BRAVO! BRAVO! So true, and so well-said!

Doc trying to go digital and having a heck of a time/can't open files. Please see message.
I am working with a doctor's office who has an Olympus recorder (I think it's the W-10). She has been trying to send me a sound file. She sent a sound file that was left in the recorder from about a year ago to see if it would work and it opened up just fine for me with my transcription player (Philips Executive SpeechMike kit).
Since that time, she has tried to send many more test dictations that she just recorded herself to try and I am unable to open up any of them. She says that when she downloads the sound file from the recorder to her computer it is a WAV file, but as soon as she tries to email it to me, it changes to a VAL file extension.
This is quite frustrating for both of us and I am trying to find any reason at all that this is not working (since it did work on the first dictation that someone else had recorded previously but won't work since on anything else). This makes me think it might be something she is doing while recording? Is anyone able to tell me anything she might be doing wrong that might be causing this problem? Or any suggestions on anything else we can do?
I did download the voice software that came with her recorder. I am able to play the files there, but not on my Philips transcription player, which I need to do to transcribe the files. As I said before, the first file she sent did play on my transcription player, but none of the files she sent since then will work. I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions you might have at all. Thank you. 
This message is defining what VBC is! It's time people realize the American MTs...
are our own worst enemies. VBC is NOT a good thing! I personally think we should get paid per keystroke.
The FUNNY thing is that in the amount of time it takes for them to post a message

Bravo!!
Thank you for your post!! The truth!! Please continue to tell it as it is..maybe one day some will be enlightened..Once again, thank you..
Bravo!
I've always thought it was unrealistic to expect all teenage high school graduates to know what they want to do with the rest of their lives and to be able to pursue a college degree based on that knowledge (although I acknowledge that's 100% true, as some grads do know). I'm 53 and I'm still not sure what I want to be when I grow up!
I think the events described in your post happen a lot more often than not, and when they do occur, it IS a waste of money.
Life is a work in progress, and people change drastically over the course of it.
Again Bravo
On a gross line a/c I work on I avg 320-340 lines/hr when actually typing, using all my own shortcuts and saved text. But you are truly awesome. I'm fairly new to MT work so still working on them, but I truly hope to be where you are some day.
Bravo! :)

I think YOU should run for President!!!

Bravo! Well said.
Yes, instead of being petty, envious and annoyed - celebrate with our typing sisters and brothers - we are all trying to make it work moneywise. Share the knowledge of increasing line count. That is what everyone wants to know anyway. Good for you!
BRAVO for you
BRAVO!!!!
We should email this out to all the top companies!
Bravo, thanks!
I love the look of the Mac, plus the idea that it's almost as portable as a laptop. Thanks! for the info, now I have a goal.
BRAVO, BRAVO!
 I'm with you on that one!!!
Bravo....well said! nm

Bravo!!!!
You are 100% correct. Offshoring is all about cheap labor and not better quality. I could point out a million examples but two are toys made in China and Microsoft's technical support! Not quality, just cheap junk!
Bravo. Well said! nm

Bravo !
Bravo! Braavo ! Bravo !
Bravo to you Fed Up!
I also earned a B.A. in English and worked for many years as a writer/editor before becoming an MT 17 years ago, so the concept that anything written in the BOS would trump the basic rules of the English language is absolutely absurd to me.
Bravo
I watch my friends spend all this money on clothing, gas and food while I'm at home in my sweats and T-shirts and a tank of gas will last for weeks when my daughter is out of school. I cook enough dinner to have leftovers for lunch.
When the weather is bad, I'm not trying to get home, I just keep on typing (unless the power goes out of course). So all in all, I can't complaint even though I do at times LOL.
Another benefit of this job I would say is that you can work for as many companies as you can handle unlike there being a conflict of interest say if you are working for two grocery stores in the same area.
Bravo! Some of these companies (sm)
can cost you a BUNDLE, especially after a few NONPAYING companies in a row.
Now that certainly followed the thread! Bravo! Thanks for
that totally coherent thought. When there is a thread on make up or hair color, do you post on the the War in Iraq? Probably! Perhaps the OP (original poster) who asked about working at home with a newborn had something to do with the topic being babies and...working at home! Imagine that! Pardon us all for staying on topic.
I ASPIRE TO BE YOU!!! BRAVO
Wow and wow some more. I am truly in awe. I am very fast and make more than most people, but it is truly inspiring to see something like your figures. I now have reason to push forward harder.
LOL LOL and BRAVO!!!!!
Bravo! Right on the money!!!
mnmnmnn
Bravo, Patti!!
Smart, energetic people like you who are willing to put the effort into finding the niches you have described will always fare better than those who prefer to take what can be had with no effort.
You're right. Your detractors are jealous, but probably not enough to go out and hustle and do what you did to get what you have. They would rather tear you down and try to believe that what you have done cannot be done than put some effort into making their own lives and incomes better.
You go, girl! People like you will always come out on top, regardless of what happens to the MT profession down the road. Congratuations!
Bravo!! Very well said and I agree sm
and I'm not even a breeder. Have had dogs for years and have never been bit or growled at nor any member of my family. They've been smothered in love and affection along with discipline and are remarkably well behaved compared to other dogs I have seen. They will always have their special place in my family.
Bravo - say it louder!
I too know what it feels like to be a "good MT" in an on-site setting. I, too, have come home to "pasture" and am making more due to the office politics and poor management (my manager was not MT at all), feeling better about myself, and do not feel I have to prove anything to anyone or smile at "back-stabbers". Ya' know, I could always help in other areas of my department at the hospital filing, answering phones, even assist with patient transfers (until the hospital said this was not allowed), yet NO ONE and I mean NO ONE could help me do my job!!! Okay, I'm done! I loved your post! Keep up the good work (at home). At this point in my life, I know I am better off.
BRAVO! I agree!! (nm)

To Laurie.....Again Bravo!
I agree!
How much time do MTs dedicate to their job, who are willing to start a big, revolutionary campaign regarding the MT business to stop offshoring?
Maybe they should really work in another industry.
People who are not even ready to pay for a mentoring program? Come on! And refuse to give back the computer that was provided by the company because they worked so 'hard' and do not think that they were compensated enough? Where is their integrity?
It is a business and a f r e e market. Don't these people ever get it?
BRAVO! The mothers never want to work SM
a holiday, they want every school break to be off with their children, they have to go on a field trip, they need to take Bratleigh to the doctor, on and on.
Taking a full-time job is great for them with full-time benefits until they are told they have to work some weekends or God forbid CHRISTMAS....what about the chilllllldddrennnnnn......
BRAVO...EXCELLENT INSIGHT!! nm

Bravo! I completely agree.

a lot needs to change...Great posting! .BRAVO.
I specifically liked this statement:
Why are MTSOs so afraid to approach a lousy dictator?
Bravo! Good post. I totally agree. sm
I too have been in this business for a long time (almost 20 years). I also have a good friend who is an RN who will ask me questions about certain things that she hasn't read up on because it is not in her field of "expertise".
If someone I know says something like, "I have this pain that won't go away. . ..", I say, "you need to make an appointment with your doctor. If someone says the doc put them on a drug and can't pronounce the name, I can give them the correct way to say it.
But in my experience, I can tell (in my areas of expertise) when something is wrong. I would never say, "I think he has this or that." I would say, "I really don't like the looks of that and it might need to be looked at by the doctor. Even if I do know from experience what it may be.
In the case of an NP ignoring the MT's concerns, I find that disturbing. That seems to say that personal objections are getting in the way, which should never happen in the medical field, regardless of what level you are at, if there is even what may apper to be a valid concern.
Venting-why do people keep putting nm and THEN writing a message?? nm means no message - sm
Please put sm if you have a message and NM if there is no message other than your subject line. It makes it easier when reading these messages. thanks so much and have a nice day everyone.
small message. nm means no message
see?

sm, see (or short) message, nm is no message.

sm-see message, nm-no message, ks-I think it's someone's initials.
nm
or no message, small message - whatever SM
any indication there is no need to waste time opening the post.
it is irritating also when people type through the subject line as well as the name line and then do not indicate if it is worth pursuing.
sm is see message not small message. I almost always
put NM or nt if there is no message, but quite a lot of people still open the posts as evidenced by the number of views.
Not anymore. For some time now, I've been working 32 hours and am considered full time to receive

Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
Yeah, our choc. lab does that from time to time - makes it interesting!- nm

Cannot legally require you to commit time to them as an employee and then not pay you for that time.

full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
