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.

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

That's bizarre....
How odd that she would go through the trouble to take, save and send you a screen shot but apparently is reluctant to either forward you the suspect resignation or even to check for the IP information so that it can be traced. Sounds like TH is covering somebody's backside, if not her own, then someone's.
Keep us posted on what you find out. I cannot figure out how someone with nothing to hide would refuse to cooperate. If I were TH, I'd be furious that one of my MTs would stoop so low as to try to pull such an underhanded stunt and would stop at nothing to find out just exactly who was behind it.
what bizarre post are you referring to? sm
guess I missed it
That was a bizarre post. Sounded like someone
with a vendetta. I haven't seen anything like that at Webmedx. They should go after that poster for libel. Good company.
Not bizarre at all, and chances are, this person isn't living in the US. sm
A lot of the offshore companies front a business here but they are actually in India or Pakistan or whatever. Of course, they never tell you that.
Anyone else apply at ATS for an orthopedic MT position and get this bizarre,
obviously form letter that you did not have enough experience, even though you have over 15 years of MT experience, with over 10 of that doing orthopedics. I think it is pretty lame to send out an inappropriate form letter that is way off the mark. Tell me you've filled the position or just not interested but do NOT bother telling me that I do not have enough experience. Of course, I had to ask them, Just how much experience were you looking for, 10 years is not enough? Sometimes, this business scares me. I was just curious as to whether anyone else got this bizarre form letter when they applied.
Transam associates - Bizarre incidence
I received an offer from Transam associates and tested with their sample dictation (I thought it was weird because I could not use my foot pedal but write what I heard on paper and type it down). Before realizing my mistake, I accidentally pasted my confidentiality email footer and sent it. My clipboard messed up and I pasted the wrong thing (scatterbrained I know). A few minutes later I receive an email that I did great on the test and it was a true representation of my work. What in the world? Is this just an automated response to everyone. Are they a scam?
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.
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!
Anyone know of any MTSO's using Vianeta
Anyone out there know of any MTSO's using Vianeta software? Could you let me know?
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 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

Previous employee
The pay is HORRIBLE!!!!
previous message said, you have
to go their to train, etc.
I should have said, you have to go there to train, etc. I think that is what the sheesh was about.
I did for about a day at one of my previous jobs. sm
My employer insisted on having it installed even though I already had cable internet. It was SO slow, unbelievably slow. I had to wait for the typing to catch up. If it's the only thing you can get, that's one thing -- but if you can get DSL or cable, don't do ISDN. A couple girls at my previous job still have it out of necessity, but I hated it.
Previous employee
I did not like it at all. I did not like their supervisor. She was always on vacation taking cruises, etc. I do not like MT World software. I also do not like typing pools.
Previous employee!
Is there any possible way we can corresponsd via email?
This is exactly what a previous poster was
talking about. These companies hold the contract over your head as use them as a scare tactic. Most of us are doing this to make money to pay bills, help our kids, etc. and I'll be damned if they are going to dictate to me how much money I can make when an opportunity comes along to work part time with more money.
Previous post
Attention to administrator.. Please remove my full name from the post I just put up. It should only have the initials JMD rather than a full name

Thanks for the info. !
Did you have previous insurance before? sm
Maybe I am not understanding, but I just got Blue Cross and they tried the 12 month wait on me too and would not cover a scan. When they found out I had no lapse in coverage with my previous insurance that I had before starting with them then they dropped the 12 month wait on me. So I am wondering if you had insurance up until before you got Blue Cross and if this would apply to you. 
Previous post
It is CMTI or Certified Medical Transcription Inc out of Florida -- sorry I omitted, but was really tired last night due to the heat here.
And according to previous employees .... sm
That is if you are lucky enough to actually receive a pay check from the company for work completed. 
might as well stay at your previous job
I ran out of work on my third day here. I'm extremely disappointed. I left my last job due to lack of work, and then I come here with high hopes and poof - I run out of work. I may see about returning to my previous employer.
previous email
There was a previous email by the owner earlier this summer in which she said May was the lightest month of dictation in probably the history of the company. I'm assuming other months recently have been light, too (economy?, split contracts with another company?), but it would be appreciated to have that addressed directly.
Um, that's exactly what was said in the previous post. nm
