What was the reason for the Transcend/Nuance merge or buyout?

I did not blame the company I worked for for selling out to Transcend as I figured they were told the same thing we were told, which was that nothing would change and their transcriptionists would be treated fairly. I think when things do change you can't blame your old company for that since they are probably surprised by it all just like you are. ...

Does anyone remember the date we officially switched from Transcend employees to Nuance? If anyone was an original MDI employee, do you remember the date Transcend purchased MDI? ...

Any comments from present or former employess or either Probity or Nuance? ...

I heard from a good source that Nuance and iMedX are currently involved in the details of a merge. Hang onto your hats MTs. I had a sense that something was very fishy with iMedX and their relationship with "former" Nuance suits. ...

Hi! I am currently job hunting and am curious what anyone can tell me about their experiences in working for Accentus has been like since they were bought out in 2012 by Nuance. I searched the archives and most of what I found about Accentus was from before the buyout, and may no longer be accurate information. Thanks in advance! ...

Seems to me that the "new and improved" North area was a ploy to dump us all back in the cesspool. In 8 hours, I had only one job from my primary (which is not off-shored). I just LOVE reading one CP after another! ...

I heard "heart regular rate and rhythm normal. S1/S2 to merge of scalps" Is that right? This is for the review of systems of a 3-month-old baby. ...

Anyone on here currently working for Uniworx? I'm curious as to your thoughts of the merger with Viva. I'm having a hard time with getting on the new email account they set up for me (sometimes I can get in, other times it tells me that my username doesn't exist). I thought maybe if anyone that peruses this site works for Uniworx maybe we could all share our thoughts together of the merger, yet still be anonymous and feel safe about it. MTs working at home don't have th ...

I'm trying to decide whether to apply at Transcend, Nuance or MQ. Any inputs from those MTs that work at these 3 companies? I would greatly appreciate your assistance as all 3 companies have contacted me and I'm very leery of Nuance because of the offshore connection. Does Transcend or MQ send our work offshore or are owned by offshore companies? Thanks for your honesty. ...

Having phone interviews tomorrow.....any input from knowledgeable MTs? I have not been in the job search for years, feel like a duck out of water....thank you for any input! ...

I have a lump in my throat today about the merger. I am wondering if there is anything positive that can come out of this. Do part time workers receive any benefits? Are there any typing accounts at Nuance or is it all VR? TIA ...

Well, well, well. Looks like some of the Transcend QA hagathas must be QAing Nuance's work now because they are marking off for every little thing! I get marked off because I forgot to add a dash. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I was QC myself but went back to being an MT due to the low pay per hour, and I just noticed this. They want to make sure no one will ever get that bonus it looks like! ...

Any thoughts on these 2 companies? Which one would you consider to be the lesser of 2 evils? TIA! ...

Transcend employees received notification this morning that Transcend is being bought out by Nuance. Transition expected to happen during the second half of Nuance's fiscal year 2012. Those of you with Nuance - is this a good thing? ...

just got a new computer, and realized the box says 64 bit -- I think i remember being told that is not compatible with the job stuff. Do you know???? what is that mean anyway, "bit"? ...

to actually make a living. Before Nuance bought Transcend I almost always had PLENTY of work. For the last month or so, work has been very, very, very scarce on a once very busy account. Had the offer to be transferred to a different region, but who knows how the work load would be in another region. I have a sinking feeling all the regions are pretty much the same. Besides, I really like my supervisor and pretty much like the accounts I'm on. Just not en ...

As a Transcender being taken over by Nuance, I am appalled that we have received no word about anything other than we will start with a time clock. No word about how we will be compensated, only "rumors" which I am sick of. Now I see Accentus is still hiring, advertising and advertising a "holiday bonus". Well, I want a holiday bonus. I am affraid they are not telling us "facts" just to keep everyone from quitting at on time. ...

Please excuse if this is a duplicate message. I would like to find out from the MTs out there what their thoughts, suggestions, etc., are about Nuane/Transcend Services. I have recently learned that the current hospital I am doing transcription for is going to be outsourcing to this company. I would appreciate thoughts, concerns...no venting please. ...

I have been with this company for a while now and completely loved Ax before this merger happened. I just wondered if anyone else was feeling really stressed out and out of sorts because of all of the changes taking place? So many things are up in the air. Too much stress. ...

Just to go ahead and make the change and hopefully avoid some of the stress with the transition? I see that Nuance has ads up for MTs. I'm also concerned about whether or not they will hire all MTs from Transcend during the buyout. ...

News found on Google: Nuance "extends" offer to Transcend, evidently it is not yet a done deal, here is a link: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fshar.es%2FrwD0G&h=pAQGzG3pfAQEOTCQ9kz0JWPU06iLpbFD9CLxvXyjRfb--cw ...

News is that Nuance waived their requirements so the merger is back on. Sorry to those from Transcend :(( ...

When Wmx was taken over M-modal was taken from us. Do you at Transcend still use it and are you having it taken away also? ...

I formally worked for Transcend Services and would advise people not to work for this organization. They are now switching over to Nuance, but stay away from them. They are extremely critical of everything you do. This is supposedly because they think they have such high standards, but they just enjoy being mean and critical to transcriptionists, who pay everyone's salaries. They terrorized the transcriptionists with their QA reviews, so much so that many transcripti ...
