if a new headset doesn't help, plug directly into CPU and avoid speakers and see if that helps.

You might need to bypass the USB hub and plug directly in. sm
I have had this problem with other USB devices.  I just switch around until I find one that will work in hub.  I don't use EMDAT so don't know if that's the problem.  Maybe someone else can shed some light on this. 
Usually when you plug in the headset
that automatically send the sound to the headphones instead of the speaker. This could be a DAC with a problem unless someone else knows a secret that I don't. Try a different headset and see if the results are the same.
Can you just plug the headset into the speakers?

Ladies!! My c-phone headset plug is not working!
I don't know what happened.  One minute it was working fine and the next day whenever I insert the headset I get no sound.  The footpedal works fine so it is not the power plug..only the headset and I also cannot get the speakerphone to work or I would use it this way.  It's one of the C-phones that have no display...I'm so upset.  I purchased it off of E-bay about 2 weeks ago for $150.  Any ideas of what I can do?  How to get the speakerphone to work.  Thank you!
A special phone w/a foot pedal and headset attached for dialing directly into a system. Google it!

You plug it into an outlet, plug in the phone cord, hook up the
footpedal and the headset and it works. 
Plug adapter into serial port, plug foot pedal into adapter,
plug adapter into USB port.

Radio Shack...easy, cheap.
speaker plug-in
I have a Dell and I had to invest in a set of Labtec speakers where you can plug the headphones directly into the speaker. I had already tried everything else and I just couldn't get enough volume out any other way. The speakers are available through TranscriptionGear.com, I believe and were quite reasonable.
I don't know what the Koss Plug is, but for myself I just
The kind with the small, hard ends that fit into your ear, not the big, round, padded ends with the foam on them. They're under $20. They don't hurt at all, and I find the sound quality to be fine--but I've not had a lot of experience with other, higher quality earplugs.
Do wi-fi places let you plug your lap top into

No, there is no where on my speakers to plug into so I must ..sm
plug the headset directly into the back of the computer..on the floor..hard to access. Then I have to unplug the headset and plug up the speakers when I want to use them so not quite an ideal set-up!
I just plug into my computer, but I use

Audio Advantage by Turtle Beach.  It supposedly bypasses your sound card and the dictation is a little bit clearer. 


I had one account that provided computer and they sent me speakers,but there was such a hum/static with using the speakers that I couldn't use them.   Others with the same company complained about the hum/static too. 


Need help with USB plug, no audio
Just tried a new USB headset and now no audio at all. Did what I was asked to do but noticed under control panel it is not acknowleding the USB, saying SoundMax digital and cannot get the USB to show and also under sounds it says no sounds. I have unplugged several tiems, rebooted several times and have no clue as to how to get sound now. TIA.
anyone who needs to plug in an extra USB
You can go to Walgreen's and buy a Hub for $10.00 apx and then plug it into the computer.  However, if it doesn't work at first, unplug it and then plug it back in.  This only works for the mouse, keyboard and foot pedal, not the printer plug.  The printer plug must be plugged in directly into the computer.
I only have 1 plug in on my new computer
I need 2 of those, 1 for the monitor, 1 for the foot pedal. I got splitter tonight and both ends are female, need male and female to handle what I need. I have Infinity foot pedal that I use for voice recognition. Does that make any more sense?
Sometimes they are setup so no place available to plug in. You
should probably get a new battery. 
If you could possibly get new speakers with plug-in...

Do you mean the power plug in adapter? nm

Isn't USB one type of plug for the footpedal?
When I was getting set up, I remember it was important my computer could take the right plug for the footpedal. It wasn't the flat USB (?) type, but the phone plug type, so my computer had to have openings shaped for a phone jack type.

But I'm still not sure if DLS is okay to use or not. Sorry!
I plug my keyboard into the laptop. nm

Same here. I just pack my keyboard and plug it in.
There is no way I could be productive on a standard laptop keyboard.
Here is what I did....my foot pedal has a 15-pin plug. sm
My foot pedal is an IN-BMG. On my old tower, I plugged it into the "joy stick" port on my tower. That is the only place you have to put it if you have a 15-pin pedal. Then, when I got a new computer, it has 2 USB in front and 4 in back, I took my pedal to Radio Shack and got an adapter. The pins on my pedal go into the holes in the adapter, and the other end goes into one of my USB ports on the front of my tower. I have not had a bit of trouble with it since I have been at home and that has been 5 years.
Use mine for work sometimes, but plug in my Goldtouch sm
keyboard and "real" mouse.   Obviously, too cumbersome for just "play" at a coffee house or something, but when I travel, I do pack the "good stuff" with me 
Unplug shut down plug in and reboot!
:)
I just meant when you plug speakers into the computer
and then the headphones into the speakers. When I plugged headphones directly into the computer the sound was never loud enough for me.
If they have a 3.5mm plug, you can get an adapter to go to 2-prong C-phone.

Try this plug-in for Windows Media Player. sm
It looks like the .dvf file is a Sony recorder file. You don't say why the file needs to be converted to .dss and I'm not even sure that you can because .dss is proprietary to Olympus. Maybe this plug-in will be of some help to you. Let us know.
You can get a combo wireless AND plug in router sm
Linksys makes one and even Walmart has them. I would not go wireless for MT because it is too slow. If you have, say, a wireless laptop that you want to sit on the couch and play with or take to the bedroom or whatever, having a dual router is convenient. You still want to MT on a plug in Ethernet cord.

They are very easy to set up. Linksys has instructions and I have never had a problem. You don't really need to tell you cable company, they aren't going to know or care. Your modem has a set speed and having a router will not increase that speed. Routers make a kind of virtual partition of cable signals. If you have a 112 modem like we can get where I live, you'll find yourself very slowed down. I go up 2 notches and have a 512 speed cable modem and when my kids are here and they all plug into the router to play games over the internet, I can still MT because the signal is pretty fast (well okay until they piggyback another router and hook up 8 computers for a LAN party).

What I would tell you directly sm
I know you want a better job and for whatever reason, it just has not happened...YET.

Anything worth having is worth waiting for. Up to a point, the longer you wait the better it will be. Though, after a while it seems useless, it really isn't.

I had a wonderful job up until summer of 2007. Like a fool, I had $$ in my eyes and I took a job at 10 cpl. It was hard work and the line counts weren't great, but then they started to regularly run out of work. That was year ago this month. I started actively looking for work and I had offers, but I didn't take them because the grass is usually greener over the septic tank, rather than on the other side of the fence. I have been burned and didn't want to be so again. I sent out one last resume just before Christmas, but didn't think anything would come of it. I was wrong. My gift for Christmas turned out to be my dream job, so I quit the one I had.

In June, the one I quit in December begged me to come back and I accepted, because as a PT job, it would be perfect, and it has been. The boss I disliked is gone and a great gal is in her place. There is also a great deal of work.

I have the same time in you do, 15 years. I have waited much of that time for a full time job and a part time job to come together in a way that meshes as perfectly as these two do. All good and wonderful things come to those who wait.

I am wishing YOU all good things and soon. There is a company out there wishing for a hard worker, looking for their needle in a haystack and that needle is YOU. Best wishes and good luck!
Thanks. I purchased a three way plug last night and it appears to be working and yes for the-sm
poster above it does have a filter on it but the way it plugs in I needed the extra plug so I could still be connected to the computer for my fax to work.  Thanks again for the help. 
Plug foot pedal into laptop. Or use hot keys.

Have wireless network, just plug my foot pedal into my
laptop.  Many companies say they are internet-based, but that may mean that you can download and then get off-line to work, or it may mean that you have to be on-line and type live into their system.  I have found very few companies these days where you can download and then work off-line. 
When you plug in the peripheral, the laptop keyboard still works so you

The plug is for the monitor, pedal wouldn't work there. NM

I was not meaning you directly at all
guess I was just trying to get across the point that in other parts of the states southerns are protrayed as such. I am white, my husband is black and my mixed daughter was an English major in college here in the south and an accountant now, She, along with me, shutter when we hear ebonics. Like where you live and where I live outsiders would probably not believe with all the diversity, huh?
Jan -- I type directly into the EMR
Your doctor can still dictate but you will type directly into the EMR but you need to do it in house unless they allow you access from home -- which they might.  But it is hard to charge per line as there will be some "normals" that they put in.  So I do it hourly at the clinic.  Have done this twice now for clinics.  The first one, only one doc did the dictation, then another started and pretty soon all five were doing it and I had to quit as they needed someone full-time and I have my other own accounts.  I did it just to help them out at first and get out of the house.  But they did not like the hours they spent after seeing the patient doing the charting.  So one never knows.   Good luck but don't burn your bridges.   Charge them reasonably but not out of anger.  
Please see the post directly above yours.
While you are right that SSDI is different than SS, you forget that there are hundreds of children out there who have lost one or both parents and receive SS until age 18. They are certainly not retired so you're argument that it is SUPPOSED to be an account that helps people after they retired is inaccurate. It is, as originally stated, a program that was meant to help people who fell on hard times (not retirement).

As far as judging someone else, I'm just stating facts.

Like many other hardworking people on this board, I am not especially fond of watching my tax money be spent in a wasteful manner (I am not calling SS wasteful), and I certainly do not appreciate the people out there who are looking for ways around the system.

I could go on in this vein for a while but I've got to get back to my work. :)
Wow, this must be directly for a facility. Sm msg

Very hard to imagine an MTSO paying that type of money, although it is well worth every penny!  Good luck!  Grab it quick!


Even though IC directly for the hospital,
it sounds like you do not handle all of their transcription needs (in other words, providing the staffing, with the hospital being your account). For MTSOs who do have hospital accounts, I have seen the rates varying between about 18 cpl and 25 cpl (I imagine this is dependent on several factors, such as how the lines are counted, volume of dictation, and geographical location, among other things). For clinic accounts it also varies, but usually at a lower rate, about 12 cpl to 18 cpl, again depending on several factors.
Where do you buy Dictaphone Deluxe headphones with the straight plug? Are they worth the $69? nm

working directly for rad office

If you took a position working from home directly for a small doctors' office (5 docs) with no ESL and you supplied your own computer and internet, what is the lowest line rate you would accept?   There is a good chance they may provide benefits too, including medical insurance.  This would be for radiology only with mammos, x-rays, CTs, diagnostics, ultrasounds and no MRIs. 


Thanks in advance for comments. 


 


I work directly for a hospital in the NE,
the list is provided to me by the hospital.
Hi, Paul. Appreciate hearing from you/him directly.) SM
Anon, I also love this product; Paul and Ben did a great thing producing it and I'm grateful. I can't say why I like the platform so much except that it pretty much doesn't make me think about it. The work's in the reports, not fussing with the system. With one big exception as far as I'm concerned--it really needs a wild card or at least a better search feature for practitioner's names. That's often a major time waster.

I also like it so much because I find I'm faster on VR. It turns out I have a knack for editing, while I'm just a mediocre typist; others are obviously discovering the opposite. I certainly don't feel the disconnect from the dictator's meaning described by another editor. I confess, although many "hearing-it-wrong" mistakes are made by eScription (enough to make me needed), I've come to have a very healthy respect for its ear and listen very very carefully before overriding its reading.

That said, I'm unfortunately soon moving on to another, untried platform. My old account was offshored, like other eScription accounts with my employer before. I've heard the profit margin with eScription is just too low to compete with local editors. Sad reality???
I have my headphones plugged directly into

Is the post you replied to directly above this one?
If not, the one you replied to may have been deleted. They can't control that. They delete one part and everything in response to it automatically goes with it. They can't leave responses hanging there when the one it was tacked onto was deleted.
That cpl is for contractors working directly with doc.
I made 14 cpl (65 char including spaces) when I had my own account.
