How old is the C-phone? Have you checked to see if all of the wires are in working order? I have had this happen in the past and had to replace the wire that connects the C-phone to the phone jack. Also, if there have been a lot of snags in the wires in general, it can create static. I worked on a C-phone for approximately eight years, and I really feel for you. Is it an actual Dictaphone C-phone or one of the other brands?
The account I currently work on uses Speech Motion platform with M Modal. There is so much static I have trouble figuring out what they are dictating. Does anyone have a solution to this problem. I use Bose noise cancelling headphones and Sound Blaster. If I turn up the volume it only makes it worse...and I can't hear over the static. Does anyone have a solution to this problem. Thanks for your help. ...
My issues started Sunday before I upgraded, when the same problems came up, document extremely slow, lost some Command Key functions, tortuous work. After I upgraded, this stopped. But M/T/W the sound quality was bad, terrible on a few jobs but I tolerated it, until Wed when ithat's all I seemed to get, loud old phone-line bad connection clicking, voices trailing off on each word, had a dickens of a time filling in all the blanks, 1 report for 1 hour, the others about 3/4 hour e ...
I am thinking about switching my current phone line and going with a bundle deal for our second house. Does Dictaphone C-phone work through a cable phone line? I still have the copper wiring at my primary home because I was afraid to switch it so didn't include the phone service in our cable package there. Thanks!

Anyone know if the C-phone will work with a digital phone line ? (I think it's also called a VOiP line). I'm moving to a new place that has a digital line & don't know if I should have a regular phone line installed instead.
Thanks for any help. ...

Anyone know how to adjust the backspace control for how much it rewinds after you lift the pedal? Right now, it goes back about a sentence at a time. I'd like to be able to adjust it to go back just a word or two.
On older versions of the phone, there used to be a dial on the bottom of the phone for this, but the one I'm using now doesn't have this feature. ...
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 ...
Hi,
This is probably a stupid question, but I'm not a technical person so need some advice. I need a landline to hook up a C-phone. I am thinking my house phone is a landline, but hubby says no. 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 ...

PLEASE HELP. I know each person you work for has different codes they program into their C-phone....

If anyone has these similar codes and knows what one slows down speed PLEASE let me know

I have been asked to cover an account that uses either a C-phone or DAC transcription station. Can you speed up and slow down the voice on these systems? I used to use a C-phones years ago and I remember that pressing the key 8 mulitple times would slow down the dictation and pressing the key 6 multiple times would speed up the dication. Do the newer DAC or C-phones still have this option? ...
Hi, Just got a c-phone and not sure how to get it all hooked up. I can call the company but that is about all - can't get the voice through the headphones or the foot pedal to work. Does anyone have a copy of the instruction manual for the Dictaphone C-phone model 0421? Don't have the money to buy one and would really appreciate help with this!
Thanks. ...
I worked for Nuance for a very short period of time. Long enough to get the MUP email... which I took screenshots of and saved to my computer. He was very interested in them and asked me if I would forward them to him. (You bet I did!) He's also interested in documentation regarding how much Nuance bought out Transcend for. I know there is an article on here somewhere (and I'll search for it), but if you have the link, please reply. (I'll get your answer via email.) I forgo ...
