And if their sloppy dictation habits are any clue, I just can't see them suddenly becoming diligent about editing and correcting their work. A few, maybe. But in general? Nuh-uh.

Yes you are exactly right on. Couldnt have said it better.
Thank you - I couldnt' have said it better myself.
Couldnt agree more!
I posted on this forum just to find out if I even wanted to get into this field, part time, and got nothing but rude replies back. I was shocked!!
My actual career field (engineering) is NOTHING like that and we are experiencing tons of outsourcing to India. I've NEVER had such rude replies to just a simple "What is your experience in this". I'm shocked and apalled at how quick some folks on here were to bash on me!
Good luck to you and I hope you encounter better people than I have!
Amen, I couldnt have said it better. What are you going to do now? nm

That's strange I bought the adapter but couldnt get it to work right. Maybe cuz it was a laptop..
I'll have to try it again. I just could not get it to work right. I would get sound but then it would freeze up.

With short arms, I need chair with shallow seat, good back support and high back. Want arm rests

OK! I'm glad you're back down here. Now don't go back up there and read those evil posts ag
Okay? But I have to leave you now, sadly. Thousands of noble dictating doctors are anxiously awaiting my help with their "dictations"....They're all loading up on chips, drinking lots of soda so they can burp, and then have to go to the bathroom...You know the routine! Off I go to earn some pennies!! But, truly, I am thankful that I have a job! 
PS.. It apparently worked..I heard back and already submitted the paperwork back.
I'm not sure how many people they are hiring but you shouldn't stress too hard over it. Do the best you can.
I would not do them back to back - I have done 2 and 3 jobs at the same time -- all PT - sm
It is possible to do of course but you will burn out fast. Now I do one almost FT (about 30 hours a week) and the other is about 8-10 hours a week-- I still get beat doing that and that is w/o set hours. I find that the older I get the harder it is to work late and I am only 40! But a mid afternoon 30-minute cat nap helps a lot in order to keep going on busy days.
How do you set your computer back 1 day. I messed something up and need to go back 1 day.

dictaphone
I am beginning a transcription job for an allergist on Monday and they are looking to me for advice on what type of transcriber to buy and where to purchase the machine. Since it has been awhile since I have transcribed, I would like some assistance. I live in TX. Thanks~Sherry
RE: Dictaphone
I have been hearing a lot of bad things about Dictaphone company. Just wondering if any of you have had any bad dealings with them, maintenance, getting in contact with somebody, etc.. I hear bad from everybody except Dictaphone people.
dictaphone
Try transcriptiongear.com or executive communications. I have gotten lanier stuff from executive. I sold my Dictaphone last year for 235.00 it was in pristine condition. Got my lanier/with power box from e-bay.
Dictaphone VR
Has anyone out there edited Dictaphone VR? Considering a job, but not sure if I could make more than I make typing. Thanks.
Dictaphone VR
I've been doing Dictaphone
VR for nearly 3 years now. My speed has increaded about 40%. I cannot comment on increased income, as we are paid hourly whether we do VR or straight typing. But, I must add I really enjoy it. I'm not sure I could go back to typing every report ever again.
Dictaphone VR
What do you mean by Dictaphone VR? I have VR installed but haven't had the time or patience to start using it. Is there a way to connect the Dictaphone to the computer so you don't have to listen, say it, etc?
Dictaphone
I have a Dictaphone C phone that plugs into my phone line and does work with the cable phone. I live in the Northeast and have that all-in-one package for cable, phone and TV, and the Dictaphone has worked fine. I have long distance unlimited which helps too in case the number you have to dial isn't local.
Using Dictaphone
How easy/difficult is it to use dictaphone? Is it user friendly or a pain in the rear. Thanks!!
RE: Dictaphone
Does anybody out there know who to contact for Dictaphone C-phone that needs fixing.
Dictaphone
Please, does anyone know where to get a Dictaphone C-phone fixed. Mine quit. I can call in and they answer, but when I press the button, it disconnects and operator comes on and says, if you want to make a call, hang up and dial again. Have tried everything. It was raining, but no big storm, just wind blowing, but don't know if it was lightening or not. I contacted Dictaphone and they have flat rate of $301 plus tax to fix it.
Dictaphone
Yikes! We used to have a guy come to our office to fix but I live in Washington state. Sorry I cannot help further. I have a Dictaphone for sale for $250 if you need one.
dictaphone help
I am in need of help figuring out how to transcribe remotely from a dictaphone c-phone calling into a dictaphone straight talk system. 
Dictaphone EXT
THE BEST SYSTEM TO WORK ON TO DATE - Simple, friendly, no fuss.
The speech part is great also, but is only good if the person responsible for training it does their job . If it is not tweaked everyday, it is worthless. So the added theroy of the system is only as good as the operator (or in this case, the montioring person).
need Dictaphone help
I have a Dictaphone Straight Talk that suddenly stopped answering the phone when my client calls. Dictaphone won't service this model anymore and the computer repair shop I went to didn't know how. I only have one client using this system and don't want to spend to much money replacing or repairing it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
RE: Dictaphone
Dictaphone does not show printout, but tells you the minutes. If you push button, think #6, it tells you how much time you have left if programmed for that.
Dictaphone Help!!!!please!!!!
I am on the road right now and trying to work from a family members home on my laptop, however my 2-yo knocked my dictaphone off the desk and now although I can get a dial tone I cannot get any of the keys to work!!!!!
Anyone have any experience with anything like this
? About using dictaphone
Is there a way when files are assigned to you to know how many files or how much audio length you have assigned to you through some function on the Dictaphone itself?
RE: Dictaphone
There is no summary, I dont' think. Know you can get the minutes if you hit play header or 6. Can't get total of what you have though.
dictaphone
I'll try that...thanks for the help!
Help with Dictaphone
I just started workinag (again) with a Dictaphone C-phone. Does anyone know what the codes are to speed up dictations, slow down dictations and how to skip and flag jobs? Anything would be helpful. Thank you.

Did you trying contacting Dictaphone
and asking for a replacement? I've done this before, I don't remember is there is a cost.
I think it's Dictaphone ExText
Someone on here said that once. Check the archives.
Thank you. That is exactly how Dictaphone explained it to me sm
when I went to Florida for training.
Programming a dictaphone
I have a dictaphone, model 0421, which my company would like me to program to work with their Lanier system. I have no idea on how to do this. I tried e-mailing dictaphone and could not understand the instructions at all. I am able to dial into their system however, my foot pedal works backwards. This would not be a major problem, but my fastforward and rewind do not work at all which is a real problem. Any ideas?
Dictaphone strips?
How about the Dictaphone belts. They were strips of..whatever?? that we put into the Dictaphone machine to transcribe. We first would put them into the doctor's machine for his dictation (at the clinic I worked at). Then when he was done either he or the nurse would bring the magnetic? strip and clinic papers to me and I would transcribe on my IBM Selectric typewriter..LOLOLOL..Thanks for the memories, fellow transcriptionists!
Dictaphone Cphone SOS
Has anyone ever locked up a C-phone accidentally and now requires a security code which I do not have nor does the owner of the machine to do anything. I am at standstill. Any advice appreciated.
Yep, but its the Dictaphone system...
My hospital rad account decided to "upgrade" their system which supposedly would take half an hour - its now 6 hours and counting - and the docs haven't been able to dictate since noon - boy R we in for a backlog tomorrow! 
Dictaphone problems
I had my dictaphone all programmed. The electricity went out, and when it came back on everything was fine EXCEPT for the ringer. I have been unable to figure out how to turn it off. I tried program/tel/off/no/to turn line 1 ringer off enter the zero on the telephone key pad/lift receiver. That worked once, but does not now. Can anyone give me some suggestions/help?
Dictaphone problems - Thank You
THANK YOU to the person who sent me the instructions on how to turn the ringer off. It worked!! :-)
