Rumor earlier in 2012 that Transtech was going to - LongMTlooking


Posted: Jan 15, 2013

be acquired.  Did that ever happen?  Is it going to?  Already been through 2 acquisitions and don't want to do it again, so want to know Transtech status before possibly applying.  Any info?  Thanks

Its hard to tell anymore. I didn't know FutureNet and - Meridian were brought out by

MModal until I read it on this board. By the time anyone knows anything, its already done. No warning whatsoever from what I can tell.

I never would have guessed Accentus and Transcend would - become Nuance.

just gotta take your chances and see what happens.

Nuance - me

Nuance is swallowing up every company they can and bigger doesn't mean better. The benefits are absolutely horrible now, especially the insurance, and you can't tell me that with thousands of employees they can't do better than this.

Just wondered if it had happened already-if not probably will be-nm! - LongMTlooking

Selling? - PassAlong

Companies using Nuance VR software are pretty much controlled by Nuance, so I really I don't see that it makes much difference as far as we are concerned whether Nuance runs a company or owns a company. My 2 cents.

Anyone Else Hear The Rumor About MModal
Aug 16, 2012

being "parted out" when the investment company who is buying us takes over next year? Says that the different entities of MModal such as MT, coding, speech systems, etc., will be separated and sold off? If this is true, maybe I better hurry up and find something else outside MT. Trying not to panic here. I heard this from a friend who works in-house as an MT with a hospital who was investigating outsourcing their MT to MModal and now putting that on hold and looking at other ...

Earlier Talk About Keeping Your Office Under
Jun 12, 2013

A few weeks ago there was talk about people thinking we should keep our work/office under lock and key, that someone was going to be showing up and because of the HIPAA law, we would be in big trouble, prosecuted, arrested, whatever. I have something to run past those that were posting. Ok, so today I take my husband to have a procedure done. I am called back to his room as he is awakening and there are 2 people sharing this room with a drawn curtain between them. The doctor comes in to talk ...

Keystrokers, Regarding Earlier Layoff Post
Jun 12, 2014

I do not know what I can mention here, but was the HR person’s first name who was let go start with a K?  I ask because I replied to their job posting that stated they were rolling back the clock and needed to hire 40 MTs.  I sent in my resume in response to the pediatrics account because a while back, I was an MT at a children’s hospital in a very large city.  I stated I knew my skills were old but that I was submitting my resume anyway for their consideration.  ...


Weird Ad Overlapping Dictation Earlier.
Oct 06, 2014

Before the crash, I was in the middle of a report when an ad for an animal shelter came on, encouraging adopting a pet.  It played over and over, drowning out the dictator's voice.  I thought I had triggered it somehow, but couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.  I tried to ignore it, but it was hard to hear the dictation, so I hit "Abandon."  Suddenly, the overlapping voice stopped.  Yay!  I was able to cancel the abandon and finish the report.  S ...

After reading the replies, seems what I meant to say was misconstrued. When I decide to inquire to e-newspapers about exposing MModal, I meant trying to get the message out about Americans' private information going overseas, as the main point.  Ragging on how horrible the company would be just a side thing.  If people don't speak out, things don't change.  American women would not be able to vote if those strong, outspoken women way back didn't fight for that ...

Conference Call 10/15/2012

Maybe if MModal hired fewer employees from Microsoft they could afford to pay transcriptionist better and allow for cost of living raises.  I have been a transcriptionist for going on 30 years and this company is one of the reasons we can't make a living wage.  I am so tired of hearing the term "industry standard" because in the past when I worked with other companies and directly in-house I was paid more.  Just because it is the "industry standard" does not make it right. &n ...
