Lanier call-in system (sm) - billie


Posted: Dec 20, 2010

Considering a job with an MTSO that uses Lanier call-in system.  I am not familiar with this at all.  Can anyone give me the pros and cons of using Lanier?  Is the voice quality better or worse?  Hard to use?  Would I have to buy special equipment?  I would appreciate any info.  

FYI:  I found this out on a "Geektech" board tonight.  They were talking about different digital voice/music files and he was saying wav files are much better quality than MP3 files.  Wav files are uncompressed and lossless while MP3 files are compressed and lose some of the quality. 

 

Lanier - none

The lanier is out-dated and hopefully the company supplies the equip to you. All you need is a phone line (probably unlimited long distance). It is pretty easy to use

agree that Lanier is outdated. but very easy to use. I posted a couple of weeks ago on tech board about Lanier, and nobody responded, which verifies that this is OLD!!! I have a Lanier that I purchased for my job. I would love to find another job that uses this system, as it is rock solid, dependable, easy to use and voice quality is EXCELLENT! Am glad to know that companies are still using this and are hiring.

Call-in Dictation System
Feb 02, 2011

I have never used a call-in dictation system before, but one of the offices we transcribe for is requesting that I get a system. I have looked at several systems, Dial Dictate, DigItel, and others. I cannot understand the language and can't figure out how much it would actually cost and how it works, etc. I do not want to have to get extra phone land lines. I would like it to record into the computer. VoIP or something like that, I think. Can anyone point me anywhere where I might get an ex ...


Lanier LX 219 Help
Dec 20, 2011

My company has recently taken on an account which requires me to use a Lanier LX219 transciption station. I received it and hooked it up. I am able to dial in and access the voice files; however, the foot pedal is not working correctly. When I step on the foot pedal, the audio begins to plan correctly; however, when I remove my foot from the pedal, the audio continues straight to the end of file and I cannot stop it. It then simply begins to start again from the beginning of the file and play ...

Hello, Just wondering if anyone knows if a Lanier Voice Writer requires landline? Will it work on a digital connection?

Hello!  I use Lanier to transcribe and need a landline to do so.  I also need to be out of town for family for a few days but will still be required to work.  My only option where I'm staying is the use of the MagicJack.  I don't know much about this.  I know the family I'm staying with uses it as their only landline "service" and it's unlimited long distance.   Does anyone know if I will be able to successfully plug my Lanier machine into t ...

I am not sure which area to put this, as it isn't technical assistance I need, so I've put it here on the main board. I receive my work through a Lanier station.  I have been through the ringer with my telephone service provider a few years ago and was eventually told that if I ever dial the number again I would be black listed and never be able to have any service from that company again (Windstream in 2007).  I was eventually able to get in touch with the higher ups a ...

Why Do MTSO Advertise, But Never Call Or If They Do Call, Nothing.
Feb 20, 2012

I am tired and frustrated from applying and sending out resumes only to be ignored.  It is like a game with them, I think.  MedGarde even has an interview which has absolutely nothing to do with your skills or qualifications.  In fact it seems like psychological testing to see if you are mentally competent or something like that.  I swear I feel like a mouse that is being tested and run through a maze to see how well you perform, but even mice will get the prize or food event ...


Reporting Time Pay Aka On Call Or Call-in Pay
May 08, 2015

I am considering requesting this pay which (depending on the state) considers us to be on-call and must be paid for part of our shift if no work. I have had it up to here with Nuance and running out of work, adding more and more accounts and STILL no work. Got a second job and STILL being screwed by Nuance in the sense that I cannot rely on my first job (income wise), because when there is enough work they manage to screw my cpl with their lovely FIESA, then as soon as I have no errors the work ...

beyond repair.  We let it go on far too long, the abuses.  The lawsuit will help, but it is not enough, and it will take too long. I shouldn't be complaining about making minimum wage or less than minimum wage or be bullied into changing my timesheet.  I shouldn't have to see any posts on here telling me I must be a bad MT if I only make minimum wage.   I have spyware loaded onto my computer that watches me.  Something is not right here folks.   ...
