Does anyone know how to set the backspace increment on c-phone. My instructions say to use * for "set incremental motion" but it's not working. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

C-phone auto backspace - How to?
Does anyone know how to set/adjust auto backspace on a Dictaphone C-phone?
Thanks.
C-phone auto backspace
When I used the C-phone, I would press 9 to increase auto backspace and 8 to decrease it.
Adusting auto backspace on C-phone
Can anyone tell me how to adjust the autobackspace on C-phone. I want to shorten it and can't find any directions. thanks.
How do I get AutoCorrect/Text to do a backspace, i.e. {backspace}-year-old?
I use yo in my Shortcut and that can handle the backspace function but now I'm using a new platform and had to import my Expander BUT it won't import entries with {BACKSPACE}. I'm trying to put it into the AutoCorrect/Text but it won't take the command to backspace so now when I type yo it comes out looking like this: 35 -year-old and I have to manually go back and take out the extra space. When I try to enter the command exactly like in ShortCut, {BACKSPACE}-year-old, AutoText sticks it in EXACTLY like that.
 Is there a way to get it to do what I want???
shorthand backspace
do ctrl/k, then hit backspace key, add -year-old....will look like {@KEY BkSp}-year-old
hit Ctrl/K, hit Backspace, hit Okay

I mean, ctrl k backspace OK

Setting backspace for pedal
I have an older transcriber (DAC Model DA-125) and have had it for quite some time now. I moved my office over the weekend and had to unplug the machine. Well, my backspace has reset to practically nothing and I can't find my manual on how to reprogram the backspace. Is there anyone else out there using this phone and if so, how to do reprogram it for the backspace length?
Thanks so much for your help.

Does anyone know how to increase the pedal backspace on a DVI? sm
I am having a problem that when I lift my foot off the pedal, it pauses but does not back up at all. It is hard to work like that and I cannot figure for the life of me what to do to fix it!
Well the backspace feature won't work as far as I know BUT sm
I use 48x and have that expand to 48-year-old and it will expand correctly. Some people I know use 48y and set it to expand to the same thing. Not perfect but hope it helps.
Left thumb backspace keyboard
I can backspace with my left thumb and space forward with my right thumb. No reaching up with my pinkie to the backspace key at top right. It's called an "Erase Ease" I think. Let's me fly.
Just backspace over it. I think they just want an e addy so someone is accountable for the post.

My split Comfort keyboard has backspace on

Does your program have an option to put in a backspace in your expander?
I use ShortHand for Windows, and if this is what you use, you can put {@KEY BkSp} at the end of it and it will automatically backspace as part of the shortcut.
Same thing applies for bolding, etc. If you look in the help section, you should be able to find out if you can do this.
If you work in Microsoft word, you could record a macro instead of putting it into the autocorrect section.
Good luck!
do ctrl/K, hit Backspace, hit OK, type year-old

Type Matrix keyboard has backspace key in middle- sm
The TypeMatrix keyboard is split down the middle, one split, with backspace keys (two of them) in the middle. It is a vertically aligned keyboard, so if you can imagine each hand has its own keys and therefore its own backspace key. You can see it at www.typematrix.com
I cannot recommend this keyboard enough (no, I don’t work for them)...I have had it for several years and it is amazing...I have reduced the pain and stress in my hands and wrists by 95%....I love it! 
Open the normal.dot file and change your zoom. Hit the space and backspace and close it.

C-phone used to call in to dictating systems to receive work. A special phone. nm

I had a lot of trouble with static in my C-phone. I replaced the phone cord and that made a big
difference. Also, have you tried a different headset? Also someone told me one time that there is a microphone under your volume control on the right corner of the C-phone. It's a tiny hole. If you break off a Q-tip and stick that into the hole that will squelch a lot of background noise and that worked as well. As far as getting your C-phone service, I heard that Dictaphone is "sunsetting" C-phones at the end of this year. Meaning, they aren't going to service them anymore as they are considered an obsolete technology. So, I would contact Dictaphone and see what your options are.
I know very little about Lanier equipment. I've not used it as extensively as Dictaphone. Is there a local appliance repair place in your area? You might ask one of those places to take a look at your equipment and see what they think. Kinda scary, cause they could do more harm than good, but maybe worth a shot.
Not much help, I know. But I thought I would share what tiny bit of obscure knowledge I do have. 
I've changed them between an old phone and new phone, but the same company, i.e. Nextel.

I use my c-phone whenever we travel. You can hook it directly into your room phone. Be sure and as

I think you can dial into most systems that require C-phone without having a C-phone nm
.
I am wondering if there is a way to use your C-phone with Vonage phone service?
??
May have to change phone companies, have switched to job using a C-phone. sm
Currently have Embarq (formerly Sprint), and my usage will be going up about 12,000 minutes a month. What phone companies offer really unlimited for a flat rate? TIA.
C-phone and ATT. There is no problem with the C-phone, but ATT wouldn't let me use unlimited.

I have cable phone access and my C-phone works - sm
I am not sure about you problem, because it sounds just like I have mine hooked up. The only thing I can think of is that mine has 2 line hookups in the back of the phone. If you have this too, I would just try the other one, which you probably have already done. Sorry that was not much help. I wish you luck
I have a very loud hum when using my C-phone, but no hum when I'm using the regular phone. SM
Anyone else experience this problem with their C-phone? Is there a problem with my C-phone? At first I thought it was my telelphone line and called the phone company. They sent a technician out to replace the lines and check the house, but the hum is still there on the C-phone.
It's driving me batty!
C-phone info regarding phone lines etc.
I am completely clueless on the subject of a C-phone. Can someone help me understand exactly how this works? Do you have to specifically have a separate "dial up internet" service to use the C-phone? I currently have cable internet and am wondering if there is anything else I need to get. I guess I should contact my phone company. At any rate, any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
If you use a C-phone for work and have a digital phone
through cable, have you tried to take an incoming call?
We only have one phone line. I rarely get/make calls and when I do we have cell phones. I just started working with a C-phone and got digital phone. I can go a month and my phone not ring, so far have gotten 3 calls today, but I'm afraid that if I try to answer the phone that I will lose my report.
I guess I could pull up a report and have my husband call on his C-phone and test it that way and then if I lose it no biggie.
Anyone use/try C-phone with Medicom's phone service?
Wondering if it works?
Does anyone know of a keyboard that has the backspace key in the center of the keyboard? NM

C-phone and phone line
I have cable for my Internet so I have my C-phone on my regular home phone line and forward my home phone number to my cell phone.
A c-phone is just a phone, with headphones sm
and a foot pedal. You call into a number (hopefully 800 number), put in your codes, and a voice file comes on. You use the headphones and the foot pedal, and transcribe on your computer into a word processing program, then send the finished file back per their directions.
The c-phone is not connected to the internet in any way. There is no downloading involved. It is just a phone by means of which you get your voice files. It needs a phone line and you stay on the line the entire time.
c-phone from cell phone
I believe if you check with your cell phone carrier they have an adapter that you can use to plug into your cell phone from the c-phone. Not sure about this but I think I had a friend tell me she had to do this but it was a year or so ago. Hope this helps.
It connects via phone like, just like a C-phone.
I have an old actual C-phone phone if that is what you mean, (sm)
not the newer kind that connects to a computer. I don't know if yours is programmed the same, but mine shows 8 to decrease and 9 to increase. Hope this helps.
C-phone and phone plans....
I have a company that I have recently hired on with that uses c-phones. At home I have an unlimited long distance plan, but I'm wondering if while traveling there is a plan that you can get in order to use a c-phone in a motel, relative's homes, etc. I like to be able to still work while traveling and I feel this is going to limit me. Any suggestions or ideas?
Digital phone/C-phone
Does anyone use a C-phone with digital phone service? Does this work out okay?
You can get a used C-phone for probably
$150.00 on E-bay, new about $800.00. The re-record equipment is about $15.00 at Radio Shack, but re-recording takes a lot of time and the sound quality is diminished, so figure that into your line count.

Hi Jo,
I have a Dictaphone C-phone that is just sitting here and has barely been used. Will sell for $100.
C-phone
Thank you very much. I am currently looking into a position which requires a C-phone but have not actually tested and accepted a position yet. Please let me know your email address and if I decide to work for this particular company, I would like to purchase the C-phone from you.

Hi Jo,

I have another lady interested in this C-phone too and have told her I was waiting to hear from you by the end of the week.

What is a c-phone, how does it work?
I just got off the phone with them
and they said they have been cracking down because they have had too much pirating. I could purchase a license again at a nominal discount...I think it works out to be about 30% but it sounded like they would make no exceptions.
Would it work burning it to another disk? I don't think it will as you still need your serial number to register...
c-phone
As you can maybe tell, I have no idea how a c-phone works, but I do have a job op where I would need one. I already have a phone line and a dedicated dialup line, so I should be good to go, then. Thanks for your reply
They said I would need to get a C-phone.
I'll have to really give this one some thought. Thanks for your help. 
I am on the phone with them right now...thanks..will let you know how it goes...

Happened to me also, i took it apart and 2 screws had fell out, once i replaced them it was as good as new!
Usually using a C-phone you do have better
sound quality because you are getting first-hand dictation. When using wav files they are usually bled off another system and you do tend to lose some sound quality, though it most cases is not significant if the original dictation is of good quality.
Sound quality can also be affected by sound card or computer settings. I used a C-phone for years and now have been using wav files for about 8 years. There was a period of adjustment while I had to retrain my ears, the same way I did when I started doing 95% ESL. Since most decent-sized MT companies hire from all over the U.S. I'm surprised there are still so many using C-phones, though many companies do not pay the cost of long-distance or a second phone line so it is cheaper for them not to have to upgrade their equipment to convert.
I have gotten used to wav files now and don't think I could go back to using a C-phone. I have a laptop and I like to sit outside when it is nice, so I can download my files and just carry my laptop and foot pedal outside and work away or I can get up in the middle of a report to take a shower, fix dinner, or whatever.
