Dictaphone headset adapter
Dictation Warehouse has an adapter for the Dictaphone double-pronged headset wire. I bought one not too long ago.
Bought some Dictaphone headgear, need adapter for computer
not realizing on the end it has 2 little points- what I need to know - needing to hook into the front of my computer for editing and does anyone know of an adapter that I could buy that would fit this and where to get? Thanks.
This would be just a "regular" 3-pedal pedal and not the Dictaphone pedal. nm

foot pedal w/adapter help
I bought a USB adapter for my foot pedal that was a 15 pin serial because that port was in use. I cannot get it configured. I used Express scribe help, installed the gameport 2 axel/4 button one. Attempted to use the foot pedal wizard with Expresscribe. The adapter did not come with drivers, but I got some off the internet. My computer says the the device is working. What am I missing here?
You can use your pedal....but you need the dictahone adapter
I used to work with Dictaphone's TransNet and I had a regular wav pedal but I needed the Dictaphone adapter to get my pedal to play.
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?
Your company should supply you the pedal or the adapter. I've

Escription users- Belkin USB adapter for foot pedal problems
Hey, as most of you know, we're stuck using the old 9-pin foot pedal. Well, I bought the Belkin adapter and set it to the ports as Escription's web site instructed, and at first, it was working when I hit the foot pedal. I heard it, and then my mouse stopped and everything froze. It did this twice to where I just had ot turn off my computer. Anyone else have this problem, and if so, what did you do. It was frustrating to get to that one, have sound..everything...and then froze up the computer completely. Thanks

Dictaphone foot pedal with medquist
Does anyone know if Dictaphone DictaMatic foot control will work with DocQscribe? I can't get it to work. Do I need to buy a VEC?
Dictaphone has a dedicated foot pedal
that only "works" with Dictaphone software (Transnet, extext) - others can be universal (i.e. - plays all the other files). I have 3 - 1 for Transnet, 1 for regular voice files and 1 for microcassette recorder - my foot space is a mess!
Dictaphone foot pedal question..sm
I will be working on Dictaphone platform and the company sent me the foot pedal for it. However, the cord for it is basically like a phone cord but my internet cable is taking up the spot where I would plug in my foot pedal to the back of my computer. Is there an adapter I can use for this?
Thanks
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.
Which head set to be used with Dictaphone foot pedal??
I know you have to have an adapter to use the Dictaphone foot pedal and software, but do you need a special head set or will any head set work? Thanks!
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.
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!
Dictaphone also makes it's own little fan-shaped pedal to be used with ExText/

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.
I have a Dictaphone Transnet foot pedal for sale on the classifieds board
If you know anyone who is looking for one, please tell them about it.
I have a two way adapter that is plugged into the phone line. One goes from the adapter into the
router provided by the DSL company and the other goes from the adapter directly into the phone that I have connected. The phone needs to be connected so I can re-record (which still works for me thankfully). I was wondering if I unplug the phone line and plug that into the back of my computer if that would work but then I would have to have work call before faxing and change the hookup after which would be a royal pain. If you can give me another way to hook this up it would make my life so much easier. Thanks.
I hated it - but if you do go ahead with it, I have the proprietary foot pedal you'll need that I

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

You can buy just the Start/Stop software w/o the pedal if you're able to use your pedal as a VEC

Bringing up ExpressScribe pedal question again. Does anyone have 9-pin Infinity pedal on a USB?
tia
It'll be the most expensive magazine subscription you'll ever get! No point in joining. nm

Is there ONE pedal I can buy that will work with ALL platforms? And where do I shop for a pedal?
.
A wave pedal is a foot pedal that connects to either
serial port, game port, or USB depending on the software needed with it. You have to download the work via the internet and most companies still require high-speed internet, though some allow dial-up or satellite. A pedal costs about $70, though can find on e-bay cheaper. You can download ExpressScribe for free to use with the foot pedal unless the company requires a different software program.
I'll go! I'll go!! I won't take hormones and will be ready to defend your honor :) n/m

No. It'll be the most expensive magazine subscription you'll ever get, and it's unnecessary

Adapter
I have seen them for sale on e-bay. They are fairly inexpensive. Do search under dictaphone.
adapter
I bought an adapter at Radio Shack which converts my foot pedal to a USB port - it is actually called a game port. It was relatively inexpensive - under 10 bucks.
Adapter
Where did you get your adaptor? Do you know what it is called? Would Radio Shack have it?
Thanks.
that is your USB adapter....
plug it into your USB port.
ps2 adapter to USB? is there
such a thing, so i could plug my external keyboard into a laptop? and then would it work correctly? Cannot find it using the search, but thought i saw once someone said their keyboard wouldn't work right with one? thanks.
I use a Y adapter
Most keyboards now days come with an adapter in the box, but I have found they are of very poor quality. I use a PS2 Y-adapter, which allows you to plug a PS2 mouse in as well if you have one. I just use it for my keyboard, and leave the mouse tail empty. I have a HP laptop and have had no problems with this. I know Radio Shack carries these adapters and if you have an office supply store such as Staples, Office Max, or Office Depot around, they will have them too. Good Luck.
You need to get a PS2 to USB adapter. sm
I bought one that has converts 2 PS2 (keyboard and mouse)to USB.
Anyone know where to get an adapter for
c-phone headset so I can use my own earphones besides TVPS/Executive Communications?
I checked Transcription Gear and didn't see anything. I've googled and only checked a couple of pages but TVPS was all I could find and I prefer to buy from someone else.
No some only have 1, but you can buy an adapter - sm
of sorts that plugs into your one USB and make it 2 or 4, whatever size you get, sort of like an electric power strip for more plugs. Your local Radio Shack would probably have it. I think my old Gateway only had 1, but my new computers each have 4, and my old laptop has only 1 but my new one has 2. I just got a USB 2.0 - 4 port hub for my laptop recently as I am having power issues with my USB ports on it. It is powered by electricity and give my laptop's USB more power since it is using external power to power the USB port. This "adapter" that I am using is different than what I mention above. It is more expensive (I only paid $20 but can go up to $80); and this powered port has 4 USB ports to it, so it gives me additional ports if I need them.
Adapter
I checked the port after I read your message and it is not even a serial port. It loked like it because I saw the type of pin that a serial port has. I do not even have a serial port on my new computer so it looks like I am going to have to bite the bullet and get a USB foot pedal and fork out the money. Thanks all who responded.
adapter
Sorry I can't help with locating a pedal, my company provided mine. As far as the adapter, I would avoid it. The one I had caused a delay and I would have to hit the pedal 4-5 times each time I paused and wanted to start playing again.
Adapter for the 9-pin
I bought a laptop only to find that it does not have the 9-pin serial port. Apparently very few do these days as the serial port is obsolete according to some computer people I spoke to....so..I went on the search for an adapter for USB. I tried at least 4 that did not work including Radio Shack, Gear something or another, Belkin etc. Finally, I found a Dynex DB9 adapter at Best Buy for like $35 and it works like a champ. No issues or problems. The Belkin never worked at all and the Radio Shack one did just what the other person who replied said. It's worth a shot.
USB adapter
USB adapter is serial on one end, USB on the other. Plug foot pedal into the serial side, and the USB side goes into the computer.
adapter?
What kind of adapter? I have vonage but have to switch back and forth to connect lines. Thanks for the info...
adapter
I bought one of these many years ago when I was working for Dictaphone. I bought it at Radio Shack if you have them in your area or I suppose you could buy it at a computer store. It is about 3 inches long and back then it was $5. Tell them how many prongs you need to convert to for the port.
You'll get used to it. It is keeping the right leg propped up at the same time that'll be the
When I broke my ankle, I was just grateful it wasn't the hands. Without our hands we'd be totally screwed.
I broke my right ankle slipping on ice and was lucky to have gloves on because the palm of the glove was totally torn up and my hand was okay.
Good luck and be sure to do your exercises when it is time.
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!! :)
Maybe there is some kind of an adapter you can buy??? sm
It seems kind of strange that your new computer would not have a serial port somewhere. Mine are hidden on the front of mine and I did not know it for a long time. Good luck.
I also purchased an adapter...sm
Staples also carries these adapters. I had to convert to a USB port as my newer pc did not have the port I needed either.
edited to say should be adapter
I spelled adapter wrong. It HAS been a long day.
