C-Phone ? - caninemom3
Posted: May 10, 2012
Hi everyone.
I need to ask a question, which I realize is dumb but here goes. I see that on the jobs listing part of the site there are a couple of companies who require a C-phone. Can someone tell me what this is ?? At first I thought it meant cell phone but realized that can't be right. Thanks everyone for your patience. I guess it is showing that I am an "old school" transcriptionist and do not know anything about newer technology (if this is new).
Take care all xo

[ In Reply To ..]I saw that job listed.
I have a c-phone in my closet from years ago. It's a phone with buttons on it to access the transcription. You dial into their system. It requires a second line (or at least it used to). Haven't been on an account that uses a second line in years. With all the cuts in pay over the past couple of years, I certainly am NOT going to pay for a second line. I didn't apply for that job.

[ In Reply To ..]It's pretty obsolete technology, about 1990s. It's not unlike a Lanier system. You can find used C-phones but difficult to find anyone to repair one these days. Make sure they have an 800 number to dial into if you do decide to take it.
C-phone or Connexion phone - just me
[ In Reply To ..]Short for Connexion phone, these are basically a fancy phone system that with the attached foot pedal, allows you to transcribe and has a calculator etc., and can be used as a regular phone. While my new dictation system does not use this unfortunately, they are great. You can program in certain functions and shortcuts and have great sound quality. Also, they hold their value if you decide the job is not for you and you want to sell it. I still have 3 C-phones just in case. If you buy one used, please buy from a reputable seller and test it immediately. The best headset to use is the Dictaphone Deluxe Stereo headset, which allows you to hear significantly better for problematic dictation. I would hate to see you pass up what could possibly be a great opportunity just by the above poster. You never know how lucrative an account or job will be until you try it and stick with it for a while. Good luck.
C-Phone - anon
[ In Reply To ..]C-phone is a very old way of getting dictation. You have a device that sits on your desk and you listen through that. I probably would stay away from any company that still uses them. Sometimes they fax you patient lists, etc. needed for dictation.

We have charter, and the phone line we have goes into a modem which goes into the computer, and he says what is needed is for it to be able to hook into like a wall jack (or some type of something like a box on the wall). He did try to hook it up last night, and the ...
