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.
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.
location
Are you not at liberty to say where in the NE this is located? I love the NE area and so does my husband. But relocating would involve selling a house, which might take some time.
Location
The company I originally posted about is TAIB out of Maine. She still has never contacted me. I just think this is so strange.
location
A Stat Transcription Service is in Port Orange, FL
location of TTD, Inc.
I did an Internet scan and what came up was Tollhouse, CA. Is this correct, or is there another location for this company?
not sure about location, but
this is what was written at the top of the info packet:
DIT Transcription is a Christian based business that was started approximately eight years ago. During that time, we have had tremendous growth which continues today. Our services have been tested and proven to be 100% HIPAA compliant by some of the largest health care systems in the Southeast. We are adding clinics constantly, and therefore we are also adding independent contracting transcriptionists constantly.
Location of CMC
They are out of Charlotte, NC - CMC stands for Carolinas Medical Center.
CorTMedical location
I went back to the website and saw they were close to Dayton..but would still like to know about bennies and cpl (ballpark)
New York location
I don't know about the other, but the one in New York has a very nasty attitude when it comes to transcribing foreign languages.
Is this the NJ or the Oregon location? nm
s
They also track your location
because you cannot post anonymously anymore. If you are using a proxy site you cannot post.
Big Brother MTSO.
How did you find out which location? I
x
finding the location
it must have been when either I was googling it, or using a list someone posted here about non offshoring companies, and clicked there. Honestly don't remember and can't find it myself again...
One poster in another location likes it there. nm
s
Hi, believe this is the Oregon location...have experience there?? thanx.....nm
nm
Because of their location on the west side of the Hudson,
expecially if you have to pay the per minute fee just to call the other side of that stickin' river! I never understood the phone company's rationale in that rip off!
They can't route you to where you need to be unless you know company and location specifics, sm
which obviously she does not know because she isn't an employee there yet. She stated she is just wanting an idea. How many insurance companies have you called? I used to do billing and I can tell you we had to have the insurance card and/or EOB in hand to know all the correct numbers to call based on the patient's specific policy details.
Which large account? Initials or location? nm
x
Got a location for them? A web site? Initials aren't familiar. nm
s
I don't see anywhere where she named the person, or company, or location. NOT a big deal. nm

Can I asked when you applied? I applied a few weeks ago
and never heard a word and I have over 16 years of experience. I applied because I got a recommendation from a friend of a friend who loves working there..Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get anymore details other than that. I'm all for even one positive at this point on this frustrating job search. Good luck to you though and check back with us to tell us how the interview went etc. Thanks
No. I applied, but I've applied SM
at a lot of places lately. I got an e-mail from a lady whose name starts with an M, but she didn't identify her company in the letter. She had my resume on the bottom of her e-mail, so I know it's someone I applied with, but I don't know which one!! LOL I'm thinking it's The Word Pros. Anyone else apply to The Word Pros and get an e-mail from M?
I'd love to hear information about them as well.

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.
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.
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....
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.
Not true at all. I have a C-phone and a Lanier
but still need DSL to get into the system to type. How do you come up with your logic? You obviously don't work with either.
Do you still need a second line to use their Lanier station? nm
