Read the multiple posts below concerning the merger. It was not officially off; however, Transcend seemed to be dragging their feet and had not met one of the conditions for the merger. Nuance extended the deadline for that condition to be met, and now they just totally waived the condition, so it will proceed as planned. You can Google Nuance/Transcend merger and there are multiple market sites that report on this, it is not just from 1 source.
Oh, I see. - had not been following. Thought it

was moving along as planned. Thanks for the info.
News found on Google: Nuance "extends" offer to Transcend, evidently it is not yet a done deal, here is a link:

I came in with the merger of MDI a year+ ago. I almost got an ulcer reading some of these posts, seriously. While you must consider what you see here, especially when there is an abundance of similar opinions, be aware, a small percentage of the company's MTs post here.
I will offer my advice. Treat it like a death of a spouse. Mourn your loss and look towards the future. Don't make any big changes for 1 year, or at minimum 4-6 months. Go with ...
Here's a link to the merger agreement. WARNING: This is not for the faint at heart!

So how is the merger going between DTS America and Transcend? Is Transcend keeping the promise that nothing will change - pay - accounts? Just curious..... ...
Can anyone currently working in QA at Nuance comment on how the position is compensated. Do you get an hourly wage like we currently do at Transcend or can we expect to be switched to production based. Do you even have QA staff? The company I came from previously (Medquist) practically did away with their QA staff, making them MTs/QA. Just wondering what I can expect. Thanks for your opinions. ...
Here it is - chosen wording - ambiguous production pay and benefit plans "will be reviewed." I, as may other Transcend employees - have a current line compensation rate of 9.5 cents per line on straight transcription; some much higher - having been hired with heavy - over 80% ESL. Nuance MTs - what do you think the chances are we will "retain" our current line rates - WITHOUT Escription. All responses warmly welcomed.
From Letter to Employees - last week A ...
Looks like they are feeling the impact of angry and/or exiting MTs. I got E-mail about the 99% used if no audits done and they are back tracking on that now. I heard they were going back on reducing some platforms by the 88%. That totally sucked for them to just throw that in as an afterthought. "Oh, by the way, we forgot to tell you...."
I do appreciate that we got back the weekend differential, tiny though it may be. That is the ONLY good thing I can say.

Hi,
Anyone else recently quit this ridiculous farce of a company called Nuisance... I mean Nuance, and they never mentioned one word about having you ship back the foot pedal? Do they eventually send out a notice to ship it back or you won't get your last paycheck? Just curious... No big loss, my paycheck that is, as I was earning less than minimum wage. Got a pacycheck for 80 hours that was less than $200 a week. Seems they have it set up to purposely m ...
I'm trying to decide whether to apply at Transcend, Nuance or MQ. Any inputs from those MTs that work at these 3 companies?
I would greatly appreciate your assistance as all 3 companies have contacted me and I'm very leery of Nuance because of the offshore connection. Does Transcend or MQ send our work offshore or are owned by offshore companies?
Thanks for your honesty.
...
Having phone interviews tomorrow.....any input from knowledgeable MTs? I have not been in the job search for years, feel like a duck out of water....thank you for any input! ...
I have a lump in my throat today about the merger. I am wondering if there is anything positive that can come out of this. Do part time workers receive any benefits? Are there any typing accounts at Nuance or is it all VR? TIA ...
Well, well, well. Looks like some of the Transcend QA hagathas must be QAing Nuance's work now because they are marking off for every little thing! I get marked off because I forgot to add a dash. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I was QC myself but went back to being an MT due to the low pay per hour, and I just noticed this. They want to make sure no one will ever get that bonus it looks like! ...
The latest pay cut was my final straw. I'm starting my first classes in February for a new career in a field that has nothing to do with healthcare and working every single weekend and holiday for the rest of my life while watching my pay go down instead of up with the more experience I gain. Thank you for destrying what I considered a career and turning into something I loathe getting out of bed and having to do. ...
I am thinking about both Nuance and Transcend. Does anyone like working for Nuance? Does anyone have any advice? Left MQ - looking for something better. ...
Transcend employees received notification this morning that Transcend is being bought out by Nuance. Transition expected to happen during the second half of Nuance's fiscal year 2012. Those of you with Nuance - is this a good thing? ...
just got a new computer, and realized the box says 64 bit -- I think i remember being told that is not compatible with the job stuff. Do you know???? what is that mean anyway, "bit"? ...
to actually make a living. Before Nuance bought Transcend I almost always had PLENTY of work. For the last month or so, work has been very, very, very scarce on a once very busy account. Had the offer to be transferred to a different region, but who knows how the work load would be in another region. I have a sinking feeling all the regions are pretty much the same. Besides, I really like my supervisor and pretty much like the accounts I'm on. Just not en ...
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. ...
Please excuse if this is a duplicate message. I would like to find out from the MTs out there what their thoughts, suggestions, etc., are about Nuane/Transcend Services. I have recently learned that the current hospital I am doing transcription for is going to be outsourcing to this company. I would appreciate thoughts, concerns...no venting please. ...
Just to go ahead and make the change and hopefully avoid some of the stress with the transition?
I see that Nuance has ads up for MTs. I'm also concerned about whether or not they will hire all MTs from Transcend during the buyout.

I formally worked for Transcend Services and would advise people not to work for this organization. They are now switching over to Nuance, but stay away from them. They are extremely critical of everything you do. This is supposedly because they think they have such high standards, but they just enjoy being mean and critical to transcriptionists, who pay everyone's salaries. They terrorized the transcriptionists with their QA reviews, so much so that many transcripti ...
