Dictaphone TransNet

Dictaphone TransNet is voice file player software that installs on your computer. 


You need a foot pedal and a boomerang attachment between the foot pedal and your computer to control playback.  It attaches to a USB connection on your computer.


To use it, you establish a secure connection with the Dictaphone server, jobs are downloaded to your TransNet program, and you transcribe the files.  When done, you sign the jobs off and they show in the server as completed, and other files will automatically download as they are available.


Any other specific questions, let us know.  :)  Good luck!


Transnet is just the Dictaphone system SM
you use to download voice files from a file server on the Internet - you can adjust speed, volume, backstop, etc. The client/MTSO assigns dictators to you, just simply sign on, download, and type away.
So are Dictaphone ExText and Transnet the same thing or somehow used together?

Dictaphone Transnet extremely slow.
I've been doing QA work using this Dictaphone Transnet system, and it has got to be the slowest software I've ever worked on.  I'm sure it's probably OK for typing since it downloads 2 jobs at a time, but for QA, it's really slow.  I spend more time waiting for the job to open than anything. 
depends on acct. Some Lanier, some dictaphone, i.e. Transnet nm

Nuance is the parent company of Dictaphone. Dictaphone makes ExText.

Does Dictaphone obtain the accounts for the companies who use Dictaphone EXText?
I was just wondering if this is the same as it used to be.  Dictaphone installs the equipment in facilities and then gets a MTSO to take the account.  Therefore, the MT company never solicits for accounts, but Dictaphone notifes them when they have installed equipment in a hospital.
Transnet
Transnet is a program, usually provided by the company/hospital as they usually pay Dictaphone for the cost of the licence.  You would need a wav pedal to play files through your computer.
transnet (sm)
click on icon for transnet at bottom of screen.  When the little box pops up, do you see a more to click?  You should.  Click on more and then there is a way to make it louder, softer, more backup, less backup, and I think it is called play rate.  Do you see this?
I have used Transnet before...sm
You do need a special footpedal in order for it to work.
Transnet
Right right, slow for transcription too. I got paid 13 cpl using Transet and realized why the pay was so high, because the software is sooooo slow and I got nothing done. I make more money now on a different account with less pl rate. Good Luck. I lated almost two years.

Can you use an IN-DB9 with TransNet?
Anyone know?
TRANSNET, NINA
What is your situation?  I work with Nina when she needs my help.
Transnet/Extext
What companies use Dictaphone software?
I'm going to be using MedTran and Transnet
Any info on either system would be appreciated.  TIA!
Transnet/Exttext
Does anyone use this software on a laptop; if so, have you experienced any problems with it?  Thanks! 
EXText and Transnet
Has anyone worked on a system utilizing a VPN client and Word Client before?  The voice player is called Transnet, but Word Client appears to be EXText.  This seems to be quite a complicated process to learn.  Anyone else have problems with this in the past?
extext word/transnet
OSi and Trans-Tech use that platform.
Yes you can - go on Transnet playback rate

Little box for transnet player question. (sm)

Is there a way to move this box up to the top of the screen and out of the way of the document so you can leave it open while typing report?   Hate to call Tech support if it is really something simple.  I tried to just move it, but can't seem to get it done.


Any help appreciated.


Transnet Player Not Working
I have a USB pedal, which normally works with just about everything, but cannot get it to work with the Transnet player.  When I manually click on the play arrow on the player itself, it plays, but not with the pedal.  What could be wrong?
Need some information on Transnet system please (sm)
There is something in the archives from December 2008 basically telling how the pedal works.  What I want to know is, since the jobs are downloaded does it take longer to get the reports?  Has the speed of downloading the jobs improved since 2006?  From what I read in the archives it takes forever to d/l jobs but that was a couple years ago so if anyone is using Transnet, please let me know if it has improved any and what your general opinion of it is. TIA. 
ExText Transnet Player
First of all when the player comes up click Alt+T to keep player on top. Next click Alt+M to remember position.

1. Alt+V = Volume. Move left/right arrow keys to increase or decrease.
2. Alt+P = Play. Move left/right keys as above to increase or decrease.
3. Alt+A = Auto backspace. Same principles as above.
4. Alt+R = Rewind.
5. Alt+F = Forward.

Hope this helps.
Is anyone working with Nina of Transnet out of Florida?

Just wondering on your situation...to compare to mine.


Thanks.


I believe Transnet is how ExText is connected. Easy to use. Most demographics are

MQ does not own Lanier.  Dictaphone owned/bought Lernout and Hauspie which filed bankrupt in 2000.  MQ/Phillips in bed....
Dictaphone

Does anybody work for Dictaphone?  We have recently learned our transcription department is going to outsource our work to them. I am curious how they are to work for.


 


 


Huh??? I don't think Dictaphone...

...is an MTSO or has an MTSO division.  Dictaphone provides equipment and service to MTs/MTSOs.  Sales, tech staff and, perhaps, former MTs work for Dictaphone.  Whoever told you Dictaphone is probably mistaken.


Anyone, correct me if I'm wrong...


Dictaphone
Was informed they partner with MTSOs who use their software.

Sorry, forgot to say I am working on the Dictaphone platform.

I just started using the Dictaphone platform last night and can't believe how slow it is. I too am doing QC and it is going to be hard to make any money. I was wondering if it was just my computer but I guess not if you are having problems, too.
Dictaphone/TT
You are 100 percent correct. There is nothing so frustrating as trying to get seemingly intelligent people to understand such simple things. They automatically thought it was TT trying to trying to grab that extra few cents for each report. I've personally come to the conclusion that the negative people who post on this board are disgruntled ones who cannot and will not perform to standards, possibly have been released and then the ones who are trying to be loyal to MQ, KS or others (possibly even the head honchos of those companies)and come on here to disillusion others. A company speaks for itself in the way they treat their employees and the quality of the product they provide. If you are a current TT employee you are getting plenty of work. If you're not getting a full paycheck, then you are not performing to standards. Simple as that. Don't take it out on the company just because their platform is not what you're used to. And go elsewhere to bellyache. Some of you are not content if you don't create something to complain about.
Dictaphone
I assume it's just a cost issue, just as some companies provide you with a foot pedal, some make you buy one from them and some loan them to you for a fee.

Dictaphone/EXText
EXText is the word processing program which works with MS Word and is marketed by Dictaphone company. Transnet is the voice file player that works along with EXText to play the voice files. Hope that helps. :)

I had some Dictaphone problems but not as bad as you (sm)
I think they are getting it worked out though, hang on, it's a great company.
DICTAPHONE EXTEXT
Can anyone who uses this program tell me if there is a way to slow down the voice or speed it up?  Thanks for any help.
If you are on the Dictaphone side, you are definitely NOT -sm
on one of their hardest accounts. Their hardest accounts are done on Merit and by Medware India (who funny enough, can't understand the ESLs there either).
You obviously don't mind that over half of their staff is off shore and they are constantly moving towards having 100% of their work done either by VR or by off shore MTs.
I once thought I would retire from MedWare as well, but I decided to get out when I saw the writing on the wall with regard to their sending work off shore.
I currently work for them on the dictaphone...
side and REALLY enjoy it. The benefits are good and the platform has been easy to work with. They also have holiday pay, vacation pay after 1 year, sick leave, and other benefits for fulltime workers. I am not sure what the starting pay range is, but they are an AWESOME company to work for. HTH!
Dictaphone has been busy....
and I have yet to run out of work. The only time it was slow was on the 4th of July (which is not unusual considering it was a holiday), but I have not had any problems with running out of work OR management. I've been with Medware now for almost 6 months and REALLY like it!
dictaphone EXT, love it, yes to the others. nm

I have over the 512, my problem with Dictaphone...
is when I do long reports the system locks up and I end up losing my reports. If I only do short reports I do not have the problem, but if it is over 9 or 10 minutes, then the ctrl A tries to lock up or when I do the ctrl N it sits and sits and sits and never comes back to the menu screen. I have plenty of memory, as I have used Dictaphone for a different company on this same computer and never had this problem, so not sure what the deal is.
Not just DQS, OSI uses Dictaphone & configure it to

Unethical??? Tell that to Dictaphone


Perhaps the note from Dictaphone was (sm)

something they just found out and all along it has been giving you MORE lines and this note was to inform that it is now corrected and what you see is truly your line count.  This, of course, would make your true line count seem lower but would now be accurate and all this time you have actually been overpaid?


I am not saying this is the actual case, but the note was very vague and could be a notification to the MT that things were not adding up in the past correctly and the situation has now been resolved.  This would leave the MT thinking they are being skimped now, but in actuality they are now receiving their true line count. 


Just a thought!
