Boosting volume of a very whispery dictator! - dc


Posted: Sep 12, 2012

I read on this website some time ago and there was talk about a piece of hardware you could connect to your computer that would boost the volume and I think it was called "boost or booster."  If anyone knows of this device I would love to get one.  Anyone remember what it was called or where I can get one?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Boostaroo? Boosteroo? - Not sure of spelling-nm

I use a Boostaroo, and it's a great help! Just got it about a month ago and sure wish I'd known about it years ago.

Where did you get yours and do you remember how much it was. Money is really tight right now, but I could sure use a "boost!" Ha!

You can get just the plain amplifier (without headset, etc) to plug into your speaker headset for $29.99. I think this is the least expensive unit they have there:

Really worth it IMO. :-)

I run my sound through my radio. Crank that baby up and you could probably - hear whisper-wips where you are. nm

And the clients or MTSOs should pay for it since they won't correct the problem.

Bayscribe - Is There A Volume Booster?
Jul 10, 2011

I always seem to have issues with being able to get the audio up to a comfortable volume on the Bayscribe platform.  I don't think it's an issue with my computer, as my other platforms have volumes that are just fine. Is there a volume booster somewhere on Bayscribe besides the obvious up and down button on the audio player that I'm overlooking?  I have all the settings up to maximum on my computer as well as having the audio player volume all the way up to no avail. TIA t ...


Can You Increase Volume In Emdat
Jul 26, 2011

My Emdat voice quality has been very low recently.  Unfortunately my ear phone cord broke and I ordered new earphones but it's just a whisper.  I've increased the volume button on Emdat, but wondered if there is a way to increase the volume otherwise.  I've done everything on my computer to make the volume loud but it doesn't work. I just ordered a new 2nd set of earphones along with a volume increase thing from Amazon and was so excited to get it in today.&nb ...


Increase Dictation Volume?
Jul 24, 2012

Is there anything at all I can do to increase the dictation sound volume when I get these whisperers or people using cell phones, etc, and I can hardly hear them?  I guess some of them are just sitting too far away from the dictating equipment, but they are never going to change.  They are always going to be barely audible. Is there anything I can do or buy to amplify the sound with these dictators?  I already have my computer and speakers set on the highest volume.  I' ...

Computer Volume Control Boost. This May Help A Little
Apr 21, 2015

I have a Boostaroo and it muffles the audio when I turn it up on my headset.  Some of these dictators go back and forth in volume and I have caught several mistakes I made on deciding what I hear.   This simple Windows function might help some of you, I noticed a small difference right away. I am also looking into an app to download as I don't have room for a set of speakers up on my work area to plug headset into.   I am going to research more on this with  l ...

I Clearly Hear The Dictator Say
Jan 26, 2010

Coumadin 30 mg per day. Now, I want to make sure I'm not dreaming here, but that is completely incorrect, right? Maybe I'm having a brain lapse (been an MT for 20 years) but I want to make sure my thinking is correct that this dosage would probably be lethal? I'm going to leave a blank for the dosage, but I just wanted to double check with my MT friends.  I have listened to it many times, and she is positively saying "30 mg per day."   TIA!! ...
