Is Nuance a good place to work as a QC editor? - JustWondering

Posted: Feb 18, 2013

Is Nuance a good place to work as a QC editor? Has anyone been a QC editor for them before or is one currently? How is the pay? I saw it says hourly.

QC editor - been there

the pay was reasonable, you will work hard, but they fired whole US SWAT QC team with only a two-week notice and we worked all day long on the hard stuff other QC could not get

Pay - JustWondering

Why did they fire a whole team? And could you estimate how much QC is paid please? I just want to see if it is more than what I make currently.

My understanding was that is approximately $10-12 an hour. NM - anon

SWAT team was not fired, just the "team" of SWAT members was done away with. - I was SWAT, so I know.

I did not get fired. I was SWAT but the team was done away with. Maybe you were SWAT and were fired, but I find your information very hard to believe. SWAT was the "cream of the crop" and I for sure could not imagine them wanting to fire their "best" people, be it QC, QA or MT....

From the lowly point of view of the MT the main requirment to be QC at Nuance is - anon

(this is just my very humble opinion based on my personal experience at Nuance)

You must exhibit absolute inconsistency in your corrections from report to report. The more ways you can think of to do things, the better.

Second, you must be proficient at derogatory and condescending comments.

You absolutely MUST place commas in nonsensical places and give critical major errors for the MT interchanging the words "a" or "the."

The real key is to enjoy stripping every bit of self-confidence from the MT.

Justwondering: I agree with the above post. Are - you willing to do SM

these things in order to keep a job as QC? Personally, I could not. Has anyone who worked as QC for Nuance who no longer does willing to talk about the instructions you are given? It is said outright or is it implied? Do you go into it honestly and are then corrupted by upper management? Really curious about this.

And fill in lots of blanks - Amanda

Expect to fill in lots of blanks. My days of researching are over. If it's something coherent, I'll give it a quick search, but that's it. Forget going from book to book, Google, this site and that site.

Nayyyy. Not for 4 cents.

No, no, no.. - SM

They don't tell use (QC) to be derogatory. They tell us to be fair. The QC scores don't even count against your overall score. It's the QA (post audit, after the report goes to the client) scores you have a problem with. Most of the QA people are from India (unless you are on a US-only account and they are RARE). India QAs are the ones you have to worry about. I am a former QC and no longer work for Nuance. You have to understand there is a difference between QC and QA. Most of the QC people are just like you, and they get audited as well by the offshore India QA and the pay is insulting to boot.

Absolutely not. Please don't consider it. - sm

All they do is take advantage of people with low pay and you are still getting edited by QA and still have to go through all the usual stress, if not more. They take your average hourly rate you make as an MT and pay you that, so what is the point, really? More work, more stress, same pay? I don't see why anyone would even consider that, but to each their own. Outsider probably will start out at $10-12, as person said before.

I laughed – until I realized it may not be a typo or Freudian slip, but what they actually think we are worth. American MTSO, actual job ad. Before you all go crazy -- I know! They were probably filling out a form field that asked for salary and only let them enter numbers – I am sure they mean 5 to 8 cents per line, and the field defaults to per year.

I need to know if it is just me. I am so frustrated with this place. I thought I would enjoy getting paid by the line instead of hourly, but they just seem to do what they can to slow us down. They are constantly changing the account's specifics so you have to stop and read a paragraph before you can type EACH report. Also, constantly changing your account.....today you are on _____, then tomorrow without warning you are on _____. Also, it seems like every QC has a different way o ...

Hi - I am looking for recent and current info on Nuance. I have heard good things about them and bad, but want to hear from someone who currently works there. Do they make you stick to a certain schedule or are they flexible? How is QA? Do the account managers or team leads have multiple accounts to oversee or just 1 or 2? How is their communication?

I really appreciate all the replies, good and bad.

I've reached the point where I'll work for almost any company, even M-Modal or Nuance, if it means I can get a steady paycheck. My current company is going down the tubes fast. I've hung in here as long as I possibly can, but I think it's an exercise in futility. Does anyone at M-Modal or Nuance have any positive experiences, or is it really as bad as all the posts make it sound? Surely there must be "something" good, or they wouldn't have so man ...

My primary right now has a lot of work. I would like nothing more than to work until midnight and clear the work. Pre FIESA I would have done so. However, I lost the production bonus for this quarter (and boy that hurts - that is $50-100 a week I am missing) and I am probably one error (and we know how easy that is when you are doing a lot of work) from getting next quarter's taken away, so no thank you. I assume they will get me anyway, probably the last few days of the month when I ...

I'm not talking about the official proofreader positions that people hire in as.

Medical Transcriptionist Week began May 20th to recognize MTs over a week. The theme this year: Patient Safety. MTs across the country are transcribing medical records and are dedicated to being a 1st-line defense against errors that can negatively and sometimes fatally affect you as a patient - physicians make mistakes. MTs ensure those errors do not end up in your Electronic Medical Record. Healthcare consumers are you aware that local hospitals are outsourcing their work to what are kno ...
