File title characters in emails

An issue was reported wherein non-standard characters in transcript titles were arriving incorrectly in certain email clients when sent automatically from ScribeManager.  This has been fixed by replacing the non-standard characters with underscores.

File count

An issue was reported whereby the part of the Jobs List page that displays the number of files per job was not including files in the count whose internal status was UPLOADED.  This has been corrected.

Mp3 Play Button

An mp3 play button has now been added to the Edit Job page of ScribeManager.

FTP Capability

ScribeManager now contains powerful new ftp features, enabling users to add files to their ScribeManager account by ftp.  This can be done manually using a desktop ftp client, or automatically by mirroring another ftp server.  It enables recordings produced by large entities such as hospitals or telephony companies to be automatically added to ScribeManager.  Transcripts can also be returned by ftp.  For full details, see the administrators manual, pages 45 to 52 inclusive.  Download it here: http://www.scribemanager.com/manuals.html

File player reworked

The file player was causing page loads to be slow when many instances of it needed to be loaded.  The player no longer appears by default.  A "play" button appears for all playable files, and when clicked it loads the player just for that individual file.

Maximum file size for uploads

A limit of 1500 MB has been set for the upload of audio files into ScribeManager, because larger file sizes consume too much server power and affect other accounts' use of the system. 

Contact ScribeManager support for alternative methods of receiving large files.

Playing of files online

A file player has been embedded into the Jobs List page of ScribeManager, enabling the instant playing of files (mp3 format only) without downloading.  The player will usually play the smallest file available, whether the original or the converted file.

Mp3 files above 100 MB in size are not playable because of the amount of bandwidth this uses.

Client Login file status

Previously when a client uploaded a file, if it could not be converted to mp3 its status on the client login was shown as CHECK BACK.  For the sake of clarity this has been changed to UPLOADED.

Mayday issue

An issue was reported wherein when Mayday was turned on for a file and then turned off, the length of the file was reset to 00:00:00.  This has been rectified.
