It would never work without EVERYONE sticking together!
and when it comes to actually "doing", they chicken out!  Only if a good majority of you do it, will it work.
I'm sticking with QLDB then. Thanks.

No, that is not the sticking point-
she is not wanting to make just 900 a month - she says she is fast and wants to make lots more than that but cannot because of how she retired- only ALLOWED to make 900 a month- She is being dishonest and that is why people are angry at her. Would you like it to be working and paying 30% in taxes and yet your next door neighbor works and gets paid in cash with no money going in in taxes- would you like that- would you consider it fair to you? Same thing here, fairness.
Keys sticking

Get a new one or else clean it out with a vacuum or one of this spray cans for keyboards. When my keys start sticking especially the spacer bar, it's usually a sign that it's ready to be replaced.


It's amazing how much junk you find between the keys. Slide a little business card through your keys and see what you come up with. LOL


Maybe people will start sticking together
and acting as a group, instead of bicking with each other on this forum.
Congrats on sticking to your guns
I worked for a company as a so called IC.  Then all of a sudden we had 4 days to decide if wanted to be an employee and if not had to incorporate.  4 days is not enough time to do that so I became employee.  I think it is a control issue!!  They will tell you when, how and where.  It all comes down to how high do you want to jump?  :)  For some not high enough.  When they want to start furnishing the computer, the reference materials, benefits, etc. then it is worth looking at.  That to me is an employee.  Until then.....
Anyway to fix a sticking foot pedal? SM
It is an IN-USB-1 foot pedal.  It just recently started sticking.  I will press the play button with my foot and sometimes the dictation will just flicker.  Other times, the dictation will keep going.  Even after I released my foot and it just goes on and on and on... I cant stop it..   I would hate to have to spend the money for a new one....  I mean if I have to I have to, but if anyone knows of a way to fix the problem, maybe clean it with something....  then please share your knowlege!!!!  lol.  Thanks guys!!!!
No matter anyone's reason for sticking in a
job, that's still no excuse to do a job haphazardly.
Foot pedal sticking. Is it time to get a new one? sm
I've noticed the last couple of days my footpedal is sticking a bit when I take my foot off of it.  Not staying on but sort of a bump/creak  and just not working smoothly.  Is this a sign that it will be dying on me soon?  I don't want/can't afford to be stuck without.  Anyone have similar issues and how did you fix it or is it just time to invest in a new one.  This one is 3 years old.
sticking your neck out? i'm alone? your a friggin anonymous poster on an MT board not CIA.
How do you know I am STILL (caps lady MQ apologist strikes again?) alone? Truth be told, you don't know anything and are whistling in the dark using bunches of words that say nothing and pretending you know something, which you obviously do not. You are scary.
where did you buy your transcriber....

Where? How much? What to look for?


Any help is great!


Transcriber--which is best?

Hello--I am getting ready to graduate from MT school and am researching transcription equipment.  Can anybody give me some advice about which brands are the best?  I don't need a top of the line machine, but I definitely want something that works well and that I won't have to replace in a couple of months.  Also, while I'm researching all transcribers, I'm also very interested in digital transcribers.  Thank you!


DA-128 transcriber
Does anyone know what button gets the demographics to play.  I haved tried them all and am ready to give it a heave.  No info on the net anywhere other than the price of the thing.  Any help is GREATLY appreciated.  Suppose to be starting a new job and can't get the demographics to play.  Thanks in advance.
OM's transcriber
headset is all I ever use. The brand is Panasonic RP-EP110 microcassette transcriber headset. Just go to Officemax.com and you can find them under "transcribers".
Do you have a tape transcriber, or does it have to be
voice files?  I have some practice dictation minicassette tapes here that I'd be willing to send you.  As for the voice files, you could try Google searching.  I typed in "medical transcription" practice sound files download   but don't really have time to search through the results.  I don't even know if there's anything out there.
Ever heard of this transcriber?
Has anyone ever used/heard of a Digital Voice Model DVI-115 work station C-phone? It was just shipped to me for a new acct I am starting and I have looked and looked on the web and can't find a manual. Can't really even seem to find this machine anywhere. Thanks
software and transcriber
1. Has anyone used the Instant Text V Pro software?
2. I want to purchase a digital transcriber. Does anyone have a favorite to recommend?
Lanier transcriber - the best!.....nm

Cheaper to buy transcriber?
If he is doing tapes it might be cheaper to go on E-Bay and buy a transcriber than everything that is needed to transfer over to digitial files as well as the time it will take.   If he does micro tapes you can pick up an Olympus Pearlcorder for under $75 on E-Bay and I have always had good luck.  
I use a Lanier transcriber but the MDs I think

Need transcriber unit
You need a transcribing unit that has a pedal that comes with it.  Your digital pedal will not work.  Depends on size of tape -- micro, mini or standard. 
All N One Wave Transcriber
Thanks for the advice. After using the 30-day free trial I found on a web site I've decided to stick with Digital Voice Editor (FS85USB). I don't like the pedal nearly as much but I guess I can live with it because the software is excellent. The All N One is okay, the other is just better. Thanks though. I appreciate it.
My current transcriber I bought from
this site. It appeared brand new, and I paid about half of what a new one costs at an office supply store. I'm sure they are available on e-bay as well. Mine is a Panasonic minicassette, which is my brand of choice (more control over the dictation than some of the others I've tried), although I've seen it posted more than once on this site that Lanier is the best, but way more expensive.
Transcriber is a piece of equipment.

I have Lanier transcriber-nothing like C-phone
I have a Lanier transcriber that I pop small tapes in to transcribe.  But Lanier is a huge company that has branched out into other areas.......but the transcriber is NOTHING like a C-phone.
What is the best micro-cassette transcriber? SM
Believe it or not, some docs still use tapes.  I have a Sony transcriber but the tape fades in and out.  If I let off the foot pedal and then play again, the tape will get louder and clear and then gradually fade again.  It's really annoying and I'm thinking it's the transcriber.  Is there a machine out there that will play a tape with more clarity and consistency?
I have a Panasonic transcriber, if you need one. Send
me an email if you are interested in purchasing it.  Includes foot pedal.
Any opinions on All N One Wave Transcriber?
I am looking for a new transcriber software kit.  The All N One Wave Transcriber by Martel Electronics looks good but they don't have a free trial download.  I don't want to buy without knowing anything about it.  I need something that I can see all the files that have been downloaded to me and that I can listen to and name file by file.  I have a doctor that many times does not complete the dictation in one sitting - may continue it days later.  I need to be able to search through files to see if I have the continuations or not.  Most, from what I have found, don't have this option.  I have Sony's Digital Voice Editor and love it but really dislike the pedal so am trying to find something similar in another software. Does anyone out there have experience with this software and pedal (All N One)?  Thanks in advance for any advice.
FYI, did you know that a transcriber is a machine and a transcriptionist is a person?

Need a C-phone for work. Can I use a digital transcriber sm

I have 2 digital work stations.  One is Bytescribe call-in system.  The other is Philips station.  Neither have the actual phone part that you pick up.  I can call in to different numbers to get work.  Does anyone know if this will work?  I need a "C-phone" to get work for a new job, and I don't know if I should buy one or what.  I posted before, but no one answered.  Just thought I'd try and ask again.  Thanks.


AC adapter for D-Light digital transcriber?
I have an old D-Light machine that I need to put back into use. Have misplaced the AC adapter. Does anyone know what type of AC adapter it uses?

Thanks!
I use a Lanier transcriber - they cost TONS

eBay comes to mind - and what the other poster said about contacting Lanier for a used one.  As I know it, a new one is about $600 (?), Lanier being the BEST transcriber around, JMHO


.......with ebay though you have to be very careful. 


Sony M2000 transcriber question
Just bought a Sony M2000 microcassette transcriber from Goodwill for $6.99 with all accessories.  (buy of the year!!)  Can someone tell me how to erase tapes?  I currently use a Panasonic, so I'm not quite sure how it works.  I'm sure the answer is right in front of my eyes.  Thanks alot!!
