Nuance brochure - workhorse

Posted: May 08, 2013

I ran across this brochure on the Nuance website. If it doesn't get you mad you might get a laugh at it. It talks about it's talented, highly experienced MLSs and how financially sound the company is, unlike others, over 1 billion $ strong. And yet, they keep reducing our pay and our benefits. Unbelievable. Letter going out to the CEO and all those below him soon.

I mean, come on, silly Nuance - SM

"A dedicated and independent Quality Compliance Team is consistently
monitoring the quality of the produced documents. These deeply experienced
auditors work independently from the MLS production team and proactively
address any quality issues."

Deeply experienced? Is that why you hire QA with absolutely no transcription experience whatsoever? LOLOLOLOL

Like the sh_ts getting deep kind of deeply experienced?

Excuse me, but I have years of transcription experience. - Now I am QA.

Please do not make general comments regarding all QA. We all have transcription experience. Before you post your nasty comments, how about getting the facts straight.

too bad you're not paid for all your experience.

QA has to have MT experience, I don't dispute that - anon

But why are they so incredibly nasty? That isn't a requirement.

Nuance QA are the biggest bunch of jerks I have ever dealt with. I work as an MT at Nuance and do QA for a different big company. It is hilarious for me to be getting the great and wise comments from QA as if I just crawled out of a really bad MT school. As if the difference between typing "a" or "the" is going to result in the death of a patient.

The depth of hate I have for Nuance QA is an endless pit.

You are making a general comment yourself - SM

Not all of you have transcription experience and it is to those whom I was referring in my original post. How is it possible that you know every single person who works in QA and their background? You don't. Let me see if I can find a link to a post from awhile ago so I can prove that they DO in fact hire off the street with no experience. I'll be back.

Here is an old post from glass door - SM

This is the first time I've done this, and I'd like to offer a free trial. However, I can't do too much as I'm still working for an MTSO. Any suggestions on what would be a reasonable amount of work to do for free? Not sure if I should say something like maximum 10 letters, or maybe 1, 2, 3, days average work. I think the trial would be of mutual benefit. I'd get an idea of how difficult their work is and they could see the quality of my work. Would ...

While purusing the classes offered, looking for possibly a career change, lo and behold, no MT classes being offered any longer. Coding, yes. CNA, yes. In home caregiver, yes. Nail tech, yes. ..... MT, no. Thinking of real estate now as there is an upswing in that direction. ...

According to a poster below which has apparently already attended one of the payroll meetings (as the poster posted) for nuance they have decided to keep the incentive part of all of our pay going with an exception that now you have to have over the industry standard of 98% to get a production based incentive. In addition (if this poster is accurate) they have again cut the overall pay from 8 and 4 to 3 3/4 AND 7 1/2. This is nothing but a bunch of crapploa...an MT who is now getting ...

that fall during the shift. For example, if half of your hours fall in 3rd shift and half fall in 1st shift, do the 3rd shift hours pay more cpl? Or, do all hours have to fall within the shift to qualify? Thanks, Yet another sad Transcend employee... ...

I thought they were 2 different services. Everyone is buying out everyone, so who knows. All the small companies have been merged I guess. I thought Nuance was out of New York and were the primary with VR. Maybe one has to keep up with the changes and be a member and pay the dues and go to the meetings with AAMT and be a CMT to keep up with the changes, even though you still get 4 cents. ...

....First send us an email with fabulous Nuance ins (bad news) because they had to announce that due to open season. However at the same time telling us that the new pay structure (probably more bad news) will be announced at a later date but will be effective Jan 1 2012. Good way to keep us hanging on while they are so behind with their horrid platform. Guess what Nuance/Nuisance, it will not work as your reputation has gone from bad to worse and we are now realizing that the We ...

If Webmedx does away with or changes their recently advertised "PRODUCTION BASED INCENTIVE" bonus and adopts the Nuance quality based bonus then this change may be considered by quite a few WMX employees as yet another cut in pay. I’m sure that there are quite a few MT’s currently at WMX that have a high QA average and are earning $300-$400 (some even more) in production incentive pay each pay period, which equates to $600-$800 per month. As an example, acco ...

Is this true? Because if so that means they dont take into consideration years of experience, opportunity for increase or nothing. Seems kind of hard to work for an obviously big and successful company that is only willing to pay their employees 0.41 cpl and thats it, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. I mean they dont come off to be the type of company that "cant" afford to give increases in pay to their transcriptionist. I heard that if you work from 10pm to 6pm you can make 0.46 cpl, bet ...

I received an incentive bonus this paycheck (for the first time ever). My QA score was 99.3%. So, I get an email today from my supervisor that my latest audit was only 98.2% and they are going to reaudit me in 2 weeks to see if my score is improving or if I need further disciplinary action. WTF? I've been with Nuance for 3 years and think it's time to jump ship. This company is messed up, and the QA is so inconsistent. ...

In house just got outsourced to Nuance. In our meeting, they said the PTO is 10 days total, which you have to use for holidays and sick time as well. So, if you take all 6 holidays (if that is even possible), you get 4 days off a year? Not even a week for vacation left over. Someone asked if that changes with time of service and they said no, that will never go up. ARE YOU KIDDING? Is this what the rest of you get for PTO, or is this just something they have s ...

I have been with Nuance a few years. I'm an MT. I'm not the best MT out there, nor am I the worst. I read the comments on these boards and my jaw is on the floor. FYI, not everyone has the bad experiences that have been discussed on this site. I can't account for the horrible things I hear people saying about Nuance, except to say if things are really that bad for you, maybe MT is not for you or Nuance is not a good fit for your career path. ...

I AM SO LIVID! These QCs are unbelievable! I used "and" instead of "the" and the QC marks me off for English misspelling/typo which is a 0.5 error instead of an English word misuse which is less at 0.25. Do you think "and" and "the" are typos? I think not! You see, this is evidence that they are being totally unfair and proof that they do not want anyone to make incentive! This is my opinion! Anything to bring your score down! Man this pisses me off!&n ...

I don't work for Nuance but have a question. Somewhere on MTStars, I saw the amount they deduct from your pay if your QA percentage is low. Please explain. How much do they pay per line and how much do they deduct if you have low QA percentage? Thanks so much in advance. I have looked and looked but can't find the previous post. ...

There is someone who claims to be a QC for Nuance and that they are only paid minimum wage for this position. That is utter nonsense. Why would any experienced MLS take a minimum wage job in the MT industry when you could make more than that on production easily. If you are experienced enough to be in QC or QA then please don't lie to the rest of us and tell us that you only make minimum wage. ...

I am really in need of a job, and because I like eScription and ExText for the most part, I thought Nuance was the most likely candidate. However, I'm hearing terrible things about them. I know some have good experiences and some bad, but I'm not in a position where I want to struggle through several months of working and then quit because there's no money in it. I did have an interview, and my red flag was that the interviewer said that they had 80 to 100% ESL on some ac ...
