Olympus recorder from doc , and I am old and dumb. - Oldie


Posted: Nov 25, 2013

I recently heard from a local MD asking me to do work, said he was going to buy a tape recorder.  Okay, I get my trusty old equipment out.  Now he calls and says he has bought an Olympus VN 702PC.  I googled it hoping to figure it out, called my more literate son who says I can just use it with forward and pause buttons OR I can connect it to my computer with a USB cord and, "Mom, all you do is open the folder you want and click........."  Of course, I haven't a clue.  Can somebody break it down into Dick and Jane so I will know what I'm doing?  I Know this is asking a lot, but I would really appreciate any help you might give me.

Has he given you the recorder to transcribe from? - nm

You can review this site and it may help you understand the recorder a little bit better. http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_support_faqs.asp?id=1605.
I use Olympus DS4000 which also has a transcription program Olympus TS4000. The doctor emails me the encripted file and then I decrypt it, transcribe it and email back to him. If he can transfer the dictation to you using the USB cord, then email to you encrypted, perhaps you can decrypt it using the same program I have. The software to download the Olympus transcription software is free to download and you can find it here. http://olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/software_results.asp?id=1179&os=w

MD Using Sony IC Recorder. How To Transcribe From It?
Aug 10, 2013

I'm picking up some work for a MD that uses a Sony PX312 IC recorder. I'll be doing the work in-house for him but have to figure out how to go about doing this. I have a USB foot pedal that I can plug into his PC but how do I get the audio to work with my foot pedal? I'm thinking that I'll probably have to load the IC files to the PC, then transfer them to an audio player (express scribe?) then play them from there. I've always done this work from home where the files w ...

Okay, friends.. this is my question. The doc I work for changed to this kind of recorder.  He sends me files via email and I download them... normally into Express Scribe.  Every once in a while, he will send me a voice file that has a *click* sound and I cannot hear him.  I found a program using express zip file compression software.  I can make them play, but I cannot use my foot pedal.... any thoughts?  Or, do you know of any program that I could download and/or buy ...

So I Did Something Dumb

I took a job with DIT transcription.  I know. My thinking was that I could get some experience to take elsewhere because they were the only company that would hire me, and most companies clearly state that you need "on the job experience." Well, I'm getting nervous after reading all these posts about them, and I was wondering.. Does anyone have any advice on how to get work with little experience? Like, any companies that let you take a test to see how well you do or anything like that ...

I have seen so many posts on here asking the question of which companies provide computers and I wonder why people don't have their own computer and need one provided.  If it's a matter of "finances," there are many options available to get your own computer; rent to own, or even places like QVC or HSN.  They offer payment plans and you can pay with either a credit card or a debit card.  I recently got a VERY nice laptop from QVC and am making payments on it in the area ...

Dec 25, 2012

So in working on getting my own clients, questions keep coming up in my mind. Here's today's: How do you charge for CCs if the doc requests one be sent to another doc? Or is this something that is done on their office end? I'm planning on a call-in service that also allows handhelds, so it will have the FTP system in place, if that matters in answering the question. After working for large MTSOs, I'm having a hard time "picturing" things in motion. Thank you so much f ...
