philips 9750 vs philips 9850 transcribing equipment
Has anyone had any experience with either the Philips 9750 or Philips 9850? My existing system is proving un-reliable; it has been down all day. Considering the Philips systems.
Experience with Philips 9850?
Has anyone out there had any experience with the philips 9850? It is expensive and I would like to hear your experiences, before spending a lot of dough for it.
I used 9850. Worked well but only 1 doc
That's the only drawback. It's a one-line system, so only one doctor at a time can dictate. It will ring busy if another tries to call. However, if you have only one doctor, it is ideal and the price is reasonable. I think I got mine for $999 a couple years ago, and I've seen them as low as $899 other places. Only problem I ever had with it had already been fixed by a patch put out by Philips. I downloaded the patch and it was like new again. I never even had to call tech support. I bought mine through Novuscript and they had all patches/upgrades free through their website. (Not to take away from Exec Comm above; they might offer that, too.)
Feel free to email me if you have other questions.
Go for the best! Sony, Philips - anything over $50.
Minimum $50 for a good pair. It never ceases to amaze me that MTs spend under $10 for the very thing that makes or breaks their work - Everything is based on what we hear. The difference is phenomenal between a cheap $10 headset and a good $50 and up one. Treat yourself well and go for a good set - again anything Sony or Philips over $50 - wireless are great - Sony makes a great rechargeable wireless. I prefer the Philips regular set that runs around $50. I can hear anything and everything perfectly, while my coworkers struggle and struggle. Invest in yourself and your career - you are WORTH IT!!
What's the difference between a C-phone and Philips
I see one has an actual phone piece. My Philips doesn't, but I call in to get work using the number pad. Can these work the same? If a job says I need a c-phone, should I say yes? Thanks.
will be using Philips. Yikes, I'm terrified now! LOL nm

Philips Transcription Station and Vonage
Years ago, I used a Philips Digital Transcription Station to get my MT work. It would plug into my landline jack and then I could dial in to get the jobs to transcribe. This week, the machine has returned since I am trying to help out someone with their work. Unfortunately, I no longer have a landline. I switched to Vonage over the summer. When I try to connect, it dials the phone number, I hear the computer voice that tells me to enter my ID # and then when I do that it is supposed to validate my number and show me the available jobs. It starts the validating process but then times out and hangs me up. Has anyone had problems like this and if so have you been able to fix it.....help please!!!
If it's Dictaphone or Philips, you're stuck
If the unit is Dictaphone or Philips and has a proprietary headset with weird prongs rather than a standard RCA plug like you can use with a Discman, then there is no adapter. Those companies want you to have to buy your headset from them or their authorized vendors. I've been through it with both. It's not enough that you've paid big bucks for the unit, they want every last cent they can get, including for the headset.
Trouble with Philips foot pedal....
I just installed the Philips foot pedal and configured the pedal about 30 times but still in order to play an audio clip I have to press the fast-forward pedal. The Play pedal is the rewind and the rewind is fast forward. I was told that I needed this pedal as this was the only pedal that worked with "the system" but I have the same issue if I try to use my wav pedal. (My wav pedal works fine with other applications). Not sure what in the world is going on....DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS??? 
Anyone have that Philips new ergomonic foot pedal?
I got up after transcribing for 4 hours straight and I nearly fell on my face! My foot/ankles hurt so bad from constantly pressing up and down on that foot pedal. I couldn't even put ANY weight on my foot and had pain shooting up my leg.
After transcribing for about 10 years, I always thought I might have to deal with carpal tunnel syndrome but not this!
I'm hoping someone has tried this new pedal. It's called a Royal Philips ergonomic foot control. Says you only have to make very, very small movements with your heel to start and stop. Here's a link to see what it looks like below. I've seen it cheaper elsewhere. I'm hoping someone who has used it can tell me if it's worth it.
Thanks so much in advance!!!!! 
I think MQ has lost a lot of very experienced MTs along the way since Philips bought the company and
I think they are hiring a tremendous amount of new and inexperienced people and that is a very good way to lose accounts which they are. MQ has some very difficult and very technical accounts in the big universities they deal with and they are very challenging for experienced people let alone new ones. It takes many many new people to accomplish what an experienced person can do and not to mention QA involvement until these people get trained and then many leave anyway.
Royal Philips ergonomic foot control
I have one of those foot pedals and I really like it alot. It is much easier to use that the other one that I have from years ago. You might consider it to be defective and contact the manufacturer for help.

Is a C-phone like Bytescribe call-in system or Philips digital transcription
My 2 stations don't have the actual phone piece, but I can make calls to the place where I get work. I'm just curious because I want to take a test that requires C-phone, and I'm not sure if my stations will work or not. If anyone can give me some background or information on this, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
Can't carry a tune
I can NOT sing either, but after a couple of drinks I will. I refuse to go alone or duet with a guy. I have found that going up in a group helps. You can still sing, but let other people help. I used to go often, but it has been awhile. I suggest trying it just once. In a group is the safest. It really is fun.
Dog doesn't carry a gun, none of his team does. sm
His story is actually very interesting. I know he is abrasive at first adn the wife is a real piece of work, but they really do try to help the people they round up. Dog is a born-again Christian, and he tries to help the people straighten their lives out, isn't in it just for the case. In fact, his own son is in jail for 20 years because of drugs, and so he has a personal motivation for getting drug dealers off the streets. I never miss the show, I find him inspiring because he found his nitch in the world to try to work for good. Unconventional, but he really sincerely tries.
Do any of you ICs out there carry your own liability insurance if
you are working for an MTSO? I do not carry this insurance and was looking for what you all can advise me. Thanks.
i've done it recently as carry-on
and had no problems, not even any q's.
so glad it worked! Carry on! nm

That is just because it is the first posting, and the first company ad. Carry on down the list.

Do Office Max or Staples carry the ones you mentioned?
Those are the only two office stores we have within an hour drive of me. Which models in particular would you recommend??? I do need to keep the price down, whether I buy them or the doctor's office does.
I do appreciate your feedback. :)
Carry mace or pepper spray for this. (nt)
The reason I don't tip is because I NEVER have a dime on me. I don't carry cash, ever! I don&#
debit card and it's been like that for 4 years. I use a check or credit card for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
You shouldn't have to carry dead weight.
Give her a clear outline of your expectations and say do this or I will have no choice but to find someone who will.
I guess Healthfood stores would carry these items.

Headers and Footers can carry on to the rest of the pages.

I do not carry E&O insurance, but I do have my equipment covered under my HO policy.
My office is in my home and, God forbid, there should be a fire, I'd be out of business. I have coverage for my computer, printer, fax, phones and loss of use on a separate rider. Also, should anyone injury themselves coming or going from my office while doing business with me, their injuries are covered. Perhaps this is the information you're looking for.
I carry my laptop in a case with a shoulder strap and...sm
put my keyboard and foot pedal in my rolling luggage. it has worked fine so far. I will say that the next upgrade for me will be a much lighter weight smaller laptop.
to carry on a long drawn out thread on supervisor's woes below
Why in the world if it is so awful, so stressful, so thankless and pay is not that much more (someone posted $3 dollars an hour below), why do you continue to supervise?
Also the general tone of the supervisors is kind of like they don't really like or respect the MTs. Is that healthy? 
Some of the craft stores like Michael's carry them in funky colors, too. nm

I carry my mail in, sort it immediately, and put the junk in the trash.

Google search shows TigerDirect and belkin.com both carry this. nm
