How it works

GearPlayer 4 was built with ease–of–use in mind. Its advanced user interface and powerful worklist makes working efficiently easier than even.

Loading digital audio files into GearPlayer is simple. Use the built–in worklist to get a view of all of the jobs ready to be transcribed, or simply drag and drop audio files from any file or folder and drop it on top of GearPlayer. GearPlayer will automatically load the file. When you're done transcribing, simply save the text document on your PC and click "Mark Complete", GearPlayer will automatically load the next audio file.

GearPlayer with Email

GearPlayer works with your Email service by having the digital audio files transferred to your PC by Email. Using Drag–n–Drop you can move the digital audio file directly into GearPlayer and you are ready to transcribe. Files from most any digital source can be sent to you using the convenience of Email.

GearPlayer with FTP

Transferring files with FTP is the easiest and most automated way of moving audio files and documents around the internet. GearPlayer's built–in file transfer daemon moves files automatically in the background anytime your GearPlayer is running. When new work arrives, GearPlayer notifies you with a small, slide up window and an optional audible sound.

GearPlayer across a network

GearPlayer works across your network to open and play digital audio files on any computer on your LAN or WAN. This includes dictations created on dedicated dictation computers files from a source like GearDictate, even files that have been recorded with most any portable digital recorder and uploaded to a computer on your network. It gives you the power to turn your existing network into a complete dictation/transcription solution.
