Where? How much? What to look for?

Any help is great!

Hello--I am getting ready to graduate from MT school and am researching transcription equipment.  Can anybody give me some advice about which brands are the best?  I don't need a top of the line machine, but I definitely want something that works well and that I won't have to replace in a couple of months.  Also, while I'm researching all transcribers, I'm also very interested in digital transcribers.  Thank you!

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.

eBay comes to mind - and what the other poster said about contacting Lanier for a used one.  As I know it, a new one is about $600 (?), Lanier being the BEST transcriber around, JMHO

.......with ebay though you have to be very careful. 

You brought up some excellent points!  Since you have done both US and MT, you definitely would say that you prefer the MT over the unit secretary? 

Thanks for your input!!

that allows upload to FTP.  Without that, FTPVoyager is useless.  Make sure you buy handheld units that have the software capability to upload to FTP otherwise you'll be stuck.

If you find that handheld units with the upload software is out of your price range, consider the EZ-Voice solution.

Good luck!

HELP, PLEASE!!! I am currently an IC, which I have been for eight years, and I recently applied for a nursing unit secretary position at the local hospital.  I interviewed and who would have guessed it, they offered me the job.  The position is third shift, 7pm to 7am three nights a week.  I do have little kids to think of when considering this.  My ultimate goal is to go to nursing school and I am thinking that  working in the hospital will be good experience.  I don't know if it will be easier to go to nursing school while working as an MT or as a unit secretary.   I am having a hard time deciding what to do.  I don't know if I would be better off staying put even though I have no motivation to sit down and type or should I take this chance to do something new.  Like with any new job I am afraid that I won't like it but I don't particularly care for this current job.   What do you think would be the better move?  I know you can't make my decision for me but some input on what you would do in my situation would be helpful.  Any advice is truly appreciated. 

Thanks!!

Just wondering if anyone has a personal experience using a TENS unit they could share.  How long do you use yours for, if you find relief that you forgot you could have, etc.  As a chronic low back pain sufferer, I’m looking forward to getting mine on Tuesday! 

Thanks

MT Daily.  I sent her a money order for $500.  She sent me one email after she received the money order saying she had sent the Lanier and of course I never received it and she didn't answer my emails for a week.  Then she finally emailed again saying she had asked her daughter to send, but she hadn't and that she was going to ship the next day.  Still I didn't receive it.  At that point, she stopped answering my emails and eventually blocked me from being able to send me emails.  I had her mailing address and phone number.  Of course, she screened her calls and never answered the phone. 

One thing people should know about MT's, we do our homework.  I immediately researched what my legal options were and here is what I did:

1.  I contacted the adminstrator of the website on which the original classified add appeared.  They attempted to contact her to no avail.

2.  I contacted the police departments in both her city and mine and filed a fraud report.

3.  I then contacted the Attorney General's off in both her state and mine and immediately filed a report with each office.  I was told that the claim would be investigated, but more than likely nothing would not come of one complaint, BUT if they received more than one complaint regarding fraudulent practices by the same business or individual, then they could file charges. 

In the end, she made the mistake of forwarding one of those chain emails to everyone in her address book and mistakenly sent it to me.  So, I had the email addresses of her business associates, co-workers, employers, friends, family.  I promptly sent an email to everyone of them telling them exactly what she did to me and that they should be very careful in dealing with her.

I got several angry emails for people asking me not to include them in my email war.  I apologized to those people and took them of the mailing list.  However, three of the email contacts emailed me back and said they had bought stuff from her and never received the equipment.  And finally, I received a very angry email from the perpetrator's other daughter.  Apparently, her mother was freaked out about the fact that I had reported her to the police and the attorney general's office and I also let her know that I had made three other contacts ready to file with the attorney general's office which would probably get my case more notice.  The daughter Western Unioned me my money within 24 hours.

Casey, I say break out the big guns and start shooting.  That's what I did and it worked for me.  You probably have the person's mailing address, so you know where he/she lives or at least what city and state he/she lives in.  I wonder if we dealt with the same person?  Is this person from Texas?
