Hello: Can anyone tell me how to get the dial-tone to come through the headset rather than the handset? For some reason, today, the dial-tone is coming through the handset only and I cannot hear anything out of my headphones. Any help would be appreciated!
DICTAPHONE C-PHONE

I AM SELLING MY DICTAPHONE C-PHONE AND HAVE LOWERED THE PRICE TO $130.00 PLUS SHIPPING.  IT WORKS GREAT AND WAS BARELY USED. EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED, INCLUDING THE FOOTPEDAL.  I ALSO HAVE (2) 9-PIN FOOT PEDALS THAT WORK FOR DICTAPHONE (NOT THE C-PHONE) AND ESCRIPTION, ETC. FOR $25.00 EACH PLUS SHIPPING.  EMAIL ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.  I CAN SEND PICTURES OF THE ITEMS TO PEOPLE WHO ARE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED.  THANKS!


Anyone know how I can test a Dictaphone C-Phone?
I bought one used on e-Bay...it appears to work...I get a dial tone, but I can't use or program pedal functions until I'm connected. Any ideas? Thanks.

Dictaphone C-phone question. . . sm
Hello and thanks in advance to those who read and/or post any helpful information on this.

Have a new account using C-phone to access dictation. Volume is increasing and may have to hire someone to help me with the work. Is there a way to pull from the C-phone and create digital voice files to upload to an FTP for another MT to transcribe or would I need to just purchase another C-phone for that MT to use?

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Best, javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');

Dictaphone C-phone manual

Does anyone one possibly have a PDF file with the operating instructions for a C-phone.  Please.


Thanks in advance


Where is the best place to purchase dictaphone or C-phone?

Also, I am very unfamiliar with the different types of equipment out there.  I have worked for only 1 company in 7 years and use their equipment.  Can you tell me if there is a difference in the 2 pieces.  Also, I used to use a Lanier station when I first bega, would this be considered a dictaphone?


Thanks.


Anybody know how to turn off the ringer on a Dictaphone C-Phone??? TIA nm

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!
What is the code to unlock "Program Locked" C-phone from Dictaphone
I have a Dictaphone C-phone that is in working condition but I can't use because it is in the "Program Locked" mode and I have no instructions on how to unlock it.  HELP ME!!!!
C-phone used to call in to dictating systems to receive work. A special phone. nm

I had a lot of trouble with static in my C-phone. I replaced the phone cord and that made a big

difference.  Also, have you tried a different headset?  Also someone told me one time that there is a microphone under your volume control on the right corner of the C-phone.  It's a tiny hole.  If you break off a Q-tip and stick that into the hole that will squelch a lot of background noise and that worked as well.  As far as getting your C-phone service, I heard that Dictaphone is "sunsetting" C-phones at the end of this year.  Meaning, they aren't going to service them anymore as they are considered an obsolete technology.  So, I would contact Dictaphone and see what your options are.


I know very little about Lanier equipment.  I've not used it as extensively as Dictaphone.  Is there a local appliance repair place in your area?  You might ask one of those places to take a look at your equipment and see what they think.  Kinda scary, cause they could do more harm than good, but maybe worth a shot.


Not much help, I know.  But I thought I would share what tiny bit of obscure knowledge I do have. 


I've changed them between an old phone and new phone, but the same company, i.e. Nextel.

I use my c-phone whenever we travel. You can hook it directly into your room phone. Be sure and as

I think you can dial into most systems that require C-phone without having a C-phone nm

I am wondering if there is a way to use your C-phone with Vonage phone service?

May have to change phone companies, have switched to job using a C-phone. sm
Currently have Embarq (formerly Sprint), and my usage will be going up about 12,000 minutes a month.  What phone companies offer really unlimited for a flat rate?  TIA.
C-phone and ATT. There is no problem with the C-phone, but ATT wouldn't let me use unlimited.

I have cable phone access and my C-phone works - sm
I am not sure about you problem, because it sounds just like I have mine hooked up.  The only thing I can think of is that mine has 2 line hookups in the back of the phone.  If you have this too, I would just try the other one, which you probably have already done.  Sorry that was not much help.  I wish you luck
I have a very loud hum when using my C-phone, but no hum when I'm using the regular phone. SM

Anyone else experience this problem with their C-phone?  Is there a problem with my C-phone?  At first I thought it was my telelphone line and called the phone company.  They sent a technician out to replace the lines and check the house, but the hum is still there on the C-phone.


It's driving me batty!


C-phone info regarding phone lines etc.
I am completely clueless on the subject of a C-phone.  Can someone help me understand exactly how this works?  Do you have to specifically have a separate "dial up internet" service to use the C-phone? I currently have cable internet and am wondering if there is anything else I need to get.  I guess I should contact my phone company.  At any rate, any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!
If you use a C-phone for work and have a digital phone

through cable, have you tried to take an incoming call?


We only have one phone line.  I rarely get/make calls and when I do we have cell phones.  I just started working with a C-phone and got digital phone.  I can go a month and my phone not ring, so far have gotten 3 calls today, but I'm afraid that if I try to answer the phone that I will lose my report. 


I guess I could pull up a report and have my husband call on his C-phone and test it that way and then if I lose it no biggie. 


 


 


Anyone use/try C-phone with Medicom's phone service?
Wondering if it works?
C-phone and phone line
I have cable for my Internet so I have my C-phone on my regular home phone line and forward my home phone number to my cell phone.
A c-phone is just a phone, with headphones sm

and a foot pedal.  You call into a number (hopefully 800 number), put in your codes, and a voice file comes on.  You use the headphones and the foot pedal, and transcribe on your computer into a word processing program, then send the finished file back per their directions.


The c-phone is not connected to the internet in any way.  There is no downloading involved.  It is just a phone by means of which you get your voice files.  It needs a phone line and you stay on the line the entire time.


c-phone from cell phone
I believe if you check with your cell phone carrier they have an adapter that you can use to plug into your cell phone from the c-phone. Not sure about this but I think I had a friend tell me she had to do this but it was a year or so ago. Hope this helps.
It connects via phone like, just like a C-phone.
 
I have an old actual C-phone phone if that is what you mean, (sm)
not the newer kind that connects to a computer.  I don't know if yours is programmed the same, but mine shows 8 to decrease and 9 to increase.  Hope this helps.
C-phone and phone plans....
I have a company that I have recently hired on with that uses c-phones.  At home I have an unlimited long distance plan, but I'm wondering if while traveling there is a plan that you can get in order to use a c-phone in a motel, relative's homes, etc.  I like to be able to still work while traveling and I feel this is going to limit me.  Any suggestions or ideas?
Digital phone/C-phone

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


? About using dictaphone
Is there a way when files are assigned to you to know how many files or how much audio length you have assigned to you through some function on the Dictaphone itself? 
RE: Dictaphone
There is no summary, I dont' think.  Know you can get the minutes if you hit play header or 6.  Can't get total of what you have though.
dictaphone
I'll try that...thanks for the help!
