Nuance purchased Accentus - anon

Posted: Nov 20, 2012

In case you haven't seen it on the other boards, just announced this morning. Accentus is actually Canadian company. I have to wonder about monopoly laws, but maybe with them being Canadian it won't matter? There is no place to run....Accentus had its problems, but the insurance was good and I was on an account that was 75% straight transcription, making 10 for straight, 6.5 VR....sigh...time to jump from this sinking ship of transcription :(

I do believe in the end it will be just M*Modal and Nuance, and maybe just 1, who will win? Will M*Modal gobble up Nuance or not?

Nuance seems to be "acquiring" at a rather rapid pace - anon

Just based on the rate Nuance is gobbling up the competition, I would have to say Nuance would be much more likely to be the last man standing.

I wonder if they can avoid the monopoly issue by virtue of the numerous very small companies that still exist.

Nuance will buy M*Modal. Definitely. - nm

and then hopefully we will all strike like the brave Wal-Mart employees.

I think MModal will win - dirty crooks

They have also bought up a bunch of companies in the past 2 years...

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. ...

That is unfair. They should just advertise under Nuance now. People might jump to the job thinking it is another company, and come to find out it is Nuance. This is false advertising. I surely wish Accentus would quit posting job openings. I get excited whenever I see a good job listing then I see it is Accentus/Nuance all over again. Sheesh. Thanks for listening to my little rant. ...

Hi. I haven't been working for Accentus very long, but long enough that I should be meeting the 200 lph requirement for SR, but I'm still really struggling to do it. I was wondering if anyone else had that experience or if maybe I am entering my time incorrectly or something. I consistently average 165 lph for straight transcription so I feel like 200 is something I shouldn't be struggling so hard to meet, but I am. I love Accentus so far so I don't wa ...
