Nuance testing compared to other company tests, ie Softscript. - Suzy Q


Posted: Mar 21, 2012

I have taken so many tests lately with probably dozens of companies.  I am wondering how you feel about Nuance tests and if it is harder or easier than the other companies.  I personally thought Softscript test was kind of hard, compared with Nuance.  Some of the transcription audio files were a little hard with mumbling and fast talking dictators, but really not bad when compared to others.   Hopefully I might be hired with Nuance, so no more testing, I hope.  I have never had such a hard time finding a job -- really awful being on the outside unemployed.

Nuance is a horrible company to be honest. The QA is terrible and I have done QA for years. They outsource also. If I were you, I would keep looking and not go with Nuance. Just my opinion though. I don't know what all the hype is about them, but of all the places I have worked they are the worst. Apply with Accentus. I'm going back into medical coding. MT business has gone downhill and not worth it anymore.

Thank you. - mt2

I took a MT job with Nuance 4 months ago and I absolutely hate it. I have been a MT for 25 years. I have always had high QAs. WTH is up with this QC crap on the pay stubs? I went from high 90s to low 70s and then 80s the last 2 pay periods. My daily grades are mostly A's. I asked this to a QA who said she didn't know. Excuse me? I am so ready to get out of MTing.

Webmedx/Nuance Pay Compared To 6 Months Ago
Jun 04, 2012

Is anyone who transitioned from Webmedx to Nuance making more than they were 6 months ago?  We got a letter in January stating we would be by now because of "performance improvements and increased production capcity." Well that is not happening.  After the next cut in pay, I think I will be close to minimum wage real soon here. ...


When Will Coding Certification Tests Implement ICD-10 Testing?
Jan 06, 2015

Has there been an "official" word on when certification tests (CCA, CCS, CPC) will begin using ICD-10. AHIMA site indicates "once ICD-10 is implemented," which I assume would be October, but I swear I've seen posts that people have taken the tests using ICD-10 recently...?   Thank you! ...

Just Finished Testing With Softscript
Mar 16, 2012

I just finished testing with Softscript.  Whew that was kind of hard -- much different than what the other companies have you do.  You really had to know your medical terminology and about disease processes and what medicines are used for what.  Now I just have to wait to hear results and if I have a job or not.  This is so agonizing at times!!!!   ...

Company Testing.......
Jan 07, 2010

I tested for a company who stated that my skills were not up to their requirements, which I find very difficult to believe, as I have been in this business for 10 years, nonetheless, I am beginning to wonder if some of these companies are not scamming us.  I was required to transcribe four different files with the shortest one being 6 minutes and the longest 12 minutes, but apparently, they were not good enough.  Again, I am baffled as I kept all the files I did and I did not find one ...

Testing For Nuance.
Feb 24, 2012

What do you think about objective test for Nuance?  I thought that part was fairly easy, but not the transcription part.   I can do great on actual transcribing in job setting, but for some reason I always do poorly on testing for jobs.  Am I the only one who has trouble or are there are other people like me here.  Very frustrating when trying to get job and you cannot even pass the stupid test!!!!!!    ...


Testing With Nuance
Dec 03, 2013

I've applied with Nuance & would like some info about their testing procedure.  Is actual  transcription required (as opposed to only multiple choice, etc.)? If so, what kind of foot pedal is needed? What is the level of difficulty, is it easy or hard to understand, ESL, etc?  (I have visited another forum in the past ... several MTs who had applied to both M-Modal and Nuance stated that one of the 2 was fairly easy for an experienced MT to pass; however, the other was h ...

Approved time sheet for last week. Used the new pay plan to see the difference. I had over 99% and under 10%. Good thing because I MADE LESS MONEY with this new plan, almost $40. That's for 1 week. So multiply that by 4 weeks - $160 per month. I don't think so. Already took a pay cut by doing VR. Time to start sending out resumes. ...
