Nuance stock with C- rating

Interesting article from WSJ about possible news of Nuance selling off parts of its holdings: (it is all conjecture at this point, but interesting that Goldman is often called in to make major changes, and sometimes it involves sale of parts or all of the company) Nuance Communications Inc. NUAN +4.13%, the speech-recognition software maker in which investor Carl Icahn recently took a stake, is seeking advice from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS ...

Is it the norm to get dinged for leaving a blank when you supervisor is checking accuracy? I think this is kind of unfair because if you are not sure of something and trying to be careful, why would you get dinged? Also, do you have specific guidelines as to what is expected, such as what is considered slang, et cetera. We started getting audited but have no criteria. ...

Has anyone taken this course? Have you been able to pass a certifying exam with what you learned in this course? Thank in advance. ...

http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/snapshot/snapshot.asp?ticker=MEDQ:US Sure hope the bigwigs know what their doing for their pay. ...

Does anyone know if the exchange Medquist is offering is a good deal. I have shares (not sure how many). Don't want to miss a good deal, but also don't want to be taken. I'm don't know anything about these things, so anyone with info please share. Thanks in advance. ...

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. ...

Wow. Posted this on company board but wanted to post here as well - some of you may feel vindicated. LPn ...

Any thoughts on this merger???? ...

Does anyone know why the ad says "No inquiries from overseas" when they obviously offshore the work? Anyone reading that would incorrectly assume they do not offshore. I was reading an article in the newspaper that a journalist was talking about a few days ago regarding the hospital outsourcing to the Web/Nuance, and the spokesperson for the hospital said in the article that the company only employs US MTs. ...

The ad Nuance has up says increased PTO. Anyone willing to tell me what it is now. Also information on their bonus program would be helpful. Thank you. ...

....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 ...

What do Nuance MT's get for editing and transcribing per line. Thanks ...

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 ...

Did anyone hear anything about changes for QA. I heard there was a webinar today? ...

Has Nuance/Alphastaff released W2s yet? Quit mid-December, have no idea. Thanks! ...

Is there a specific QA staff? I was under the impression that the team managers did most of the QA. Is that correct? Or how is the QA done? Someone said below that QA is paid hourly; I was under the impression it was cpl. Any info on QA structure for Nuance would be helpful. Thanks in advance. ...

Does anyone know if Nuance hires IC's? I could not find it anywhere. It could be a solution for me if they do. Thanx in advance. ...

I have an interview this week with Nuance. Any advice on what to expect? I'm interviewing for an MT job and have been reading some posts on here about the company and it's not looking good. ...

Had our usual update this morning from my AM, one of the best IMO and the reason many of us stayed after Nuance took over. Then at 1:30 an e-mail that he is no longer with the company??? What is going on??? (DO) ...

Can anyone help me with instructions on how to create a new entry in the carbon copy? I am getting lots of dictations where I can't find that particular physician in the CC list and need to create a new one. I am new and need help. Thanks in advance! ...

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 ...

Anyone willing to share how much per line they make with VR or straight transcription? Or any information how the company is with raises? Thank you ...

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. ...

Nuance servers were down all day yesterday as well as Transcend servers? Really? We were told in an email it had nothing to do with Nuance. That's quite a coincidence, don't ya think? Oh gosh, I sure hope this doesn't indicate the way things are going to go in the future with Nuance. Does this happen often there? ...

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. ...
