Need Straight Talk Dictaphone 7120
Seeking used Straight Talk Dictaphone 7120 transcribers to sell at local flea market. Can buy immediately. (cash paid if locally in Virginia). Please contact C. Johnson.
Anyone uyse a Dictaphone Straight Talk #7120?
I bought this brand new but it has an annoying quiet buzz. Also, how is the tone on yours? Mine sounds muffled. Is there any way to clear it up? I have the tone slider at the top of the "+" sign. Is there another way to up the tone so it is more clear?
My doc tried to test it today and he said all it did was beep at him. He did use an author ID. Do you ever have problems with it constantly beeping?
Of course, the "manual" doesn't give a lot of info.
I own the older model that used tapes and never had a problem with it. I beginning to hate this one and I've only had it since Monday.
Dictaphone Digital Dictation Straight Talk System 7120 user manual
I had posted earlier about a manual for the Straight Talk System 7120. If anyone has a manual, please let me know. Apparently someone responded but now I can't find the original posted message. Thanks!
skipping jobs - sm
I can't stand "cherry-pickers" they should not be allowed to continue in this field, as they make it difficult for everyone. Having used a C-phone for several different jobs - we were told how to skip jobs ( at times it was necessary - not just skipping jobs that we didn't want to do) although some people did and then the feature would be blocked for a while, usually until that person quit and then it would be returned to us. One job was a #8 - return to pool another was a #7 - return to pool. I think that the C-phone can be customized to whatever someone wants - however I have always found the instructions for programming the C-phone to be elusive or nonexistent - that is one of the great mysteries of this world.
Straight Talk manual
I had emailed you and asked you to contact me for information regarding a manual. You can download it at Dictaphone's website, but since it has been a week or two since I emailed you I can't remember exactly where on their website. I guess just do some looking around. I think it was in frequently asked questions or something like that.
Where do you buy Dictaphone Deluxe headphones with the straight plug? Are they worth the $69? nm

Deperate for info on Straight Talk 7120
bought this brand new but it has an annoying quiet buzz. Also, how is the tone on yours? Mine sounds muffled. Is there any way to clear it up? I have the tone slider at the top of the "+" sign. Is there another way to up the tone so it is more clear?
My doc tried to test it today and he said all it did was beep at him. He did use an author ID. Do you ever have problems with it constantly beeping? I tried using a cell phone and land line. I have no trouble. What could be the problem with him? My attorney also tried to access the system and it did the same thing.
own the older model that used tapes and never had a problem with it until it died.. I beginning to hate this one and I've only had it since Monday. I'm about to lose my doc of 15 years because of this problem. His work is due tomorrow and he never dropped off tapes since Monday. I think I may have lost him and if I did, I'll be really disappointed, especially since his check goes for groceries.

help..how do you set it up for skipping? sm
I looked through the book and can find nothing that tells me how to skip jobs so that i can tell them how to do this. I tried # and number and plain numbers and nothing. If the actual Straight Talk needs to be set up this way, do you know where in the book this could be?
thank you for any help
Skipping, sm
I worked on a C-phone for a long time, and now I work straight internet. Cherry picking goes on all the time. My company has it reduced, FINALLY, where you can not see available jobs and cherry pick; however it is still done. The MTs on the account know the difficult dictators and they will reject the job, costing someone else lines and $$$$. If it do 3 or 4 very difficult jobs in a row that in my best opinion have been rejected by other MTs, I simply sign off for an hour or two. I don't do that often, but when I get jobs 2 hours old, that I know have been kicked around, I will to 3 or 4, but 5 or six starts hitting my pocketbook. I simply take a break and sign off and come back in an hour or so.
Skipping School
My 17 yo stepson missed nearly every day this semester. Actually, he just turned 18 and has decided to go live with a friend. However, he wasn't a partier...stayed at home all the time...quiet. But he got on the school bus in the morning and then took off to McDonald's across the street, or took the city bus to the Mall and hid out all day. I don't know if he'll even graduate now. Anyway, point is, I am a very diligent parent, but sometimes there is nothing you can do. I'm not saying your neighbor is a good or bad parent, but I've done everything possible, and received very little help from the school system, law enforcement, etc. Once they are 17-18, there's not much you can do. Sorry for your noise problems. If it is really late, and very noisy, maybe you could get Codes Enforcement to do something about it.

No, it is just a plug and play
Skipping reports on C-phone
Although you are not supposed to, you should be able to skip over reports that are not specifically assigned to you. If you can't skip over them, they have likely been assigned to you by the administrator, in most cases the wicked senior transcriptionist. This is what I call reverse cherry-picking or programmed cherry-picking. It makes their day a lot easier at your expense.
keyboard skipping keys
Does anyone else have problems with some of the keys on the keyboard skips intermittently, not all the time, just sometimes? My keyboard is brand new. Not the most expensive, but it is new. What can I do? Please help.
JMO, but you are better off just applying directly to a company and skipping them altogether...
they basically try to fit your experience with a company and you can do that yourself...
Does anyone know about how long the foot pedals might last? Mine is skipping and

I did 3 jobs for a while about 3 years ago, you burn out quick, I was doing 3 MT jobs though...after
10 months I cut down to 2 as I don't like to have all my eggs in one basket. But I am considering going down to 1 in September for my sanity, its a good steady job so financally it should not be an issue. I have 2 right but have not worked the 1 in about 3 weeks due to some problems at their end, supposed to learn a VA account but not sure if I want to pursue it right now or not, they are waiting to hear from me at this point. I still have a lot going on with chemo, etc. so am mulling things over. But if you have a full-time day job, then I would just go with 1 part-time MT job at night, unless 1 is during the week, and the other weekends only, then of course you will be working 7 days a week, very tiring I know. I have been working 7 days a week for 3 years now but I do slack off now and then of course to recharge and get sleep etc. But burnout happens fast and I doubt you want to lose your day job so be careful. Good luck.
Two jobs very common, 3 jobs not unheard of.

Straight up!!!!! LOL nm

Okay, let me get this straight.
So, Meredith, Star and now Eliabeth are all leaving? And you think Joy's going to put up with Rosie??!? Highly unlikely. Wow, I guess that's the end of the View as we know it. What a shame!
You got that right, straight and
pretty wordy reports. Just not showing up for a few seconds but also audio is jerking along, word....wor....d… word…wor…d
I have my facts straight.
Comments by people on message boards don't matter. It's the BBB complaints and lawsuits that back up my facts. Of course, people are going to say good things about a product or service in order to sell, sell, sell. It's called damage control.
Your going straight to hell.

Yep, STRAIGHT TO HELL...
I wouldn't stand near you in a lightning storm for anything. You are amazingly cruel, bordering on evil.

150 wpm straight typing.....sm
In high school 1st quarter typing I was doing 70 wpm, by the end of the 1st year of typing in high school I was at 100 wpm. At the end of the 2nd year of typing I was averaging 140 wpm.
They better get that description straight
Im sure that they made a mistake but that really is not helping on our self esteem. Maybe we could write our representatives to rectify the problem?
I don't as I know several straight male MTs...sm
just like I know some straight male nurses.

Can you fax straight from computer
Can you fax it straight from your computer so that you don't have to print and then put in fax machine? If not, how long does it take? My charge would depend on the time it takes you to do this and how many a day you fax over. Keep track of how many you do per month and see what you feel it is worth. If it just takes a couple of minutes and is only one or two per week, I would do a minimal charge but if it becomes more often or ends up taking more time, figure at a rate of $30 per hour and divide that into the time it takes to do one fax and charge that per fax.
I have faxed over some things and not charged anything as I can just fax from my computer and all I do is go to print and select fax, the page number, put in the number and send. So it is not that time comsuming for me. But if it were a daily thing, I would charge something.
gross/straight
what is the difference between the two when charging a physician. thank you for your help!
Are you asking for VR or straight typing?
VR will give you much higher line counts but not at 7-10 cpl.
Straight typing please (nm)

For those who have gone from straight typing to VR...
What sort of training did you get? What sorts of things did you wish you'd gotten for training? Thanks :-)
Get your facts straight
"This whole mess" as you put it started long before Clinton became president. Also, remember he was dealing with a Republican congress, which is where NAFTA originated. Reagan was the culprit - it was during his decade of greed that America put itself up for the highest bid - like a lady of the night.
I have straight typing in there as well
so that pay is higher and I have speed on fast forward. If you have the speed, probably can do the 3000 or better a day. I set the goal for myself at 3000 so I would bring home what I wanted every 2 weeks.
THAT sure sounds like it was straight out of
"I'm good enough, and I'm smart enough, and doggone it - people LIKE me!"
;)
Is this straight typing....
What exactly are you typing?
vr versus straight
I make more money doing straight typing as well. Boy, is this an offer from TTS in NH?
Get your facts straight
I cannot believe how ignorant some of the comments in this section are. Physicians from other countries go to medical school in their own country. When they come to the United States, they must pass a Foreign Medical Graduate examination. In addition, they must complete their residency here in the U.S. They also must pass the test to obtain their medical license in the state in which they wish to practice. You don't just go to a mediocre school in another country and then come here and set up practice.
This hourly is for doing straight QA, but you
have to transcribe if they need you to in an emergency, like usual companies. I don't know how much experience you need, I just took the test and I did so well they offered me the QA. But, I have done MT and QA in the past, and have lots of experience. You may as well take the test and give it a try, why not. Good luck!
Get your story straight...
You said above: Morally, especially the "f" word, I can't bring myself to even type it out.
Now you claim you were just asking the question because you were curious. Our point is, if it's part of the medical record you need to type it. As someone else said, if you are bothered by just typing the F word, does it also bother you to type abortions, etc.? You are in the wrong line of work if typing a word bothers you so much that you "can't bring yourself to type it".
The difference here is it came straight
xx
I do straight transcription.
I was just wondering about the reports I send to QA. They're making great money off me because I rarely have more than 1 blank and most of the time they can't get it either.
