Working for Nuance Transcription - Henry

Posted: Mar 25, 2015

Whoever is even thinking of trying to work for Nuance Transcription, should think again! They are always running out of work and pay sucks big time! They have a new pay system where you are docked for almost everything! You have to meet 99% quality, which is no problem, as you should be meeting that anyway, but then they check your reports, always short ones and if they find an error, especially a major one, that docks your score way down, which in turn docks you pay, plus they then take your edited lines and divide them in half, add your typed lines, which aren't many and then compare the 3 variables against this grid they have and that is how you are paid, a lot of times only 7 cents a line for busting you butt all week basically for nothing!

Thanks for the warning.... - Grateful_BostonMT

Just received a call from the "recruiter" at Nuance and states they are hiring. I knew there was something fishy going on when she described the Nuance experience as a great company to work with. But of course I know better, since I worked there for a brief period of time about 5-6 years ago. Somehow I thought possibly things may have changed since that time. But apparently not.

They don't care about anybody. They are a bunch of money hungry sh__theads. I just got hired at a grocery store to make more than I was making at this sweatshop. Funny thing is I don't have to do a certain amount of stuff to get paid, I just have to be there and do what I am supposed to do, but nobody is going to count my stuff. I don't have to know how to spell astronomical words like salpingo-oophorectomy, or amenorrhea, or glioblastoma. I don't have to know how to use a computer program, or how to type or medical terminology, which we all know and they don't give a crap. Our knowledge is nothing to them and they don't want to pay us for it, just skim off of us as much as they can. I am starting the new job at 9.50 an hour and will get paid time and a half for extra work over 40. You won't get paid for your knowledge here.

That's putting it mildly. Where else can one work and not know what you will get paid until you get your paycheck? That is such BS. Some of the mistakes they find seem like they create them. There is no way to go back and see the report you turned in before they QA'd it and "found" these major errors they "claim" you make. They are wage thief's. RUN, RUN, RUN!!!! This company will use you up and kick you to the curb without batting an eye! Litterally stealing money out of our pockets greedy bast***ds!

I have been out of transcription for roughly 2-1/2 years but need to get back to work. I am going back to school to get some add'l training this fall but in the meantime need a job. They are recruiting right now and wondered if someone could tell me something about being an at-home transcriptionist for them?? Any info would be greatly appreciated; thanks!!!! ...

So I hear a lot about how there is no work at Nuance now because they are over hiring and that they are a "nightmare" to work for. Is there anyone working there now that likes it and isn't having any problems? ...

Is there anything positive about working for Nuance? What's it like working on the eScription and Dictaphone ExText platforms? What are your average line counts on those platforms? I can average 400+ lph working on a clinic account, but I get to use lots of word expanders and templates, it's all straight typing as well. I read somewhere they just made cuts in pay, was that across the board and how much of a cut was it? I read that they start out at 4 ...

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! ...

Since they constantly bounce us back and forth, forcing us to choose between production and quality, which have you chosen? Or aren't you there yet? I have chosen quality. At least for the moment. I think I'm getting just as whacko as they are. Signed, Present MUP Collector ...

Just wondering. Nuance bought out my old company a while back, and I have always worked Monday through Friday. Now all of a sudden they say we HAVE to work either Saturday or Sunday EVERY WEEK. My question is, if I had said no to the weekend as I was hired Monday-Friday, could they have fired me? ...

I truly just hate ever day that I have to work for them. The days are sooooo long and seem never-ending. Fifteen years of 99%+ accuracy and now I need a mentor? Really? WTH? Switch me to a new, more difficult account and after 1 week tell me I suck so bad I have to be mentored? Provide me with no list of physician names or local cities or names of local hospitals and expect my LPH to be up and running at full speed when I spend all my time Googling for info on an ar ...

25 years ago, I had an hourly wage of $11.50 (before I got into transcription), while the minimum wage was $3.35. So I was making 3x minimum wage. Fast forward to Nuance today, my salary is $7.25, minimum wage. (BTW, this is my very first minimum wage job of my entire lifetime, back to when I worked as a teenager in the 1970s). Plus, the medical benefits are awful, and 25 years ago they were good, along with entirely paid by employer. And, Nuance feels the need to employ an a ...

So you need help on this account so far out of TAT you're in danger of losing it. Sounds like people are deserting. Maybe if they lose a few accounts they'll get the message. One can only hope. I feel sorry for the managers. It must be pretty tough sitting between the leeches and those whom they suck the blood out of. How do they do it? ...

If you doubt me, see the "Urban Dictionary" definition.

Trying to get and keep a decently paying job just seems l ...

This is beyond insane. Why hire all these new people and pay for training and benefits only to have EVERYONE run out of work? It makes no business sense whatsoever. The person making these decisions must have received their MBA from a Cracker Jack's box. It's bad enough that we're being paid peanuts (pun intended), but to run out of work, too? Come on, people. Develop some sense and sensitivity. Thank you. ...
