Most of our foot pedal customers use Express Scribe transcription software - it's a great program and we're all grateful to NCH in Australia for providing it. There has been a long-standing issue with Express Scribe not being able to play .ds2 files produced by the latest Olympus dictating recorders, but the latest version 5.30 from 15.7.2011 does play .ds2 fles!
It's a great step forward which will make the software a lot more flexible, and allow use of Olympus recorders which we should add to our list very soon.
If anyone has any experience - good or bad - of playing ds2 files in Express Scribe, let us know.
