Did you save files in .rtf format? The files need to be
as a Word document or it won't count them. Could be the problem.
Filezilla is the software used to transfer files to an FTP server where the files "reside".

Converting voice files to digital files
I have a Voice Solutions dictation system that will happily convert DS4000 voice files to digital when they are downloaded (wave files). However, it will not recognize any other files for conversion. I had a physician download .WAM files from his DS-30 and my dictation system would not convert it. Anyone have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate any input.
Thanks!!!
I don't think it can do that, it you are meaning
HE to He, etc.
I know the meaning is not
derogatory, any more than my grandmother was being derogatory when she said "colored people." Certainly, all the countries you mention (Middle East, etc) can be considered oriental, since the word just means of the east. ("We Three kings from Orient Are.") But I have never heard anyone use the term "Oriental" to describe someone from Turkey, or Saudi Arabia, or any Caucasian person in the eastern hemisphere; only to people from the Far East (many Americans tend to muddle people from these countries into a group because of their similar physical characteristics). At any rate, Asian is the favored term today. Oriental things (such as rugs) are a different story. My cousin (age 54) still uses the word "Oriental" for people from the Far East... she also gets Arabs and Indians mixed up. oriental/occidental
ps CTA meaning to cover their a**.

I said he is the same on the inside, meaning,
he still is the most tender-hearted man I have ever known in my life, the same as 28 years ago when I married him. He knows that I firmly believe that his drinking is wrong and that it is killing him (which I don't want to happen), but, leaving him is not something I want to do (been there, done that). I choose to stay. Not everybody's situation is the same and, Biblically, I have absolutely no reason to leave him nor do I want to leave. I hate to see him killing himself this way and that is something that I pray about daily. 
I was not meaning you directly at all
guess I was just trying to get across the point that in other parts of the states southerns are protrayed as such. I am white, my husband is black and my mixed daughter was an English major in college here in the south and an accountant now, She, along with me, shutter when we hear ebonics. Like where you live and where I live outsiders would probably not believe with all the diversity, huh?
IC status meaning
I worked 3 weeks for a company as IC status. They wanted a schedule so I did one and then the work was not coming through so the third week was told not to do schedule; it did not look like the MD I was going to have would get into a routine. I did the work at night or early morning. Was told I had to work my schedule even if I had no work I had to be there in case it came in. Does IC status not mean TAT and production but flexibility with schedule as long as you get the work done. Also it went from 60 minutes to 120 and then at the time I finished the 100 minutes 85 more came through and it was like she expected me to do it right then. I had 24 hours. Also was called as soon as it uploaded at 4p.m. one day and was asked "ARE YOU TYPING". It was not my scheduled time and it had only been uploaded about 30 minutes. What is your take on this. IC does not mean be harrassed if not an employee with benefits right. No work for 3 days and then hounded as soon as it came in. I am not there now because I voiced my opinion.
IC meaning independent contractor?
As far as I know...no...for independent contractor, they do not have to pay any benefits or even take out SS, so I would think it would be MORE not less for IC. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
I am not meaning to start a firestorm, but can anybody SM
explain this? I'm not trying to get banned, but every other site on the net survives just fine and there is no such restriction on them.
Maybe I'm dense, but I can't even make up a sensible reason for it.
Exactly what I was meaning in post below, but you say it so articulately. Thanks.

It sounds to me like this MTSO needs to look up the meaning of IC. sm
From your description, you have been more than understanding. We set our hours and we work them, but are not sitting here every time something is needed. I have worked 3 IC jobs (simultaneously) in the last 1-1/2 years, and can tell you there are wonderful companies out there that are very considerate. You don't need this one.
Are y'all meaning Sylcount?
If you need an Expander too, you can get Instant Text, which has counting, invoicing, and reporting built in. :-)
Again, you've missed the meaning.
The interpretation is this: Money will speak louder than just writing a letter. Speak financially. Get it now?
'Plenty' meaning - the 6 or 7 people who
The sclerae (plural) are injected, meaning SM

Lanier is proprietary meaning it will only work
with a Lanier system and you cannot use a C-Phone or DVI workstation to access a Lanier digital system. You won't be able to use it with a DVI system or Dictaphone. However, if memory serves, you should be able to use a Dictaphone C-phone or DVI workstation interchangeably with most other digital dictation systems and Dictaphone.
I'm glad you brought this up. I've been meaning to
maybe "black and white" chars. (meaning spaces

Does anybody understand the meaning of EmErGeNcY room anymore?
I cannot understand why I type SO many ERs with trivial chief complaints such as:
sore throat - cough - pimple - splinter - blister - farted - (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but COME ON people!)
The most recent ccx.....Can I take a laxative? Not constipated, just needs to know if she can take a laxative along with her hypertension med. Thought she better go to the ER to ask. 
Why are these people allowed to be such a waste of ER resources?
Just a pet peeve....wondering if anyone agrees with me.....perhaps someone else who has spent hours in an ER waiting room for something or other.
isn't off peak meaning night/weekend and therefore would not count toward the 450? nm

well time to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas...
and please dont get me wrong... i know these times are hard for everyone and i hope your work picks up or you find a job that helps... but regarding the holidays... so many of us (myself included) have made this a buy buy buy holiday. I'm been so upset this year because I have bought barely ANY gifts but I simply cannot afford them. So then I realized, it is time for family and togetherness, as generic as that sounds... life is short... it's not about "things" it's about people. And I'm not super religious, but this is a good video below.
good luck on work!

Might be meaning the 3 boxes left upper corner??
the 3 little square boxed in the right hand corner, see them. The middle one makes a bigger screen. Unclick it and it goes back to regular size. This this what you meant.
It should depend on the law. sm

It would depend on whether (sm)
the boy had any real driver training. I had driver education at high school and it was a semester-long class. I recently moved to a state where one day of watching videos and two days with 3-hr driving sessions constitutes driver training. All they require after this is for the parents to say they drove 40 hours with them. I never knew anyone in school who rolled a vehicle and since moving here I've met three teenagers who have!! These kids all live in town, but rolled the vehicles out on rural roads. How long has he had his license? Is he driving a car he bought himself? What kind of grades does he have? Who else will he be giving a ride to? I'd weigh these things out, then make your decision. One additional thing I would consider is whether your daughter would be the one to say "Stop this car and let me out!"

This might depend...sm
This might depend on whether you are considered an employee or an independent contractor. As an independent contractor, they don't have to pay you if you don't do any work.
Something like that would depend on whatever
your company's policy is. Everyone is different.
That's because they depend on us....sm
....to correct their mistakes in spelling. Lazy suckers!
Well, grammar/punctuation can dramatically alter meaning, so it IS important. nm

it really does depend on your company
All those questions depend on the company you work for. If I want to get paid for time when there is no qa, then I type. If I am being paid salary then yes, when there is no qa, I type. I do not type superfast because my parts are worn down from too many years of production typing and I am unable to produce 250 lines an hour anymore and so I cannot be held to that. That is why I am in QA in the first place, because I sure could make more money on production transcribing than I do in qa. None of us can tell you what your company expects though. So you are kind of SOL about what the facts are, aside from what anecdotal stuff you get from us. Good luck!
No, but it may depend upon account
No, I don't think so. I just got a job offer, and I can only work with satellite Internet. I have no land line; therefore, I cannot do Dictaphone C-phone or Lanier accounts. I only have cell phones. MDI-MD does not (yet) have many accounts that can be accessed as WAV-file accounts, and what they have seem to be heavily (i.e., 60-75% ESL!).
So to answer your question, I don't think MDI-MD specifically requires you to have unlimited long distance any more, but if you have it, you may be able to get better accounts.
If long distance charges are an issue, have you looked into Vonage or other Internet phone solutions? Your ISP has to have fast enough speed to do it, and right now our satellite speed is just under what will work well. But if you have fast enough speed, check into it. It's a flat rate every month, and I think it's now down to $29.99 for unlimited. If you have a friend who has it, ask them about it, and they can tell you. Also, they will get a referral fee (a month free or something) for referring you.
Hope this helps!
Well, that would depend whether you are Employee or IC.
This is how I see it..
If you are an employee, you would have to finish your 8-hour shift in the shift you agreed upon. You can not stop after 6 and start dinner, etc. You may be able to stop, make dinner etc, and go back and finish your 2 hours if you talk to you supervisor or boss about it and work it out with them; otherwise, you are supposed to complete the full 8 hours in your agreed upon shift.
If you are an IC and meet your production obligation in 4 hours, you can be done for the day and have fulfilled your obligation for the day.
Hope this helps.
I guess it would depend...
on how shallow a person is. My last name, thanks to my husband, is the name of something we used to do to each other in school (involving a wedgie)! Yuck. I accepted it, moved on.
would depend on your age and if you have a family...
there's a ROI ratio that has to be considered. What will med school cost? Don't forget to figure in lost wages while going to school. Don't believe full time med school and part time MT can be combined...but maybe I'm wrong. Also if you have a family, you better think long and hard. You never get your kids' childhood back. It's not like you can schedule them for when it's convenient....Personally, I thought about med school, but did kids instead and boy did I make the right choice!
I say it should depend on the maturity...sm
of the child and their level of responsibility of keeping up with things. My 6-year-old had her ears pierced last summer because she kept asking for several months to do it, but we ended up letting the holes close up because she couldn't keep up with earrings. I even tried the screw-on backs and she lost them in 2 days.
I didn't get my ears pierced until I was 13.
Probably would depend on a lot of variables.
what I would do. I would have to be in the situation, I guess.
Well - that would depend on many things sm
What VR platform?
Volume of work?
Type of work?
What is/was the rate for transcription?
There are other factors; however, some MTSO and Nationals go 5-6 cents less than they charge to transcribe. So, if the fee is 18 cpl to transcribe, it would be 13 cpl to edit VR.
Hope this helps. Personally, I think 7.5 cpl is way too low to start.
It must depend on the state, and if you have
then they must have found you to be dishonest in the past. The trend is to trust your transcriptionist. She can do what she wants, but she is only cheating herself if she does not charge enough. She is going to find at 11 cpl, she'll be lucky to make a profit, especially when she gets in to the issues of getting paid through the office. I have a lot of experience in these matters and the account I do like my work, do not QA (ridiculous) because if the office knew enough about transcription, they would know that your time is valuable. She asked the question, and I gave an answer. Like it or not, docs pay and well as long as they know you are doing a good job! Oh to ponder.... If she wants to charge per 65 character, then she should be charging 16 cpl, the going rate.  Hey OP, give it a try... if they complain it costs them too much, you'll know, and then reduce your rate, but keep it simple, make it fun... These people on here having you spending money on silly count programs have been typing for pennies for Nationals. Don't let them fool ya'..... Good luck.
Pay will depend on many factors
My first year as an MT, I made $20k and that was at 6.5 cents per line. There are tons of jobs out there were you can likely quickly move up and earn more money.
The job will take dedication and the money will not just fall into your lap the first year or two but you can make a good living as an MT. The choice is yours!!!!
I think a lot of that will depend on the company you are with. sm
whether they cheat lines, how many ESLs, etc. as to whether it is possible to get it up or not. i used to type 250-300 lph, but recently tried two different acute care nationals, one mentioned here often, and never could get more than 100 lph no matter how hard i tried.
i would think with 30+ years exp, your clue will need to be set up some Expanders and you could probably reach it. i take typing test online occasionally just for fun to see where i stand. it helps build my momentum and concentration as well so maybe try something like that to work on getting your speed up. also, speed up the sound file on any dictators you know you can understand at faster speeds. this alone doubled my line count because i tend to type faster if they speak faster.
Must depend on the area. sm
I have had their cable and roadrunner for about 5 years and service is always excellent here.
It may depend on the company, but
which you would anyway because once it is in Meditech, you no longer need the Word document.
Who would be the wiser? 
I think that will depend on what your cpl rate is...sm
I am paid a very high line rate;therefore 300 lines an hour would equate to a higher hourly rate for me. There may lie the confusion for some.
So, if you are paid 8 cpl and do 300 lines an hour that would equate to $24 per hour, whereas the same 300 line paid at 13 cpl equates to $39 per hour.
