It's a sad day.

Wait till 2:30 for the call we've all been waiting for. It will be even sadder once we find out how much our pay will be cut yet again.

It sucks how they've got millions to go buying MT - companies, but cant pay their MTs fairly. nm

Mtec - too

Wow, I didn't even know that Webmedx owned M-TEC. I graduated from M-TEC over 10 years ago but my goodness - things have changed!

Good luck to you all.

VERY SAD!!! - Tiny

Nuance has their hand in every cookie jar, between Nuance and Medquist, I simply cannot figure out who is worse.

The CEO of Medquist was replaced, I briefly read about him, but not before he walked away with 1.5 million, after STEALING for years from the transcriptionists.

If anyone is switching to Nuance as an employer, please keep us posted on the changes. Also, wonder if collecting unemployment and training for a different field of work is an option rather than switching companies and taking a HUGE pay cut???

"Huge paycut?" You are spreading rumors. - nm

Really, where did you hear that. Didn't the moderator for this board - state that you need to post SM

TRUTHS and back up what you have heard? Otherwise, you are blowing smoke and it is uncalled for. Stop bashing when you don't have proof...

PR = great work of fiction! - anon

Can't stop laughing.

I was laughing pretty hard during the conference call - still chuckling

[ In Reply To ..]
It was so nice to get paid for over an hour's worth of "we don't know yet" and "we'll tell you as soon as we decide". Now my butt is full of all the smoke and rainbows they blew up there, and they tickle!

. nm - done

Questions For Nuance And Webmedx MTs
Jun 27, 2011

WMXers, those of you who use VR, are you continuing to use Wmx's program for now?  Are you being told whether you'll eventually move to Nuance's product? Is Nuance's VR program Dragon?  How well does it work?  Nuance put out Powerscribe which is a terrible program so I'm wondering whether Dragon (or whatever else they may use) is more efficient. ...

Nuance's Acquisition Of Webmedx
Jul 14, 2011

I saw the press release today regarding Nuance/Webmedx and was wondering, since Medquist bought M-Modal last month, if all the Webmedx accounts are being swiched over to eScription or Dictaphone (which Nuance uses), or if Nuance also acquired the Enterprise platform and all Webmedx accounts are back to that platform. Anyone out there with any additional information about how the QA folks will be handled? I'm a former Webmedx'er and a new (yet to start working) Nuance employee, so am ve ...


Webmedx/Nuance Combination ?
Sep 11, 2011

Anyone work for Webmedx and happy there?  Doesn't sound like there have been many changes yet with their buyout by Nuance.  Are you having enough work (or on a fairly regular basis)?  I know this varies by each area, but in general are most of you keeping out of the soup lines? If you hire on PT to try it out, can you switch to full time or do you have to wait so long? Is second shift the better shift to get more steady workflow? What is the difference in hiring on w ...

Webmedx/Nuance Question

It seems like lately no matter what account I am working on I am left with only the hardest to understand dictators and/or jobs with bad audio quality. Anyone else notice this or is it just me? I find it hard to believe that there are only ESL doctors at all 5 of the accounts that I work on. I'm sure there must be some good dictators somewhere, but I don't get them anymore. Anyone also notice the quality of ISR is absolutely pitiful? Getting more frustrated by the minute here. Jus ...

With everything we are hearing about Nuance taking them over and Nuances pay and bonus plan referred on here as  low.

I Make $8.50 An Hour With Webmedx/Nuance
Dec 09, 2011

Since we were acquired by the big N, "We" are on the old platform, not Dragon.  I don't get any reports that have templates or normals. The account has thousands of doctors.  This is as much as I can possibly make under these parameters. So running our "salary calculator," it comes out to $8.50 an hour.  I was making twice this 2 years ago for same company before it was acquired. ...

Is anyone who transitioned from Webmedx to Nuance making more than they were 6 months ago?  We got a letter in January stating we would be by now because of "performance improvements and increased production capcity."

Journalist's Deadline Question On Webmedx And Nuance
Sep 13, 2011

Hello:I am a journalist covering a local public hospital district where transcriptionists have just been outsourced to Webmedx. That company has apparently been bought out by Nuance, and I would like to know more from MTs who have had experience with either company. How does pay compare with a job in a hospital, how much do you make per hour, does Nuance outsource offshore and what can those who work for Nuance expect in the way of job security and benefits.

Webmedx,Subsidiary Of Nuance Compensation Decision.

To me, he always seemed to have taken pride in his position as he talked about why he felt Webmedx was so successful due to low employee turn around and an open door policy in communication with same. Training was superb, the community page which enhanced employee recognition-data made many of us ...

It appears they have done away with our paid holidays.  We can work on holidays and have a bonus (if the facility is open and there is work).  If not, we have to take it out of our PTO or not get paid. My pay  by the new plan is cut from 9  typing and 5 voice recognition to 8 and 4 instead per line.  The incentive bonus requires 99% accuracy by QA audit, and 15% or less of reports going to QA, paid every 2 weeks.   ...
