ASR surely headed for lawsuit - Stop the Insanity


Posted: Jul 29, 2013

Just typed a "married lady, lives at home with her husband" (spoken clearly) and ASR turned it into "lesbian, living with her girlfriend."  A few days ago, ASR randomly threw in "French porn" out of nowhere.

I do not know where ASR comes up with these corrections - sm

I had doctor clearly state "she recently lost 150 pounds" ASR turned it into "she recently is the biggest whore in town".

Sounds likeASR has merged with Autocorrect - Littlefoot

At least the juvenile "humor" is similar.

Nuance Surely Pays Attorneys. I Wonder If They Know About
Feb 28, 2015

Lawsuits have resulted in huge awards for mental distress, wage theft, doctored records, age and disability discrimination, creating an atmosphere of permissive bad behavior by not holding supervisors accountable along with the HR people covering for them, false advertizing, not being truthful with major contracted facilities, not bothering to be truthful with employees, lack of transparency in pay structures...anybody else know of anything I'm leaving out? Oh, I get it, it would take a co ...

Looking at the jobs posted, and I have seen 3 positions in the last week paying 0.06 per line.  SIX CENTS!  And they are transcribing giigs too. What's next -- 0.05?  Then 0.04? Then 0.03? Then 0.02?  Then 0.01?  This trend is frightening! ...

Is it the same company that took away my paid holidays, reduced my pay twice, requires I work on holidays, does not approve requested PTO, yada yada yada?  Ya, I'll get right on that volunteering my extra weekend hours for you sweetheart.  As soon as you give me back th ...

Nuance And Lawsuit
May 20, 2012

If you don't wish to hear anything further about the lawsuit, please stop reading now. For those of you still here, it is my understanding that Nuance has used the same tactics as Transcend -- asking you to alter your time cards, reviewing your QA on your own time, "hands-only on the keyboard," etc. If this is the case, PLEASE contact the attorneys that are assisting the 'Grand 13.'  You have a case as well and do NOT let this opportunity pass by to make your statement loud ...

Why Isn't There A Lawsuit Against Nuance?

I was never this depressed when I worked for Transcend.  Now, with the hounding e-mail, do this, don't do that, rule change, etc.  Oh, and I better not forget about Webclock, Fiesa, etc.  They have it all planned out to cover their ass.  Now I feel like at least Transcend gave a damn once in a while, unlike Nuance.  Every weekly change I see benefits Nuance, not the employee.  Sorry, I just had to vent.  The last few weeks have been nothing but stressed ou ...

Transcend Lawsuit
May 28, 2014

Fighting Nuance would be just the same as the current Transcend Lawsuit. For those who are not involved, the latest news did not look good. They are trying to get it thrown out on the basis that because we are independent contractors kind of, the situations vary greatly and we should not be allowed to file as one unit. The attorneys for Transcend feel each MLS should file separately. Well, since we make slave wages, who the hell could ever afford an attorney? So, they have found every way p ...

If you post something that is not true they might be like the other company, able to figure out who you are by what is posted or some way. I am saying, I know this to hav ...
