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.

Believe me, like illegal music downloading, program downloading exists too! (nm)

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.

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.
Do you still have the CD's for downloading - sm
or backup of your old Windows system? If so, I'm fairly certain you could download that onto a new computer in addition to Vista, and run that instead 'til things clear up with the Vista problem at some MTSO's.
Either that, or hang onto your old PC to use for work only, and in the meantime you can buy the new PC and get used to Vistas and its quirks & differences, etc. without worrying about it messing up your work.
Help- What do I need for downloading?
I just had a Dr. ask me if I was able to download dictation. What does that mean, like from an email or something? I am new so what do I need to get? I downloaded express Scribe, but I don't even know how it works! I am ordering a foot pedal and headphones right now.
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.
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.

Suggestions for PC, just used for downloading,
Try downloading this player
http://www.olympus-europa.com/consumer/2590_4694.htm
It should open the file and then maybe you can change the format of the file back to a wav file.
You might try downloading ExpressScribe.
I think it has a few test files when you first down load it that you could practice on.
Downloading dictations (sm)
If you key in alt-ctrl-Z while the first one is loading, it will prevent the other two from downloading from the queue. When you are ready to submit and do another file, you will need to key in that sequence again to allow the next one to come in.
downloading terror
Dawn you must have been the fly on the wall at my place. It's been monstrous downloading unfamiliar programs and some of those doctors are somebody's idea of a terrible joke - the kind you have to have a report of theirs in front of you so you can learn what they are saying. I have never tested online til now.. As for now, I am taking a day or 2 off of applying after I put stupid wrong info on an app, my own fault for being "frantic". Time to walk away for a day or so. I got told by one company they would call me when they have work, I felt it was a kind brush-off, and I cried myself to sleep.
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
Vianeta...does anyone work with this software?
nm
For those that use Vianeta, do you have to manually enter
all that info or is it imported? Don't know how you'd make any money if you had to enter it all manually. Reminds me of the antiquated YOG cottage program.
Tech question/Vianeta
Is anyone familiar with or use the Vianeta platform? McAfee Virus Scan was downloaded onto my computer and since then I cannot seem to get the Shorthand/Word Expander portion of Vianeta to work. Any ideas, anybody?
Anyone know of MTSO's using Vianeta platform?
Anyone know of MTSO's using Vianeta platform? Could you let me know who they are?
Thanks
NetMed in Cadillac, MI uses Vianeta.

Virus after downloading DQS from website
Has anyone lately downloaded DQS from their website?
I down loaded two computers (PC and laptop). Both were
infected from a virus found in the WEBCORRECT.exe file.
Anyone else encounter this problem? My virus program isolated the virus and then I deleted the file. I forgot to write
down the virus, something like Trojan Backhorse? Not really sure.
Downloading medical speller ? (sm)
I googled medical dictionaries and spellers and I've found several. Some are free. What's the concensus? Are the free ones just as good as buying the Stedman's or something comparable? Opinions please.
Thanks. 
When does it occur? On boot up? downloading? other?

Downloading Editscript files
After you log in, it takes a while for several reports to load. When you get your first screen, you hit Alt U to get the first report. Hope this works for you.
Trouble downloading test.
I got an e-mail with an attachment for a typing test. When I opened the attachment I took about a second and screen went into my player but the job was not there to transcribe. I never had this happen before. I was resent the attachment and the same thing happened. I have had problems before with the foot pedal working but also had the voice portion so was still able to test. Any suggestions ? TIA.
Maybe downloading the newest version will help.
?
no, it's called illegal downloading - sm
and the key word is "illegal"
Downloading DSS files from TASP
I will need to download and play DSS files from a TASP system. My boss says I will need to purchase a player and program from Olympus to do this. Others have said I can use Bytescribe or Express Scribe with my USB pedal. My question is, if that's the case, how easy will it be to transfer from a TASP and play them on one of these players. My boss is making it out to be an impossible task. She said others have tried other programs and other foot pedals with either partial success or no success. Any help would be appreciated. The pedal package is $300 and who can afford that? Not I! Thanks and happy typing!
I liked Vianeta, too. In our application we could work offline, I do believe.
Some days, I wish we had Vianeta back again....
There were some downsides, especially if you had to get in on the management/QA side, but as an MT it was dandy.
Raising hand,,,, I vote Vianeta, too. nm
:o
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.
Don't you worry about all the lawsuits for downloading music?
My kids love to download, but once the law suits started against the computer owners I cut it out completely. I know they love music, I do myself, so share with me please, don't you worry about getting "caught?"
Downloading tests via the Internet for employment
Hello all. I was wondering if any of you download tests online when attempting to work for someone advertising here on the job boards. I just feel a little squimish. I'm being instructed to go to the Start Menu, right click, and type in the file name, etc. and then it takes me out to it online. Does this see like a safe thing to do? It doesn't mean anything is going on my PC is it when I type in the file name and password and end up at a site through Internet Explorer. Sorry for my ignorance or if I'm not making sense.. I just use my computer for a lot of confidential info, etc. and don't want a complete stranger onboard. Any help, suggestions, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks so much.
downloading free word program
has anyone ever used open office to download word so a test can be taken? I rent a computer from my company and I know I probably should not do this. My question is would they know if this is being done? Thank you.
downloading dictation versus telephone
ive been transcribing 220-250 lines per hour using the following: I dial into the telephone system using a Dictaphone to access the dictations and use Persona Client and Telnet software. It is all just straight typing, the dictation is waiting for me as I don't have to download nething. I get paid by minutes dictated. For example, if I transcribe 1 hour of dictation it would equal 600 lines. 600 lines at 8 cpl = 48.00. I'm lookin elsewhere for employment, and I'm worried about the downloading of dictations (which seems most are doing now-a-days) slowing my daily production down. Does anyone seem to be more/less productive as far as using a telephone to access dictations as opposed to downloading. Also, is there a big difference between getting paid per 65 character line or by minutes dictated. TY
Downloading Java didn't work
So I deleted it again like they told me to do in the beginning. Any other thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
