I'm sure that not all the supervisors were as hyper as the one I had - she drove me crazy, wanting me to work practically 24/7. The last couple of months I was there, during a 63-day period, I only had 3 real days off where I didn't work at least a couple of hours which ended up turning into five or six. Add that to working 10-12 hours during my 8-hour work days, and I just plain got burnt out.

But that was only one particular client (if you would like the name, please email me). I am sure there were other clients that she could have given me, but she kept assuring me that this was the best client she had.

So I would just say make sure your lead is 1) looking out foryou and 2) telling you the truth (the third time I caught mine in a lie, I quit).

Good luck!

Focus and escription are not the same company.  Escription is a software/transcription platform.  Focus is a transcription company that gets accounts that are on the eScription platform.  Focus and eScription are two entirely different accounts.  I think that Focus is trying to say that they need MTs for accounts on the eScription platform.

Also, my experience with this company was not a good one at all.  Offshore people QA your work and their communication is greatly lacking.

I really don't think eScription is going to like the fact that Dictaphone/Nuance is going to be working on their platform and learning their secrets to their software.........do you?

This is so interesting to me as I am an eScription editor.  Maybe it is time I start my own business again and contact all of the eScription hospital accounts or contact eScription and get their input on this.

In reading Nuance's press release, Bringham Women's Hospital is an eScription account not a dictaphone account.   Very interesting......Don't you think?  Would love to hear opinions on this.

How are you with the straight jobs versus the speech recognition?  Are you doing both?  Is Escription much better than Extext?  Are you able to double your lines with Escription VR.  Thanks for sharing.

I'm only sharing my experiences in hopes that it will help others.  It is not in my character to sit back and be silent.  I thank mtstars for allowing us this forum to help each other.

I'm finally DONE with Focus Infomatics / Nuance.

I used to post a lot of positive information here about my job at Focus Infomatics/Nuance.  (Nuance bought Focus Infomatics in 2007).  It used to be a very nice company to work for, IMHO.  Anyway, the working conditions were on the decline over the past year, but started to go really sour a couple of months ago. 

A lot of people have complained about India being involved in the medical transcription industry, and I do understand the concerns about offshoring, but I would LOVE to have my Indian manager back.  The American lady that took his place is simply cruel.  I have no other word to describe her.  If I had waited for her to give me work, my family would be starving. 

I did stay for awhile, hoping that an adjustment period for new management would end in a positive way, but that just hasn't happened.  It is getting worse and worse.  I guess I can't blame the new HR director, as he had absolutely no experience in the medical transcription industry, or even the medical field, prior to working for Focus/Nuance.  According to his online resume, he was a Marine recruiter and then worked for Reebok, among others.  So, he likely is just following someone else's orders.

I've found another MT job, at a company that seems to care that an employee succeeds and has enough work on an account that matches his/her experience and preferences.  Though I am prepared for many surprises along the way and won't be too shocked or devastated if the bubble is burst soon into the game, it couldn't be any worse than it is now at Focus Infomatics. 

The main thing that I cannot forgive Focus for is hiring more people when I don't have enough work.  I have received excellent monthly reviews, so they cannot tell me that their silence is due to my inability to produce.  Maybe they want me to quit because I am a high producer; who knows.

At any rate, I must thank Focus Infomatics/Nuance for the learning experience.  When I write my book, I will certainly include these experiences in it.

Best to all of you who are current or future employees of Focus Infomatics/ Nuance.
