It's not that I dislike it, but it should have settings that allow us to fast forward and rewind audio to any time lapse we want. The paddle is difficult to carry around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of customer support as there is no phone number for a quick response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Express Scribe is the most cutting edge, industry-standard transcription based audio player available. It's support for a myriad of audio formats is second to none. In addition to it's file support, it has amazing hardware support for the various transcription foot pedals out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My biggest gripe about Express Scribe is that once you purchase the professional version, if your version goes out of date, there doesn't seem to be a place to find older versions on the web to be able to re-install the version you have paid for, hence forcing another purchase if you need to restore your computer.

I like best that it's a one-time fee rather than a subscription; what you see is what you get. The software also comes with a decent trial period to really let you get a feel for it prior to purchasing, which is great. I've used that for aspiring transcriptionists to make sure they have a knack for typing prior to hiring, and it's made a big difference. It's a fairly intuitive software that's easy to learn and use, yet it has the capability to be customized for optimization. It works well with a foot pedal and gives control over playback speed. There are several help resources online available to help if you have questions or issues. Another upside is that you can also set up hotkeys and customize controls to enable you to be more productive while typing, resulting in faster turnaround times.

It's not a huge downside, but it would be nice if there were simple audio enhancing features built into Express Scribe. Currently, if I have a poor quality audio file, I have to manipulate it in a different software prior to loading it into Express Scribe. This aspect is least helpful because I have to spend time going to an outside application and editing the audio. Having very simple enhancing options would save me a few steps and would allow my transcriptionists to be a bit more self-reliant with those types of issues, as currently I'm the only person who can enhance audio files. I would also like to see both the elapsed and remaining times, not just one or the other; this would be an easy update that would allow me to see exactly where I am in the file and set goals for myself around productivity.

- Very little time is allowed for the premium trial option. The software stops working like after a day, promoting you to buy the premium version if you wan to continue using it.

- Express scribe lacks an automatic auto-correct feature for correcting spelling mistakes. The work around on this is that the software easily integrates with Microsoft Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my free time, I work as a transcriber and express scribe is my number one tool for the job. It has many features that make the work of transcribing very enjoyable and much easier.
