"Amazing UI for a transcription software that can handle audio and video"
5/5
What do you like best about Express Scribe?

I really like the program's hotkey controls that enable the user to back up the recording by increments that the user can select. This is extremely useful for reviewing recorded segments that are difficult to understand.

Express Scribe supports all but the most obscure audio formats - a fact that is exceedingly helpful when dealing with student assignments that have been recorded on a wide range of mobile phones and mp3 devices.

Users can use a hot-key to automatically insert time stamps throughout the transcript, or manually insert timestamps at key points though the document. The use of timestamps allows users to correlate the audio track with the exact position on the written transcript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Express Scribe?

Express Scribe is not available for Linux, I have to user a WINE Emulator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best that exists in the market for transcribing audio to text."
5/5
What do you like best about Express Scribe?

One of the things that have always characterized the whole package of NCH software is the simplicity of its interfaces, in the case of Express Scribe, accounts with a wonderful tool that will make your work much easier. You can reduce your level of work by relying on the benefits it offers. You should not have a headache because of the consumption of your computer resources because it has a very interesting balance that you will not notice having several applications running at the same time. Another important detail for an editor, is compatibility, has a range of formats that will allow you to work without problems. I also like the coupling that makes analogous and digital recorders, an absolute genius. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Express Scribe?

They have all the components to be one of the most used options on the market, I can not describe any of its qualities negatively because it has worked perfectly to date, perhaps in the near future will incorporate an improvement in its interface, which works very well, just that could be a little more stylized, none of that detracts from its great capabilities to make work easier.

"Utilizing Express Scribe in the Medical Field"
5/5
What do you like best about Express Scribe?

Express Scribe is a software that is often used in the medical field, or the legal field to transcribe for professionals. The software allows for, per say a doctor, to speak into the system and the software transcribes what is being said onto the computer. This allows for improved patient to doctor interaction with the minimal errors in the transcribing aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Express Scribe?

For the majority of the time that Express Scribe software is utilized, there are minimal spelling and typing errors. However, there have been a few times where a nurse or medical professional has talked at a very fast pace and the Express Scribe will miss a word in a sentence. Besides the few occasions that takes place, there are no negatives to Express Scribe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Express Scribe - Free Software for Transcriptions"
3/5
What do you like best about Express Scribe?

This sound and/or video playback software is compatible with a multitude of formats, which is a huge advantage when taking dictations. It has a free trial version to test its capabilities and decide if it's worth buying the license. Additionally, it is very lightweight software, doesn't have many requirements, and its development is very good, as it doesn't take up much space and its download is quick and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Express Scribe?

The interface is a bit complex at first, so diving in without informing oneself and then pretending to discover the program as it is used is practically impossible without using a guide. Mastering the program one hundred percent takes time, practice, and the program's functions are difficult to find if you haven't used them more than once. Therefore, when working with it, it can be slower and even a bit more cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"great program!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Express Scribe?

I like that it is a simple to use software that has all pieces that i need to successfully transcribe interviews. It allows you to use a pedal to change speeds, making it even easier to use. Definitely a good program! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Express Scribe?

There is very little i dislike about this program. I did wish there was a free version that I could use with limited functions, since I do not use it often enough to purchase it. But since it is a quality program it makes sense that it costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Express Scribe?

I have had trouble transferring this program to new computers, but usually support has been able to help me with the issues. I also have found it lags sometimes on rewinding but the issue seems to come and go. I would love if they could fix that to be more consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
