Can is use Vianeta and Bayscribe on same PC?

Posted By: double trouble on 2008-11-24
In Reply to:

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.

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.


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
:l
I used to use Bayscribe....

I think there is actually a way to back your macros up to the server.  If you go to the README file in your Bayscribe folder, it should give you a list of shortcuts and one of them is how to back up to their server.  I must preface this by saying I tried this once because I was trying to use a laptop and transfer my macros from my desktop to the laptop, but it did not work for me. So, I would just suggest going to your Bayscribe folder, finding the abbv.txt (I believe that is the title), openning the file and either copying them to a disk or e-mail the file to yourself and keep it in you saved folder.  That way, you will always have them. 


Hope that helps.


Does anyone use Bayscribe

for dictation and another program, like Radnet, for the transcription.  I'm looking for a word Expander to use with RadNet and Bayscribe.  I've been using Shorthand, but having some problems and I'm wondering if the ShortHand interferes with Bayscribe since it has a built-in expander that I'm not using since the transcription is done in another program.  Any suggestions??


bayscribe

any one work with BayScribe software.. just wondering how the platform is. thanks


I can't log into Bayscribe at all...sm

 I have even been given a new account number. 


The tools will not come up when I am in IE at all when I hit ctrl F3.  When I go through Start button to program files and hit productivity tools it is just a link to the Bayscribe question and answer page.  They just plain are not on my system at all.  I am not on IE7.  I have tried everything I can think of.


Thanks for the ideas though!!

Bayscribe
Absoltely rocks!!!  That is after a little quirking to the spellchecker!
Yes you can. I use Bayscribe and IT and...sm
it works like a charm.  I have never encountered any compatibility issues. 
Bayscribe
I am having the same problem.  It just started recently.  Last week it happened on Monday, I uninstalled and reinstalled a few times, but no luck.  Then, for some unknown reason it started working and I did not have a problem the rest of the week.  Today, I log on to work and get the same error again.  I checked with the company I work for and apparently no one else is having this problem.  They were checking with the programmer, but it started working before I got a response.  I don't know the reason for the error, but it is extremely frustrating. 
Anybody here ever use Bayscribe?
I will be using this for a new acct that my boss is accepting and I was just wondering if it is hard or easy to use?

Anybody?
Bayscribe
I absolutely love it! It is very MT friendly.
Bayscribe
I agree that you are not able to do a search for other reports in Bayscribe, but I have found you are able to look at reports you have previously typed by minimizing Bayscribe and then opening up another Bayscribe screen and bringing up the reports summary section.  I use this several times a day.  I wish you luck!!!!
Bayscribe
I have worked on Bayscribe for almost 2 years and I use InstaText. It works beautifully with Bayscribe. Also, Bayscribe will automatically back up the entries to their server.
Bayscribe
I use Bayscribe and PC Shorthand.  It works perfectly with Bayscribe.
Bayscribe
Hit ignore on the word you're not sure of.  Let the spellcheck go completely through to the end.  Then instead of submit, hit return to document.  Look up the word you're trying to spell, then do spellcheck again.  This will bring up the word you "ignored" & you can correct it.
Bayscribe
If you lose a report in Bayscribe for any reason, go back into a new template of the same type. You have to be in a template like you are getting ready to type a new report. If you lost a H&P, be in H&P template. Then hit alt/R. Bayscribe will bring up the last H&P in the system and give you a preview of the last H&P you typed. When you recognize the report, click on "okay" and it will restore the whole report including the demographics. You can never really "lose" a report in Bayscribe. Hope this helps.
Bayscribe
It does...and in fact, it lets you know the number of lines, as well as what you will be paid for each and every report. I love that feature!!
Bayscribe
Anyone use PC ShortHand with ith Bayscribe? I cannot get mine to work right. It skips expansions, puts half the expansion in and sometimes does not finish the word. Anyone else have this problem or is there another Expander that works well with Bayscribe? I am getting frustrated here. I tried doing everything the Shorthand web site said to do but to no avail. Appreciate any suggestions.
Bayscribe

I imported my MSW AutoCorrect file into Bayscribe but a lot of it will not work.  For instance, in MSW I use YO as the expansion for -year-old, but this now will not work after a number nor will YO work after a number followed by a hyphen either.  Seems it only will work after a space.  Any idea how to design an expansion that will work after a number or hyphen without a space in between? 


Also, all the capitalizations I built in for headers get reversed to lower case when I follow them with a colon and I have resigned myself to having to re-enter all of those. Any Bayscribe experts who can shed some light?


BayScribe

Turn off the Expander in BayScribe and get InstantText!  :O)


Bayscribe

What do you all think of this?  Want to know the good, bad, indifferent.  I am getting ready to train on this platform and just am wondering how it really is. 


Bayscribe help!!
I'm working on my daughter's computer today because I'm having tons of problems with mine.  So, I had to download the productivity tools and kind of start from scratch.  It's been so long since I've set up my tools that I cannot remember how to change my spellchecker options so that it doesn't automatically capitalize the next letter after a period.  Example:  Ecotrin 81 mg p.o. daily.  It keeps wanting to capitalize the d in daily.  Does anyone know how to change this? 
Bayscribe
If you are in a report, click control F3, go to local configuration, uncheck the box that says enable capitalization after 2 spaces are typed.
Oh please! Please!!! Anyone on Bayscribe?

Heeeeeeeeeelp!!!!


Suddenly, out of nowhere (maybe they just upgraded?) the "doctor roster" comes up in this little tiny box in the corner all of a sudden--not the big box in the center I'm used to.  OK fine..I find the doctor name I'm looking for in the list (to put in the ADT screen) and I have no idea how to do this!  Before you hit A or enter or whatever and the name would automatically go into the ADT screen (this after I hit the little DR box)...


What happened?? I have a whole night's work ahead of me and no one to call.  Please, anyone!!!!


Bayscribe
Just close it out and log back in. I had this happen yesterday.
