Posted: Jun 23, 2011
Any thoughts on these 2 companies? Which one would you consider to be the lesser of 2 evils?
TIA!

I have quite a few friends who have started within the last 2 to 3 months with Transcend, and all have had positive experiences. I have read a lot of negative on here as well, but they have all had positive experiences FWIW. I am in the process of going with a new company but haven't started there yet so can't say how it is!

I was hired by Transcend in May, and so far it has been a good experience. I was worried about going to work for them because I read so many bad things about them in this forum, but I had to have a job, so I took the position. I suppose you are going to hear good and bad about any company anywhere in the world, and you just have to take a chance. I don't know about the other company so I can only give you one-sided information.
I am thinking about both Nuance and Transcend. Does anyone like working for Nuance? Does anyone have any advice? Left MQ - looking for something better. ...
I'm looking for part-time work to fill in my IC job. Was looking into Transcend or TransTech. Any part-timers for these 2 companies want to share your experience? ...
By reading some of the posts on here, it looks like QC position is lower than QA position and even possibly lower than a Team Lead position. Could someone clarify this?
Also, does anyone know what hourly rate may be like for the QC position?
Thanks so much,
Transcender being assimilated. ...
Who is Allscripts. Are they competitors with Nuance, are they part of Nuance?
One of my accounts just got bought out earlier this month, now I just read the new owners have signed with Allscripts in an official press release. Just wondering what this all means.
Any ideas? ...
I have been offered a position with both companies and I have heard some really rough things about Nuance and was wondering if anyone had the choice between these two which one would you choose? ...
Hello, fellow MTs! I have been working for Nuance as an MT for 4 years, and becoming progressively dissatisfied with them. I noticed that TransTech is hiring. Can anyone tell me how they compare? I already emailed their recruiting department, but would like to get some feedback here as well.
Thanks!!

Who has worked at both of these companies? Compare the two. There is so much negativity on this board, it almost makes every company sound bad except one.
I would like just a factual comparison on the work, the pay, etc. :) ...
Working right now for NTS (lots of dirt here), but would like some honest opinions on M-Modal. They sent me an email wanting me to test (as i am sure they have many others), and today I got an automated phone call from them. Anyone know if this would be an improvement? Thanks! ...
May be a silly question, but can't seem to get an answer. Can we cancel health benefits with Nuance at any time? Or is it only once a year? Can we drop it and get Obamacare instead? From what I have heard from friends, I would have much better coverage going with Obamacare instead of Nuance. ...
Does anyone know or maybe even make an educated guess...how much a hospital might pay per line to have Nuance do their reports? We are guessing somewhere .12 to .15 upwards to .20/line. Of course they are claiming that this will save them all sorts of money and we'd like to know if they are really going to save as much as they think they are. Oh...and did I mention that Nuance said they wouldn't be sending anything to anyone who didn't speak English ou ...
As I was working today I thought about speech versus transcription, and it occurred to me that I was transcribing a good deal in each speech report I "edited." Why is transcription done for a full report paid any differently than transcription done in a speech report? In other words, why don't I get paid my transcription line count for the characters I am transcribing in a speech report, particularly since a great deal of these speech reports require almost re-transcribing completely due to ...
Okay, Transcenders/Ex-Transcenders. I have not done VRE before - just straight transcription. If it were down to not enough work to pay the bills and taking an offer from Transcend....you would or wouldn't and why??? Please???!!!!! ...
I'm trying to decide whether to apply at Transcend, Nuance or MQ. Any inputs from those MTs that work at these 3 companies?
I would greatly appreciate your assistance as all 3 companies have contacted me and I'm very leery of Nuance because of the offshore connection. Does Transcend or MQ send our work offshore or are owned by offshore companies?
Thanks for your honesty.
...
Having phone interviews tomorrow.....any input from knowledgeable MTs? I have not been in the job search for years, feel like a duck out of water....thank you for any input! ...
I have a lump in my throat today about the merger. I am wondering if there is anything positive that can come out of this. Do part time workers receive any benefits? Are there any typing accounts at Nuance or is it all VR? TIA ...
Well, well, well. Looks like some of the Transcend QA hagathas must be QAing Nuance's work now because they are marking off for every little thing! I get marked off because I forgot to add a dash. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I was QC myself but went back to being an MT due to the low pay per hour, and I just noticed this. They want to make sure no one will ever get that bonus it looks like! ...
Transcend employees received notification this morning that Transcend is being bought out by Nuance. Transition expected to happen during the second half of Nuance's fiscal year 2012. Those of you with Nuance - is this a good thing? ...
just got a new computer, and realized the box says 64 bit -- I think i remember being told that is not compatible with the job stuff. Do you know???? what is that mean anyway, "bit"? ...
to actually make a living. Before Nuance bought Transcend I almost always had PLENTY of work. For the last month or so, work has been very, very, very scarce on a once very busy account. Had the offer to be transferred to a different region, but who knows how the work load would be in another region. I have a sinking feeling all the regions are pretty much the same. Besides, I really like my supervisor and pretty much like the accounts I'm on. Just not en ...
As a Transcender being taken over by Nuance, I am appalled that we have received no word about anything other than we will start with a time clock. No word about how we will be compensated, only "rumors" which I am sick of. Now I see Accentus is still hiring, advertising and advertising a "holiday bonus". Well, I want a holiday bonus. I am affraid they are not telling us "facts" just to keep everyone from quitting at on time. ...
Please excuse if this is a duplicate message. I would like to find out from the MTs out there what their thoughts, suggestions, etc., are about Nuane/Transcend Services. I have recently learned that the current hospital I am doing transcription for is going to be outsourcing to this company. I would appreciate thoughts, concerns...no venting please. ...
Just to go ahead and make the change and hopefully avoid some of the stress with the transition?
I see that Nuance has ads up for MTs. I'm also concerned about whether or not they will hire all MTs from Transcend during the buyout.

News found on Google: Nuance "extends" offer to Transcend, evidently it is not yet a done deal, here is a link:
