Question about Cphone headset?

Posted By: MT mom of 3 on 2008-04-20
In Reply to:

I have the stethoscope style #AL-60DP but where the wire hooks to the stethoscope part it won't stay together and I could barely hear out of them.  Is there something I'm not doing right or are they broke?  Thanks!

Cphone
Is this phone still available? My daughter needs one. Are there any others out there today?
cphone
All four that I have owned I have used the end button on the left side, bottom row, for headphones.  I hit speaker,  dial in, and when it connects I just hit that button and it goes to headphones and it no longer is audible from the speaker.  Maybe they were all preprogrammed, but they all worked the same. 
Cphone
I had worked using a CPhone for my first 5 years in this field. When i went to work for a national i was nothing but confused. There are several posted on the classified board here for under 200... And they go for a lot more than that new. It is an adjustment no matter what new thing u are trying to get used to.. The biggest thing is that the headphones .. The ones you use for the PC won’t work as the headset port is a two-pin thing...
Cphone
It is a dictaphone unit.  It also doubles as a telephone.  Kinda bulky and ugly, but works great.  You use it like a phone, to dial into the dictation line, and retrieve dictation from accounts who are not accessed through the net lines.  It has attached ear phones, or in my case, ear buds.  Good luck!

Actually the person who trained me told me to do this.  Thanks for your help.
Dictaphone Cphone SOS
Has anyone ever locked up a C-phone accidentally and now requires a security code which I do not have nor does the owner of the machine to do anything. I am at standstill.  Any advice appreciated.
Need to purchase cphone
Help!  I am trying to get started transcribing at home and I have work to do but I need advice on what type of transcribing phone to purchase.  I have been instructed by my current employer to by a cphone that dials into an automated system to retreive my work.  Please, any advice or if anyone has one for sale.  The cheaper the better or I will buy used.  Thanks.
can anyone explain to me what a cphone is?
I've only ever worked for MQ and I have no idea what a C-phone is. Is it a piece of equipment or software or both?
Cphone questions
I am supposed to be starting an acct that uses a Cphone and am wondering how this works.  To those who use a Cphone how does this differ from signing in and transcribing via online?  Also I'm wondering about if you are able to reject a dictated job on cphone if it is a dictator you can't transcribe?  On the acct I'm on now there is a doctor I simply can not transcribe no matter how hard I try and no matter how long I try so I can just reject his dictation and it goes back into the system for someone else and I'm wondering if the same thing will work with Cphone?  Thanks, Wanda

SOS-familiar w/Cphone DA-127D?

  


    It's crunch time - I am using TranscriptionGear Model DA-127D for first time (replacement after demise of Dictaphone C-phone) and do not have instruction manual.  I've navigated through a report and need help with the following:  Everytime I take my foot off the pedal, I get the recorded "To sign off you must be at the end of the report."    Then, when I actually got to the end of the report, it signed off automatically with the foot pedal.    I must sign reports off manually on this acct.     Any help would be greatly appreciated.  TIA.


Cphone and foot pedal
Actually, my foot pedal plugs into the C-phone, not the computer, but all this junk is very confusing, isn't it?

Question for Lanier/Cphone users...please...

I have a Lanier LX219 that I just hooked up. I have it all programmed (I believe) correctly. I am having a problem with the pedal though. I can play the dictation but I cannot for the life of me figure out the rewind or fast forward on the pedal. It just beeps at me. Do I have something programmed wrong? Does anyone know what I have done wrong? Thanks for any advice.

Need help with headset
My headphones are louder on one side than the other. I have tried different headphones, so I know it has to be the computer. Any ideas on how to change that? TIA!
actually it could be the headset as I have had this
happen before.  If the wiring in the headset gets messed up for some reason it can cause this.   Have you tried more than 1 headset? 
Headset
Hello, For excellent sound quality I would suggest the SPUSB headset which can be found on our website at www.tvps.com.
also....about the headset
I quit playing CDs on my computer because it was such a hassle to swap out the headset for the computer speakers. I had to pull the computer away from the wall and bend and stretch as far as I could and then use a flashlight to find the hole to change change them. Plus, I had very little slack in the headset because my hard drive sits on the floor. I solved 2 problems at once: I went to Radio Shack and bought an 6-foot extender for 7 bucks. One end fits into the back of the computer, and the headset attaches to the other end. Now I can even leave my headset on when I stand up at my desk to reach the very top shelf to reach some of my more obselete references. In addition, I just swap the headset cord for the speaker cord to play CDs. Makes me a happy camper for sure!

Please help... need to know where to buy a new headset as I lost the paperwork for this pair.. my ears are killing me!!!!  Help!!!


Headset
I have tried so many, and I think the absolute best headset is made by Lanier Healthcare.  They have been purchased by Medquist, and you can either go online or call 1-866-542-7253 to order one.  The clarity is wonderful and they are very comfortable.
Headset for MT
I have tried a few different brands, but out of all of them my Koss DC/10 is the best. Good quality sound, light and easy on my ears for comfort.
OM headset
Thanks for the help. I had tried transcriptiongear.com but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. If I can't get that particular one from OM I'll call customer support at transcriptiongear and talk to them. Thanks again!
headset....
Do you use an 'adapter' to connect your footpedal to the modem port? Sometimes this minimizes the volume.

You might try to install to install a soundblaster
headset

Did you try transcriptiongear.com


or Google lanier headsets


 


Headset adapter
I have a stethoscope style Dictaphone headset with a dual-prong plug in.  I no longer need to use my C-phone, but love my headset, so I am looking for an adapter to make the dual-prong a standard single-prong plug in.  Dictaphone of course does not sell such a thing.  Does anyone have one and if so, where did you get it from?  Thanks!! :)
Looking to replace my headset.
I'd like to hear what everyone prefers for these.  I've tried all kinds but am not sure what I think are the "best."  I want good sound quality whether it's from my computer or C-phone and will be using them for both (unless I should have 2 different kinds).  At any rate, I'm curious what you all use or what you think are the absolute best.  Thanks.
Lanier Headset

Does anyone know where I can get a good price on a Lanier Stethoscope style headset (metal) - LX-10-35???   I have found these for $70, but maybe you might know of a better deal.   THANKS....


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.
Best place to buy headset

dictaphone headset
First hit top row keys, left(program), left again (keys), then select the key you wish to use from whatever is available.

Hit keys in this order: pound key (#); star key (*); 1; and 1.

Then hit the multiplication key (x) on the right, then the stop key at the bottom. I hope these instructions are clear enough.


I have never replaced my headset -

When I worked in someone else's office, rarely but occasionally a headset would/might break.  However, since being at home doing same work 10 years, I have never had to replace my headset (the one that came with a transcriber years ago); however, I have had to replace several transcribers over the MANY, MANY years and think I'm on my 3rd one now......finally got a Lanier (they are the best in my opinion for transcriber machines).



You would use the code *11 for the headset

Koss DC-10 Headset
Do any of you use the Koss DC-10 headset?  How is it?  I need to replace my headset and I want to invest in a good new one.  Can you tell me . . . are the ear inserts foam or a plastic-type material?  It is difficult to tell by the picture on the web-site I have looked at.   I perfer the plastic insert to foam.  :-) I think they last much longer and seem to block out the outside noise.  Your opinions please! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
New to WAV files. How do I use a headset..sm
and still be able to use my speakers?  I can hook a headset up to the back of my computer but it means disconnecting the speaker wire that goes to my speakers.  Is there some kind of splitter or connector or certain type headset or something I can use? 
speakers/headset
I have an extension i bought at radio shack and plug/unplug speakers/headset - makes it easier than getting to the rear of the computer. I've never seen a splitter - it would make sense!
Headset - what do you wear?
I just can't seem to find anything that I really like.  I want good sound quality (of course), not bulky, comfortable.  What do you like?
headset question
I hope this does not sound dumb, but does anyone know if there are headsets now that block out the background noise coming from the recording of the dictator?  I know there is BOS that takes care of surrounding noise of our environment but was wondering about the other.  Thank you. 
C-Phone Headset

Try re-programming it using one of the black buttons above the number pad.  I do not use the speaker/mute button for my headset but programmed it using the first black button at the top of the row on the left-hand side.  Try that and it should work without disconnecting you every time.  Hope that makes sense

HEADSET PROGRAMMING

Hit the program key at the top then keys, then pick the key you want then the code is #*11 then hit the select key and then stop key....good luck, I had this problem as well and do every now and then when I unplug my equipment.


stethoscope headset
I've purchased them on ebay from Universal Audio Visual, Inc., out of East Orleans, MA, and have been very happy with the price, quality and speedy service.
dictaphone headset help
i usually work online with everything.  i'm filling in using a c-phone for a friend.  i can't get the headset to work.  it's just speaker phone and nothing else.  seems like i remember having to program my old one.  anyone know?
I need headset sound help....SM

The older I get the worse my hearing.  I think it's all the years with headset jammed into my ears.   I am working on an account with very low volume and techs cannot do anything about it.


Does anyone use headset with in-line volume control and does it work?  I found a set on ebay - $30.00 plus shipping.  But hate to order unless it works.  Help!!


Spectra Headset
Anyone use the Spectra Headset with the USB connection.  Ratings?
Good headset
Need to invest in a headset that blocks out noise in the room around me. Am using one of the "Lanier" type headsets, which has always served me well, but find that I can't seem to hear well enough on the the account I am on (particularly with some docs). There isn't that much noise around me, but I had seen some posts somewhere about a better quality, heavy-duty one. Can anybody point me in a direction?
Headset volume

I don't know what version you have, but with mine I do this with my "mumblers"...


In Express Scribe:


Go to File, then Special Audio Processes, and then Extra Volume Boost.


It will load and only takes a few seconds.  I think you may have to do that for each file or you may have to do it again if you close out Express Scribe; haven't figured that out yet.


Hope this helps.... 


headset question

I guess we're all going through the same thing.  I also asked the same question with a couple of responses.  Is there really a good headset out there that will sound somewhat decent with my speakers ?  This is just nuts, it sounds like my docs are dictating in the bottom of a tin can.


Thanx
