I was hired for a specific account/specific
work type. I've learned the dictators, done the macros, now they need to hire new MTs because the workload has increased, so they switch me to a very difficult account, doing everything but my normal work type. Does this make sense? I'm productive on my original account, not productive on new account, plus I'm majorly stressed. I do ESL 90% of the time but the new account is really horrible, not only ESL but they mumble and the quality of the dictation is bad. If you took a new hire and put them on this account and they stuck it out, maybe they wouldn't think these dictators would be so bad. I've talked with the MTSO and they say they'll switch me back and that lasts 2 weeks and then back to this horrible account. It would be different if they called and said we need you to do this account for a couple of weeks, but it doesn't pay enough for me to do from now on.
I understand this is the way the business is and my griping probably isn't going to help anything, but I just had to get it out.
Where do you buy foot pedals for your transcription. Who has the best foot pedals for sale.

Is Transnet the same as VPN? nm

TransNet
I train MTs on TransNet. Yes, you can use the Internet at the same time. Who told you that you can't? Just curious.
TRANSNET
While in TransNet, go into "Player Settings". Move the slider, for volume, to the + end. You have to click the OK button after you adjust the volume. If you don't click OK, your volume will go back to where it was in the first place.
Lanier.....TransNet???
Hi Everyone!
Do you know if Lanier makes a sofware package similar to TransNet in which you can sign onto their system, download your voice files, and then sign off? If so, what is the name of that software?
Thanks!!!
TransNet users
1. Have long have you been using TransNet? Is it hard to learn?
2. Does it work with Word 2003?
3. Do you d/l the files through a modem or through a cable or DSL line?
4. If you have a cable or DSL line ... how long would it take for you to download, say, all of the Alta Bates or Sequoia reports. I ask about those only because I can translate that into lines in my head. IOW, "it takes 1 hour to d/l a full day of Alta Bates." This way I could figure out where things would stand on one of the accounts I work on.
5. Would you rather use TransNet or C-phone? Why (whatever your choice is) <-- this is the critical question, so feel free to go into detail
6. What happens if you've download a batch of files and your hard drive crashes? Are those files gone forever or are the "originals" still on the master system?
Transnet question
Does anyone use this program - getting ready to start using it, would appreciate any information regarding productivity, etc. Thanks!!
Exttext/Transnet
Does anyone use this software on a laptop; if so, have you experienced any problems. I am thinking of installing on my laptop to take on vacation with me this summer so I can work a bit if needed. Thanks!
? for TransNet users
What do you use to listen to the dictation, and where do you plug it in?
Problem with Transnet
Is there anyone who has used Dictaphone Transnet with Windows XP that experiences a problem with it closing down occasionally upon doing a rewind/listen or lifting your foot on/off the foot pedal to listen? Sometimes the voice gets garbled, sometimes the program shuts down. Any resolutions? Thanks
I don't use ExTxt, just Transnet and
I only have to restart the Transnet program but there must be a fix so it doesn't happen. It never happened when I used Windows 2000, just since Windows XP upgrade.
Is it possible to use a 9-pin or USB adaptor with Transnet
Starting IC job and need to have own foot pedal. I have an infinity pedal with a 9-pin but not sure if it will work with Transnet with or without adaptor. Does anyone know?
I use ExText with Transnet. (sm)
I like it a lot, actually. I don't use the Expander built into it, but use Instant Text. I can't believe the same company who came out with the PowerScribe (shudder) came out with this product. It's pretty good for MT, IMO.
I think a lot depends on the server you're logging into. The hospital I transcribe for seems to have a good stable system.
Transnet volume
Thanks, Lilly. I have that box for traditional typing jobs, but for speech we use a different version. We did figure it out, though. It is - plain and simply - F2, and then slide the volume control up.
I appreciate your time to help, and thank you!
WE need EXText TransNet Software
We need ExText TransNet software. How can we get this software. Please suggest me.

Nina from Transnet in Florida
about $400 worth of work from July/August never paid for. E-mail after e-mail with your check is on the way but of course never showed up. This is after I worked with her for more than a couple of years with no problems. I'm pursuing an action in small claims.
Dictaphone TransNet - Very easy
Snow Bunny,
TransNet and ExText is very easy and simple to use. It is a Word based platform.
Depending on how your queue is set up, you usually download 5-10 reports at a time. When you finish one and upload it, the other comes in to be transcribed simultaneously. Cable modem is the fastest and easiest and it takes not time at all to download - say 20 reports will download in about 1 minute.
I know those two accounts you mention - I am not sure what you are asking? You can only download the entire day's work if they set your queue up for that, otherwise you will get 5 or 10 at a time and once they upload, another one will download.
Or they can set you up with Administrative priveleges and you can see all the dictations in everybody's queue for the day.
Personally, I would prefer TransNet. You must remember, TransNet is just the communication or should I say voice download software. ExText is the transcription software. If you are only using TransNet, that will only download and upload your voice and you will transcribe your reports separately in Word.
If you are using TransNet and ExText, the entire program, you will download the voice as well as use the transcription platform, Word Based, and it should fill in the headers with patient, MR#, Visit, DOS, etc.
I hope you understand and I didn't confuse you.
Iam using TransNet on my laptop as I type.

Dictaphone extext transnet
I use dictaphone Extext transnet and yes I had to get a dictaphone foot pedal to work. The company thought any pedal would work but Dictaphone said no it has to be dictaphone pedal.
Good luck!
Transnet pedal question
Can the Transnet pedal used for the ExText platform be plugged into a 9-pin outlet on my computer??? Although I currently use a IN-USB-1 Infinity foot pedal that has 4 "square" pins, I may be getting an account that uses the Transnet pedal and my company told me they would supply it.
Dictaphone Transnet question
I presently work with a Dictaphone C-phone but have been having problems with either my phone system (FIOS) or the phone, or both. The boss suggested switching to Transnet. I have heard that when working on Transnet on your computer you cannot have access to the internet. I need to do a significant number of physician lookups for addresses, etc. so this would be a definite draw back. I'd like your opinion as to the pros and cons of the C-phone vs Transnet and if given the choice which would you prefer.
Thanks in advance.

Foot pedal for Dictaphone Transnet
Can I use a USB foot pedal with Dictaphone Transnet. I was told it has to be the foot pedal with what looks like a phone cord used in conjunction with a USB adapter.
Weird Transnet pedal question
 I just got installed on ExText and Transnet today and, after a little trouble getting the pedal to work, finally got it going and transcribed a report. Then after finishing the report with Ctrl-N, the next report came up smoothly, but the pedal would not work. I did that one by starting and stopping with the mouse, then the next report again the pedal did not work.
So I logged out of ExText then back in again and lo and behold the pedal worked. Again, however, when I signed off, the next job came up with the pedal not controlling it.
I was curious to see if anyone else has ever had this problem. I've emailed my tech support person; it's not an emergency really as I can work (albeit slowly!) , but it sure is a strange problem!
TransNet Player Speed Control
I really need and would appreciate HELP on this one! I am using the transnet player with ExText on my new job (which I love), BUT - is there a way to control the speed of the dictation with Keystrokes rather than opening up the "more" box and changing the speed level????
I want to be able to change the speed during different areas of the report. For example, I like to speed through air time or thumbing through chart time, etc., and then return to a normal speed for typing. Some docs I have to speed up, some docs I have to slow down, but with this player is there any way to do this with keystrokes and not going to the player, going to the more screen, moving the slider, clicking okay, etc. ?????
If you can use a 15-pin foot pedal with an adapter with Transnet
Account says they use an IN-BMG (15-pin) foot pedal with a USB adapter. Can you also use a 9-pin with an adapter? Account manager wasn't sure. I really hate to buy another foot pedal for a new account if I don't have to. Does anyone at all know if this will work?
I used to work with TransNet...Loved it and would recommend it
I was told since Dictaphone is Transnet only that foot pedal could be used
Like you, I already have 2 foot pedals - my desk floor is a maze of wires! Post if you find out differently, but again I was told had to be Dictaphone Transnet foot pedal.
It is a Transnet issue. The hospital I work for has the same problem. nm

Dictaphone Transnet foot pedal questions.
I'm going to be installing Dictaphone Extext program and accessing it through the Transnet part. I've tried figuring out whether I need a "special" Transnet foot pedal or not. Some earlier posts say yes and some say no, that they just use either a 9-pin or a 15-pin. So, I'm perplexed on what I currently have which is both of those and with which I also have USB adapters will work or if I need to order something from Dictaphone. Any help would be appreciated. I also wonder if possibly whether or not it works is due in part to your particular computer.
best sound- WinScribe Dictaphone Transnet-NO- see inside
Best sound is Winscribe. Google it. Has excellent, excellent sound, far better than Dictatphone ExtText (see below). Has demographics that are with the job, however I don't know if it has a way to make the demographics automatically download into a document--- my company does its own programming for that. ? May be ask.
Dictaphone ExtText is tedious, tedious, tedious. I don't know why people like it. And the Expander that comes with it is poor, very few features that typists would use and a some that work against you-i.e. it won't capitalize an abbreviation you have put in, even if you type it in caps. I worked on it twice, 5 years apart, and they NEVER upgraded the sound or other features to make it more MT-friendly. A company that puts SO LITTLE EFFORT into their product for the end-user will never get my vote! My input, my opinion.
Volume Setting Command for Transnet/ExText
Anyone there who knows how to "permanently" set the volume for Transnet/ExText speech? I know to double-click on the volume icon to raise the volume for "Each Report", but not how to do it "permanently". I did it once by accident, but with recent upgrades, it wiped it out again. Anyone? Thanks!
The Transnet pedal I have has a phone line connection on the end, sm
which plugs into a Dictaphone adapter which plugs into a USB port on my computer. To my knowledge, it cannot be used for anything else, but I could be wrong.
Good luck!
Wav pedals
No, wav pedals can be proprietary. Wav player software is divided into two catagories, OEM & Generic. The OEM solutions generally have wav pedals specifically for their solution. By a large, Generic solutions make use of the Infinity wav pedal. However, some modify the pedal so that the user must purchase the hardware from them $$$$$

pedals
I'm really confused and need some clarification. I have been transcribing for some local doctors the old-fashioned way with cassettes and microcassettes. They now want to get updated by going with wav files (they will be on CDs). What do I need to get? I've never had a pedal that plays wav files even when I tested for some different national accounts.
Could someone please recommend a brand of pedal? Is it something that plugs into the USB port? Thank you in advance for any advice.
USB pedals
Yes, it definitely matters which foot pedal you use. I'm in a situation where I need to replace my USB foot pedal and have found that there is NONE that is interchangeable with my software. I love my software but do not like my pedal so I need to decide which direction to go. Anyway, the software has to be compatible with the type of files you are transcribing from, i.e. .wav, .dss, .msv, etc. Be careful though. Even though it says it is compatible it may not be. I have the Sony FS-85USB which only works with Sony's Digital Voice Editor (MSV files). Other software says it is compatible with MSV but not those. ONLY the FS-85USB pedal works. If your company doesn't provide your kit for you make sure you research it real well and ask a lot of questions.
What does this mean? Dictphone Transnet to get voice and Dictaphone Extext to transcribe in. Thanks
Thanks for the help!
Foot pedals
When I was a C-phone user, I had to buy a couple replacements. It was too costly to have a repairperson repair them, and instead it was best to throw it out and buy a new one. It used to be we could open them up and clean the CONTACTS.
There are different types of USB pedals
There is Olympus, VEC, Infinity, many, many. Look at the bottom of your pedal to get the code. If it is an Infinity, you will see something like IN-USB1, or IN9B (for 9 pin) or IN-DVIUSB. All the Infinity foot pedals work with ExpressScribe EXCEPT the DVI because it is a higher technology than is compatable with ES. Run the foot control wizard on ExpressScribe to help it locate the foot pedal and recognize it so you can use it. You may have to try all the COM ports on the wizard before you hit the right COM port and the foot pedal is recognized. My Infinity foot pedal USB1 is recognized in ES as the _VEC_ if that helps you.
I have had to do the hand control thing and it is very frustrating and can make the test take 4 times longer than with a foot pedal.
foot pedals
If the footpedal setup wizard doesn't work it may be that your 9 pin port card has been setup to do other things (maybe games?). You need to get the driver for the card (perhaps the driver CD is lying around somewhere) or get a nerd to update the card's driver. Port settings can also be a problem. Sometimes it's just easier to switch to a USB footpedal!
You could also try Port 1, 2 etc in the settings, running through the wizard each time and see if that helps on one or the other of them. Another possibility is mechancal, the cable/socket may be damaged.

I have Infinity pedals
I have two Infinity foot pedals and just ordered a new one recently for my laptop, a USB from Jay Vance (who posts on another MT Forum). It was $79 including shipping and I had it in about three business days. I was very pleased with the price and his service. You may contact him at: info@vancedigital.com
I have an old Infinity that still works but needs to be sprayed with silicone I think as it squeaks after many years of use but it still works. :)
FOOT PEDALS
I need help quickly. Someone gave me a foot pedal with a serial adapter. However, there is no serial port on my new computer. Is there any way I would be able to use this foot pedal with my new computer? Thanks in advance for your help.
foot pedals
I had a 15-pin serial port (game port) foot pedal and when I got a new sound xcard, it no longer had the game port on it, so I was stuxck. I tried the adapter route, but it does not work bexcause of the wiring for the fast forward etxc in the pedal. I ended up having to buy a USB pedal. Alot of newer *puters don't have game ports anymore. good luk.
foot pedals
I would like to thank everyone who offered their advice. I will let you all know how the adapter works out once I get it. Again, thank you.
2 foot pedals
Yes you can; I've used as many as 3 pedals at one time, as long as you have enough ports to plug them into.
Foot Pedals
Any idea why the MT companies are asking that you buy their foot pedal? I have several foot pedals I purchased from employers, and no one wants to use the one I already have. Each new job wants you to buy their foot pedal. I see an ad with MedScribe who is requiring the same thing.
There is no software for these pedals. --sm
you should shut down your computer. plug in the pedal, restart your computer, and it should recognize that the pedal is there. It won't recognize it if you just plug it in with the computer already running. give it a shot. good luck.
Foot pedals
I am going to have to be purchasing my own foot pedal soon, and I was wondering if there are some that are better than others, etc. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does anyone know if a dictaphone USB foot pedal can be configured for Emdat Inscribe?
Foot pedals
I have a question about foot pedals. Up until now, I have always transcribed from tapes, and I loved the foot pedals on the transcribers because they were easy to use. I am now transcribing with a 9-pin foot pedal, and I find it very dificult to use because it appears to be tight. I feel as if I have to stomp on it to make it play, rewind, etc. Any suggestions on foot pedals?
I like my Infinity pedals. nm
