Need Lanier ExWriter to test. Will VDI station or C-phone work or can I rerecord?
Posted By: Dianna on 2006-02-07
In Reply to:
I am unfamiliar with the Lanier ExWriter. Can somebody please fill me in? I have a C-phone, VDI station, a call-in system with L.E.E.C.H. capabilities that can download work onto my system from another, or rerecord equipment. Can you access files from call-in systems like you can with a regular telephone and C-phone? How is the sound quality? I am not to thrilled with the .dss or WAV files.
Thanks!

Lanier station
not sure where to post this, but I have a complete Lanier 219 station that I am going to sell. Any offers will be considered.
Company requires a C-phone. Will a Lanier Lx-219 work as well? sm
What is the difference in a Dictaphone, C-phone, Lanier LX-219 and Lanier Expresswriter or Voicewriter?
Thanks!
Lanier Remote Station
Can anyone send me instructions on how to program an older Lanier remote transcription system? I think it is an LX-128? I just don't remember. I took my out of the closet to see if it works and have lost my instructions. Everything is all plugged in and works. HOwever, I get a double tone and not a dial tone. I remember having to program it but it has been sooooooo long ago. Any help would be appreciated.

Lanier station with Comcast Digital
I have used this for quite some time with no problems. I have also used a C-phone and Voice Solutions Digital Workstation with Comcast and it works just fine. The only thing you may have a problem with is having dictation cut out periodically or what sounds like "choppy" dictation (and this occurs VERY rarely) and all you have to do is disconnect the phone lines and power from the back of the device you are using, wait a few minutes and plug back in and it should work. Other than that, NO problems!
Lanier station w/Comcast digital voice
Will this work? A couple of years ago I tried a Lanier with Vonage and it didn't. I don't want to go through the setup trouble only to be disappointed again. I really need more minutes than my 5000 per month with Qwest. Has the technology changed to make the Lanier compatible with internet phone service? Thanks if you can help me. 
I have used a Digital Transcribe Station from Transcription Gear in lieu of a C phone just fine nm
Yeah a 30 minute test---work for free, he gets enough to test, his work is done - nm

I use it with C-phone and Lanier.
I have had absolutely no problems with it at all.
C-phone vs Lanier - sm
The two devices are completely different, and if the facility you type for is set up for C-phone, Lanier will not work. Don't ask my how or why, but I have both, and they are not interchangeable for each account.
Lanier vs C-Phone - sm
Unfortunately for your desk space, they cannot be used interchangeably. They are two separate dictating systems, although they basically perform for the MT the same way. What is dictated on Lanier system cannot be accessed with a C-phone and vice versa, but I don't know the technical jargon for why this is so. I, too, have accounts on the two separate systems, have two foot pedals under my desk, and have to shuffle the machines around and plug in the phone line when switching over. You get use to it after a while. Hope this helps.
I have used vonage with c-phone and currently Lanier sm
voicewrite EX and have no problems. I just have the personal plan. I didn't see any reason to get the business plan. You have unlimited long distance on both but they charge you more for a business. I have used vonage over a year. I love the $27.00 a month. It is good to have a regular phone line also because when internet is done vonage is down also.
I have Lanier transcriber-nothing like C-phone
I have a Lanier transcriber that I pop small tapes in to transcribe. But Lanier is a huge company that has branched out into other areas.......but the transcriber is NOTHING like a C-phone.
MT on the road using C-phone or Lanier? (sm)
Anyone have any suggestions for using a C-phone or Lanier while traveling? I'm planning a vacation and will stay in a hotel (with separate work space). I've worked before while traveling with my laptop and transcribed via wav files or a tape transcriber, but never with a C-phone. I've thought about purchasing a calling card to use the hotel's phone line to dial in; know it'll be expensive. Any ideas and recommendations on this plan are much appreciated, i.e., calling card, hotel's phone line.
Thanks!
Lanier versus C-phone
I just started a new account and they have sent me a Lanier 219. I have been using a C-phone for another account and hate to clutter up my already messy desk. Can the C-phone do the same thing as the Lanier? Besides, I have no idea how to hook this thing up.
Lanier/cable phone
I'm guessing you're in the west as you mentioned Qwest before. I use cable phone through Cable One with my Lanier and have had absolutely no problems with my minutes being truly unlimited. I have also had no problem with sound quality. It only has gone out once this year during a storm and they had it back up pretty fast.
Does anyone know how to program a new phone number in a Lanier? sm
It is a Lanier LX-231. There are a couple of buttons I would like to reprogram but couldn't find anything by Googling. Thanks!
Lanier & digital phone line
Does anyone use a Lanier with a digital phone line (not VOIP)? Anything else required to make this work?
thx.
I use Vonage with a C phone and Lanier with no problems, love it.

I have had no problems with Vonage at all, I haved using Lanier and a C phone.

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?
You mean like TransHealth's phone test? sm
Yup (Transhealth's test).
Anyone know how I can test a Dictaphone C-Phone?
I bought one used on e-Bay...it appears to work...I get a dial tone, but I can't use or program pedal functions until I'm connected. Any ideas? Thanks.

C-phone used to call in to dictating systems to receive work. A special phone. nm

Lanier is a type of dictaphone, but when speaking of a C-phone, it's meant as the Dictaphone Con

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.
Anyone work with a Lanier VTI unit?
Just started today for a new service. I have plugged in the Lanier VTI unit and have checked the connections; they all seem to be correct. I can dial in to the hospital system and access a report, but the foot pedal won't work. My MTSO is calling in a technician but I hope it's not something silly I'm overlooking. Any suggestions?
Keystrokes - Lanier system - anyone work on it?
nm
Lanier is proprietary meaning it will only work
with a Lanier system and you cannot use a C-Phone or DVI workstation to access a Lanier digital system. You won't be able to use it with a DVI system or Dictaphone. However, if memory serves, you should be able to use a Dictaphone C-phone or DVI workstation interchangeably with most other digital dictation systems and Dictaphone.
Rerecord
Yup, I hear you, sister. Problem is while some of my clients are digital, others are not and are not willing to change. So there you go. I have no doubt there's an easy way to do this. I'll just keep plugging away.
Rerecord
Well, easy as sin. How could I resist? Thanks a million. I'll check it out.
Rerecord
Thanks to all. I'm new to this site and am greatly impressed. I'm sort of isolated out here, even if it is paradise on a beach in Hawaii, so it's great to make contact with hard-working like-minded ladies pounding the keys just like me.
Looking to rerecord from RTAS
I work in IT for a medoum sized MTSO. We are looking to rerecord dictation from RTAS/Lanier/DVI but can only find transcription ASPs who support rerecording from DVI, not RTAS/Lanier. We currently have our own solution, but are looking to move awy from it.
If any of you know of any transcription ASPs that alow you to record from RTAS/Lanier/DVI , please post
Thanks
Lanier Foot Pedal will NOT work with Express Scribe
Sorry to tell you but no a lanier foot pedal from a transcription machine will not work with an wav.player.
Most foot pedals out there are at least 69.00. - (cheapest I found) - and be careful what kind you get - if you have a newer computer - you will want the USB one - (faster, works great)
Faster way to rerecord tapes
Is there a way I can rerecord tapes quicker to computer by playing tape double speed then slowing it down once finished?
Any suggestions on speeding this up will be appreciated. I have a lot of tapes to rerecord. BTW, my doctors do not want to use handheld units or a call-in system (for those of you who may suggest this).
The company I work for said cable phone wouldn't work, just FYI.

Yes, they do. If you can pass their test, you can work for them
We were all newbies at one time. There are companies that hire newbies. You just need to find them. Try the big nationals or small MTSOs with clinic notes. Or you can start out with Worker's Comp, physical therapy, chiropractors, vets, dentists or insurance, and then transition into full MT after you've finished your training and education. Try working on-site in a doctor's office or in a hospital. Once you've proved you can do the work, they'll often let you work at home. Be proactive instead of reactive.
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!
Yes, but the test files are indicative of the actual work.
If the sound quality was so terrible, you didn't want to work there anyways! Right? I do know how you feel. I brain fahrvegnugened on the difference between brady and tachy. Now, everybody knows that one. I just got momentarily confused on it because I get "deer in the headlight" syndrome on oral testing.
Doesn't work that way with me. I just did a test from my other email addy to the other one, decl

Trying to take a test in Express Scribe and cannot get my foot pedal to work. I dont want to
cause a problem in DQS with the foot pedal either. Any suggestions. I have the foot pedal that you use for DQS. It is an Infinity foot pedal.
It did not work with my C-phone (sm)
The function keys were not recognized, forward, backward on the foot pedal, etc. I did not want to re-program my phone just to use, assuming I could figure out what it would recognize. I sent it back. Wonderful idea, great technology. Works with a regular phone, though. Received a prompt refund. Hope this helps.
DSL does work through the phone line
I have mine through SBC. They sent filters to put on each phone line. Does not interfere with phone usage.
Since the modem is plugged into an electrical outlet as well, you will lose your connectivity if the electricity goes out.
You seem overly worried about no electricity. lol ???
RE: Need anyone's ideas on how to do this - I work via C-phone but need to go to my son's to
They do not have a land line but use cell phones. Is there some way to use my c-pone through my cell phone so I can work while I'm there? Thanks in advance
C-phone - How do I get the headset to work?
Hi all!
My question is "When my C-phone call is connected what is the sequence of buttons that are pushed (in what order?) so that connecting my headset doesn't drop the call?" I have a program button set up as #*11, as per the manual for my headset. However, when my call is connected and I press speaker/mute and then the headset program key, or when I press the headset program key first, either way, my call gets disconnected. Any thoughts of what I may be doing wrong? Thanks so much!
It will not work through phone lines....sm
I started on a Lanier at a hospital and then went home with it. At the hospital it was connected directly to the computer. I was told that you lose certain features through the phone lines and that is one of them.
It's a test in progress to measure what MTs know and what type of test to give for the SM
different levels of MTs. It's over $90. That's a lot of money to pay to someone who is giving these tests for research as to what type of testing should be done for the different levels of MT. The AAMT will probably take the results and make a test that they can give in India or the Phillipines or some other foreign country.
tuning fork test: Is it about a hearing test? .See inside
A whisper is about 20 dB
Loud music (some concerts) is around 80 to 120 dB
A jet engine is about 140 to 180 dB
Hope I could help
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.
Anyone work for co. who pays all phone costs? sm
Asked before, perhaps did not post. Anyone have a company who pays all phone costs, FTP, etc., I just want to either transcribe or edit,,, no added expenses, but they can absorb the cost for me. Sound crazy? You just never know.Doesn't hrt to ask
Could not get Magic Jack to work with C-phone
I tried it on two different accounts,and there was too much skipping or dead air to use it. I ended up sending back the Magic Jack before free trial was over. Our internet tends to run a little slow sometimes so it may depend on how reliably fast your connection is. But as I said, I tried on two accounts and it would not work well enough on either, so it was definitely my internet connection that was the problem.
The hospital where I work took down the no cell phone signs
last year. Apparently they aren't as much of a problem as they once were. Also, I was an inpatient last year and was allowed to use my cell phone in my room.
It seems like I was told that they have machines that block the phones from getting a signal in areas of the hospital where they may cause interference with equipment.
