How It Works:

• GearPlayer and Your 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. New in GearPlayer is the ability to use encryption with your digital audio files using any of the supported GearTools™ like GearXport. GearPlayer uses a 'key' file to unencrypt the audio file. This gives the users of GearTools security for sensitive work without the involvement of a third party.
• GearPlayer and Your FTP Site - GearPlayer's Transport Daemon can be configured to automatically monitor up to five Internet FTP server directories and transfer the digital audio files to your PC in the background while you are typing. When using GearPlayer and GearXport your files can be encrypted for security. With GearPlayer's Auto Directory Play function these files can be loaded for playback with a key press or touch of a button. When configured the Transport Daemon can automatically start downloading files when GearPlayer is started.
• GearPlayer and Your 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 the 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.

Compatible File Format:

GearPlayer will decode and play any file format that has an installed Windows CODEC and informational header. So what does this mean to the average user? It will play files with WAV, MP3, or WMA headers attached to it. It will even play and decode some files that do not.  GearPlayer will check any file that is loaded to see if it can play the file. If it is possible for GearPlayer to play, it will give you the file length in the information window. If not, it will tell you it is an invalid file format. GearPlayer can not play proprietary formats that do not have any type of headers or file information. An example of a proprietary format is a straight PCM data file without a WAV header.
