The whole thing makes my skin crawl, but I find the comments about recruitment of women because "they like that" with regard to staying home so upsetting. So much of this unfairness (low wages, unpaid work, bullying, etc.) boils down to the fact that the majority of MLS are women. I need a new word for the amount of hatred I have for this company. Contempt doesn't begin to cover it. Nuance is beyond disgusting.
Thanks so much for taking all the work in my primary and giving it to offshore so that I had to go to my secondary We-Don't-Speak-No-Good-English account! Thanks for helping me lower my line average with that awesome secondary and raising my QC average! Thanks for making me sign in and out 10 times yesterday to see if there was work! Thanks for taking the work (all out of TAT) and giving it back to onshore a half hour before my shift was over! Thanks for making me lose sleep over ...
when their own employees don't even understand how they are compensated? Is it the kind of thing where you have to take the job before you understand what you will be paid? Can anyone say "byzantine"? ...
and I don't know why. I have always been able to see an ad, respond to it, and have the job and the schedule I wanted now I'm not even getting responses to resumes and I'm wondering if it's because I'm so close to retirement. I haven't worked that many places that it looks like I'm job jumping so I can't think of anything else and I'm getting a little nervous. I need a second job really bad! ...
I just had interview with Softscript and found out that they do not hire any part-time MT's. Here they let me do testing and go to all that trouble and never even looked at my application, where I distinctly siad I wanted only part-time. Just shows how much they look at your application. So I am wondering now if Nuance hires that way. If not then this is probably a waste of time too. Very frustrating that these companies do not let you know up front.  ...
I just got a job with Nuance. My computer runs Windows 8 and I haven't heard back from them yet so I'm wondering is they send new hires a computer to borrow or do I need to go find one that will run their programs? TYIA ...
Thanks to Healthcare Documentation Today facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/healthcaredocumentationtoday) for this link.
Could this be the final nail in the coffin?
Sounds like they're using the US business "model" for how to treat your employees like slaves and keep a track on them every minute - but they get to do their "household activity" so everything's A-okay!!!

A legal contact was inquiring about the connection of medical mistakes related to off-shored transcription mistakes. I have told him to review these boards and hopefully he will benefit from the information here.
While he did not discuss the exact case, I think that he will be able to use the off-shore transcription issue to his client's benefit or at least highlight that the provider in question does not have as rigorous control on processing records as other pr ...
I have a doc on the line dictating today and giving me an offshore # on an op report. Has anyone ever heard of this? Are we supposed to include this in the report? ...
Someone is spreading LIES. QC and QA are both done onshore. I know because I work in QA. We audit both offshore and onshore MTs, not the other way around and our managers are onshore too. When Nuance bought Focus, they changed all that. This info is not a secret. Just ask HR. It seems the TLs need to be educated on this as well. ...
Does anyone know for sure that Nuance sends work offshore?? It makes a difference in some states where employees get laid off when places like Nuance comes in and "buys" their department. Workers can be eligible for federal help if the work is sent offshore. ...
I've never posted and this is only the second visit. I'm someone who was seriously considering MTec but has switched to planning for Andrews School. I broke my arm - it is closer to healing though, and I am back on track to enroll. I laid to rest thoughts of worry I had about Speech Recognition and now need to do the same with offshoring. Are there any trends which point in a positive direction for us mt's - any reason for them to think they would be p ...
Following is an older article but I feel it is worth circulating now. Most people have no idea who has access to their medical records. Though this article was written 6 years ago, it is an even more common practice today in 2009 for hospitals, clinics and other health care facilities to outsource their dictation/patient records to other countries - thereby not only making it impossible for transcriptionists in the United States to continue to make a living working in the US as a transcri ...
I work for a company that swears that they do not offshore, and never will. I actually trusted them on this. I guess I'm a true fool.
Anyway, I just found out that the account that I work on is shared by more than just the one MTSO, and at least one of those DOES offshore to India. Therefore, it doesn't really matter what my MTSO is doing, I am working on an account that is shared with India.
How did I discover this? Because I work on EditScript, and the ...
With workloads running low, wouldn't you think the companies would end offshore transcription and give the work to American MTs? The only thing that keeps me from bringing this up to HR is that I genuinely like the company I work for and I like both my accounts. There is just this one thorn in the side ...

This may have been asked and answered here before, but I am searching for transcription companies that absolutely, positively do not offshore any transcription work. Does anyone know of such a transcription company? I'm tired of helping MTSOs send my work overseas after a few months of working on an account. They first start asking for MT input on identifying which speakers need help to be better VR speakers, and then the next thing you know, they're sending ...
Interesting info I think. I found out recently that the coding team being built in India has pretty stringent requirements. First of all, they will need to have a bachelor's degree in a life science field and then must have a CCS AHIMA certification. Most of our US based coders don't have bachelor's degrees! Sounds like they are quite serious about being successful at invading into the US coding market. ...
