Is all Keystrokes work done on Lanier or Cphone systems? Do they have any 'net accounts? Thx. nm

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.
cphone
I don't want to sound ignorant, but what exactly is a c-phone? how does it work?
Thank you for your kind help.
Pay is said to be low, 800 lpd is PT, as of Jan. 07 they were still Cphone only

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 Dictaphone
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.
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.
they supply the cphone, but...sm

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

I have several Lanier LX219 if u are interested in purchasing

 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

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.
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!
