CMT is part of Lanier's Cquence
on-line program part, as far as I know. There are 2 parts to it, the Next Wave Player and CMT. Cquence is the name of the entire program. What is it you want to do with it? Why an emulator?
Lanier system
It's not a silly question. A Lanier is similar to a C-phone and if you have a Lanier account at MDI you either need to own one or rent one from MDI. As for the other poster who asked a similar question, you also need unlimited long distance for any of MDI's Lanier or C-phone accounts. I have full (actual) unlimited phone service through my cable company, so that's not really any additional expense for me, maybe just a few dollars more than I was paying for regular phone service through the phone company with no long distance at all.
I use a Lanier system called DVI.
There may be more than one, but I downloaded my work and then was able to work offline. I didn't need to be connected to the internet to work.
Lanier (Medquist) Internet System
Hi Wondering if anyone can give me some info on Lanier (which is Medquist now) internet based system. What is it called...is there one other than DocQScribe? I think we are going to be changing over and I'd like a heads up on what to expect from the software...
Thanks in advance.
I think Lanier is only compatible with Lanier; however, call a techie guy to be sure. sm
DAC and Dictaphone are compatible with Dictaphone, DVI and VDI systems. Lanier is a monster all of its own! Unless you rerecord from the Lanier and then use the Lanier VXP player, as the MT companies do.
great friendly people, IC work, pay so-so (9-1/2 cpl), clumsy platform. nm

Since they have a Lanier account, just how did you think you could get a test without a Lanier?
only by them doing a re-record to make the test file in .wav format so you could take the test? That's why the sound quality is so bad. In addition, you want a degree of poor quality in your test files. Because that weeds out the quitters.
Cquence
When I worked somewhere else we started using Reflections and it was so much faster and easier to type in. The system I am using is hard to type in just like the other that is why I wanted a terminal Emulator so that I could use it on my computer with the cable Any suggestions? Thanks for your reply
Cquence MT
Help me please has anyone every heard of Cquence MT or commonly called CMT . I am looking for a terminal emulator such as reflections,etc. that is compatible with this program. Thanks so much, Mamma J.
Do you mean Cquence?
If you do, it is really bad news. Very outdated.
Cquence
Oh no really?? Great, back to the drawing board then. Tell me more about it please??
Cquence
No, Cquence is not easy to work with. Not only is it not user friendly, but you cannot view past reports.

Anyone have Cquence experience?
Any information good or bad would be helpful...
TIA
My third week on Cquence...sm
And at first it was just arrghhh! But now I've got my routine down pat with it and my production the last few days has been very good. The line counts are true, in my account I am also getting paid for headers and footers, so I have no complaints.
For me there is ALWAYS a learning curve with a new platform. And yes, I think some platforms are quicker to handle than others ... I also think everyone's experience may be different, so I would encourage you to keep an open mind. It is turning out good for me after a few weeks. You can e-mail me if you have any other questions. 
Cquence platform
Can anyone tell me if the Cquence platform is easy to work with and get lines relatively easy. Thanks
All I know is that they use Cquence software. That's why I was wondering how it is to use. nm

I used Cquence for a couple years
I thought it was a pain in the rear.
Currently with eMTS, use Cquence and ChartScript.
.
I should have been more specific; e-MTS Cquence platform does NOT pay for spaces (sm)
only black characters
Any e-MTS MTs out there on Cquence platform that does not pay spaces? have question (sm)
How does your lines per hour being paid for ''no spaces'' add up compared to your previous experience being paid ''with spaces?'' How many lines less per hour do you type roughly? I am very leary about not being paid for spaces. Thanks
They use several software types, inc. CareFlow and cQuence,
s
MedRite XL, Cquence, and Winscribe are a few I've noted. nm
s
Cquence pay is 65-character with NO spaces, only black characters which equates to
approximately 1.5 to 2 cents per line less than 65-character with spaces.
Prior posts said they used CareFlow and Cquence software, both of which get knocked down as

Lanier 219
Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the amount of light in the display on this piece of equipment? In the small screen, I can see fine but in the larger screen there is not as much light, and it is really hard to read the numbers. Any help is appreciated.
If that is the same as DVI - now Lanier VXP nm
Lanier
I have several Lanier LX219 if u are interested in purchasing
LANIER 219
 Anyone know of any companies using the lanier voice writer ? Thanks for input.
There are a few job ads now for Lanier 219

Are you using a Lanier or a DAC?
I have good quality with my DAC unit. My main account is Dictaphone and my first secondary is Lanier, both the same quality audio.
I use Lanier at MDI
Lanier is similar to C-phone in how it functions. If by referencing old reports you mean samples, you can ask your supervisor for samples of any dictator and she'll get you samples. If you need to look at reports you have done previously you can pull those up yourself, yes, even while working on a current job. You just open another internet window, log into Bayscribe (so you would have 2 different Bayscribe windows open) and look up your old jobs from that day or a month ago.. whatever.
The demographics for Lanier and C-phone accounts have to be put in manually, but I find that I enter them faster with Lanier because you look at a little screen with them rather than waiting for the C-phone prompts telling you what they are, but you do have to be careful that you've entered correct information.
I suspect you are being put on the account I work on (good - we could use the help). Feel free to email me if you'd like.
Lanier
i know lanier is old.... are there any companies still using Lanier? I am so used to that system that my job is switching to wave pedals which I know is the new thing. Also are there any great Radiology transcription companies that anyone can suggest... Please it has to be per line, not per report as I just left one paying $1.10. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....
I use a Lanier
and I am with MDI-MD.
re lanier
does this require unlimited LD and/or cphones or what is different?
Do you have to own a Lanier? (Please don't
x
Lanier at MDI
I would imagine that the work flow, quality of dictators, etc. is going to depend on *which* Lanier account you are on. I have one but it may be different than the one you are on (which can't be listed here), so I can't be really helpful when we are talking in general terms. You can email me if you want to get more specific.
Lanier sucks
I really really hate this company. The hospital I was working in with them to get out of the old DOS platform. It took them several weeks to get it up and running, and I use the word running loosely. Most of us worked at home and they could NOT get the home employees up and running. We had so many service calls it got to the point they were telling us we had no more calls per contract. The system couldn't count lines either. It ended up with the employees having to come back in-house to work and because of the lack of ability to count, the bonuses were gone which averaged 1500.00 a month. A 65,000 a year job GONE because of those goofs.
Not a Cphone - a Lanier!

Any of you work for KS and use Lanier?
Could you please let me know if you have any problems. Do they provide foot pedal? What model Lanier is needed for KS? Thanks.
Lanier at MDI is just for the dictation...sm
It connects to your telephone. If you only have 1 phone line, it will stay busy the entire time you are connected, you cannot use call waiting. You also pay the long distance. The Lanier gives you the voice to type and you type the reports on your computer in the Bayscribe program which means you have to connect to that website on the internet. Bayscribe does not fill in the Lanier screen info, job numbers, dates, etc. You have to do that manually. You do not have access to other reports, only ones you have done previously and you cannot access even that when you are in a report (unless you go out and come back and restore the report as if the power went off, which is way too much trouble).
One good thing is that if you have another phone line you could use dial up if you don't have DSL or cable.
I'm on a Lanier account
and we always have TONS of work!
Lanier accounts
How much do you define as a ton? I have a Lanier account, and while there is always work, add a few more full-time MTs on it and there won't be. This is a really big account, but the typical work loads are half of what they were when I started on it a year ago. I'm not jumping on the bandwagon of telling people to come get on my account.
Lanier accounts
Well, I am only part-time but I do around 1000 lines per day and am always being asked if I would like to do more.
MDI Lanier Accounts
Tomorrow I begin training on one of MDIs Lanier accounts, about which I'm VERY excited.
If anyone here who works on one of their Lanier accounts can enlighten me as to what to expect, such as the quality of the dictators, work flow, any idiosyncracies about the account, etc., I'd be forever appreciative.
TIA, fellow MDI'ers 
MDI Lanier Accts
I, too, will be starting on a Lanier acct in January. Please keep us informed as to how you like it, as I am also curious, anxious to know what to expect. I worked on Lanier over 10 years ago, but can't remember what I liked or didn't like about it. Thanks for any info you are willing to provide once you get started and good luck to you!
Lanier machine
Speaking of Lanier in general, it's really not that different to use than a C-phone if you are used to that. You push a different number for sign-off, etc., but otherwise very, very similar. Sound quality is fine on mine.
I don't think MedQuist owns Lanier.
We used Lanier at a small hospital in a very small town before I went to work for MedQuist.
We also use Lanier at our hospital and yes MedQuist does own them
now as per our service representatives....
No, it is in a different location. I applied at Lanier once, also. sm
MedQ is on Century Blvd.
I think Lanier is very propietary and will not work with
other systems. Cphone and DVI are compatible with each other, and DVI is compatible with RTAS if you buy the RTAS footpedal that is compatible.
