Lanier head set

The old standby Lanier headset which is specifically made for MTs is really still the most reliable and best choice for MTs. It's specifically made for our needs. It is certainly not fancy and the style of it has not changed and its very basic and no frills. You can get little spongy things for ear buds and they help some. Take your head set off between jobs like when you spell check and proof, that helps.

Ooops, sorry. My last post said "head head." I meant "her head." Sorry.
Hi, Deeni! I did Lanier for several years and was always told that Lanier....sm
would only work with/accept/interface with other Lanier products, that everything was proprietary, but that was a few years ago and do not know if anything there has changed, wish I was of more help! Have a good one!
Went right over your head
You take them into your home then and may God have mercy on YOUR soul.

Although I am not sure what you mean by "reliable."
Just off the top of my head,
I am assuming this is a group effort. Give them a weekend stay at a great motel. Do they camp? Give them a gift certificate for several nights stay at a great campground. Do they have a favorite restaurant? Gift certificate. If they have some collection, add a piece to it (crystal, silver, art). I can imagine it's a hard decision. Best of luck with it.

Yes Transcend uses the voice writer on certain accounts. Just started using it.
Lanier VXP??
Anybody use Lanier VPX? I can't get my wav pedal to play these files. Any suggestions?
Lanier VXP
These can only be played with a Lanier footpedal. They have a proprietorial header on the voice file and cannot be opened without the appropriate footpedal.
I have a lanier - sm
I would like to know more too. Thanks.

Does anyone use a lanier voice writer and looking for extra work? Thanks!

I know this may be redundant, but try unplugging everything and then start over. I have had this happen and it corrected it. Good luck!

HELP WITH LANIER LX-230
My Lanier LX-230 will NOT turn on when I push on/off button  . I tried *99 1 to see which buttons are programmed, and the on/off button did not light up  . Does anyone know what (if there is one) the code is for on/off button for the LX-230. To check, pls. try *99 then 1 while your LX-230 is off, then push the on/off button once - the code should be displyed...PLEASE reply to me with the code.
WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!!!

If you use a calling card to dial into the hospital system using a Lanier, do your phone card minutes start to decrease immediately or only when you have the foot pedal down and are listening to the dictation? I hope this question makes sense? Tx

 On mine assign job is on the right side 5th one down - good luck!

Check out MDI-MD.
Could someone tell me what a Lanier is.
I know I heard of it but not sure exactly what it is.
Lanier
It is a device that hooks into a phone line and you hook in your headphones and receive the dictation through there. Expensive peice of equipment. You have to dial into where ever your dictation is coming from. Does that help you at all?
I currently use it.
Lanier
Looking for an affordable digital system that would allow at least 4 people to dictate at the same time. Since they dial into the server with Lanier, is it possible for more than one person to be dictating at the same time? Would you need more than one phone line to allow for this? (Not sure if this system would allow for that or not). Any suggestions?
Thanks.
lanier
if you know job #, use the assign by job # key and reassign it to yourself. if you don't have that key, holler and I'll give you programming directions.
lanier
Try unplugging the phone lines from the modem (flat box) for about 10 minutes and then plug back in.
I need some help. I have a Lanier LX-219-1 with VTI. sm
I need a terminal block, power source and pedal. Can anyone tell me where I can get these. I have checked Executive Communications and they have them new. I would like to buy used if at all possible. Thanks!
Lanier P-145
Hello,
Does anyone know how to use the Lanier P-145(An old telephone 4 tape recording system)? Or does anyone know of a manual I can get my hands on? I just purchased a used one and I have tried everything and I can not get it to work!!! It does power on, but I am not sure if I am hooking everything up correctly.
Thank you very much.

Agree. Lanier the best, but expensive. $600-700 for mine 12 years ago. Lasts forever, and you can spend the same $600-700 on cheaper models that will need to be replaced with new on a regular basis. Have tried Olympus, Panasonic, Sony - all lasted less than a year.
Lanier 219
Any one here know ths machine like the back of their hand? I have a few questions about functions of some of the keys.
Lanier
Sometimes they get sensitive and can do that, or also not give a full visual read-out in the window. When that happens, the tech tells us to fully power it down, totally unplug from its power source (from the wall, etc.) and let it sit for a full 5 minutes. This cools the unit down and since they are preprogramed which also includes programming of your footpedal, this allows the preprogramming to come back to its original state. Mine does stuff like that about every month or so. Most of them are pretty old. Also, you may have to get technical support if powering down does not work, to check your pedal settings. Hope this helps. I know these "old dinosaurs" get fussy sometimes.
Lanier
I am trying to find out what are the advantages/disadvantages of Lanier versus other platforms?
Harder/easier?
Outdated/up-to-date?
Lanier is the best
Any transcription product with Lanier on the name is #1 in my book.
Lanier
Lanier is one of the oldest, slowest, clunkiest systems around. I actually quit a job that was paying me 11 cpl on Lanier and took one for 9-3/4 on WAV and am making waaaay more on the WAV account. Lanier stinks.
Lanier help
I need the command prompts to use to access a Lanier system with non-Lanier equipment.
I access 2 other Lanier systems with the same equipment with NO problem at all. But this one is recognizing me as a "dictator" and not a "transcriber".
The prompts I do have, don't work. They are "call in, wait for beep, enter #6" I should hear "welcome" then enter my ID and should be good to go.
I've spent almost 3 hours searching for the solution on the internet and I need help fast. There are a ton of jobs waiting for me on this new system - so I'm losing $$$
thanks in advance for any help or suggestions,
Lanier
Is it possible to get Lanier voice files with anything other than a Lanier? I tried calling in on a Dictaphone, but it doesn't work. Seems like I remember someone posting about this, but I can't remember how she said it was done.
Thanks.

I think this poster hit it on the head

Of course I hit the nail on the head.
I'm your psychic network friend. And I also have a hard time playing nice and sharing in the real world. Especially when the masses are idiots. You know what I mean?

P.S. Don't be afraid to go over the head of
your local boss, they are likely to stonewall you. You should follow protocol and START there, but do not hesitate to carry it further if not satisfied.......... the protocol for this is actually outlined on QNET.
hit the nail on the head
i totally agree with what you're saying -- nothing is across the board, like when the statutory people in some office only needed to get 4000 lines in a pay period and others went from 5000 to 6000 and then I think they finally after about a year or so decided that it needed to be across the board. that doesn't go over so well.
Being treated as people would really be the nice part.
Exactly! You hit the nail on the head
It seems it would be for everyone's good.
You have hit the nail on the head here!
I cannot agree with you more! I have over 20 years experience (hospital, orthopaedics, urology, cardiology, etc). I absolutely love medical transcription and I am very good at it (years of experience, not bragging). I have always earned a very nice paycheck and have had to turn work down locally because I was in high demand - that is, until MQ came along. Now, it's absolutely ridiculous.
Now, I have had to reduce my lifestyle. I can't buy my children the clothes that I used to. We have to watch every dime. AND - this is with working TWO JOBS now instead of one.
My reputation is practically useless now. So, just as you have said, even though I absolutely LOVE MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION, I have no choice but to return to school at 40-something years old and study nursing. I have a 23 year old daughter who earns more money than I do, even though I USED TO EARN MORE!
So, thanks a lot all you big corporations who are living high on the hog because of my expertise. Keep in mind, it won't last long, at least not with my help!
Woo Hoo! You hit the nail on the head!

You hit the nail on the head.
Yeah, they do, don't they? And they all support each other. Must have no life whatsoever that she needs to come on here and incite these angry posts just to get some weird satisfaction in her life. And then she has to agree with herself to give her wretchedness some validity. What a giant loser.
You hit the nail on the head!

You hit it on the head. Office has always been
chaotic, but now the tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Whatever you do, don't ask a question or you will join the headless horseman on his midnight ride.
head lice
I have a question for all you moms out there. My husband called me from work and said that the day care called his secretary and told her to pick up her daughter because she had head lice. My son attends the same day care but is in a different group because he is older that his child with the head lice. I told the day care to call me if even one in my son's group has lice and I will pick him up right away. What would you all do? I send him to day care because if he is home he and his 12-year-old brother fight all day and I don't get anything done. He is five. Should I just go get him and not chance it? Any advice appreciated.
head lice
There was an extensive breakout in my child's school at one time. All the kids had it. I would just go get some Nix and treat him now. When my son got them I did not know you could not see the things. The only way I was able to tell was to hold a sheet of white paper and comb his hair catching it on the paper, they look like little specks of pepper, but if you watch closely they change shapes (move). I would not be too horrified, it is bound to happen in day care.
I know several kids who have had head
lice including my own. I have used mineral oil to get rid of them. Just put it all over their hair and put a shower cap on for an hour and then comb it out with the nit and lice combs you can buy in any drug store. You may have to wash the hair after this 2 or 3 times because the mineral oil is hard to get out. I know people that have used mayonnaise also. The oil and mayonnaise smother them. You will have to vacuum good and wash sheets and such as noted in the above message. You have to also check them a week after treatment and treat tem again if necessary. Also, I know people that have sprayed hair spray on their kids every morning before school to prevent them from getting lice. I don't really know if this works or not. All the schools my kids have gone to will not let them back in until they have been checked by the school nurse. I hope this helps.
