Cphone is Dictaphone
Posted By: Jamie on 2008-01-25
In Reply to: Odd question from an MT - slightly perplexed
C phone is actually a Dictaphone. Looks like a telephone and you dial into the hospital clinic for dictation. Has a foot pedal and headset. Technology has been around forever and is still used by a lot of places. You can find them on ebay for about $100-200.

Nuance is the parent company of Dictaphone. Dictaphone makes ExText.

Does Dictaphone obtain the accounts for the companies who use Dictaphone EXText?
I was just wondering if this is the same as it used to be. Dictaphone installs the equipment in facilities and then gets a MTSO to take the account. Therefore, the MT company never solicits for accounts, but Dictaphone notifes them when they have installed equipment in a hospital.

CPHONE AND EXERCISE
Never Mind, I turned the connection upside down and it worked. Thanks, All Have a Great Saturday. I just got out of the hospital for five days HIGH BP STROKE, MIGRAINE, DUE TO YOU GUESSED IT- TYPING ALL THE TIME, AND NO EXERCISE. Did 30 minutes of power walking already. Not ready to go to the grave yet. I challenge everyone to do at least 30 minutes of some form of exercise a day. 
Cphone is fine
Actually Cphone works fine for me. No waiting for files to pull up and sound quality depends on where you live and type of phone service. I've used it for years and years and have no problems with it.
Any RAD MT at MDI-MD using Meditech and Cphone?
I use a c-phone on current hospital account - no problems with it and make good money using it. I have never used Meditech platform and would love to hear from any MDI-MD rad MT who has used this combination (Meditech with Cphone) on the pros and cons. They offered me a good per report rate so I am considering employment. Thanks.

MQ does not own Lanier. Dictaphone owned/bought Lernout and Hauspie which filed bankrupt in 2000. MQ/Phillips in bed....
Dictaphone
Does anybody work for Dictaphone? We have recently learned our transcription department is going to outsource our work to them. I am curious how they are to work for.
Huh??? I don't think Dictaphone...
...is an MTSO or has an MTSO division. Dictaphone provides equipment and service to MTs/MTSOs. Sales, tech staff and, perhaps, former MTs work for Dictaphone. Whoever told you Dictaphone is probably mistaken.
Anyone, correct me if I'm wrong...
Dictaphone
Was informed they partner with MTSOs who use their software.
Dictaphone
Sorry, forgot to say I am working on the Dictaphone platform.
Dictaphone
I just started using the Dictaphone platform last night and can't believe how slow it is. I too am doing QC and it is going to be hard to make any money. I was wondering if it was just my computer but I guess not if you are having problems, too.
Dictaphone/TT
You are 100 percent correct. There is nothing so frustrating as trying to get seemingly intelligent people to understand such simple things. They automatically thought it was TT trying to trying to grab that extra few cents for each report. I've personally come to the conclusion that the negative people who post on this board are disgruntled ones who cannot and will not perform to standards, possibly have been released and then the ones who are trying to be loyal to MQ, KS or others (possibly even the head honchos of those companies)and come on here to disillusion others. A company speaks for itself in the way they treat their employees and the quality of the product they provide. If you are a current TT employee you are getting plenty of work. If you're not getting a full paycheck, then you are not performing to standards. Simple as that. Don't take it out on the company just because their platform is not what you're used to. And go elsewhere to bellyache. Some of you are not content if you don't create something to complain about.
Dictaphone
I assume it's just a cost issue, just as some companies provide you with a foot pedal, some make you buy one from them and some loan them to you for a fee.
