NetMed used Vianeta when I worked for them 4-5 years ago. sm
It is time consuming and not very easy to get from point A to point B. Whether or not they still use it, I don't know.
Had it and it worked okay but then suddenly stopped working
Found out every Transcriptionist using a C-phone had that problem. Magic Jack changed something one weekend about 1-1/2 to 2 months ago and it no longer works with a foot pedal.
Nope, I am working exactly the way I always have worked and I always am careful with my work but
lets face it the only way to be certain you are PERFECT is to relisten.
folders
There is the option to create new folders. I have made folders for everything I need in this new webmail program.
So, are you working for the same company. I have worked for 2 companies and I have noticed a huge
difference in the lines I got from each company. The accounts were similar. I never ever got what your talking about but I would average 600-700 lph at one company and the other one I was lucky to get 400 lph so then I figured out they didnt pay for spaces, footers, headers etc.. and that does factor into your line counts on that platform.
Downloading all folders...sm
The Olympus software that comes with the recorders always downloads every folder that has files in it, and you just need to make sure whatever file transfer method you use checks in all of the folders for new files.

You can copy all folders by
Right-clicking the Instant Text folder located in C: and selecting Send To whatever drive your flash drive is. The installer is not included in the main IT folder, just your glossaries and backup and stuff. You'd have to install IT on the other computer and then load the folders from your flash drive to the IT folder on the computer. I have my IT backed up with my flash drive but still need the CD to put IT on my home computer.
They did it just to annoy you and take away your folders and such. That was their whole plot!
Goodness. This never ends! MQ obviously was trying something they thought would work better, and it doesn't - YET. It will, though. It obviously has some major kinks, but its not a HUGE plot to ruin your productivity. Unbelievable. Guess the sun rises and sets on just you, huh? I am humbled...
but then again, your "empty folders" symptom doesn't really sound like a

Slow day for me. Typed two reports in two hours. Anyone else having unusually slow day?

Sten Tel in MA uses
I am having the same problems as listed above.
Sten-Tel does

Sten-Tel
Well! I screwed that one up pretty good - stuck my email in there, spelled a word wrong...LOLOL....just beautiful.....anyway, I do like Sten-Tel and they have been great to me so far!
Sten-Tel
I think the rate of pay for beginners is kind of low - I heard 3 cpl for VR/6 cpl for typing....I get a little higher pay because I had acute care. The platform is called Escription - very very easy.
Sten-Tel
I am a beginner and was just offered 7.75 cpl for transcription work and 3.75 cpl for editing. I think it depends on how you score. Just my opinion.
Sten-Tel
WOW - I'm sorry to hear that!! Sure sounds characteristic of this business, unfortunately. Thank you very much for the information. Please let me know if you think of anything else. 
Sten-Tel
7.5 cents a line is very good for a beginner. You should be lucky you got offered a position, since most companies want experience
Sten-Tel
Does anyone work for Sten-Tel who could help me out. This is my first day.
TIA
Tina
Sten-Tel
Mass.
Try Sten-Tel
They hire newbies. I can also email you some info.
Here's why I wouldn't use Sten-Tel
They also do transcription, which I believe to be a huge conflict of interest. I may be a bit paranoid, but if my clients ever figured out that they could use the same system and get cheaper services from the root company, what would keep them from ditching me and going with Sten-Tel?
If they are a reputable company I doubt that they would actually contact my clients directly, but you never know when your clients are going to decide to try and underbid you by going with a big company like this.
Try Sten Tel Transcription
Google them for their contact info.
No work at Sten Tel
 No work for weeks and nobody knows why (supposedly)........ ..................... ......................... ................... ............................. .................... That's ok...I'm gonna start testing elsewhere  . The pay stinks anyhow.
Love Sten-Tel
No line count required if an IC. So far they have been the best company I have ever worked for.
Sten-Tel out of Massachusetts
I'm looking for any information I can find out about Sten-Tel based out of Springfield, Massachusetts? Are ICs obligated to a set schedule, set number of hours/lines, etc. Do they have a lot of ESL dictators? How flexible are they?
Thanks tons!! I'll look forward to hearing from you.
Has anyone ever heard of Sten-Tel...
I tested and got accepted at 7.5 cpl but would like any info on the company and what they may be like to work for...
Sten-Tel question
Can anyone give me any info on working as IC for Sten-Tel - good or bad?
It depends on which Sten-tel. There are several of them.
I've worked for two of them. One was not very good but I was a newbie, so I tolerated it until finding something else. The other one was pretty good, but I had a better offer elsewhere so I wasn't even there a week.
Which one are you looking at?
Testing For Sten-Tel
Has anyone tested for Sten-Tel? The second test for acute care is like listening to a auctioneer!! Uggh...Has anyone actually passed this test?
Hugs to all!
Jen
Anyone work for Sten-Tel?
Do any of you work for Sten-Tel? I was thinking of accepting their offer, but could not find any recent posts about this company. Would appreciate any information what it is like to work for them.
Thanks! 
Sten-Tel Mass. - out of work?
Anyone else with Sten-tel on the ASP platform out of work or is it just me that is sitting here twiddling my thumbs?
VIANETA
I have used the product for years - word based - line count available for each document but not right away - uses Shorthand as expander. I think it is user-friendly.
Vianeta, sm
Line count is NOT always available with Vianeta. When I was at Interpro, they used Vianeta and you could not track line count with them. Also, once you sent the job on its way, it is gone, no way to get it back without going though a management person. The spell check was horrible. Also, with a program were you transfer the jobs into a folder to work from, you can work even if internet is down. With Vianeta, if internet was down, you didn't work. I would say Vianeta is NOT user friendly.
Vianeta
Not user-friendly.
Breaks down constantly.
Big piece of crap.
Vianeta
My Vianeta platform (version 5.2.0.12) and its earlier version came with Shorthand which I use constantly, of course. Don't know about any others. Also find the Vianeta (normals) template features (creation, insertion, revision) easy and helpful.
Vianeta
If you want to read a heated exchange regarding Vianeta, go to the company board and skip over to page 3 on 12/06/05 (toward the top of that page). You will see several versions of the spelling there so don't sweat the small stuff.
I was transliterator in that discussion....nearly got jumped for liking my own system. Got accused of being a recriter before it was all over. Follow the thread with this in mind: After all was said and done and the dust had settled on the name-calling and side-taking, we determined that the pro and con posters were using different versions of Vianeta.
In my last post (third from the bottom) I wrote quite a detailed dissertation on exactly what typing on my platform is like (version 5.2.0.12). Most definitely it is like Microsoft Word. I believe the productivity is honest. If you are responding to a current job listing for a Florida company that uses Vianeta, you will be using the same version of Vianeta that I am.
With regard to productivity, I know I noticed in some of the company's most recent ads, they were offering some account that actually paid for spaces. Mine Vianeta accounts don't, and that is becoming a real issue to me. I'm on IC and that particular issue may depend on whether or not you are hiring as FT...but I am only speculating on that.
Look before you leap and get that specific information nailed down up front.
Would appreciate any feedback you might have once you have read through that thread. Good luck with your decision.
vianeta
Had a problem downloading. The cause was too much junk on my computer. Ended up having to do restore which was not as bad a I originally thought. Sometimes this is the only resolution.
Vianeta
Any of out there tired of Vianeta try a new platform that actually work great, isn't run by a competing transcription company and is US owned and operated. www.transcriptiondigital.com
For those that use Vianeta
Are you speaking about the "shortcuts" built into Vianeta when you say "do you have to manually enter all that info or is it imported"?
vianeta
It's okay. Goes down a lot compared to other programs but usually goes right back up. A little annoying.
For those who LIKE Vianeta
Per prior post: I would like to hear from those MTs who have used this software and like working with it.
Vianeta
I have Vianeta based and I don't see a "tags" key at the bottom. Any other ideas? I can go in and remove the "ghost" space, but that is very time consuming because it happens on alot of them!!
Vianeta
Anyone with experience on this platform care to share the pros and cons, please.
Vianeta Platform
I am interested in the Vianeta Platform. Have any of you ever used this platform, and if so, can you enlighten me?
Problem with Vianeta
The IT guy for a MTSO tried installing it on my computer several times and it would not work. Never did figure it out.
Vianeta Users
I have read old posts from users who do not like Vianeta. I would like to hear from those MTs who have used this software and like working with it. Is it better since the new owners took over? Do you prefer Vianeta to any other software? What is your favorite feature? I am not a Vianeta representative, just interested in your opinion.
Thanks!

help with Vianeta and Shorthand
Not sure if this can be done or not but here goes. I use Vianeta platform for my work and also do other work in MS Word. My ShortHand file is incorporated into Vianeta platform so I do not have access to it when in MS Word (use auto correct). Is there anyway to copy Shorthand from the Vianeta platform and either put it in auto correct or another free word Expander program? Only legal ways please.
Can is use Vianeta and Bayscribe on same PC?
I'm going to be working for 2 separate MT companies very soon. One company uses Vianeta and the other uses Bayscribe. Does anyone know if there will be a conflict on my computer with 2 programs running at the same time? Each program uses a different foot pedal. 
Info about Vianeta software?
Is is user-friendly and productive. Is the line count available for each document. How is the spell check and abbreviation expander, or can you use your own. Is it word-based? Thanks
Problems downloading Vianeta...
Has anyone had problems trying to download the Vianeta program onto their computer? I have been at this for over 3 weeks and am now facing the prospect of having to do a full system restore on my PC. I was wondering if anyone who uses this platform has had problems and if so, offer a solution other than a system restore.
