Vianeta Users

In Reply to:

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!

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.


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.
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.
nm
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.
Vianeta had bad spell check. Copy & pasted

I like Sten-Tel, working out of folders. I have worked Vianeta before and it was slow and

To AOL users
Please note that once the email validation system (EVS) is operational on all boards (today), the ban on specific AOL IP addresses will be removed.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but thanks to one or two problem posters, we had no choice but to place the ban until EVS is in place.

Any green tea users out there?

I have tried green tea on 2 separate occasions and both times experienced what appears to be bloody stools with it.  As soon as I stop the intake of the tea, the blood goes away.  I really like the tea as it does a good job of promoting energy and weight loss, but I cannot understand why it causes this reaction.  Would anyone have any idea why this happens?  Is there another natural energy booster I can try?  Thanks for any and all help. 


It is MQ-wide for DQS users?
Well, I sure would hope it would be for SE's too, as some of us also use DQS.  I havent heard anything, nor gotten a letter or check..Im wondering is it MQ-wide?  All of MQ that uses DQS?  Or could it be just certain regional offices did not have the count of lines set up right?
TransNet users
1.  Have long have you been using TransNet?  Is it hard to learn?

 

2.  Does it work with Word 2003?

 

3.  Do you d/l the files through a modem or through a cable or DSL line?

 

4.  If you have a cable or DSL line ... how long would it take for you to download, say, all of the Alta Bates or Sequoia reports. I ask about those only because I can translate that into lines in my head. IOW, "it takes 1 hour to d/l a full day of Alta Bates." This way I could figure out where things would stand on one of the accounts I work on.

 

5.  Would you rather use TransNet or C-phone? Why (whatever your choice is) <-- this is the critical question, so feel free to go into detail

 

6.  What happens if you've download a batch of files and your hard drive crashes? Are those files gone forever or are the "originals" still on the master system?

Flashtype users?
I recently downloaded Flashtype expander.  I like the set up of being able to put in what I want but I am having trouble with capitalization.  I work in Meditech and the CAPS status sometimes changes for no reason.  This program is also suppose to print in all CAPS if wanted but this does not happen either except only occasionally.  It also does not capitalize the word at the beginning of a sentence if it is typed so such as Copd, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.  It does all lower case.  Is there something I can do or is just a program error or is it just using it with certain programs such as Meditech?
Just wanting to know if any IT users

would care to share tips on getting started with Instant Text, especially the best way to go about customizing the glossaries . . . just received my IT and I'm anxious to get going, but it does seem that there is a learning curve and takes some getting used to.


 


Thanks to all!


For DSL users..... is it possible to use a C-phon
and still have your home phone hooked up and running for calls?  I remember trying to get a fax machine to work about a year ago and I ended up getting a new phone line for that because it ended up being too much trouble and SBC was of no help.  Any suggestions?
DocQscribe users sm

Does anyone work for more than 1 company that uses DocQscribe.  I work for 1 company with DocQScribe and just got a part-time job at another company that uses DocQscribe.  Is there any way to use DocQscribe for 2 companies on 1 computer?



Thanks!


? for TransNet users
What do you use to listen to the dictation, and where do you plug it in?
EXText Users - help
I too am looking for ways to cut keystrokes. For those who use EXText and the Word client, can you tell me how to set it up to automatically start each sentence with a capital letter? Also, how do you set it up to space twice after a sentence?

Thanks again!
Shorthand users

I'm not sure if this will help you or not but it can't hurt to check. 


On the autoreplace options page in ShortHand there's a box called "options" after the line for Use Alt+Ins to add current word to dictionary. Click on the options and make sure there is not a blank space in the keyword suffix box. 


It used to make me nuts because every time I created a new shorthand entry it would put a space and . behind it and I had to manually delete them.  I did that for 5 years before someone told me about that suffix box and sure enough the space and period were in there. 


Hope this helps.

Meditech Users

Help!!!!    Question for IC MTs who use Meditech currently. I need to get another


"Medical/Pharmacological Spellchecker.  What do some of you have and use right now?


I work PT for this hospital but and the only spellchecker they have on Meditech is called this:  Proximity Merriam-Webster Database Dictionary.  It does not have drugs on it per say. 


Bought a Stedmans but now people tell me that will not work and I have not tried it yet.   I do have PCShorthand but there are no drugs on it either.  


Does anyone know what would work?   Thanks


 


 


EditScript users
I have a few questions about Editscript that I was hoping someone could help me with. The tech requirements state that USB infinity pedal version 14, and of course, I have the "non version 14" one. Does anyone know where I can get a version 14 one? The specs also state that Editscript is only compatible with Norton or McAfee, but I have a paid version of AVG and was hoping that I would not have to switch. Is there a free version of Mcafee? Geez..so many things to figure out. Any help would be appreciated!
Question for VR users...

Just a quick question for everyone who is willing to respond:  When doing VR reports, do you listen, read/proof and upload or do you listen, read/proof, proof again and upload?  I am just trying to figure out what everyone else is doing.  Thanks .


IT users email at WMX
Please ask our training person to get on the Instant Text email group at Webmedx. (Lori) We all help each other out! Productivity Talk is an awesome site too, but sometimes they don't have the tricks we need to use in the platform specifically.
meaningful EHR users

Electronic Health Record Users


Beginning in 2011, physicians and hospitals can receive bonus payments under Medicare and Medicaid if they are found to be "meaningful EHR users." But with all the talk surrounding "meaningful," what does it all mean from the physician's point of view?
 
The federal government has said they might publish criteria for the definition of "meaningful use" of electronic health records as early as June 16, according to the HIMSS Electronic Health Record Association, a trade group for EHR firms. And with June 16th right around the corner, this survey is meant to explore the value of the physician narrative as it relates to electronic documentation and the meaningful use of an EHR, as well as shed light on what meaningful EHR use is.


Express Scribe users?? sm
Getting ready to take on a side job in which I will be using Express Scribe. Did a search and couldn't find any posts since '04. Anybody out there now using it have any comments? Seems pretty straight forward and easy to use. Have already downloaded and it works with my current foot pedal already..so that seems to be good since that was the only issue I really saw on previous posts. Thanks for your time! :)






Question for Shorthands users....sm

1.  Can you import AutoText entries into this program?


2.  What's their website?


For all Bytescribe waveplayer users, I need help - sm

Does the Bytescribe waveplayer version 4.3 or 6 work with the Docshuttle bytescribe program or do I need to have different software.


I can't open compressed wave files from the Bytescribe Utility Export program.  Anyone have any answers?


I was on the phone with BS today for 2 hours, and still no answer as to why - I think I need another version of bytescribe waveplayer to work correctly - any thoughts on this or has this happened to anyone else?


Thanks for your help


Editscript/Escription users
Am I the only person who has a squatty hourly average line count with this system? I would love to hear from those who don't mind sharing how many lines you average an hour.

For those of you who are thinking about posting a response that says 'I don't give out this info'...save it please.
My question is for people who ARE willing to share this info.

Thanks.
Editscript/Escription users
I'm worse off than you. What does Editscript/Escription stand for?
IT users?? Need ideas on how to record (sm)

the rad report MR#s, DVI#s, Accession #s in IT so to save me time.  This is radiology and at times, recording the exam numbers takes longer than typing the report, so hopefully, you understand. 


My idea is to open a daily list on the blank page of the IT screen and then save it at the end of the day.  Does this sound plausible to you?


Thanks for your feedback!
