Help! I am trying to get started transcribing at home and I have work to do but I need advice on what type of transcribing phone to purchase. I have been instructed by my current employer to by a cphone that dials into an automated system to retreive my work. Please, any advice or if anyone has one for sale. The cheaper the better or I will buy used. Thanks.

Cphone
Is this phone still available? My daughter needs one. Are there any others out there today?
cphone
All four that I have owned I have used the end button on the left side, bottom row, for headphones. I hit speaker, dial in, and when it connects I just hit that button and it goes to headphones and it no longer is audible from the speaker. Maybe they were all preprogrammed, but they all worked the same.
Cphone
I had worked using a CPhone for my first 5 years in this field. When i went to work for a national i was nothing but confused. There are several posted on the classified board here for under 200... And they go for a lot more than that new. It is an adjustment no matter what new thing u are trying to get used to.. The biggest thing is that the headphones .. The ones you use for the PC won’t work as the headset port is a two-pin thing...
Cphone
It is a dictaphone unit. It also doubles as a telephone. Kinda bulky and ugly, but works great. You use it like a phone, to dial into the dictation line, and retrieve dictation from accounts who are not accessed through the net lines. It has attached ear phones, or in my case, ear buds. Good luck!

Actually the person who trained me told me to do this. Thanks for your help.
Dictaphone Cphone SOS
Has anyone ever locked up a C-phone accidentally and now requires a security code which I do not have nor does the owner of the machine to do anything. I am at standstill. Any advice appreciated.
can anyone explain to me what a cphone is?
I've only ever worked for MQ and I have no idea what a C-phone is. Is it a piece of equipment or software or both?
Cphone questions
I am supposed to be starting an acct that uses a Cphone and am wondering how this works. To those who use a Cphone how does this differ from signing in and transcribing via online? Also I'm wondering about if you are able to reject a dictated job on cphone if it is a dictator you can't transcribe? On the acct I'm on now there is a doctor I simply can not transcribe no matter how hard I try and no matter how long I try so I can just reject his dictation and it goes back into the system for someone else and I'm wondering if the same thing will work with Cphone? Thanks, Wanda

I emailed you re: above.
SOS-familiar w/Cphone DA-127D?
It's crunch time - I am using TranscriptionGear Model DA-127D for first time (replacement after demise of Dictaphone C-phone) and do not have instruction manual. I've navigated through a report and need help with the following: Everytime I take my foot off the pedal, I get the recorded "To sign off you must be at the end of the report." Then, when I actually got to the end of the report, it signed off automatically with the foot pedal. I must sign reports off manually on this acct. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
Question about Cphone headset?
I have the stethoscope style #AL-60DP but where the wire hooks to the stethoscope part it won't stay together and I could barely hear out of them. Is there something I'm not doing right or are they broke? Thanks!
Cphone and foot pedal
Actually, my foot pedal plugs into the C-phone, not the computer, but all this junk is very confusing, isn't it?

Question for Lanier/Cphone users...please...
I have a Lanier LX219 that I just hooked up. I have it all programmed (I believe) correctly. I am having a problem with the pedal though. I can play the dictation but I cannot for the life of me figure out the rewind or fast forward on the pedal. It just beeps at me. Do I have something programmed wrong? Does anyone know what I have done wrong? Thanks for any advice.

Do independent contractors working from home have to have a business license to work from home? Please help as this issue has been raised. Thanks for any help!
Where did you purchase? sm
I bought one from Exprescribe like that and never could get it to work.
Does anyone know if you can purchase
a C-phone locally or you have to get them on the web? I am freaking out. A little bit of water got spilled on mine and the buttons will not work now. I let it dry out overnight and it seems fine when you plug it in, but none of the buttons will work!

VoiceScribe program? I am offered a position with a company but they only give you a 30-day trial for this program - then after that you have to purchase license for $600. I just can't afford that right now. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
definitely purchase something
I got a Brother fax machine several years ago at Office Depot for around $80 or so. I later got an HP all-in-one in 2005 at Sam's. I don't remember what it cost, but it's worth it if you'll be faxing regularly. Some of your clients may prefer a scanned version.
You could also compare on-line fax capabilities, which seems to be more current, for obvious reasons. I can't remember the details, but I've heard it advertised on talk radio.
Just a thought, especially if you'll be doing this regularly. Places like the UPS Store, etc. charge a good bit to fax, not to mention the inconvenience of leaving the house to do it.
Me too. Let me know if you find it. I will purchase it also. I also don't know whether or not
Good luck.
It is normal to have to purchase your own
provide the PC. Some will provide the foot pedal if you do not have what is required. Some companies give you the option of renting their equipment. It all depends on the company, but yes you will have to have your own resource books.
Anything you purchase for your transcription
You might want to check out some of the earlier posts here as the tax issues have been discussed. You would probably gain information in that respect. Also, you might want to have an accountant/tax preparer for your first year. Some say, you can copy the next year from that first year, but I personally believe in having my taxes prepared for me as these guys are up on things, ya' know. Most definitely though you will want to get your own freestanding PC because down the road you may want to gain some of your own accounts, so you will need that. You will be fine. Some of these people act like you out to take their job or something??? Go figure. There is always one bad apple in the bunch, right? I learned that in grade school. Best wishes in your endeavors....
Because of scammers, if you purchase a new pc,
and want ALL the CDs, you are going to have to make a verbal request.
Yes, you can purchase an adapter just about anywhere
that sells computer accessories, such as Radio Shack, Best Buy, CompUSA (online only now), etc.
Research and purchase best available. NM

Here's the link to purchase it

If you already have version III, you can upgrade to V for about half the cost. 
Is it a program you have to purchase? nm

LOL - but the poster is asking to purchase
the company provided PC?
Individual MT usually has to purchase it ..

An alternative would be to purchase and download
a product called Phone Tools by BVRP. It functions as both a fax and answering machine. I've been using it for >5 years now and have never had any problems.
if you use your debit card for gas purchase (SM)
make sure you realize that some companies (Shell is really really bad to do this) will reserve extra funds on your debit card until the transaction completes and releases those funds 24-72 hours later. With Shell, it is $75 over your purchase. I nearly fainted when I realized what was happening. You can go on MSN Money and find a few articles on this -- gas companies reserving funds on your debit card.
Be aware before you purchase online sm
I've never ordered any of my pets' meds online but my friend has. One of her dogs was found to have heart worms and the guarantee was not honored because the product was purchased from a website which does not guarantee its products. I can't remember which site it was; you may want to inquire before you purchase. (She ended up paying $700 for treatment.)
Please overlook any typos, it's been a LONG day.
You can purchase the CMT Review Guide-sm
from Stedman's. The title is "The CMT Reveiw Guide." This book was just released last year (2005) and was developed for the current version of the CMT exam. You might also want to consider a CMT Study Group. Contact the nearest chapter of AAMT as they do have CMT Study Groups. I know that the Online Chapter of AAMT is about to start a study group that will complete in time to take the CMT in the end of July/begining of August. Oak Horizons also offers and online CMT Prep Course which I have heard is really good. You can get more info on the Oak Horizons class on www.aamt.org and do a search for CMT prep course. For more info on the OCAAMT Study Group contact certconnector@aamtonline.org.

Best place to purchase C-phone? sm
I may need to purchase a C-phone. I've been looking at ebay and some other sites. Do any of you have a favorite place to purchase equipment? I live in Atlanta area, and it seems like there used to be a place to buy equipment, but I can't remember the name.
TIA for your help!
if you purchase Word 2003 (sm)
buy the CD. If you purchase the version that is already loaded on your computer you will never be able to recover that software should your system fail or something happen to your hard drive. If you purchase the CD, you can use that copy on something like three or five computers at your home, and you can reinstall a number of times. Once you run out of installs, you will have to call Microsoft for a new verification number, but if you tell them you only have it on X number of computers at home and you had a bad hard drive, they will give you the verification number so that you can reinstall the program. Otherwise, if you purchase the software from the download that came with your computer, you will not be able to do this - it will be a one-time install only. Ask me how I know *_*
If you purchase a used product online,
be sure to use your credit card only for the transaction. That way, if the product is defective, you can file a dispute with your credit card company, and they will recoup your funds if the seller refuses to send you a refund directly. PayPal has a program in place also to help customers recoup their loss if the transaction took place via PayPal.

You can usually purchase short-term disability from
your employer if they offer long-term disability. When it is offered, you usually choose the reimbursement rate, typically up to 70% of your pay.
Savings. LOL That's the way you'll make up the difference. Sadly, disability insurance (LT or ST) has never covered 100% of missing pay.

Which company is best to purchase digital recorders from?
I want to be sure I get good tech support along with my purchase and the original software that should come with the recorders I purchase. (I have "heard" that some company may send their own software with the recorders they sell.)
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.
