Nuance computer requirements - LAF
Posted: Jan 30, 2013
I have just received the computer specifications to begin working for Nuance. I need to purchase a new computer. My husband would like to buy a MAC. Is a MAC compatible with Nuance's specifications. Does anyone have any experience using a MAC who works for Nuance? I have never used a MAC for transcription, only art programs at college, so I don't know much about it. Thank you!

You might be able to run the program Virtual PC on your MAC - which would let you run PC programs. I would double check with them tho. I was hired, bought a new computer (I specifically asked what kind) - bought what they suggested, but lo and behold, IE8 (which they require you to run) didn't run on my brand new PC. Double and triple check with them first...Hope that helps... I know for M*Modal you can put Virtual PC on your Mac and it will run M*Modal's programs... Just FYI

QA Requirements For Nuance? Feb 13, 2012Does anyone know what the QA requirements are to be employed in QA with Nuance? I have been transcribing for over 20 years and take pride in the reports that I produce. I have been working for Nuance for about six months now and as this company seems to hold a higher standard of accuracy percentage (98.5% compared to 98% with other companies), I had assumed that their QA department was very experienced. However, after my latest failed audit, I found this to be disturbingly incorrect. Last week, ...
Nuance FT Requirements Nov 28, 2012Wanting to cut hours down but still be eligible for PTO and health insurance (If I have to take it out for myself alone). Like most of us I have another job on the side but can't afford to totally give this up either. Is it 30 hours to be considered FT? I sure wish this fictitious employee handbook would appear in print somewhere. TIA.

Accuracy Requirements Of Nuance Dec 01, 2013A friend of mine works at Nuance (formerly worked at Transcend, but of course Nuance is gobbling up every MTSO) and said they require 99% accuracy. And rather than an average, they run the accuracy on every single report so that even though, for example, 5 reports may be 100% accurate, if one is 98%, you're screwed. Since when did the industry standard go from 98% to 99%? Plus apparently you are marked down for blanks no matter what. Whenever I have worked in a "real" healthcare organizatio ...

As I do not have a good feeling whatsoever about this new pay plan at Nuance, I am preparing to leave this nasty company after the first of the year​ and am trying to get everything in order. The first order of business is to buy a new computer. I believe new computers come with Windows 8. Does anyone know if that is compatible with most transcription needs today, or does one have to have Windows 7 installed? If so, is that commercially availab ...

Physical Requirements? Jul 01, 2010I've been thinking about going into coding, but what is it like physically?

Are Requirements Getting Higher Aug 03, 2010Seems to me, "one year acute care experience" was the basic requirement to sign on with an MTSO. Then it went to three years. Now, a lot of places require "five years' experience." Plus, QA has gotten unbelievably picky. I've always had top-notch quality and even been complimented personally by physicians at various local clinics. Recruiters call my test scores "excellent." And YET, wherever I start working, my QA looks like the homework of some dyslexic third-grader that comes back fr ...

I have had 20 years of A&P and know a considerable amount about disease process. I have been studying coding on my own for about a year now. I know that your chances for passing the test are better if you have been in the coding business for several years, but has anyone out there taken the CCS just by studying and utilizing their life e ...
