Check box or grayed out, etc. Otherwise, no issues\! > > I transcribe files for a contracting company. It works great with a foot pedal, and is easy to load files. ----- ### "Express Scribe Was Okay Until..." — 2.0/5 > **Bonnie** | *22 June 2020* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was easy to implement. The software I use now makes Express Scribe totally obsolete. To use Express Scribe now would be like returning to the stone age of manual typewriters. > > **Cons**: Not at all user-friendly or feature-rich when compared to my present software. No control over hearing the speaker as tho naturally speaking if the speed of playback were hurried or lessened. > > It was great back in the day when it was the only game in town. ----- ### "Express Scribe Makes Transcription Less Stressful" — 5.0/5 > **Deloris** | *19 August 2022* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can find and load my audio onto Express Scribe easily. I can listen to the audio and apply background reduction or increase the volume. You can use hot keys or a foot pedal with this software. Express Scribe allows you to use videos to transcribe. This is helpful when you are unsure of who is talking when you are transcribing. > > **Cons**: There is no free version of this software. You have to pay a one-time fee. The background reduction feature can help or hurt the audio. It has been times when the reduction feature made the audio worse for me. Also, I never learned how to timestamp using this software. ----- ### "Escribe great for individual licensing for business is questionable" — 4.0/5 > **Jn** | *12 March 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Escribe does what it should and is reasonable straight forward to install. I have supplier it to my customers and all the users are happy with the features and performance. If you are an individual user the product is great. For business see below. > > **Cons**: The License is tied to a single USER\!\! on one device. I am would OK with a license for a single PC license. However we have job sharing on our business PCs and a second user on the same PC requires another license. If you change users more than a very limited number of times the registration code gets blocked. I dont move from PC to PC only alternate users. Out of my 6 licenses 2 possible 3 are now blocked and it is a real pain. I give up on this product and will be purchasing a product that has a Device license. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2044567/express-scribe?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2044567/express-scribe) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
