    Does this program exist?
    « on: February 18, 2009, 08:07:09 AM »
    I am transcriptionist.  One of the companies I work for has a first come, first serve basis policy.  They post audio files on a soundpage, send out an e-mail and then it’s up to each transcriptionist to scramble to enter this username/password protected site.

    Times are lean, as is the amount of work coming in.  I have a food timer that reminds to check the soundpage every 3 minutes, and have even set it to remind me every 90 seconds to check the soundpage in hopes of beating the e-mail that gets sent out and I still miss the audio files being posted.

    I was wondering is there a program out there that would be able to automatically enter and exit the soundpage on a continuous basis and sound an alarm when audio files post?  If this program exists, may I please have the name of it?  Thanks for your help.  Qwertylife

    Just set your email app to play a sound when new mail arrives...

    The problem is that e-mail is not always reliable.

    How do you access this sound page?

      Yes, thank you about the e-mail notifier, it's on and it tells me the sender of the e-mail, unfortunately, that's not enough.

      The soundpage has a box for a username and password, which I all ready have stored on IE so I just need to place the cursor on the first line and then the info is automatically placed in and then I hit login.  But even that is not fast enough.  Thanks for your help.

      This may be intentionally setup on their end...
      Create a new account and shorten both the PWord and User name...

      HERE is an example of a site that offers what you might be need.  The problem is, I don't know how much they will charge after the trial, or if the trial software is fully functional.


      THIS is the search result I received when I searched in Google.

      For Firefox there is an addon that refreshes the page every so often. Carbon has it. :p

      As was said already, the servers sending the email mightn't be reliable.

        The only way that I can think to do this is to use a mail app.
