Dictaphone TransNet
Dictaphone TransNet is voice file player software that installs on your computer.
You need a foot pedal and a boomerang attachment between the foot pedal and your computer to control playback. It attaches to a USB connection on your computer.
To use it, you establish a secure connection with the Dictaphone server, jobs are downloaded to your TransNet program, and you transcribe the files. When done, you sign the jobs off and they show in the server as completed, and other files will automatically download as they are available.
Any other specific questions, let us know. :) Good luck!
Dictaphone Transnet question - sm
Brief overview of Dictaphone Transnet? What equipment/software would you need to buy? Thank you!
Transnet is just the Dictaphone system SM
you use to download voice files from a file server on the Internet - you can adjust speed, volume, backstop, etc. The client/MTSO assigns dictators to you, just simply sign on, download, and type away.
So are Dictaphone ExText and Transnet the same thing or somehow used together?

Dictaphone Transnet extremely slow.
I've been doing QA work using this Dictaphone Transnet system, and it has got to be the slowest software I've ever worked on. I'm sure it's probably OK for typing since it downloads 2 jobs at a time, but for QA, it's really slow. I spend more time waiting for the job to open than anything.
Lanier and Dictaphone are two different things....
and you can find them on E-Bay or in the classifieds section here. You will have to ask which one is needed for the account you will be on. I don't know about the long distance, you will have to check around to see what is in your area. I saw something a few days ago on the main board about unlimited long distance.
Where do you get a Lanier dictaphone and what is the usual charge for unlimited long distance. nm

That really depends on your acct, even now. nm

Depends on your acct - sm
I have 12-hr window to get in 8 hour shift but I know others on accounts that require stricter schedules. Flex hours are pretty much okay here.
Don't you think it depends on which acct you are assigned to?
I have a couple accts but don't know if either is the notorious one that supposedly has all the demo screen work. One acct I have is definitely more involved in demos than the other, but overall not so bad. Just wondering if it's a case of which one you are stuck with? Just trying to think of some ideas of why some like it and some hate it. Also depends what you are used to before working for Amphion, since you can't help but compare it.
I think it depends on your primary acct; sm
I've noticed some STMs give more leeway regarding shift windows, and usually it is based on turnaround time for your particular primary account. I think I would approach my STM again and ask more specifically, Why does STM X say this and you say something else? Probably you would get a clearer answer. It never hurts to ask.
12-hr flex for me too; definitely depends on your acct. sm
Average pay, nice bonus structure, good benefits. I like the platform and the people.
Flexibility depends on your acct; some still sm
allow the 10 or 12 hr flex schedule, some accounts do not. It's worth asking.
It depends on which account your on. If you WANT to be on an acct with a C-phone, there is plenty
but, if you like, AND were hired for internet-based, you will be disappointed. Just goes to show that there are two sides to everything. Some people love it and some people hate it.. personally, I have chosen to work for a company that everyone is happy being at and you cannot find one single bad post about them. I have figured out.. that is a for a reason. When you see even one bad post, you should at least look into it further. I thought that people who complained were just ex-disgruntled MTs but soon found out for myself what they were trying to say so I say, go ahead and try it out yourself and decide.
Your line rate depends on what acct you are hired for - sm
the difficulty of the acct dictates your line rate; PT vs FT doesn't really matter. Acute care varies from 8-9.5 CPL, plus production (bonus) incentives and shift differential.
When you first start, 100% of your work goes to QA until you are released on that acct. Afterwards it seems to depend on the acct as to how often you are reviewed. 98% or above is required but there is a detailed policy about mentoring, etc, posted for us to review.
Yes, you have access to older reports by doctor or by patient in real-time, as well as samples posted for reference on the community page.
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.

starting next week; another in 2 more weeks; another in early October; and another in November. This is just a normal end of summer / holiday slowdown. I'm sure other posters on this board are also out of work due to the same circumstances.

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.
How was your acct at Amphion? I have a HORRIBLE acct...
I am new to Amphion and have this account that has a lot of account specifics, no automatic ADT (which means I have to search for the names, etc) which is not a problem for me, but there is one dictator who is ALWAYS awful, and I have been getting him back to back to back my first week with Amphion. Did you find that you basically only had 1 or 2 dictators while there or did you have more? Of course, I would not mind doing him occasionally but can't do this all day. I will never be able to make any money, especially at the line rate that I am being paid. I have 2 children of my own and 3 of my sister's children in my care. I cannot afford to do this everyday and don't know what to do. I work as an IC for another company making 9 cents a line, which is much more than Amphion, but really wanted employee status so was willing to make a little less, but I am afraid it is not going to work. I do not want to have to find yet another company and start all over with them to only find out that they suck too. Any suggestions?
Transnet
Transnet is a program, usually provided by the company/hospital as they usually pay Dictaphone for the cost of the licence. You would need a wav pedal to play files through your computer.
transnet (sm)
click on icon for transnet at bottom of screen. When the little box pops up, do you see a more to click? You should. Click on more and then there is a way to make it louder, softer, more backup, less backup, and I think it is called play rate. Do you see this?
I have used Transnet before...sm
You do need a special footpedal in order for it to work.
Transnet
Right right, slow for transcription too. I got paid 13 cpl using Transet and realized why the pay was so high, because the software is sooooo slow and I got nothing done. I make more money now on a different account with less pl rate. Good Luck. I lated almost two years.
Can you use an IN-DB9 with TransNet?
Anyone know?
TRANSNET, NINA
What is your situation? I work with Nina when she needs my help.
Transnet/Extext
What companies use Dictaphone software?
I'm going to be using MedTran and Transnet
Any info on either system would be appreciated. TIA!
Transnet/Exttext
Does anyone use this software on a laptop; if so, have you experienced any problems with it? Thanks!
EXText and Transnet
Has anyone worked on a system utilizing a VPN client and Word Client before? The voice player is called Transnet, but Word Client appears to be EXText. This seems to be quite a complicated process to learn. Anyone else have problems with this in the past?
extext word/transnet
OSi and Trans-Tech use that platform.
Yes you can - go on Transnet playback rate

Little box for transnet player question. (sm)
Is there a way to move this box up to the top of the screen and out of the way of the document so you can leave it open while typing report? Hate to call Tech support if it is really something simple. I tried to just move it, but can't seem to get it done.
Any help appreciated.
Transnet Player Not Working
I have a USB pedal, which normally works with just about everything, but cannot get it to work with the Transnet player. When I manually click on the play arrow on the player itself, it plays, but not with the pedal. What could be wrong?
Need some information on Transnet system please (sm)
There is something in the archives from December 2008 basically telling how the pedal works. What I want to know is, since the jobs are downloaded does it take longer to get the reports? Has the speed of downloading the jobs improved since 2006? From what I read in the archives it takes forever to d/l jobs but that was a couple years ago so if anyone is using Transnet, please let me know if it has improved any and what your general opinion of it is. TIA.
ExText Transnet Player
First of all when the player comes up click Alt+T to keep player on top. Next click Alt+M to remember position.
1. Alt+V = Volume. Move left/right arrow keys to increase or decrease.
2. Alt+P = Play. Move left/right keys as above to increase or decrease.
3. Alt+A = Auto backspace. Same principles as above.
4. Alt+R = Rewind.
5. Alt+F = Forward.
Hope this helps.
I've easily done 600, but it depends on the way a company counts lines and it depends on the
dictators. Obviously, if you have a good share of ESL, there is no way you could ever do 600 or 700. On really difficult ones, I usually run around 400 lines an hour and I have been working on this platform for 3 years.
Is anyone working with Nina of Transnet out of Florida?
Just wondering on your situation...to compare to mine.
Thanks.

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

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.
