Nuance job - DK


Posted: Mar 12, 2012

I have an interview this week with Nuance. Any advice on what to expect? I'm interviewing for an MT job and have been reading some posts on here about the company and it's not looking good.

I've only been with Nuance a few months but.. - mt2nuance

One thing that ticks me off is the fact I've sent 2 emails to my team leader LAST Monday. No answers. Yesterday, I sent a 3rd email regarding shift change. So that's 3 different emails regarding 3 different subjects and no answers. Not too impressive.

Well, I've got an interview in about 5 minutes. I'm definitely keeping my options open. I have another interview this afternoon with MModal so I'm hoping something turns out to work for me. I need a reputable company to work for, the last one I was with screwed all it's employees over (went out of business and never told us) so I'm skeptical of anything right now.

Update us on how it went and - what you decide - good luck!

Nuance Job - Leaving

[ In Reply To ..]
Well I have worked for both Nuance and Medquist and both are evil, but Medquist less so. Nuance is a ridiculous joke in this business and my notice is in with 1 week left. Was with Webmedx for 5 years before it was bought and ruined by Nuance. Everyday is a new adventure - yesterday hearing we have to buy and maintain our own dictionaries. I would not work here if I were you.
Do you mean expander when you say dictionaries? - NM

It goes hand-in-hand with transcription. I own InstantText and Shorthand. What's the big deal?
What's the big deal?!.... - sm

Expanders boost production, which benefits the company just as much if not more than the MT. Thus, it has been standard practice for major MTSOs to cover licensing fees for expanders. What's the big deal?? How about a new, additional out-of-pocket expense to workers (who already have had wages slashed and shift differentials eliminated) that the company previously covered. So, $30/year (or $149 one-time fee for SH) may not be a ''big deal'' to you but that's not necessarily true (especially in today's economy) for all. Also, when one major MTSO cuts a perk, it sets an unhealthy precedent for others to follow suit. Your compassion is underwhelming.
I stand by my post. I own my own expansion software. I am not reliant... - see message

...on an MTSO to provide it for me. wouldn't presume as much. I have my own references. I don't expect an MTSO to provide them for me either.

$30 a year? Write it off as a business expense. I am not rolling in the dough either - but to completely freak out because of a $30 per year expense is shooting yourself in the foot.

That's $2.50 per month, or 8.3 cents per DAY. And, it is tax-deductible.

Hahah we must share a team leader. Never an answer. - nm

I've been with Nuance for 4 months and have been satisfied. Good support from 2 Team Leaders, good mentoring. No company is perfect, all have their good/bad.

The interview went well. There is one opening for the shift I'm looking for. I'm fortunate in that I don't need the insurance/benefits (DH gets those through his work) so it's basically a matter of the hours and pay rate, which I think are decent. I have another interview this afternoon and a few more resumes and apps out there so I told her I'd get back to her by the end of the week. She was very nice and understanding.

Been there almost a year now - anon

Pros: There is a ton of work, which I personally love. I am asked to work OT pretty much every weekend, and when I choose not to, I do not get a reprimand from my supervisor. Speaking of my supervisor, she is great and answers e-mails promptly.

The only con is the QA and it is a big con. I really do not find the QA to be fair in any way, shape or form. They are horribly picky and though I have been able to maintain 99% thus far, I am always worried especially since our bonus hinges on it quarterly.

Another slight con is I find it difficult to get more than 2000 lines in a day unless it is the perfect day with perfect dictators. That, of course, could just be me. I am old and find nonstop editing boring beyond words, so do get distracted from time to time.

Having said that, it is better than where I jumped from and I intend to stick it out. I figure in the end either MQ or Nuance will own everyone else anyway.

Wmx/nuance Paycut Meeting,listen To Tape Shut Up Or QUIT, Nuance Attitude?
Dec 12, 2011

According to a poster below which has apparently already attended one of the payroll meetings (as the poster posted) for nuance they have decided to keep the incentive part of all of our pay going with an exception that now you have to have over the industry standard of 98% to get a production based incentive. In addition (if this poster is accurate) they have again cut the overall pay from 8 and 4 to 3 3/4 AND 7 1/2. This is nothing but a bunch of crapploa...an MT who is now getting ...

I thought they were 2 different services.  Everyone is buying out everyone, so who knows.  All the small companies have been merged I guess.  I thought Nuance was out of New York and were the primary with VR.  Maybe one has to keep up with the changes and be a member and pay the dues and go to the meetings with AAMT and be a CMT to keep up with the changes, even though you still get 4 cents. ...

WMX/Nuance Changes
Dec 06, 2011

If Webmedx does away with or changes their recently advertised "PRODUCTION BASED INCENTIVE" bonus and adopts the Nuance quality based bonus then this change may be considered by quite a few WMX employees as yet another cut in pay. I’m sure that there are quite a few MT’s currently at WMX that have a high QA average and are earning $300-$400 (some even more) in production incentive pay each pay period, which equates to $600-$800 per month. As an example, acco ...

Mar 17, 2012

Is this true? Because if so that means they dont take into consideration years of experience, opportunity for increase or nothing. Seems kind of hard to work for an obviously big and successful company that is only willing to pay their employees 0.41 cpl and thats it, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. I mean they dont come off to be the type of company that "cant" afford to give increases in pay to their transcriptionist. I heard that if you work from 10pm to 6pm you can make 0.46 cpl, bet ...

I received an incentive bonus this paycheck (for the first time ever). My QA score was 99.3%. So, I get an email today from my supervisor that my latest audit was only 98.2% and they are going to reaudit me in 2 weeks to see if my score is improving or if I need further disciplinary action. WTF? I've been with Nuance for 3 years and think it's time to jump ship. This company is messed up, and the QA is so inconsistent. ...

In house just got outsourced to Nuance.  In our meeting, they said the PTO is 10 days total, which you have to use for holidays and sick time as well.  So, if you take all 6 holidays (if that is even possible), you get 4 days off a year?  Not even a week for vacation left over.  Someone asked if that changes with time of service and they said no, that will never go up.  ARE YOU KIDDING?  Is this what the rest of you get for PTO, or is this just something they have s ...

I have been with Nuance a few years.  I'm an MT.  I'm not the best MT out there, nor am I the worst.  I read the comments on these boards and my jaw is on the floor.  FYI, not everyone has the bad experiences that have been discussed on this site.  I can't account for the horrible things I hear people saying about Nuance, except to say if things are really that bad for you, maybe MT is not for you or Nuance is not a good fit for your career path. ...


Nuance QCs

I AM SO LIVID!  These QCs are unbelievable!  I used "and" instead of "the" and the QC marks me off for English misspelling/typo which is a 0.5 error instead of an English word misuse which is less at 0.25. Do you think "and" and "the" are typos?  I think not!  You see, this is evidence that they are being totally unfair and proof that they do not want anyone to make incentive!  This is my opinion!  Anything to bring your score down!  Man this pisses me off!&n ...

QC/QA Pay At Nuance

There is someone who claims to be a QC for Nuance and that they are only paid minimum wage for this position.  That is utter nonsense.  Why would any experienced MLS take a minimum wage job in the MT industry when you could make more than that on production easily.  If you are experienced enough to be in QC or QA then please don't lie to the rest of us and tell us that you only make minimum wage.   ...

I am really in need of a job, and because I like eScription and ExText for the most part, I thought Nuance was the most likely candidate. However, I'm hearing terrible things about them. I know some have good experiences and some bad, but I'm not in a position where I want to struggle through several months of working and then quit because there's no money in it. I did have an interview, and my red flag was that the interviewer said that they had 80 to 100% ESL on some ac ...

Got to admit that I am still not a big fan of Nuance's QC/QA departments, but I have to admit I appreciate some of the nice comments they are leaving in feedback lately and are very appreciative.  I think there are still a few brutal ones out there though in saying this.  I these select few do this becauise it serves as some kind of gratification for them to make an MT miserable like they are so superior (like the MT is the dummy) when that is not the case at all.  I think s ...

Well, I just checked my bank account, and I was not reimbursed one penny for the time...  Looks like I'll hav ...
