Say what you will about Transcend... - depressed
Posted: Dec 12, 2012
At least when they bought my smaller company they didn't cut my pay. Restructured it, yes, since they didn't pay incentive bonuses, but made absolutely sure I didn't lose money. Nuance, on the other hand, just gutted me after buying Transcend. MASSIVE pay cut that is now causing me to have to find a second job. I already have worked every weekend and almost every holiday for the last 12 years I've been in this industry, now I get to work 7 days a week too. Thank you, Nuance, for the fabulous Christmas present and ensuring there will be literally nothing under our tree this year.
As always, punish longevity and high production with high quality while rewarding new hires and ... - ugh
[ In Reply To ..]...low producers.
That's the name of the game. I've been seeing it happen for years now. It first happened when we switched to speech wreck. High producers took a giant hit (I took about a 30% pay cut) while low producers ended up getting a raise. High producers couldn't double production to account for the 50% pay rate for editing but low producers could easily double theirs. Gotta love it. This industry has gone down the toilet.
Sorry, this should be on the Nuance board. Didn't know there was one. - depressed

Transcend/Nuance - Same here
[ In Reply To ..]It all comes down to us producing more for less pay so they make more in the end. They can play on words/sugar coat it all they want, is still comes to the same thing. To make what I made before the base pay cut, one has to type more lines to achieve the "incentive" to begin with. Too many variables to guarantee one will do that every single pay! One word...Greed. My humble opinion!
Transcend/Nuance - Same here - disgustedMT
[ In Reply To ..]One more variable for the incentive - QA. And you KNOW that QA has been told to find every single thing wrong (even if it's not) in a report so they don't have to pay the incentive.
Absolutely. It's sickening. We need to band together and see - sm
[ In Reply To ..]who, if anyone, gets the QA bonus. I bet no one gets it. That is a ridiculously high percentage rate to keep up with as bad as they will be nitpicking. There isn't even a standard, from what I understand. So how is anyone going to make it?
There are too many over-paid higher ups in that company who know NOTHING about this business getting paid big bucks. How else are they supposed to pay their salaries? By cutting OURS! I hate this co.
Then leave - na
[ In Reply To ..]If you hate the company you are working for, you should stop complaining and leave. There are plenty of us out there who are glad we have a job in this terrible economy.
Froggie, watch out, you're boiling to death - nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
Then leave - same here
[ In Reply To ..]Is that the answer for everything? "Then leave" The most dangerous people out there are the ones that know something is wrong and do nothing. This is why the situation is where it is now, not enough people standing together...Instead they make justifications for it..UNTIL the shoe is on their foot.
Well said 'same here.' Sounds like a sup. - anon
[ In Reply To ..]Naturally people who rely on the transcriptionish doing most of the work will post here to discourage and act like nothing is wrong. Yes, if you don't do the job. Yet if you are a worker...there is definitely labor laws that need to be addressed.

VR At Transcend
Nov 18, 2009
Did VR develop Alzheimer's? It has lost everything. I am tired of no commas, periods, and everything else it reverted back to since its infancy. It is really true that now you can transcribe faster than you can edit. Does anyone even care? Do you know how many times you have to stop in the middle of labs to put in punctuation? This has been going on for over a month and I haven't noticed any big push to get it fixed. Just another way to m ...

Transcend TLs ??
Feb 08, 2010
I am curious as to if the TLs are meeting their requirements. They are expected to type 75-80% of their time and get paid by the line as well . I am very suspicious that they are not typing VR all day, having their work sent to India, etc, and are getting the straight typing. They get paid a flat fee per month for their administrative duties on top of that. I wonder if they are experiencing no work and looking at a blank screen most of their time& ...

Is There More Than One Transcend? I See Their
Mar 19, 2010
job ad on the Seeker's board and it sounds like a place I would like to work. I work for a company also called Transcend, but they are not a place that I would recommend to anyone. I haven't worked all week as there has been no work. Just NJA. So maybe this Transcend is in a parallel universe. It certainly could not be the same place where I'm employed. ...
About Transcend
Mar 28, 2010
I have read dozens of posts on the board about Transcend, some good and a lot not so good. However, I think there is an explanation for some MTs loving it there and others hating it so much. Transcend is a company made up of many other companies through mergers. The original Transcend who existed first, before acquiring other companies seems to be the problem. On the other hand, for example MDI/Transcend, for the most part does not seem to fit that description. You have to remember ...
VR With Transcend?
Apr 21, 2010
I'm coming to the realization that unless I get faster with editing these VR reports, I am never going to be able to make the full-time production requirements at Transcend. I'm really freaking out. Is it really possible to do 300 lines per hour in VR? How long does it take to get faster with it? ...
Want To See What Our Value Is To Transcend?

Google Star Clip Itz Note Holder w/ Metal Rod & Alligator Clip to see exactly how much it cost Transcend per MT for this gift that bears so much thought and appreciation. Do they really not realize how it affects their corporate image when their priority is placed on spending $600,000+ on a failed business venture versus the amount spent to "appreciate" the motor that makes their business run? That's like spending more than a half million dollars to buy a garage to hous ...
Transcend....yet Again
Jun 05, 2010
I was with the company for over five years, not once failing to meet the requirements of me yet I was told my position would have to change to 2nd or 3rd shift if I wanted to keep my job as there were no positions available for 1st shift. Two days after resigning I see they are hiring for 1st shift positions on a typing only platform which is what I wanted. I just don't get it. ...

Transcend/DTS
Jun 25, 2011
Did anyone else get the memo from Transcend (soon to take over from DTS) about the line rate change for the transitioning employees from DTS? It was elegantly written, but basically it said that when the accounts are switched over the VR that the line rates will decrease but productivity will increase and no cut in pay is expected. It is happening exactly how the posters on this board that have been through takeovers by Transcend said - decreased pay. I gave my notice already BT ...

Transcend And TTS

I have a phone interview with Transcend out of Atlanta and TTS out of New Hampshire today and next week. I've been working for the same MT company for over 8 years, but they're losing accounts and cutting our pay so I'm looking to possibly change jobs. Has anyone worked for Transcend or TTS? I'm scared to death to change jobs at this point. I know the problems and shortcomings of my current company. I switched jobs once before for a few months and found that all the promises ...

Transcend And SR

I've been offered a job with Transcend but it is part transcription and part SR. I've never done SR and have no idea what to expect or what I will earn.

Thanks for any words of wisdom. ...

Transcend - So Sad
Sep 15, 2012
I have been with Transcend for several years. I loved Transcend in the beginning. The people cared about me, actually made me feel worthy and valued (25+ years experience) and I felt as though I was part of a family. I was one of the highest producers because I actually ENJOYED my job. My quality score, even with high production was over 99% consistently. Something I took MUCH pride in. In the past year, all of that has changed drastically...so drastically.&nb ...
