Laid off by Nuance due to Satellite only. - Suzy Q
Posted: May 09, 2012
I have heard that their transcription and editing platforms -- Escription will work with satellite internet. I know I am not the only one who could no longer work at Nuance due to only having satellite internet. I was working for awhile at my daughter's home, but that did not work out too well due to house overrun by all the kids and their friends. If I could have had my own private office, I would have stayed there to work.
Anyway that is all beside the point. Maybe Nuance will relaize that they need MT's they lost from Transcend and other companies which they swallowed up. Who knows what will happen though.
How did your interview work out...SM - Peanut
[ In Reply To ..]Did you interview with Kristal? I'm not sure if they allow satellite either. Let me know.
Hi Peanut. - Suzy Q
[ In Reply To ..]After interview she said she would call me back or send email. She has not done either. She did call my references because I am still friends with my old boss from old job. She gave me a great review, not because we are friends, but she says I was one of her best employee and always did my work on time. Anyway I don't think Kristal wants to hire me, maybe it is cuz of the satellite issue, but I put that on my application. Not sure why, but she has never called me back.
Oh well you know sometimes things go good and sometimes they don't. LOL. Personally she sounded very picky and critical about everything I said to her. Not sure I would want to work there if that is an example of how they treat you there.
Thanks for asking though. Have a good day Peanut.
I thought they had on their job ad that they accept sat. now? - blondie
[ In Reply To ..]Or is that just for BeyondTXT, which is coming in with Transcend. See that worries me because I only have satellite, and eventually Nuance is gonna change BeyondTXT to Escription I'm sure. That is what they eventually did with Webmedx folks.

How Does A Company Know If You Use Satellite
Nov 22, 2011
Many companies specify no satellite. Is this uncompatible with their system or do they just prefer no satellite so say no satellite? I mean how do they really know or not if you have it? Have you thought of that. I mean some companies that use Escription say you can use satellite and some say no you can't. If they are using the same platform how can it work with one company and not the other? ...

I REALLY love the jobs I have, but I remember when hired they said no satellite. Does anyone even know why this is? Will the programs not work with satellite or is it just some kind of privacy policy and would they find out if I just switched to satellite when I moved and didn't say anything? ...
Satellite Providers
Nov 06, 2014
I posted this on the main board and no one replied, so I figured maybe it should have been posted here on the Tech Help. I currently use Starband, an older satellite provider. Where I live no DSL, cable or cell phone signal. Starband just raised my monthly rate, so I am looking into switching. I have Dish TV and see that they have internet satellite, but I don't know anyone who has this. I have been doing transcription from home for 18 years and have used Starband since then. I was wonderi ...

Question About Platforms With Satellite
Nov 03, 2010
There seem to be a lot of companies that say no dial-up or satellite. BUT I've heard from other MTs that use the same platform for another company on satellite and it's fine. Escription is one example. Can anyone tell me why that might be? I have only satellite and am very limited on who I can work from. It's way beyond frustrating when I've been refused application on multiple positions on a certain platform 'because it doesn't work with sa ...

Blondie, Opti-Script does allow satellite.

Also Precyse allows satellite but I do not recommend that company. But maybe that's just me! Good luck! ...
