Same thing at Nuance as M*Modal? - Curious


Posted: Apr 04, 2013

I'm in shock about all the layoffs at M*Modal this morning!  I'm sure everyone else is too.  I'm scared/worried the same thing might happen to Nuance now.  I see job postings all the time for both companies.  It's crazy how they hire all these people and then layoff a bunch of people.  I'm curious to know how many people in total got laid off.  Does anyone else see this coming at Nuance? 

Nuance isn't above this kind of business practice at all. - IMO

to job hunt. As of now, I'm doing it before and after my shift, but I would LOVE an excuse to take some time off while I do it.

A total of 3. - nm

Just 3 people were laid off from M*Modal? I'm sure the company has thousdands of employees and from the post about M*Modal laying people off, I thought it was a bunch!!!

You can't really believe that, can you? There are more than 3 - SM

There are probably several more than 3 laid off. What would be the point of 3 people being laid off. There are only 3 who have posted on this board. A lot of people don't even know this board exists.

I should have been more specific. A total of - three

people that post on this site have been laid off.

Is Nuance And M-Modal Joint Services? Posting Here For Nuance AC, Got Email To Test For M-Modal.
May 01, 2012

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. ...

If you honestly do value your MTs, instead of falling all over yourselves with "thank you for all you do" and telling us how integral we are in the EHR field, the knowledge and accuracy we must possess, etc., ad nauseaum, please, at the very least, reinstate our WMX pay or, ideally, give us back our pay plus a cost of living stipend comparable to most other large and humane megacorporations. Could YOU support yourselves on our pay? Try our job for one pay period. Could you afford your rent/ ...


Another Thing That Ticks Me Off With Nuance....
May 24, 2012

I'm on Escription.  Now they've changed the header so it fills my screen.  I have to ALT-shift-E to get to the report.  If there is a doctor's name given and I don't know how to spell it, instead of being able to see the header info, I have to go back and write down the firicken name because yoiu cannot copy and paste in this crap.   Before, I could leave the header alone and I'd have about 3 inches at the bottom to start typing or editing.  ...


The Saddest Thing About Nuance
Apr 14, 2013

Nuance certainly has its shortcomings, but I think the saddest thing about this company is how they forced otherwise honest, decent people into being complicit in their deceit.  Before Nuance bought out my old company, I had the pleasure of working with some very good managers.  They were upfront, compassionate and understanding.  When the merger happened, however, they were put in a position of lying to us all.  I still recall the conference calls in which they claimed the ...

Nuance/M-modal
Aug 17, 2013

I wonder if M-modal is trying desperately to keep their heads above water so as not to be bought out by Nuance.  I just can't fathom all these layoffs.  I'm really truly sorry.  How heavy your hearts must be right now.   It's just incomprehensible that they would do this to all of you.   ...


Nuance Vs. M-Modal

I just accepted an offer from Nuance.  I know, I know.  I used to work for M-Modal when it was Medquist three years ago.  I loved the DocQScribe platform.  Has anyone gone from working for M-Modal to Nuance?  Was there any change in the way lines were counted?  How do you compare working on Nuance's platform versus that of M-Modal? ...

Mar 26, 2014

I've learned a lot from the M*Modal side, but now if you don't mind I would like to ask questions about Nuance. 1. Do they hire part-time, and if yes what might a schedule consist of? 2. What are the line requirements? 3. Weekend work required? 4. What shifts are offered, do they have 1st/2nd/3rd? And, just about anything that is on your mind. TIA! ...

I've reached the point where I'll work for almost any company, even M-Modal or Nuance, if it means I can get a steady paycheck.  My current company is going down the tubes fast.  I've hung in here as long as I possibly can, but I think it's an exercise in futility.  Does anyone at M-Modal or Nuance have any positive experiences, or is it really as bad as all the posts make it sound?  Surely there must be "something" good, or they wouldn't have so man ...

Is There A Market Reshuffling On The Horizon For The Medical Transcription Industry? Today I’m going to indulge in something I rarely do, much to the exasperation of my wife Carol. A goodly number of our conversations begin with her asking me, “What do you suppose…” and end with me saying, “I don’t have a clue.” I’m not sure if this reluctance to speculate is a guy thing or just a facet of my own particular personality, but for once I’m g ...

One More Thing!
Mar 11, 2010

Just one more thought.  I have never, ever, known anyone who has left Medquist or Spheris and regretted it.  They may bounce back and forth just to get by, but in the long run, when they are finally finished, they are finished.  For all of those MTs who don't want to start over, please don't take that attitude.  I did and it only got worse and when I did change it wasn't that bad at all.  Again, could it get any worse?  ...
