decrease Dictaphone dictation speed
Posted By: not so fast on 2008-02-20
In Reply to:
In ExText, by using the Transnet box, there's an option to decrease the speed of dictation. Well, I have mine all the way to the left, as slow as it will go, but there are some dictators who talk so fast, I can't keep up. Does anyone know of any method to decrease the speed even further than what the Transnet box shows?

decrease dictation speed
Gosh, thank you for writing. I tried it, though (CTRL F2 and ALT F2), and nothing happened. Am I missing a step? 
increase speed 3, decrease speed 2...sm
increase backspace 9, decrease backspace 8. At least that's what mine does.
Need help with playback speed on Dictaphone C-phone
Please help!! Can't figure out how to slow down the MD
can't you speed up the dictation
during the umming and hold music?
Turn up the speed of the dictation a tad.
Try to keep up the dictation at a higher speed and you'll have to type faster. Sometimes I can get in a groove and just fly, other times it seems like I don't type very fast, though when I keep up with my lph I'm doing 280+, so I'm not typing as slow as a I thought. I nearly flunked typing in jr. high. I had a hard time not looking at the keys and I could barely type 35 wpm. Never thought I'd be making a living typing - of course I do more than that, but you know what I mean.
Dictation speed question. sm
As a rule (obviously, it varies based on typist and doctor), but 30 minutes of dictation would take 90 minutes based on the 1:3 rule, right?
If dictation is 30 minutes but took 3 plus-hours to transcribe it, this dictation was done in double speed, right? Looking for some sort of chart online that shows this. It was a .dss file.
Any help is appreciated.
Speed increase on digital dictation
I am switching over from tapes to digital. I am using Express Scribe to play my files. I am used to playing my tapes at a faster speed. I find that on the digital dictations, some of the clarity is lost when I increase the speed. Does anyone else have this problem and do you have any suggestions/solutions? Thanks in advance!
dictaphone extext is there a way to sign off a dictation
without having to create a document on the Dictaphone system. A doctor dictated a letter that has no demographics. How can I bypass their system and type in my own document? All answers much appreciated
Dictaphone Digital Dictation Straight Talk System 7120 user manual
I had posted earlier about a manual for the Straight Talk System 7120. If anyone has a manual, please let me know. Apparently someone responded but now I can't find the original posted message. Thanks!
Lanier is a type of dictaphone, but when speaking of a C-phone, it's meant as the Dictaphone Con

MQ DQS pay decrease? not here
Never heard of that one. Was told lines would increase but nothing about rate decrease and I've been on DQS since day one
May be your management padding their own, but mine did not and I would not have settled for it, period!
pay decrease
Going back to MT from ME will mean getting all the worst dictators who can't dictate on ASR. That will be the only reports you will see if you go back to MT, so I don't see how we can gain by that. Between a rock and a hard place.
pay decrease
The ME are their most knowledgeable employees because that is what it takes to be an editor. You need tons of experience and years of transcription to edit correctly from the gibberish that comes on the screen. Yet, they decrease your pay for ME by 20% and expect an increase in productivity by 25%. As all the worst dictators are not ASR but need to be transcribed, how do they expect the struggling MTs (newbies) and less experienced MTs to make a living. This sucks.
Decrease in pay.
I received my letter today, and I am very angry. The price of gas is going up, which will cause everything else to go up, and we are getting a decrease in pay.
Decrease in pay
Yes, I have received a letter.
more like decrease of 25%
it's the same scenario when we went on DEP -- when you inquired about how many were having a 20% increase they made you feel like you were doing something wrong or not trying enough because there were TONS AND TONS of MTs out there that were just having tremendous increases in their line rates. I really don't know how they sleep at night!!
Do they ever decrease your pay?
Can they?
Sorry, I did not have a substantial decrease in pay
So don’t think that would fly with the labor board. Very few posting about VR have anything positive to say; therefore the hater tag. I would say they either have not given it a try and slamming because they feel they CANNOT make a decent salary or they just are unable to do VR.
DQS LINE COUNT DECREASE
OKAY LADIES, SO WHAT DO WE DO? SEEMS WE HAVE ALL EXPERIENCED THEFT OF OUR LINE COUNTS - HOW ABOUT TEAMING UP AND FIGHTING THIS?
DECREASE IN PAY!! LETS REBEL
they want to decrease our ME pay by 20%. we need to all be asked to go back to MTs and earn what we are worth
I was told when I trained on DQS that there would be a decrease
in pay for lines done as ME.
Emdat/Inscribe-Is there a way to decrease
the rewind setting? It rewinds too far every time I release the play button or if I push rewind button. I have looked at all the options and I can't find a place to set the rewind amount.
Can quit if "substantial decrease in pay" ..sm
or hours". THIS is how it works, per Labor Board, clearly stated. Or maybe you'd like to educate us on "how it works". Who's talking about "hating", which you keep bring up?

oh geeze - 4-6% wage decrease, I/we should be so lucky!! My pay has dropped (sm)
30% - yes, that's right 30 PERCENT!! - in the last ten years. This is all due to the new and improved (ahem!) creative ways of now counting the lines and what's included and what's not included. You can't tell me doctors aren't making money these days. If there were no money to be made, NOBODY would want to become one!!
Sorry - do not know what happened to my above post. I press 2 for decrease, 3 for increase. nm

C-phone speed help! PLEASE! Speed key!
I am in tears - typing speedy gonzalez - a total knee replacement, not a standard, dictated in under 1 minute - FULL REPORT! Can you imagine? I have a C-phone that is just hanging in there, but lost all its programming. Isn't there a # key on the number part of the phone that reduces speed? I need it way slooooooooooow!! I'm afraid to just start hitting numbers, though, cause I've lost reports that way!! Anybody have a # to hit for me???
Speed when it comes to DSL
I would love to cut my bills, with my DSL carrier have to have land phone in order to have internet. I do both VR and straight typing, mostly VR. Has anyone had any issues with similar, using the fastest DSL (which costs more) and then going to the lower rate (which costs less). I might be interested if I can find is there really that much difference in your speed?
Probably will! Maybe we could speed it along - sm
by sending the link to our local TV stations!
speed
your processor is what adds speed or diminishes speed. being as that your computer is 4-5 years old, your processor probably just cannot keep up with the expectations you have of it. With increased files and using an online platform, you probably need an updated processor. Also depends on how much you have *open* at the time of working on the online platform.
Speed
Definitely have to have a split keyboard. My wpm went up considerably with the split keyboard plus your hands don't get as tired because it is in a more natural position. 
Speed
I have found that timing myself with a stopwatch makes me get more done. Otherwise, I take my time and then I do less work. I make a limit for each transcription, and then I try to beat that time.

Speed
what speed do you all keep your dictations on? normal or chipmunk style?
I did this, what did it say your speed was?
It said mine averaged 180.
speed it up
I am in the same situation. My computer is fine, just slow, and I don't want to buy a new one, especially not with Vista. I bought 1GB of RAM from an ebay seller (new) for $35, watched a YouTube video on how to install it (super quick and easy), and now it is running a lot faster. I also ran a Scan Disk and Defragmenter to clean it up. I had hundreds of thousands temporary internet files that got cleared out.

I am beginning a transcription job for an allergist on Monday and they are looking to me for advice on what type of transcriber to buy and where to purchase the machine. Since it has been awhile since I have transcribed, I would like some assistance. I live in TX. Thanks~Sherry
RE: Dictaphone
I have been hearing a lot of bad things about Dictaphone company. Just wondering if any of you have had any bad dealings with them, maintenance, getting in contact with somebody, etc.. I hear bad from everybody except Dictaphone people.
dictaphone
Try transcriptiongear.com or executive communications. I have gotten lanier stuff from executive. I sold my Dictaphone last year for 235.00 it was in pristine condition. Got my lanier/with power box from e-bay.
Dictaphone VR
Has anyone out there edited Dictaphone VR? Considering a job, but not sure if I could make more than I make typing. Thanks.
Dictaphone VR
I've been doing Dictaphone
VR for nearly 3 years now. My speed has increaded about 40%. I cannot comment on increased income, as we are paid hourly whether we do VR or straight typing. But, I must add I really enjoy it. I'm not sure I could go back to typing every report ever again.
Dictaphone VR
What do you mean by Dictaphone VR? I have VR installed but haven't had the time or patience to start using it. Is there a way to connect the Dictaphone to the computer so you don't have to listen, say it, etc?
Dictaphone
I have a Dictaphone C phone that plugs into my phone line and does work with the cable phone. I live in the Northeast and have that all-in-one package for cable, phone and TV, and the Dictaphone has worked fine. I have long distance unlimited which helps too in case the number you have to dial isn't local.
Using Dictaphone
How easy/difficult is it to use dictaphone? Is it user friendly or a pain in the rear. Thanks!!
RE: Dictaphone
Does anybody out there know who to contact for Dictaphone C-phone that needs fixing.
Dictaphone
Please, does anyone know where to get a Dictaphone C-phone fixed. Mine quit. I can call in and they answer, but when I press the button, it disconnects and operator comes on and says, if you want to make a call, hang up and dial again. Have tried everything. It was raining, but no big storm, just wind blowing, but don't know if it was lightening or not. I contacted Dictaphone and they have flat rate of $301 plus tax to fix it.
Dictaphone
Yikes! We used to have a guy come to our office to fix but I live in Washington state. Sorry I cannot help further. I have a Dictaphone for sale for $250 if you need one.
dictaphone help
I am in need of help figuring out how to transcribe remotely from a dictaphone c-phone calling into a dictaphone straight talk system.
Dictaphone EXT
THE BEST SYSTEM TO WORK ON TO DATE - Simple, friendly, no fuss.
The speech part is great also, but is only good if the person responsible for training it does their job . If it is not tweaked everyday, it is worthless. So the added theroy of the system is only as good as the operator (or in this case, the montioring person).
need Dictaphone help
I have a Dictaphone Straight Talk that suddenly stopped answering the phone when my client calls. Dictaphone won't service this model anymore and the computer repair shop I went to didn't know how. I only have one client using this system and don't want to spend to much money replacing or repairing it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
RE: Dictaphone
Dictaphone does not show printout, but tells you the minutes. If you push button, think #6, it tells you how much time you have left if programmed for that.
Dictaphone Help!!!!please!!!!
I am on the road right now and trying to work from a family members home on my laptop, however my 2-yo knocked my dictaphone off the desk and now although I can get a dial tone I cannot get any of the keys to work!!!!!
Anyone have any experience with anything like this
