Does anybody know if Keystrokes does anything but C-phone dictations? I wanted to submit a resume, but I don't have a C-phone. Thanks

Keystrokes/C-Phone
Just talked to a very nice woman from Keystrokes and am waiting to actually talk to the recruiter about job details (rates, etc.), but sounds like the position is mine if I chose to take it. However, it requires a C-phone, and I don't think I have ever used one in my life. I see there are several models. I want to pick up a used one, but will any old C-phone do? I hate to sound stupid, but I honestly don't have a clue! I guess I can wait to talk to the recruiter, but I wanted to start getting some ideas about price first.
Thanks.
I am told this account has a ton of work, which is just what I need. I am having trouble getting 500 lines a day and I just can't live on that!
Keystrokes requires C-phone? NM

What other companies besides Keystrokes uses a C-phone? TIA nm

I work for Keystrokes and have never heard that you had to have digital phone service (sm)
I used Embarq for about 3 months and made the change to digital because I got the letter from Embarq saying I was wasn't allowed to use the unlimited long distance that much. I also switched to digital because it is cheaper and truly is unlimited long distance at the same rate every month. I was never once told by Keystrokes that I had to have digital. The only thing they ever told me was I had to have unlimited long distance.
I work at Keystrokes using a C-phone and Meditech. Admittedly, I wasn't sm
fond of Meditech when I first started using it, but now I do not mind it at all. You can look up patient data such as medications, prior reports, etc., which can be quite helpful. And Keystrokes uses a formula to count the lines which I think turns out very favorable for the MT. I don't think that must be my C-phone account, thought, because I'm pretty sure there are more than 35% ESLs!
Good luck to you. Don't let the naysayers get to you. Try it for yourself and see. It might be a great fit. 
Worked on C-phone for 10 years with 1 phone line

C-phone - I purchased a c-phone from someone in Oklahoma but never got it. *sm*
First she told me her grandmother died. Then she told me she mailed it. Then she told me her daughter was having chemotherapy. Call me naive, but I thought she was sincere and cannot imagine anyone using their daughter as an excuse. If this is the same person from Oklahoma, I sure would like to know about it because now I want my money back.
I don't have a second phone line ... cable modem for the internet, regular line for my C-phone.
If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.
And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert. Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling. :-)
Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)
C-Phone = Connexions Phone
Dictaphone is a company and one of their many products is a C-Phone.

Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying up companies sm
but I heard from another service owner that they sold out to Transcend. Anyone know if that happened?

Did Keystrokes sell to Transcend? I thought Keystrokes was buying sm
small companies but another service owner told me that she heard that Keystrokes sold to Transcend. Is this true?
I posted this down below but meant to post it as a new thread. Before I apply with them, I would like to know as I left Transcend a few months ago and do NOT want to get back into that mess.
Not only that, but I would MUCH rather work for Keystrokes than Spheris as Keystrokes doesn't
Only Keystrokes. Worked at MQ until I came to Keystrokes. Started at sm
Keystrokes PT, liked what I saw and experienced, gave notice to MQ and went FT. Have not look back since. I had previously worked at 2 hospitals, for MDI, Transcend and MRC until bought by MQ. I plan on retiring here as long as they stay as they are.
No, Not with Keystrokes, visiting friend and using her pc, she got job with Keystrokes
I forgot to change the Name. I do not think Keystrokes is hiring anymore now. Would like some info about Diskriter though.
Ditto, Keystrokes is a wonderful company with wonderful people! I love working for Keystrokes!
I am just not making enough money. They are a great company though, just ask for a back up account.
I do use a C-phone, but...
The program that we type into is web-based and is the absolute best I've ever used, because it's so simple and fast. My C-phone is hooked up to my DSL via Vonage www.vonage.com, so I pay $27 a month long distance. I think there are some accounts, however, that actually use a .wav pedal. I just don't happen to be on those accounts.
Does anyone have DSL and use a C-phone? - sm
I need to know if you are on-line (DSL) and working on your C-phone (same line), does call waiting still work?
Thanks.
Do you have a phone #
for this company or know how they are listed in the phonebook?
C phone
Just wanted general information on C phones-- how they work etc. I am losing my mind, I did not mean info on Accustat, WI
C-phone
Accustat wants me to switch over and I have no idea how one works. I really like this company too
Yep, C-phone...
both accounts (I switch between 2, both use C-phone).
C-phone
Thanks. I think that I will go ahead and get one so that I can switch over. I was wondering about the phone like-- thanks for clearing that up. Can't afford a new one so I think I am going to try Ebay.
You need a C-phone but...
other than that, they are great. Very organized, helpful, and they pay on time!
C-phone
To my knowledge, a C-phone and a Dictaphone are one in the same,
I have a c-phone
.
C-phone
A C-phone is short for connection phone. It looks just like a regular telephone only bigger. It has ports to plug in a headset and footpedal. It also has a regular receiver that you can use to call out, just like a plain phone. When you are given a C-phone account, you dial the number you are given, perhaps enter a PIN or ID# and
depending on the account, listen to the prompt for further data. Then you simply press the foot pedal and start typing. It also has 16 memory spots to program frequently dialed numbers. It also has to be programmed (by you) for the headset, etc, which isn't hard. Personally, I prefer a C-phone account. They are nice to use.
You will own the C phone
No, after 2 payments of $50 you will own it and do not ever have to send it back. They are a great company.
C-phone
If you have to buy a C-phone from them, it is only $100, and they will take two payments of $50 out of 2 checks. I was lucky and got an account that didn't use a C-phone, though. They are very willing to work with you and if you request an account that doesn't use a C-phone, they are generally very accommodating.
c-phone
Good Morning, I am trying to use a C-phone, can dial in, hear reports, but foot pedal is not working. It is connected. Is there something I am supposed to do other than that? Thanks to all.
C-phone
I got my C-phone on ebay for $120, so opted to go that route instead of renting.

I pay $30 for local and unlimited long distance through my cable company. You have to watch out on those unlimited long distance plans that most phone companies use. If you look in the fine print they usually are really unlimited and they will kick you off if you use too much. Cable phone has been good so far and I have used Vonage in the past, too, and didn't have any problems.
If you are going to be using a C-phone you will need
unlimited long distance. I would suggest checking into your options now. AT&T offers unlimited long distance but it is not unlimited and has a limit of 5000 minutes, which is half of what you will need.
It's not a c-phone
It is a lanier. I have used a C-phone and sound quality was not as bad as this.
C-phone
The best C-phone is a Lanier. I was on other copies but the best Cphone has always been a Lanier.
C-phone
My C-phone is programmed for 2222 to slow down, 3333 to speed up, 6 to replay header, 8 to sign off job. If this doesn't work for you, call your super and ask for help in reprogramming the phone. Good luck!
KS-C-phone
Keystrokes still uses C-phones. I use one every day.
A phone with SGS
was enough to make me run. The person on the phone used such poor English, poor grammar and was rude on top of it. Not for me!
C-phone
I recently applied to Keystrokes. They have open positions but require a C-phone which I don't have. I went to E-bay and see many different kinds. Which kind do I need? TIA.
C-phone
Can anyone tell me exactly what a C-phone is or does?
Oh, I would be on the phone all right!!
Every single time I ran out of work - even if my line count was close to the required. I would ask for work BEFORE they charged me! Would drive your point home I think.

K&R Consulting -
Do you have to use a C-phone
to work for them? Seems like I remember that from an ad a long time ago, but not sure. Thanks! Do they have an ad up somewhere for MTs?
You can rent a C-phone from them. sm
I'm not sure about a computer rental. If your account is not on wav files, you'll have to pay long distance. There are a lot of flat rate plans through many companies.
You can't access the patient's old files through Bayscribe.
Pay is anywhere from 9 to 11 cpl.
Great place to work!
Phone call (sm)
I have a feeling I might miss this famous phone call because I never answer any call I don't recognize on my caller ID, especially 800 numbers (I hate people trying to sell me stuff -- including MQ LOL).
I wonder if it will say MedQuist. Oh well, I'll just keep reading the boards and probably just as good as the phone call!
Sorry to hear about your hospital stay. Hope you feel better and more together soon. Wish I had an excuse to not have my mind together...
ANY MQ SE GET THE PHONE CALL YET?
What is this all about?
What phone call
are you talking about?
I don't know, but here is the phone # 301-921-2006 nm

C-phone question -
I have never used one and am quite confused. I have a high-speed internet connection through Adelphia. I want to use Vonage for my long distance. So, do I need a second phone line to free up my phone service? I was told that this wouldn't interrupt my regular telephone service. What about my regular local service provider? Will Vonage replace this?
