Speech to Text feature does not recognize prerecorded files

I had to correct my previous post - I am having problems with the speech to text feature not text to speech

I just downloaded Express Scripts. I am using a windows 7 64 bit computer with speech recogniion activated and the default speech profile.

For input I use a built in micro OR a digital sony voice recorder.

Here is the problem:

When I used the DOCK button and choose Audio Cable, and speak into the mike then I create a Dock file with Sender😃ock and the file is transcribed.

If I choose Audio File Transfer Method and load a prerecorded file, the file is uploaded (Sender:Unknown), but nothing is transcribed.

I use the Dock button, the upload button, I use mp3, wav or files saved as dct.I also use files of varying lenths. Nothing works. Not a single word is transcribed into Notes. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your help.

T'is an update:

I have kind of solved the problem myself.

For some reason I have to take the file out of the recorder and convert it to .raw

When the .raw file is then imported into Express Scribe, I get the transcription. I have no idea why I have to convert it first to .raw though.
