which plugs into a Dictaphone adapter which plugs into a USB port on my computer. To my knowledge, it cannot be used for anything else, but I could be wrong.
Good luck!

Transnet pedal question
Can the Transnet pedal used for the ExText platform be plugged into a 9-pin outlet on my computer??? Although I currently use a IN-USB-1 Infinity foot pedal that has 4 "square" pins, I may be getting an account that uses the Transnet pedal and my company told me they would supply it.
Foot pedal for Dictaphone Transnet
Can I use a USB foot pedal with Dictaphone Transnet. I was told it has to be the foot pedal with what looks like a phone cord used in conjunction with a USB adapter.
Weird Transnet pedal question
 I just got installed on ExText and Transnet today and, after a little trouble getting the pedal to work, finally got it going and transcribed a report. Then after finishing the report with Ctrl-N, the next report came up smoothly, but the pedal would not work. I did that one by starting and stopping with the mouse, then the next report again the pedal did not work.
So I logged out of ExText then back in again and lo and behold the pedal worked. Again, however, when I signed off, the next job came up with the pedal not controlling it.
I was curious to see if anyone else has ever had this problem. I've emailed my tech support person; it's not an emergency really as I can work (albeit slowly!) , but it sure is a strange problem!
If you can use a 15-pin foot pedal with an adapter with Transnet
Account says they use an IN-BMG (15-pin) foot pedal with a USB adapter. Can you also use a 9-pin with an adapter? Account manager wasn't sure. I really hate to buy another foot pedal for a new account if I don't have to. Does anyone at all know if this will work?
I was told since Dictaphone is Transnet only that foot pedal could be used
Like you, I already have 2 foot pedals - my desk floor is a maze of wires! Post if you find out differently, but again I was told had to be Dictaphone Transnet foot pedal.
Dictaphone Transnet foot pedal questions.
I'm going to be installing Dictaphone Extext program and accessing it through the Transnet part. I've tried figuring out whether I need a "special" Transnet foot pedal or not. Some earlier posts say yes and some say no, that they just use either a 9-pin or a 15-pin. So, I'm perplexed on what I currently have which is both of those and with which I also have USB adapters will work or if I need to order something from Dictaphone. Any help would be appreciated. I also wonder if possibly whether or not it works is due in part to your particular computer.

Foot pedal connection problem
Anybody have any ideas how to get my brand new USB foot pedal working that needs to be compatible with Voice Systems? It's not even showing up as being connected, and I know it's plugged into a working port! Need this ASAP...or like yesterday! LOL. Can't seem to find anyone who can help. What's this post about a foot pedal wizard? How do I find that? 
Foot Pedal Connection Problem
Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to make suggestions. I tried going into Express Scribe, but got a message saying "This Site Is Under Construction". As far as rebooting, I've had the foot pedal installed now for about 2 weeks, so yes, the PC has been rebooted numerous times, and I've tried every USB port on the PC, and I know for sure they're all working ports. I went to Control Panel and checked under Game Controls, and it's not there, either. I've tried 2 different links on Voice Systems' web site to contact them for help via e-mail, and both of those links came back as "mailer daemon", stating that there were "fatal errors". I don't know where to turn for help anymore! I can't work...obviously...if I can't get the pedal working!
OMG, I never made the connection but I think you're right - sugar = big line counts = $$$$$ Than
The pedal is attached to the C-phone.

C-phone foot pedal
I just purchased a C-phone and cannot get the foot pedal to work. I've tried using the code in the manual, but it is as if the C-phone doesn't recognize it and just "dials" the keys I've entered. I was able to program my headset just fine. Any suggestions?
C-phone foot pedal replacement
Thanks...I had made a crude connection myself with electrical tape years ago for a higher volume without the headset, but it didn't work too well. The one from Radio Shack may work much better. I'm sure the sound recorder would have shortcut keys for fast-forward and rewind, but I'm not sure where to find sound recorder on Windows Professional. I'll try to find it now and make a shortcut on the desktop. Thanks again!
C phone foot pedal is not working??
Any suggestions or is it just bad wiring???? Thanks so much.
Using a DVI system C phone. How do I get my foot pedal... sm
to automatically back up a bit? The instructions I have for my DVI are very limited and I can find nothing with regards to automatic backup. There is no phone number (got this phone long time ago) to contact for help. Was hoping someone here could help. Thanks!
C-phone comes with it's own foot pedal and pluges
into the left side of it. Not a standard plug, ether.
Need some help with Dictaphone C-phone programming the foot pedal..... sm
I have a coworker that needs to program her Dictaphone foot pedal. The foot pedal does not stop or start the dictation from what I understand. It is a used unit with no manual. I had a C-phone years ago but do not ever remember having to program my pedal. Thanks in advance!
My foot pedal is button #15 on the C-phone, I think it depends on what your co. has programmed. nm

a phone/transcription unit with foot pedal and earphone...
dials to hospital dictation system for reports to transcribe.
If Google it - might find a picture of one.
Try putting phone book next to pedal so your foot is flat and not angled on heel. NM

C-phone and phone line
I have cable for my Internet so I have my C-phone on my regular home phone line and forward my home phone number to my cell phone.
Converting C-Phone to keyboard versus foot pedal rewinding and fast-forwarding
Hi there:
I have some as-yet-undiagnosed neuropathy that began with my eighth injection of inteferon for hepatitis C. I initially had severe numbness from the waist down (felt like tourniquets on my legs) that is now controlled somewhat with high-dose Neurontin, but now I have moderate to severe pain in the lower back and buttocks if I sit for very long. I'm on a mild narcotic/analgesic, but I still have pain and discomfort long before it is time to take the next dose. I'm currently only earning about 60-80% of my normal income.
My question is this: Does anyone out there know of a way to convert the foot pedal functions of the C-phone to a keyboard, other than having an integrated system, which the hospital I work for does not have?
There must be some way for handicapped people, like those in a wheelchair, to do medical transcription without the use of a foot pedal, but my guess is that you would have to do away with the Dictaphone dication system completely, which I doubt my employer would do unless I threatened some sort of legal action.

Phone line
With the only company I worked for to dial in, I paid for the phone line. They even requested that we have two phone lines, so that they could call us, if needed, while we were working. This was not a requirement, however. I had a second line put in anyway, so that I could get personal calls while I was working. I was an employee at the time. They did, however, provide an 800 number so that it was not long distance. When they stopped doing that I moved my office to my mom's, where it was not long distance, but I paid for the line here. I considered it a trade off to not have to drive the 35 miles one-way to work in-house. I did have full benefits with that company. I am an IC with the company I am with now, and I pay for the phone line and the DSL. I provide the computer, and the company provides the software, and I have no benefits. If your employees continue to have the same benefits that they had inhouse, they probably would not mind paying for the phone line, but I am sure they would appreciate it, if you can afford to take care of that.
Phone line help, please if possible
I hope I don't confuse anybody but here goes.
Back in 1988, I had 4 phone lines installed in my home. 1 is personal, 1 for my dial up modem (also personal), a business line, and an 800 number which the phone company tied to another personal phone number-I'll call this number 123-4567. (This was the only way the phone company could do it at the time).
As it stands now, I get a bill for the 800 service through Sprint, an 800 bill through MCI for the calls I recieve, and a bill through MCI Small Business for the office phone and 123-4567. I also get a bill from Verizon for the 123-4567 number (I think that's the one) that is a minimum $5 charge a month. I'm really getting triple billed for 1 line.
As of Jan., I want to disconnect my 800 number, my office phone line, and my modem line, but leave the 123-4567 line for my doc. MCI told me I can't disconnect my office line without disconnecting the 123-4567 number.
Am I supposed to wipe the slate clean and go without any phone service then get new service with somebody? It's been so long since I had to deal with something like this and I'm so confused. 
Can anbody make any sense out of this? TIA.
Is it your phone line?
Sounds like a problem with your phone line. What type of long distance are you using?
Look up your C-phone on line....

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 ???
Dont need phone line?
I have DSL but I have to be plugged into the phone line. Do you mean you can have DSL through the phone company but just use it for internet and not a phone line? Sorry if I sound stupid but my area just got DSL. Im in a rural area and we were still using dial up until a few months ago. My company, however, does pay for the internet connection $30.00/month.
and not the phone line to your house
We had a war with Earthlink over this. It was their responsibility to contact Bell South about the problem, but they said it was our responsibility (we have a DSL line). We finally dropped them and went right to Bell South. Everything was fine for a while and then the problems returned. The service tech played a hunch and checked the underground wiring in a hub(some green box about a block away) and that was problem. He took care of the wiring and the problem has never returned.
Do you have a phone line connected? sm
When I first got DSL, I couldn't fax, either. I discovered that I needed to have an adapter that plugs the phone line to the computer. It's a little box that has two jacks and the DSL line is connected to it and then you run a separate line from it to your computer and then you can use the fax utility. I will see if I can find what that adapter is called as I forget right at the moment!
Is C-phone for land-line only?
Won't pretend I understand VOIP but I know its available with my broadband.
VOIP as second phone line
Is it possible to use VOIP as an extra phone line instead of investing in a second land phone line? I'm going to be working at my mom's a couple days a week. She has one phone line and DSL. At my house I only have dial-up. I have an account that requires two phone lines with no DSL, one for dictaphone, one for Meditech. I really hate to ask her to pay for another land phone line and was wondering if I could use VOIP. Thanks for any input.
what would the second phone line be for? (Sorry, my message got cut off before)...
basic PC/phone line
Windstream (Houston area) charges about $16 a month for just a basic, no-frills line. That's why I hoped to hear if anyone else had any luck with MagicJack. I got one, but something just isn't working right. May be an OE (operator error), tho!
2nd phone line question
Unnamed national MT co told me when hired that I would be reimbursed for a 2nd line and that the line could be a cell phone.
I am hooked up to internet with Comcast (42.95). I are being asked in an e-mail if I had a 2nd phone line - Yes or No answer only - and I am unsure what to type.
When I did have 2nd phone line when hired, it was incapable of being used on my account (tooo slowwwwww) so I had it disconnected and got a cell phone.
Thanks!
How to re-record off phone line?
Does anyone know how to re-record transcription off a phone line? TIA
Dedicated phone line is what I was afraid of...
I just spoke with Time Warner and they do not allow you to have two separate phone numbers. Right now all the phone jacks in my house are wired through TW, so I can't even go through Fair Point for one dedicated phone line. Has anybody else had this problem and what have you done? Any ideas other than give up on this job because I don't really want to do that as everything with this company "fits" and the account would be perfect for me.
Lanier & digital phone line
Does anyone use a Lanier with a digital phone line (not VOIP)? Anything else required to make this work?
thx.
WAV files are better. No dialing in. No tying up your phone line.
Sound quality is good.
for those running on cable with no regular phone line,
do you still unplug everything and quit working in a thunderstorm with lightening. It's the middle of March, and we're having one heck of a storm here in western NY. I'm thinking of braving this one and keeping working. What would you do?
Internet service without land-line phone
I recently looked into this subject myself. If you have Verizon available in your area, you can purchase a plan at about $55.00 per month with a two-year contract. You will receive a card that you can insert into your laptop, which will provide you with unlimited Internet access at the speed of DSL. As far as I know, there are no other cell service providers that have come up with this type of card yet, but I'm sure it's bound to happen in the future. Another option is to purchase a satellite telephone and phone cards as you go along, but the cards are really outrageous in price. One last thing that I would suggest is that you phone cell providers in your area to see if they have any technical gadgets you could attach to the cell phone for Internet access. Many of the satellite phone companies have separate packages you can buy, which can be attached to laptops or PDAs. I also have a TracPhone, so I know it does not come with hardware that will do the trick.
Good luck to you in setting everything up. With the way that technology is moving, I'm sure there must be a way to accomplish what you want.
Wireless router with your home phone line?
Is it possible to use a wireless router and your home dial up phone line so that you can be mobile around your house with a laptop?
Thanks
If you have a cell phone, why not use that for your LD calls and CX the LD on the land line?
.
so, you have dial up for internet? plugged into your phone line.
and your foot pedal has a phone line plug too? Thats odd, cuz normally it would be a USB plug. but yes, you can by an outlet to install, i had to do the same thing a long time ago on a different computer. it was called something like an eathernet adapter....you should be able to take the foot pedal to radio shack adn they will give you exactly what you need.
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?
Love wav files. No extra phone line needed,
no LD charges, and love being able to sit on my porch on a nice day and work.
I need a ground line if cable goes out so does your phone and if you contact MCI they will give you
with long distance costing 07. cents a minute if you have to. Just use your long distance after 9 pm using ur cell which is free and on weekends. This MCI plan is 26. & taxes about 28. a month. This way MCI gives u the ability to call long distance during the week if you absolutely have to but for .07 cents a minute. Better to have a phone than no phone. Just a thought!
Sound is usually good. Separate line is better if you don't want to tie up your main phone all
s
I've been screwed over by the big phone companies too, but once you switch to a business line,
a lot more options are opened up to you. Talk America has an unlimited long distance business line for $49.95. I've been with them for over a year now. I also tried calling cards, which are an even bigger rip off.
