I suppose all the work that is outsourced
Makes no sense.  What do they expect for 7-10 cpl?
C-phone - How do I get the headset to work?

Hi all!


My question is "When my C-phone call is connected what is the sequence of buttons that are pushed (in what order?) so that connecting my headset doesn't drop the call?"  I have a program button set up as #*11, as per the manual for my headset.  However, when my call is connected and I press speaker/mute and then the headset program key, or when I press the headset program key first, either way, my call gets disconnected.  Any thoughts of what I may be doing wrong?  Thanks so much!


what is that suppose to mean sm
about disabled people did not need to belong to AAMT? I hope that statement is why she is no longer there. I don't know what she had in mind as a "disability" and it does not matter, but there are foks with chronic illnesses who are "disabled" but can still work shorter hours etc. Good thing she is no longer with AAMT. What an idiot.
Maybe I'm not suppose to ask this, but....

Would anyone be willing to give me the ballpark range for what contractors charge their clients in Florida.....like 13-15 cpl.  Also anyone from California with the same information?


I am just starting out and I don't want to low-ball anyone!  Thanks!


and through all this where is AAMT who is suppose....sm
to be helping us... why their just making sure we have to buy their book ... what a crockapalosa!!
Oy. And I suppose it's verbatim.
So then you have to ask if you are supposed to leave the stoopid stuff in or take it out??


I suppose ignoring
such comments would be the best approach, but it gets extremely annoying to see these. And, sometimes people aren't aware of their own bad habits and brining it to their attention could help.

Sometimes not.
I suppose theoretically it's possible

If you're really fast and can average 300 lph or more and are making at least 10 cpl.


I hate to see them mislead people like that though.  It takes a long time to build up that kind of speed.  There are people on this board who say they can do it, though.


I just keep Norton I suppose and never checked into anything else.

Cannot believe that show is on A&E. Supposedly he is suppose to

Does anyone suppose that with all the advances in technology that
there might be some more companies willing to take those MT's who only have satellite in the future?  There are so few now.  Really limits a person's options.  Wadyathink? MTSO's - any response??
Misread the question I suppose. Sorry! Don't have a cow. nm

OOPS! This was suppose to answer

I mean, was it suppose to have a display? if so, then return it
nm
Yeah, and I suppose I probably offended
some newbies, too. I didn't mean to. I know what I was thinking in my head but I didn't communicate that in my message post.
And I suppose we shouldn't call murders such, huh? Or ...
sex offenders pedophiles...or adulterers cheaters...OH MY! We might be UGLY when we do it!

Go on now, and crawl back into your little fantasy world of how nice everyone should be. LOL GEeeeezzzzz.
it was a USPO MO, but it can't hurt to check I suppose, thanks for the tip. - nm

By today's appallingly lax MT standards, I suppose a few -
:D MT as a profession is turning into such a JOKE, isn't it?
I suppose given a choice I'll take DRUNK!

I suppose a good object lesson

would have been, just once, to type exactly what he said, down to every repetition.  Wouldn't if feel good do do that just one time?  I mean, it would be 'verbatim.'


Often I will go ahead and type both versions when someone keeps mis-speaking:  'The patient was brought to the ER by his friend, his girlfriend, his fiance.    He had onset of pain on Tuesday, or maybe Wednesday, Tuesday night or Wednesday morning....'  Hard to tell with some of these dictators what they are trying to change/add/subtract. 


So far there have been no QA repercussions over this.


PLEASE! Let's suppose a supervisor works an 8 hour day on and off. At home.
What does this supervisor do? So I have a supervisor now see. Every now and again I will get an e-mail that tells me account is behind or caught up. Not on a daily basis and sometimes not even on a weekly basis. Now besides looking into the computer to see account is behind or up to date, what does this supervisor do in the course of an on and off 8 hour day?

I am assuming this "supervisor" is not doing QA or anything, just supervising an account. So any questions regarding QA are sent off to QA personnel. So what questions can a supervisor have that would tie up their day? EIGHT HOURS of a working day doing what?
last post suppose to be ad, not as directed. Word expander was on.
Sorry.
On this new MQ rewards plan what exactly is it offering statutory employees and I suppose that that

is going to be the end of our quarterly bonus. My concern still is if there is no work how do you get any incentive if they lower the base rate. Sounds like employees will have a larger window to get their work done which means we all will be scrambling around for work at all hours.


And I suppose you're perfect in everything you do? No one was making light of the woman's sit

XP is probably pretty cheap now. Microsoft suppose to be coming out with new OS at end of year.

So you get a flash drive with voice files on it you are suppose to transcribe?

I'm trying to understand.  Do you save the transcribed reports on the same jump drive?  If that is the protocol, then wouldn't the MT before you typed any reports, then wouldn't they be saved to the flash drive?


If so, then you could open up the flash drive and if there are any Word files or text files, you open those up and see what they are.  If they are transcribed reports, write the patient's name down and don't transcribe those notes.


Whatever the case may be, I would absolutely tell the office manager or whoever you are meeting with that you will type everything on the flash drive and that you expect to be paid for everything you type.  You gave them freebies the last time and you're in this business to make money.


Need help with headset
My headphones are louder on one side than the other. I have tried different headphones, so I know it has to be the computer. Any ideas on how to change that? TIA!
actually it could be the headset as I have had this
happen before.  If the wiring in the headset gets messed up for some reason it can cause this.   Have you tried more than 1 headset? 
Headset
Hello, For excellent sound quality I would suggest the SPUSB headset which can be found on our website at www.tvps.com.
also....about the headset
I quit playing CDs on my computer because it was such a hassle to swap out the headset for the computer speakers. I had to pull the computer away from the wall and bend and stretch as far as I could and then use a flashlight to find the hole to change change them. Plus, I had very little slack in the headset because my hard drive sits on the floor. I solved 2 problems at once: I went to Radio Shack and bought an 6-foot extender for 7 bucks. One end fits into the back of the computer, and the headset attaches to the other end. Now I can even leave my headset on when I stand up at my desk to reach the very top shelf to reach some of my more obselete references. In addition, I just swap the headset cord for the speaker cord to play CDs. Makes me a happy camper for sure!

Please help... need to know where to buy a new headset as I lost the paperwork for this pair.. my ears are killing me!!!!  Help!!!


Headset
I have tried so many, and I think the absolute best headset is made by Lanier Healthcare.  They have been purchased by Medquist, and you can either go online or call 1-866-542-7253 to order one.  The clarity is wonderful and they are very comfortable.
Headset for MT
I have tried a few different brands, but out of all of them my Koss DC/10 is the best. Good quality sound, light and easy on my ears for comfort.
OM headset
Thanks for the help. I had tried transcriptiongear.com but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. If I can't get that particular one from OM I'll call customer support at transcriptiongear and talk to them. Thanks again!
headset....
Do you use an 'adapter' to connect your footpedal to the modem port? Sometimes this minimizes the volume.

You might try to install to install a soundblaster

Did you try transcriptiongear.com


or Google lanier headsets


 


Headset adapter
I have a stethoscope style Dictaphone headset with a dual-prong plug in.  I no longer need to use my C-phone, but love my headset, so I am looking for an adapter to make the dual-prong a standard single-prong plug in.  Dictaphone of course does not sell such a thing.  Does anyone have one and if so, where did you get it from?  Thanks!! :)
Looking to replace my headset.
I'd like to hear what everyone prefers for these.  I've tried all kinds but am not sure what I think are the "best."  I want good sound quality whether it's from my computer or C-phone and will be using them for both (unless I should have 2 different kinds).  At any rate, I'm curious what you all use or what you think are the absolute best.  Thanks.
Lanier Headset

Does anyone know where I can get a good price on a Lanier Stethoscope style headset (metal) - LX-10-35???   I have found these for $70, but maybe you might know of a better deal.   THANKS....


Usually when you plug in the headset
that automatically send the sound to the headphones instead of the speaker. This could be a DAC with a problem unless someone else knows a secret that I don't. Try a different headset and see if the results are the same.
Best place to buy headset

dictaphone headset
First hit top row keys, left(program), left again (keys), then select the key you wish to use from whatever is available.

Hit keys in this order: pound key (#); star key (*); 1; and 1.

Then hit the multiplication key (x) on the right, then the stop key at the bottom. I hope these instructions are clear enough.


I have never replaced my headset -

When I worked in someone else's office, rarely but occasionally a headset would/might break.  However, since being at home doing same work 10 years, I have never had to replace my headset (the one that came with a transcriber years ago); however, I have had to replace several transcribers over the MANY, MANY years and think I'm on my 3rd one now......finally got a Lanier (they are the best in my opinion for transcriber machines).



You would use the code *11 for the headset

Koss DC-10 Headset
Do any of you use the Koss DC-10 headset?  How is it?  I need to replace my headset and I want to invest in a good new one.  Can you tell me . . . are the ear inserts foam or a plastic-type material?  It is difficult to tell by the picture on the web-site I have looked at.   I perfer the plastic insert to foam.  :-) I think they last much longer and seem to block out the outside noise.  Your opinions please! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
New to WAV files. How do I use a headset..sm
and still be able to use my speakers?  I can hook a headset up to the back of my computer but it means disconnecting the speaker wire that goes to my speakers.  Is there some kind of splitter or connector or certain type headset or something I can use? 
speakers/headset
I have an extension i bought at radio shack and plug/unplug speakers/headset - makes it easier than getting to the rear of the computer. I've never seen a splitter - it would make sense!
Headset - what do you wear?
I just can't seem to find anything that I really like.  I want good sound quality (of course), not bulky, comfortable.  What do you like?
headset question
I hope this does not sound dumb, but does anyone know if there are headsets now that block out the background noise coming from the recording of the dictator?  I know there is BOS that takes care of surrounding noise of our environment but was wondering about the other.  Thank you. 
C-Phone Headset

Try re-programming it using one of the black buttons above the number pad.  I do not use the speaker/mute button for my headset but programmed it using the first black button at the top of the row on the left-hand side.  Try that and it should work without disconnecting you every time.  Hope that makes sense

HEADSET PROGRAMMING

Hit the program key at the top then keys, then pick the key you want then the code is #*11 then hit the select key and then stop key....good luck, I had this problem as well and do every now and then when I unplug my equipment.
