How long does it take Nuance to convert platforms to their methods on companies and accounts acquire - scared of change


Posted: Sep 24, 2013

My company was acquired by Nuance a few months back and so far the only thing that has changed has been e-mail addresses.  Paystubs even still reflect our original company name.  Will they keep our proprietary platform or make us change to eScription soon?  Also, we're all ICs.  Does anyone know if we will be required to become Nuance employees at the first of the year? 

It all depends on the account. - Alicia

Our hospital went to Nuance and we now have Power Scribe. I was an IC with Nuance for about 1-1/2 yrs. They don't hire ICs as a rule, kept me and a few former employees from the hospital as ICs, and then didn't renew our contracts after it was apparent the transition was going to take a long tie. It took a long time due to the demands and special requests of the physicians as well as some interface glitches. They told me I could apply for my job as an employee, which I did not do.

I don't know, but the fact that you have to ask here - SM

speaks volumes on just how in the dark they like to keep you here at Nuisance.

I know this has been asked before, but I wanted something a little more current. I'm doing a survey to get input for the vast number of MTs (including myself) who are looking for work, and are discouraged by the lack of optimism on the boards (albeit not unfounded).  If anyone has anything good to say about their company, platform, pay, or anything else they might find helpful, please respond and let us know what you like about it.  Also, to narrow the search, whether yo ...

I am surprised they didn't have the meeting muted on your side so they could just spin their side of everything and to $#$@ with the questions.  Your grid must evidently be different from the one we are on (Enterprise system) but I am sure if they take away something from one group, they will find a way to hit another group next.  Didn't they try to reduce your rates once before, then backpedaled on it?  Not sure how many of you are impacted by this, but I have to wonde ...

Does Anyone Know If Nuance Platforms Are Compatible With Office 365?

Hello.  I am looking into a job with Nuance and am wondering if their platforms are compatible with Microsoft Office 365?  I was told by the recruiter I need at minimum Microsoft Word 2007 Professional.  I have Microsoft Office 2003 Student/Teacher right now and I would rather get all the programs if I could.  That is where the question is coming from.  Thanks! ...

My Thoughts On MT And Companies (long :)

I posted this awhile back on the main board and thought I would share over here too.

Does anyone have any recommendations on companies with accounts that use ExText--and have decent tech support?  Yeah, I know, I' asking for the moon.  But I've been sitting here screaming for hours now bc the techs and managers for the umpteenth time have left me dead in the water and don't care.  I'm taking out my umpteenth payday loan to get by and it's just not working for me anymore.  (I've also worked on NCH software.)

VR Methods
Mar 09, 2012

When I had my training for VR, they told us how to listen and edit at the same time -- something that sounded impossible to do!  You start listening to the job, then when you find a spot to edit, detach the cursor from the highlight, make the edit, then reattach the cursor to the spot immediately after your correction, and continue on. This sounded very confusing then - and it still does now.  Therefore, I've been listening, moving the cursor along with the dictation, then s ...


SR Pay Methods/standards

My hospital is transitioning into SR using APEX.

So I don't really remember, but I do NOT recall them offering a choice of NOT accepting to become an employee of Nuance, just all the details of what the merger or whatever it was would be. I get that they would not want everyone to quit en masse, but was there no choice even offered, which is how I recall it, and is it legal for them to do that?    So has anyone else been allowed to make that choice, i.e., UE rather than being sold to the devil?  I would be interested to ...

Re the post from the person who posted "So long Nuance." I could have written that post regarding time off without pay. When you get in your 60s (as I am) if you have an income you can get by on (my husband has a decent job and I am taking early SS), time with the people you love is the most precious thing you can have. In your 60s, you have probably already lost friends and relatives, and living life to the full becomes the most important thing in your life. At the same time, sometimes you ...

So Long Nuance-Hello Menards

I wanted to make sure the new job was going to work out before I told you all about it. After 43 years as a medical transcriptionist (will turn 65 next month), I did leave Nuance and started working at Menards as a cashier. For those who do not know (since Menards is only in 14 states so far), it is the third largest do-it-yourself store company, right behind Home Depot and Lowe's. Though there are advantages to the new job, for example, certainly I'll be making more money (though a ve ...
