I hear ya! Lanier headsets are the best and I found this website that appears to have the original headset by Lanier with a little volume control gadget added to it.

I may just order a couple of them myself as the one I have is old but still is the best one and works like new and never hurts the ears.

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!

Used headsets...
I worked for a company where many MTs sent back the used headsets with ear wax on them when returning equipment. First of all, I didn't understand why they would even send back a used headset...but with ear wax on them?!?! Disgusting!
headsets
I like the stethoscope kind - fit right in your ears.
Tell me about headsets! Which do you use/like best?
I have to invest in a new pair, my are crackling and the sound quality is getting very poor.
What are the best sets out there? The stethoscope style that go in the ear, stethoscope style that only go against the ear, tubular style, ect?
I have a toddler at home and need to be able to hear her, so I don't think the noise canceling ones would be a good option for me.
THANKS!
need new headsets
I am in need of new headsets and was wondering what everyone uses. Thanks for your input!!
for those using DC-10 headsets
I was all ready to purchase this headset on-line when i noticed they appear to be monoaural (1 stripe) rather than stereo (with 2 stripes on connector). I plug into my PC -- do i need a headset with a different connector, or is there an adaptor of some sort? thanks.
Headsets
I went with the cheaper set. They are glorious. I can't live without them. I definitely recommend investing in a pair.
headsets
I find I have a lot less white noise when I plug directly into the computer than plugging into the speakers.
Headsets / Speakers
Anyone know of good headsets that provide clarity? I am looking for that rather than volume.
I have also thought about just using good speakers (no headset), but I am wondering if it would cause more errors of sublte wording. It seems like it would be better on the ears but not as good for hearing.
Input is appreciated.
Office Max headsets
Has anyone ever bought the stethescope headsets from Office Max? They have clear plastic tubes leading to the ear pieces and a center cord. I can't find a brand name stamped on them anywhere and my OM doesn't carry them anymore. They cost about $21.97. I need to know if someone has a pair and/or if another Office Max locally to anyone is still carrying them that I could get the brand name/model # so I could order them online.
TIA!
I have tried many headsets over 20 years, but
I find the very best clarity are USB based. Forget about the ones that you plug into your speakers. USB are the best headsets.
I recently purchased a Plantronics DSP-500 USB headset. No noise whatsoever and the audio is the best I have ever heard. Also very comfortable. Average cost is $50.00.
To those with good headsets
Do the better quality headsets allow you to not have to crank the volume so much? I don't like blasting my ears but with the poor quality recording and the way the dictators speak, I often have to.
Have you noticed that is not so much the case once you have purchased good headphones?  - Thanks for any feedback.
I have Bose headsets
LIke some of the other posters said, bad sound files are bad sound files. I have noticed a huge difference though in what constitutes a bad sound file for me since I got my Bose headphones. Yes, they were pricey. I spent about $150 for them. I rarely have to crank the volume and I hardly ever get the staticky white noise sound that I did with regular "transcription" head phones.

To those with cheap headsets
Just wondering if any of you have tried the "quality" sets? I only ask because if you have not compared, you might not know what you are missing.
I keep bugging you all because it seems when I make investments that are supposed to help, it is about a 50/50 success. Some help; some were not worth the money.
I need to get faster. I am okay with certain accounts, but others slow me way down, so I need to make every improvement I can to make the slow accounts a moot point (at least).
Thanks again for all the help!
An audiologist told me earphones and headsets will sm
cause hearing loss. He was quite alarmed that I did this all day long, day in and day out. He said it would be much better to use the speakers.
Has anyone experienced diminished hearing from transcribing with headphones/headsets? sm
I don't think I hear as well as I used to as I'm always asking DH to turn up the voice on the television, and he used to play in a rock band! He would be more likely to have hearing loss. Just curious as there has been a lot said lately about MP3 players and hearing damage.
Lanier
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!
lanier
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!
Lanier LX-219-1

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!
IC Lanier
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.

Lanier
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.

Questions on Lanier 219 or 230
Could some MTs that use either of these systems please email me. I have a ton of questions concerning these machines and don't know where to look. Looking at working on an account that requires one of these machines and have been looking on ebay. Asked a few questions to one seller and I don't think he knows what he has. Any help would be really appreciated.

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!!!
Lanier hook up
I purchased a Lanier 230 and come to find out it did not come with the required cables to hook this stupid thing up. I got the base unit with large display, the power supply, the foot pedal, and the VTI but no cables. Can someone tell me what cables I need and how to plug it in so it will run properly? The only thing that came with it is the quick check brochure on how to program it. Nothing is mentioned on hook up.
Thank you in advance everyone. I would like to get to work on an account but don't even know how to get started. I figured posting here would get a quicker response. I don't want to go bald... hehe
