How much is expected to change once Transcend - becomes part of Nuance?


Posted: Mar 10, 2012

Transcend has so many different levels of management, a different clocking system, and an expected dollar amount per pay-period. Just wondering how the company will be affected as a whole. What do you guys think?

I don't know, but is the bizarrely problematic QA - person I ran into 3 years ago still there? I

remember wondering why on earth she wasn't fired for causing all that trouble, and I know from stories posted here that she was still up to mischief well after I left.

Once Nuance takes over then you will be on Nuance's terms - apple

Pay scale, benefits, etc. I don't believe they have a specific dollar amount, but they go by line counts.

The switchover may be gradual. - WMXer in the process.

RE: Management, some of ours have positions within Nuance. My "supe" stayed the same, thank goodness. Right now I am using the same Webmedx platform as before the buyout (MT-unfriendly Enterprise) with promises of a speech rec upgrade. Some accounts have already been upgraded. In all fairness, Nuance allows a slightly higher LPH rate for the clunky platform, but surely that will change once we all have the upgrade. I currently sign into 2 clocking systems--the old one and the company-wide payroll one. Can't remember when WMX was bought out, but I don't remember anything really changing until Jan 1. So, you might have some time to adjust as they gradually roll out changes for you. BTW, welcome aboard fellow Nuance buyout employee. : )

Change Of Attitudes At Transcend
Mar 18, 2010

Is any one else getting the feeling that no one cares about us at Transcend?  No one ever says thank you anymore unless it is one of those "oh, hum, guess maybe we better toss the whole crew a bone" type things.  There is no individual recognition, nothing being done to make you feel like you have a home or even belong to what they call a "team".  You are really isolated.  Of course the nastygrams still come in if you make a mistake, but a few of my teammates and I have notic ...

How Are We Expected To Get Anything Right
Oct 09, 2013

I go to the "examples" in repository and every one is formatted differently for the same work type by the same dictator. Not to mention what is probably "standard text" are all different as well. Then you have QA who mark you wrong for things one way, then you change it (against your better judgement) and do it their way, only to be marked wrong again. So you ask your QA lead who tells you the way it is supposed to be, only to go into the transcrption guide and find out YOU were doing it the ...

Editors Expected To ..... ?
Apr 13, 2013

I started a new client for an MTSO recently. One ESL dictator's H&Ps are so out of order they require a ton of reformatting. This is the order he dictated: History of Present Illness, Past Medical History, Chief Complaint, Plan, PE, Review of Systems, Assessment/Plan. The template has to have formatting changed (bold headings and point size), the guy is very difficult to understand, does not use proper grammar and needs most sentences restructured. He slurs through the Review of Systems ...


What Should Be Expected As A Fair Rate Now
Sep 15, 2011

I have never seen pay so low for MTs....I am really pretty shocked to see some of the rates.  I do realize that good ol' 11-12 cpl is never going to be coming back, I know the economy is not good for anyone, businesses included, but I really am wondering how low can I go and still make a decent living?  Now I am talking about somebody with a lot of years of experience in all fields.  I am thinking no lower than 8 for me, and even that makes me cringe, and I am trying to psych ...

Transcend: So Much For "nothing Will Change."
May 18, 2010

I was part of the last MDI/Transcend merger.  We were told repeatedly that nothing would change.  Now I'm finding that slowly but surely we're being eased to schedules.  It's as if we're idiots and don't understand what's going on.  Some of the TL's even have the nerve to be stating things that never were as if they've always been in terms of the way we cover our accounts.  Just so tired of this. ...


Sex Change
Nov 22, 2009

I love typing up extremely large reports on a patient with a name that can be either sex (with no info in ADT about the sex either) and then at the very end of a report, the dictator saying:  Ya know, this is a male/female rather than a female/male, please change things around in the report.  Love it! ...


Why Would MME Change

mom to mother on a VERBATIM account at every instance of dictator clearly saying mom? Is there something I am missing? I wish they would leave some kind of note stating why this was changed. Client profile clearly states "this is a verbatim accouint" and "type as dictated."  QTL does not answer email.  I usually ignore these things, but sometimes it is hard not to get frustrated when you leave 1 blank and get back several corrections for this kind of stuff.  Thanx for th ...

Change Is Bad
Sep 11, 2010

There is a book called "Who moved my cheese?" that I would highly recommend for those who are struggling so much with the upgrade.  From this board, it seems that there is no possibility that a major upgrade in a complicated software in and of itself might need some bugs ironed out (anyone heard of Windows?) as opposed to an evil company finding a way for people on the other side of the world to spy on you while you work or a bunch of overpaid executives sitting around a table discussing ho ...

We had management changes over the weekend for my new account and the new manager sent out e-mails today that we have to get new e-mails, must start using some probably crap butt IM program (I HATE IM!) and they insist that if your account runs out of work that you wait 10 minutes, then e-mail them then wait up to 15 minutes to see if they can find you some work before you can move to your secondary if that account has work.  Meanwhile that means 25 minutes of no pay time waiting around for ...

Before this recent change, I had a pretty good account and nice supervisor and QA person.  Before that account, I had a horrible one, so the second one was like heaven.  I had it for maybe a year, then this switch.  Now I'm getting a lot of muffled reports I can barely make out, and a lot more ESL doctors and mumblers.  I just want to cry.   As far as the sound, I never thought, after all the years I've been doing this, that we'd still be contend ...

So, Do You Think Medquist Will Change Their Name?

They always have in the past.  Medquist/Secrephone merge became MRC Group.  Then MRC Group and Transcription Limited became Medquist.  Since Spheris was bankrupt and every one knows Medquist and they were number 1 and number 2 big companies, I am wondering if they would change their name.  Last time when the company came up with the name Medquist, it was done by a contest and the employes had to vote for the new name. ...

In your opinion would the courses there be suffice to work as a MT? For those working as MT, what do ...
