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. 

can make $30/hour, on a bad day $20/hour.   No one is going to pay an MT $20/hour.   The MTs have less and less power because the companies can always turn to India.   A company doesn't know from day to day what the work load will be like, unless they are doing overflow for an account and only take a certain number of minutes a day.   Most of the time you can guestimate, but then when delinquent letters come out you'll get at least another 100 hours of dictation.  

I totally sympathize with the MT who is struggling to pay their bills and who want to work but can't get the lines.  It isn't fair, but it is what it is.   I honestly don't see it getting any better unless work is brought back to the U.S. and then once again the American MT is in high demand.  I've seen many MTs say they work for 2 or even 3 companies so they can get needed lines. 

for you, although we have a motorhome so our camping isn't really roughing it.  

We did not take an extendend train trip, but did take an 20+ hour trip on a train.   We did not have a sleeper car as it was just as cheap to fly as it was for the sleeper car and we were trying to save $$.  Anyway the train had mice and a sewage problem and every time the train hit a rough spot that made it jerk the sewage smell would go through the whole train and gag you.   There were people in sleeper compartments that their bathrooms didn't work.   Our train originated in NY and was going to FL and we got on midway and all the better seats were taken.   The train also seemed to stop at every crossroads for someone to get on/off so sleeping was not easy.  

Simply download the ShortHand install file from the website onto the jump drive.  Then open up your jump drive and install it.  When it asks for the file location (which defauls to c:programs) change it to your jump drive (on my PC it is the F drive).  Then install it.  The entire program will install on your jump drive.  Then plug into to whatever PC you want to use, open up the drive, double click the shorthand icon and it will run the program in the background from your jump drive.

I did it for years.  I had to type radiology in the office into Cerner with no abbrev Expander provided by the hospital.  I used my jump drive and it worked like a dream.  Everybody was amazed at how productive I was.  Never, EVER ask the IT people to help, the answer will always be no.

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!!!
