work for a C-phone? I do have unlimited long distance, but it's not the regular old phone line, it's through my cable server. Compatible?

Digital you can either get a phone-in system. sm
Phone-in is more expensive, obviously. Digital handhelds are best option. You can have doctors buy or you can provide and use as a writeoff on taxes. You can use Express Scribe for most, but most of the time there is a transcription module for whatever brand of recorder you buy (Sony, Olympus, etc)
Computer/digital phone system question - SM
I currently use a Philips digital transcriber system, which I call the number and get my recordings through the phone line. I would like to get a laptop to start doing my work and was wondering if there was some way I could move the recordings to the laptop and just work strictly with the laptop and foot pedal.
If anyone has any information or knows if this can be done, I would appreciate it.
Thank you,
Linda
Is a C-phone like Bytescribe call-in system or Philips digital transcription
My 2 stations don't have the actual phone piece, but I can make calls to the place where I get work. I'm just curious because I want to take a test that requires C-phone, and I'm not sure if my stations will work or not. If anyone can give me some background or information on this, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
I do tapes and digital. And I was told if I'm not logged into the digital system, they assume I&
BUT she wants me logged into the system by 9:30 a.m. So I'm confused too. I've decided that I may come back to her and just say I'm not going to do the tapes anymore. I hate the tapes anyway. The voice quality is horrible, it fades in and out. It takes me twice as long to transcribe their tapes than the digital.
Do you use a digital system
How does it work on the clients end and on your end. How much did it cost?
Best digital system to buy
 I want to start my own MT business by getting my own private accounts. Tired of relying on others for work. Anyway my potential clients are in another state. What is the best system to get by which doctors could log dictations to my PC or a server? Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help. I'm sure I can land the accounts -- just need a set-up that works.
Digital system
I use a system by Vance Digital and absolutely love it! Please e-mail me if you have any questions.
The website is www.vancedigital.com
I set up a digital system
I also maintained the mother ship for that digital system. I also constantly worked in Meditech creating macros, which we weren't given permission until we begged after waiting so long for that company to put in some canned text AND I NEVER GOT A RAISE. It's all part of your duties. Get over it already!
We are just trying to forewarn you that a new system usually means outsourcing. That's all!
Most likely they'll laugh at you for asking for a raise to do these "other duties as required." Look at your job description and see what it says in the fine print.
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.
Digital Call In System
I have one doctor who wants to come on and go to a digital call in system. Does any one have any suggestions for an economical system to use?
Thanks,
Kelly
They are probably looking for a call-in digital dictation system or
if they have one in their office, a ld service for you to call in and get the dictation.
I certainly would ask and clarify what exactly they are looking for and what they want.
Good luck!
Digital Recorder versus Call-in system
I have a friend from church who is a physical therapist and she still uses the tape recorders for dictation (about 10-15 therapists). I would like to try to obtain their transcription account and offer them a better way to dictate. I currently have 1 account of my own who uses an Olympus digital recorder and I also work for a company that uses a call-in system. Does anyone know anything about a call-in system, such as obtaining it for a business? Or do you think it would be cheaper in the long run to offer the digital recorders to each of the dictating therapists in return for their dictation? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Instead of a call-in system, why not use a handheld digital recorder?
The sound quality is much better, the recorders are very affordable and you can use FTP to transfer files both directions.
Does anyone have any info on WinScribe Dictation System?? Not a transcription program but a digital
n
Digital phone is about the only way to go.
Something like Vonage or through local cable company.
with some digital phone services--sm
the product you mention, Phone Tools by BVRP, is not able to be used as some digital phone services do not support faxing functions, as of yet.
I use MaxEmail internet fax service. They have a free program for using a limited amount of faxes both outgoing and incoming. They have a Lite service, which I use, for about 10.00 per year, for unlimited incoming and outgoing faxes during that time. I have been VERY satisfied with their service. I have used them for three years.
I have digital phone service through my
cable internet provider. I no longer have a C-phone account, but used it for a few months without any problems. It is truly unlimited. I tried VoIP through my ISP provider and couldn't get it to work and support is in India and less than helpful. I have read where many people use Vonage and are happy with it.
I used my digital phone with Meditech. I
use high-speed cable internet and digital phone through TWC. I actually used a C-phone to call into the system, Meditech is the platform and that is through the internet.
Meditech is a horrible platform, had to make lines. I can't see why your setup won't work though. If you work for Keystrokes it will.
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!
VDI call-in system sounds much better than digital recorders and easier tracking with redundant hard
You can hear a pin drop on this system. The sound is that clear. The system has a redundant hard drive and auditing capabilities. It has the capability to do everything but transcribe it. The better the sound file, the faster you can transcribe. I purchased a call-in system that used digital recorders, and the sound was so bad that I ordered this one the same day. I wasted $1200 on that system. Get the analog that uses a VDI SuperStation or C-phone (the C-phone is more clear). Even though the technology is not as new as the digital recorders, in this case it is better. Good luck!
Digital phone/C-phone
Does anyone use a C-phone with digital phone service? Does this work out okay?
Need a C-phone for work. Can I use a digital transcriber sm
I have 2 digital work stations. One is Bytescribe call-in system. The other is Philips station. Neither have the actual phone part that you pick up. I can call in to different numbers to get work. Does anyone know if this will work? I need a "C-phone" to get work for a new job, and I don't know if I should buy one or what. I posted before, but no one answered. Just thought I'd try and ask again. Thanks.
Does anyone use Mediacom's digital phone service? sm
It is available to me but I do not want to switch until I know more about it. I know some of you use Comcast, so if any of you have any advice for me on the digital services, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! 
Lanier & digital phone line
Does anyone use a Lanier with a digital phone line (not VOIP)? Anything else required to make this work?
thx.
Anyone use VoIP phone system
and are you having problems with connectivity? We switched to internet-based phone service a few weeks ago and recently I started having problems with downloading the voice. I get the report but without any voice. If you have had this problem, how did you remedy it? I'm about at my wit's end. Thanks!
they are dialing into a phone system, so are you -
it sits with the MTSO or the hospital itself, who sets the key codes.
I thought about a phone system but
I like getting out in the mornings. A lot of times, that is my only outing for the day and I get to see the staff, who have become my friends, so I don't mind the drive.
Digital phone line with Lanier voicewriter
Now I am getting digital phone through my cable company with the addition of a data line which is suppose to give me unlimited access for dial up so I am hoping that will work. Does anyone else use a Lanier with Time Warner Cable digital phone and if so any problems?
Would someone please explain to me how a c phone system works?
I have been an MT for 15 years....started with typewriter! LOL Anyway, am now up to digital dictation with local hospital but am looking for other employment. I'm trying to understand the c-phone system and how cost effective it would be to work using one. I have been offered a job but need a c-phone and unlimited long distance. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the help.
Using a DVI system C phone. How do I get my foot pedal... sm
to automatically back up a bit? The instructions I have for my DVI are very limited and I can find nothing with regards to automatic backup. There is no phone number (got this phone long time ago) to contact for help. Was hoping someone here could help. Thanks!
I have used a Digital Transcribe Station from Transcription Gear in lieu of a C phone just fine nm
A special phone w/a foot pedal and headset attached for dialing directly into a system. Google it!
s
I was told I needed 2 phone lines, but was told I was dialing into the doctors' system. What woul
Meditech is an operating system and Fusion is voice for a dictation system

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!
Anyone use/try C-phone with Medicom's phone service?
Wondering if it works?
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.
