How many companies are part of Nuance? - Rae


Posted: Feb 09, 2011

I was just reading another thread which makes me wonder how many companies are part of Nuance?  I take it Focus, OSI, Encompass,  some connection with Webmedx (maybe just with overflow), SGS, Execuscribe, Meditech.  Any others?  I'd really like to know because it seems every time I tried in the past to look for a new job I ended up applying with the same basic MTSO, though different names.  Is there any way to find out the names of the MTSOs that get swallowed up or merged with bigger ones?  Just curious.

I am not sure about the other companies you mentioned, but I work for Nuance. Initially, I worked for Focus (for the last 2 years)then as of February 1 of this year, Focus, OSI, Encompass and Nuance all became Nuance Transcription. Dictaphone, Cisco VR, Dragonfly are all owned by the the same company. Now which one came first and who bought out what company I do not know. I do know that the only "official" MT services are the ones I listed previously. As far as outsourcing overflow...I have no idea. I do know that our Human Resources is through AlphaStaff so the transcription companies are "comanaged" by AlphaStaff/Nuance. I know it sounds pretty complicated. I have no contact with anyone but my team leader of 2 years and she is great. I have one account that I have had for 2 years and therefore, I have the same doctors, ER doctors from a medical center and from time to time I do inpatient reports. I am very seldom bothered by anyone from the company. Have you worked for Focus previously?

What about GIS (Global Info Systems) - Nuance / Fosus relationship?

There must be some relationship between GIS and Focus and Nuance but I cannot figure it out and I work for GIS as an IC.

Hi, Yes,I currently work for Focus, but I have only worked there for four months. I have two accounts, one easy, and one not so easy - international doctors. I had no work over the holidays, but it is picking up now. Of course, I am working 3rd shift!! I am still not making enough to survive on this one job, but like I said, it is picking up. I like my TL also, and she has been very helpful. I appreciate your input, as I had only heard really bad things about Focus up until your post.

Pay cuts - RedBaron

I work for Encompass, which was purchased by Nuance. I was just informed that our incentives, benefits, and pay have all changed. All of a sudden, we have more work out of TAT. I am guessing that a number of people have quit because of the new incentives and lower pay. Besides the fact that we have to pay 100% of our benefits (no employer match except for 401K). I am not too thrilled about making less money and not being able to afford benefits. I am going back to school to get my Bachelors and a better career.

Good choice, Red. This was always a job, so if you want - a career have fun choosing a great one. NM

Part Time With Nuance
May 18, 2012

I am considering a part time position with this company. As a part time employee, I was expecting the hours to be 4 hours a day, but a friend of mine also with Nuance says part time involves 8 hours on either Sat. or Sun. I was expecting and perfectly OK with 4 hours on the weekend, like any other day a part time person would normally work. Why would they expect a part time person to work 8 hours on a day when the dictation is coming in at a lesser rate than M-F if a weekend day is a normal w ...

Is Amphion Part Of Nuance?

I work for Amphion and I'm generally happy with it. That said, I've seen on here before that Amphion is part of Nuance. Then in one of my emails recently I saw the name Nuance mentioned (in reference to workload). Is that true? That kinda makes me a little uneasy seeing that MM and N are the top two undesirables (that's putting it nicely). I've read through the Nuance postings and see alot of negative comments and I am wondering if some of that applies to Amphion MTs too. My ...

The reason I ask is I just saw a job opening out of purportedly Livonia, Michigan.  I thought possibly it was an in-hospital job.  Since I'm in that area, I was a little excited.  Then it sent me to a link that said TTS.....  I don't know anything about them, except what I see on this board.  Isn't that Transcend and didn't they get gobbled up by Nuance?   Anyway, the good news is, Miley didn't stick her tongue out last night.  Lol. & ...

I just had interview with Softscript and found out that they do not hire any part-time MT's.  Here they let me do testing and go to all that trouble and never even looked at my application, where I distinctly siad I wanted only part-time.  Just shows how much they look at your application.  So I am wondering now if Nuance hires that way.  If not then this is probably a waste of time too.   Very frustrating that these companies do not let you know up front.  ...

I can do it most of the time, but every now and then I miss it, sometimes by as much as 20 lines per hour. I have had 1 email asking that I use my time more productively and make the line count. I actually do use my time as productively as I can. I admit, although I have done this for years, I am not great with VR editing. Also, with the high standards and deductions in FIESA, I really listen and listen again to much of my transcription so I don't fall below wanted numbers there. I am doing ...


Even If Nuance Were To Announce A Raise, The Part They Fail To Mention Is That
Nov 04, 2014

Contracts are renegotiated regularly, so even if you were on an account that did not permit offshoring at any point in the past, you will sign in one day and discover WTs missing that you used to type and can watch whole blocks of reports disappear from your queue.  Nuance's survival depends upon this, and they don't care diddly squat about yours. So, dream on...and on...and on about line rates, bonuses being easier to get because of less nitpicking, etc., it isn't going to ...
