The transcribing UI offers a lot more for typists than you might think would come with a ‘free’ version of professional software. While Express Scribe Transcription Free is primarily aimed at professional typists, we think that anyone else who wants to do some transcribing and typing from notes should have no problems finding this software accessible.
Works with FastFox text expander for entering medical/legal phrases and common phrases with keyboard shortcuts. Works with speech recognition software such as Dragon Naturally Speaking to automatically convert speech to text. VWorks with Microsoft Word and all major word-processors. Supports professional USB foot pedals to control playback. Once you have finished transcribing your audio files you can either mark them as "Done" (removing the file from your list) or "Dispatch" (returning and email to the original sender along with your text attachment and removing the audio file from your list. As the name suggests this option provides a miniature version of the application. If you would prefer Express Scribe to float above your word processing application you can choose Scribe Mini from the main interface toolbar. 
Above this control you can also adjust the playback volume. If needed slow down or speed up the audio playback using the speed control in the far bottom right corner.
Select the audio file in the main interface window and click the Play button to start. Depending on where you are receiving it from you can either click Load (it will open a dialogue box that will allow you to browse for the file on your PC), Load Now (if you have set up a LAN or FTP connection) or Dock (if you have to digital or cassette dictation recorder with you). Once you have your options set up you can now load your first audio file. 
Express Scribe allows you to change or set quite a few parameters including Rewind and Fast Forward Speeds, System Wide Hotkeys (to control the application without using a mouse), set up of a Foot Pedal Control (if you have one), Auto-loading of files from a LAN folder or FTP Server, choice of file types to allow (over 20 supported) and set up of a Speech Recognition Engine.From the main interface click on the Settings button.
This will give you the opportunity to play around with the controls and options to set the application up to suit your needs.
Once the application is installed you will find a example dictation file already loaded. Click on the setup exe to begin the install process. Start by downloading Express Scribe and install.
