Where? How much? What to look for?
Any help is great!
Transcriber--which is best?
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!
DA-128 transcriber
Does anyone know what button gets the demographics to play. I haved tried them all and am ready to give it a heave. No info on the net anywhere other than the price of the thing. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Suppose to be starting a new job and can't get the demographics to play. Thanks in advance.
OM's transcriber
headset is all I ever use. The brand is Panasonic RP-EP110 microcassette transcriber headset. Just go to Officemax.com and you can find them under "transcribers".
Do you have a tape transcriber, or does it have to be
voice files? I have some practice dictation minicassette tapes here that I'd be willing to send you. As for the voice files, you could try Google searching. I typed in "medical transcription" practice sound files download but don't really have time to search through the results. I don't even know if there's anything out there.
transcriber sticking
My Pearlcorder T1000 is skipping every 2 seconds, both in play and rewind. tried cleaning inside with alcohol. any other ideas? TU
Ever heard of this transcriber?
Has anyone ever used/heard of a Digital Voice Model DVI-115 work station C-phone? It was just shipped to me for a new acct I am starting and I have looked and looked on the web and can't find a manual. Can't really even seem to find this machine anywhere. Thanks
software and transcriber
1. Has anyone used the Instant Text V Pro software?
2. I want to purchase a digital transcriber. Does anyone have a favorite to recommend?
Lanier transcriber - the best!.....nm
Cheaper to buy transcriber?
If he is doing tapes it might be cheaper to go on E-Bay and buy a transcriber than everything that is needed to transfer over to digitial files as well as the time it will take. If he does micro tapes you can pick up an Olympus Pearlcorder for under $75 on E-Bay and I have always had good luck.
I use a Lanier transcriber but the MDs I think
Need transcriber unit
You need a transcribing unit that has a pedal that comes with it. Your digital pedal will not work. Depends on size of tape -- micro, mini or standard.
All N One Wave Transcriber
Thanks for the advice. After using the 30-day free trial I found on a web site I've decided to stick with Digital Voice Editor (FS85USB). I don't like the pedal nearly as much but I guess I can live with it because the software is excellent. The All N One is okay, the other is just better. Thanks though. I appreciate it.
My current transcriber I bought from
this site. It appeared brand new, and I paid about half of what a new one costs at an office supply store. I'm sure they are available on e-bay as well. Mine is a Panasonic minicassette, which is my brand of choice (more control over the dictation than some of the others I've tried), although I've seen it posted more than once on this site that Lanier is the best, but way more expensive.
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.
What is the best micro-cassette transcriber? SM
Believe it or not, some docs still use tapes. I have a Sony transcriber but the tape fades in and out. If I let off the foot pedal and then play again, the tape will get louder and clear and then gradually fade again. It's really annoying and I'm thinking it's the transcriber. Is there a machine out there that will play a tape with more clarity and consistency?
I have a Panasonic transcriber, if you need one. Send
me an email if you are interested in purchasing it. Includes foot pedal.
Any opinions on All N One Wave Transcriber?
I am looking for a new transcriber software kit. The All N One Wave Transcriber by Martel Electronics looks good but they don't have a free trial download. I don't want to buy without knowing anything about it. I need something that I can see all the files that have been downloaded to me and that I can listen to and name file by file. I have a doctor that many times does not complete the dictation in one sitting - may continue it days later. I need to be able to search through files to see if I have the continuations or not. Most, from what I have found, don't have this option. I have Sony's Digital Voice Editor and love it but really dislike the pedal so am trying to find something similar in another software. Does anyone out there have experience with this software and pedal (All N One)? Thanks in advance for any advice.
FYI, did you know that a transcriber is a machine and a transcriptionist is a person?
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.
AC adapter for D-Light digital transcriber?
I have an old D-Light machine that I need to put back into use. Have misplaced the AC adapter. Does anyone know what type of AC adapter it uses?
Thanks!
I use a Lanier transcriber - they cost TONS
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.
Sony M2000 transcriber question
Just bought a Sony M2000 microcassette transcriber from Goodwill for $6.99 with all accessories. (buy of the year!!) Can someone tell me how to erase tapes? I currently use a Panasonic, so I'm not quite sure how it works. I'm sure the answer is right in front of my eyes. Thanks alot!!
Just looking for a piece of the pie.

try the ear piece...
I have never had that problem...but there are a number of different ear pieces that would probably work just as well. I am referring to the ear buds or the ear pieces that you put on/in your ear. When I use to work at a local hospital we would have the ear pieces that you put in your ears like ear plugs...I of course hated those though but they are there....just food for thought.
that piece a little further down
about belarc..reads like some kind of magazine article. It's not what she's saying, it's how she's saying it. It's kind of preachy. There are plenty of people on this board who know more than I do about all kinds of things, but they don't have the attitude.
& I don't think it's great advice to discount something on someone else's behalf without knowing everything about her situation. Who knows? It might work for OP.
Piece of my Heart
When I'm stressed I get to let it all out with that song. lol
I did look at your piece of research
and I am not seeing it. I don't think that all MTs will be out of work. There will be demand for editors, etc. I will stay in the field until I am told they don't need me anymore.
piece of cake?
Decided to try transcription after I tired of nursing (management). Thought it would be a snap. Suffice it to say that a good MT has a broader knowledge base than a registered nurse.
You are a piece of work.
Just not a worker.
LOL I did all of the above as well, but she is still a piece of work! sm
Actually, she was not rude to me much until one day I was talking to her on the phone about a concern with one of my accounts, and she had me on speaker phone and proceeded to YELL at me out of nowhere. It was very odd. They begged me not to quit, but I couldn't stand all of the weirdness. The platform seemed archaic to me, but they have changed that, right? The IT is an odd bird, isn't he? We got a kick out of him. No one wanted to have to ask him anything! :-)
Piece of Cake....
I made the transition from doing multispecialty clinic and acute care transcription to Radiology about five years ago, and it was one of the easiest transitions I've ever made. Just have a couple of good radiology reference books and I don't think you'll have any problem at all. The cpl sounds very good, too.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me. I attempted to email you a couple of good reference materials, but the email came back as undeliverable.
Good luck 
Forgot to Add - QA also gets a piece of the pie now. nm

Well that's a nice piece of news then!!! THANK YOU
..
I do not work for MQ, but another piece of -- company. SM
The platform has its own line counter. When I went to see how many lines I did the other day, I had a huge number of lines. I almost fell off the chair. I made sure the total was for that day alone and there were lines of 1500, after four hours of work.
I did this twice and came up with same total. Third time, however, I got the correct total, which was exactly half that amount. I found this strange. That's all. Strange.
Did you give him a piece of your mind yet?
Seriously - and check into the whole legality of it all too!
I had one too!! a 1979 piece of junk.
And if that wasn't bad enough it was chocolate brown.
My blinker knob fell off and I had to shove a pair of tweezers in there to work the blinkers. I couldn't wear heels or they'd get wedged in the holes in the floor board and one tire had a big bubble in it.
I can't believe I even dared drive that thing.
Was a piece of junk..but my favorite.
It was a 1980 Chevette (or as we called it..the Shove It) lol. When I got it, it was already falling apart, but I didn't care, I was 17 and had wheels. It had NO power steering, NO power brakes, NO air, NO power at all. The seat was falling through the bottom, so when you drove, your body was tilted to the left. The horn didn't BEEP, it MOOed (not kidding). The speakers were blown so my brother wired a speaker through the front and sat it in the console...lol. Like I said it was piece of junk but was a lot of fun to drive around and I could fill it up with about $8.00. A few years later when I was working I bought a Geo Storm and I loved that car. It was actually a very nice car..but nothing tops the "Shove It."
I think you, like me, thought this would be a piece of cake
I had worked in hospital settings, doctor offices, etc. and when I started training (on the job for a year) I kept my nose in dictionaries, English and medical. Just because you have any background in something medically related does not mean you can be a transcriptionist. I trained for a year and before I was able to have production, had to have less than 3 errors (either English or medical) on each page and yet type 75 minutes of dictation a day- sorry but so long ago do not know now how much that was but quite a bit. I think you have probably gotten in over your head with no training per se and having said that yes I most certainly think you should do at least 1200 per day- you need speed as well as training to make a go of this. People who say no background should consider themselves very lucky to have made it.
I agree....some piece of work....sm
The children today (NOT Generation X as they were products of the 1980s)......have enough to be frightened over in this world that has changed dramatically....we, as parents, don't have to make them more scared and more scared. Parenting is an art - there are lots of free classes in early childhood development or PET (parent effectiveness training) which I took when my child was 4. It was also taught by a psychologist with a degree. There are sooooo many good positive ways to raise children where one doesn't have to *resort* to *submission* and still get super positive results.
There are also obedience schools for learning how to raise animals.....the poster should check into these things.....
Pedophiles always use *scared into submission* when they are about to steal a child and do nasty things.....TO THE POSTER WHO BELIEVES IN *SCARED INTO SUBMISSION* - you keep on doing this to your children, and maybe some perpetrator will also play on that reaction your children now have from being *scared into submission*....HEAVEN FORBID! But when you make a child scared into submission, they then tend to be scared into submission by any ADULT.
Check yourself on this one......
I, like you, thought it would be a piece of cake
And I trained hard for a year even though other hospital work, clinics, etc. I have been at it for years now, also.
Radiology is a piece of cake
and you can get great line rates. One person's experience is not anothers...
You are a piece of work. To talk about God &

He sounds like a piece of work - sm
I'd tell the wife, sure go ahead find someone else who will put up with all this garbage. I would give them a new updated fee schedule, effective immediately, up your page rate, a flat fee per page, none of this half/third stuff, and start charging for your time for the loading and converting of files. If it takes an hour, charge $20. That is something his people there should be doing, not you. As for the corrections, again his people should be doing that, not you. As you said, everyone makes mistakes. Regarding the doctors names, keep a notebook or something with the correct spellings that you can refer to. I use a small address/phone book and put them in under A, B, C, etc. So when my doctors say referring doc, I just whip open my book and saves me a lot of time from looking it up on the internet. If I cannot find a doctor name/address I simply let the office know that they have to fill that in since I could not find it. ---But this guy sounds like a real skinflint, so I would up the rates as above, if they don't like it then I guess they can just go and find out the hard way that they had quite a deal with you.
IMHO outsoursing is only one piece of this pie. (nm)

Forgot one other important piece of information - sm
Tater's mother and grandmother both have a very long history of mental illness and the grandmother has been institutionalized several times. The mother has lied and continues to lie about fabricated life-threatening illnesses and other fantastic situations that no one person could EVER deal with in their lives.
In the newborn phase, piece of cake (sm)
It's when they get mobile is when the going gets tough. I had to have my sister babysit while I had some serious deadlines to hit. I couldn't do it with a mobile toddler running around. Sometimes I tried to split my shift and working some through the night, but that didn't last long because I needed sleep and very well couldn't sleep with a baby in the house, during the daytime, that is.
Question on moving 1 piece of furniture
I now live in Florida and have a 75-pound chest of drawers that belonged to my mother in the Midwest. I want to bring it down here, but I don't have a truck and my car is a compact, cannot two anything with it.
Does anyone have experience with this type of a small move? Would it be better to have it packaged and sent via a service like DHL or somebody? I would rather not entrust it to a moving van company.
Thanks for any suggestions.
P.S. Just like your type to cite an Op/Ed piece as news
