select File / Transfer from Portable (Dock) / Audio File Transfer Method then browse to the folder on your hard drive where the docking software of your handheld has been set to download the WAV files. Your handheld recorder must come with software that will automatically transfer the recordings and place them in a folder on your hard drive. 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.
