Vianeta is a company, too. Our MTSO paid Vianeta to use their platform.

Vianeta
Are you with InterPro or another company? I have experience with Vianeta.
Vianeta bad, bad sm
I am currently working Vianeta. My line count has NEVER worked. I MT and edit. To get line count I have to paste finished document onto a blank Word document. Then I can use Word's counter to get a line count. I have to do this with EVERY job if I want any idea what my count is. Very time consuming. If I leave the Vianeta window open for a certain amount of time without actually working in it, it does all kinds of strange things so I have to exit and re-enter to straighten things out. Also, I you accidently u/l job before you are ready, too bad. You have to try to find someone who can retrieve it for you, hopefull before the client gets it. My other job is a Word based platorm. I d/l into a folder and when I want to send it off, I u/l from the same folder. Also, their spell check is HORRIBLE. That is another reason I d/l onto a Word doc, so I can use Work spell check. I didn't realize what a pain Vianeta actually is until I wrote this.

No to the recruiter question. Just somebody who has been using the platform exclusively for three years, trying to share my experience with it in response to the original post. No hidden agenda and no commercial audition.
With that said, it might be useful to try to figure out why there seem to be such diverse opinions and experiences with the platform. I agree with anon3 that it is bizarre and that part of the answer must be that different companies use the system in different ways...especially when access to line count and productivity information is involved.
I first started typing on Vianeta 3 years ago on an earlier version which earned my same praise. The update came along 1-1/2 years ago. There could be obsolete versions out there still in use, who knows? Don't know the earlier version number, but the current server I use is version 5.2.0.12. That information appears in very small print on the top left corner or my job explorer screen.
In any case, as soon as you log into Vianeta on my platform the job explorer comes up. Your queue is there immediately with jobs waiting, job#, dictator#, time dictated, priority status all clearly indicated. All this info is already on your report when you bring it up, along with patient demo info. To feed the reports completely into a 4-report queue takes about 3 seconds. To me, that's pretty fast. Once they are there, when you sign a job off, another job takes its place with no waiting time whatsoever.
On the queue screen at the top, I have options such as working on line (active transcribing and transmitting) or off line. This is specifically useful when all you want to do is check your line count or review your production for the ongoing pay period, current month or current and previous month...all readily accessible information. There are also log out, assign job, split job (for batch dictations) change job info (when the MD enters the wrong report info) options...all taken care of in a very minimal amount of time, I might add.
Another option is to type from the Job Explorer (which is what my commpany uses) or from the transcribe station which I have never used. To the side of the queue there is a Nav bar which gives you Job Explorer/Transcribe station choice on the top...and to the bottom you find a report tab. Click on that, then another block comes up on the nav bar for productivity feedback which I click again.
Once I enter that, I am given a choice to either generate a graph report (which I do after almost every report if I want to) or I can get it to download the more detailed report which I save to a word document. I do that if I suspect a report is missing, it helps me track it down. That report usually has a list of the last 2 or 3 days of reports, job numbers, sign-off time and line count.
When you enter a report, your demo screen with all the information already showing n the report if the doctor has entered the MR# correctly. If you have to look up patient or doctor info, send cc to other doctors or leave QA flags it is done from that screen. You can search the patient data base and the MD roster a number of ways. There is even a sound's like feature in the MD roster data base.
I find the patient info data to be almost 100% reliable and the MD roster data to be about 95% reliable. It certainly helps me cut down a lot of time searching MD lists elsewhere. The ONLY bone I have to pick with that place is that the MD specialty does not show, but you can search the roster by first name, last name, specialty and hospital.
Once the missing info is found, I double click the bar and it is automatically transferred to the demo screen and onto the report...no typing involved.
The word processing features of the system are excellent, Word based...but can be set for WordPerfect formats and others. The spell check is excellent help....especially in distinguishing between generic and name brand drugs. It can be modified and added very easily.
If you don't have those features then you are not on the same Vianeta platform. One last thing. I remember when I hired that my TM told me they never use the transcriber station because it is so cumbersome.
Vianeta
We obvious have a difference between companies. My Vianeta has maybe 1 in 4 medications that it will pick up. Transpose two letters in a work and most of the time it will miss that.
We will be using Vianeta soon. It has already been sm
tested by several MT's, who just love it and have been able to increase their line count. How amazing!!!!
PS
Probably why Busy MT got out while the going was good.
Vianeta-THanks...can you tell me more
MT friendly, fast, pros and cons. TIA.
Its Vianeta (nm)
Vianeta
Has anyone worked for a company that used Vianeta software. If so can you tell me a little about it.
vianeta and IP
Amen to that, adios, hasta LA vista....too many other places to work. who needs the headaches that they have, and they have many, thats for sure.
they use Vianeta too
The up side: I liked the Vianeta platform. Nice people. They left me alone (that's the way I like it) but I was IC...employee status could be different. I never had any QA hassles and enjoyed flexibility. Trained on as many accounts as I needed to stay busy. Never ran out of work. I could work as much or as little as I wanted. Line rate was decent (10 cpl, including shift differential for evenings).
The down side: First year or so was good, but eventually ended up with so many TERRIBLE ESLs (some were downright impossible), no matter how hard I worked, could not pay the bills. You may get lucky if you can manage to dodge those accounts.
Might be worth a try. Good luck to you with whatever you decide.
when docs give mtso a check, then mtso pays you?

Question about Vianeta. sm
Anyone use or has currently use this awful software? I just started a job using it and my line counts are SO LOW!!!!! When I compared the line count in other programs, it is just not right! I don't think I will be with this particular company long at all.
Vianeta = Crap

VIANETA PLATFORM-DO YOU LIKE?
Anyone have experience with this platform? TIA.
vianeta users
Anyone out there know of MTSO's using Vianeta and need out?
Vianeta is a little flaky, sm
but is really easy to use. This particular company, from what I have read over the past few days, is not something I would want to get involved with.
Response ria Vianeta below. sm
It is a total platform. It works differently on different company systems. Overall it is good, but it can cut out a lot. Word clone. Not hard to get used to.
Vianeta Platform
Can anyone provide any insight to the Vianeta Platform? Any info appreciated!
TIA
I used Vianeta at 2 different companies.
One job you couldn't do line counts, the other company you could, using a different program. Both companies Vianeta spellcheck so bad, had to copy to a Word document and use my own spellcheck. This is what the companies told us to do!
Vianeta was awful...
They still had Vianeta when I left, also another bad platform. The person who you were referring to as the sister (will not name) has been in and out of the office because of the issues you mentioned. I liked her, but the day I had my interview she was screaming at someone over the phone and I almost did not take the job there because of it! I think it is a good company for MTs because of the pay, if you can get an account that has good work on it.
How bizarre! Vianeta was the previous sm
platform used by my employer. I actually liked it. There were some days when it was slow, but overall I would not be afraid to use it. Different companies use it, so it must be tweaked for the individual companies I would imagine. 
How is Vianeta platform like to work on?
zz
I like Vianeta. Easy to use and fast.
Good support with my co
Any thoughts on Vianeta Platform
Please give opinions on Vianeta Platform. Does it give you good line counts.
I used to work for a company who had Vianeta.
The platform was pretty good for me. All the DI screen info was filled in for you, and you just added the date of service. It was nice...compared to where I am working now where I have endless areas to fill in. Blech! I liked Vianeta!
Vianeta question on tech board. TIA. nm
xx
I used Vianeta at good old Interpro Transcription (sm)
and the platform was horrible - nothing but problems - but Tech Support was excellent!! The platform did not work with Windows 98 ME, for me (about 2-3 years ago), plus the line counts were inaccurat. Actually, I believe Interpro's line count was inaccurate - a separate issue. I got to the point where I copied every single report to Word and used another line counter (Sylvan ?), but every check I received from Interpro was underpaid by $50+.
Vianeta also bad spellchecker. Were told to type
x
I did not work for Spheris when I used Vianeta. It was a differenc company. nm
:+
Using Vianeta to do our work is comparable to eating soup with a fork!
f
Their last job opening on the other board isn't dated. They were using Vianeta &Arrendale? soft
s
Isn't she an MTSO owner - which MTSO ? Just curious. n/mnn
nnnn
Is Transliterator a recuiter for a company using VIaneta? Her post sounds like a commercial.
:}
Got a news alert today that Spheris bought Vianeta company. nm
nm
I worked for a different company using Vianeta and could never access line counts. Was also told it
:+
MTSO
New here. What does MTSO stand for? Thanks
Looking for an MTSO where I can do mostly ops.nm

Better MTSO
I would contribute myself. Sorry to sound conceited, but I'm really good at my job - and I want to work with other people who are good at it, too.
I think that the MTSO can
anonymously or pseudonymously respond with line rate range info to provide general info to the posters.
Another MTSO here
Feeling just like you. Look at the ones who complain about working weekends - how many medical professionals do you know that don't have to work weekends? Why are they in this field if they don't want to work weekends? It's a pity trip. How about working in retail or restaurants?? You want a 9-5 job, go get it, away from home of course.
Would like to talk privately but I don't spend much time on this board and don't really know how to do so. Let me know if you do!
To MTSO - sm
I don't fish, so I don't know what you are smelling, but perhaps something from your personality? I have posted this before, and will continue to do so, as IT DID HAPPEN to me, IT IS THE TRUTH, and I have no reason whatsoever to lie. I want the original poster to know what can happen if she gets
hired by Keystrokes. I want others to benefit from my hiring experience so they don't have to go through what I went through. If my posts are so distasteful to you, do not read them. Your attitude in your posts leaves much to be desired as MTSO...wish I knew your company so that I never cross your path. Perhaps someone posted the truth about your company once too often?
MTSO
Not all MTs are employees. There are ICs and there is a difference.
To: MTSO
Many of the MTs who send that great looking resume' with what appears to be a solid work history...are totally bogus. They may have worked for company x, x, x, x, and x in the last five years, yet they condense and fudge to make it looks like they only worked for company x, and x in the last five years. Many MTSOs don't take the time to check. If the MT passes the test...the MTSO is usually so desperate to get somebody in to work, they hire them without checking.
Also, many claim that they job hop because a company runs out of work....guess what? This happens at almost every MTSO, so instead of quitting only to find yourself in the same situation a few months later, get a second part time IC job to fill in the gaps.
MDI, anybody know how big this MTSO
is and how many MTs they have? Does any body know if it is IC or employee status?
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Does your MTSO allow you to use your own
I'm torn on this issue. My company has just strictly forbidden us to use normals unless they were created by the client, since apparently some MT's have left text in the document in error by not editing correctly. I can see how this causes a serious QA issue, but I can also see that my pay just got cut seriously yet again by not being able to use them.
So, what' s the answer here? How does your MTSO handle normals/standards, and what happens if you make an error with one?
To MTSO
At the risk of causing a stir, I am curious about your comment that no serious MTSO would hire a PCDI grad. I am the poster titled Another PCDI grad right below this post. Again, I state that I do not believe it is all about the school, I believe the person and the determination has a lot to do with how far you can go. I feel very comfortable with the 2 jobs I have. I also know that I am not the only PCDI grad with a job. I truly wish that more people would stop looking at just the school, and start looking at the person, because there are all types.
mtso
If I may ask, what does MTSO stand for? Thank you!
What is MTSO?
nth
Well, that's why you are the MTSO and we are the
MTs!! Its your responsibility to divide up the work, and sorry, but most MTSOs I have dealt with have asked me to commit to XX amount of work. They know full well that is all I can handle due to MY other commitments, yet the MTSOs are more than happy to have me at my commitment of XX. That is OUR agreement. I am an IC and on my own. So it is not my problem if Sally has an earache or Dr. Jones has extra work. That is YOUR problem. MTSOs should ASK if we can handle more due to the above situation, but when MTs get dumped on with 2 or 3 times the amount of the agreement, it is WRONG, and very frustrating for the MTs. Thus why most quit and move on to a MTSO who will keep the agreement. Its only common sense, really. Which seems to be a lot to ask for in this day and age.
Top 5 MTSO
Cymed advertises as the 3rd largest for domestic MTs. Not sure how you would verify that though.
