MOST of TransTech's accounts are obtained through Dictaphone/Nuance -- not by any TT mgmt people

In Reply to: What does - non
out seeking work for all the MT's that they have recently hired on. That is not a good thing when Dictaphone has control of how much work TT gets, when we can have some work from them, etc. They have other MTSO's who want work for their MT's, too, so Dictaphone/Nuance has to share with all MTSO's who have contracted with them to use their equipment; thus, doling out jobs as Dictaphone/Nuance sees fit for their good.

TransTech gets work from Dictaphone/Nuance; not the piece of equipment, but the co.
TT uses Dictaphone's WordClient and ExSpeech platforms.
Dictaphone (the company) contracts with MTSO's to use their equipment and they (Dictaphone/Nuance) *divide* out the work each MTSO gets. That is one of the reasons for OUR VERY LOW WORKLOAD anymore !!!! We would be better off if we worked for a company who is not Dictaphone/Nuance-dependent for work.
The very few accounts Transtech has -- mostly overflow accounts -- are Dictaphone/Nuance accounts. We TransTech MT's wait for Dictaphone/Nuance to throw a few jobs our way, which is NOT happening. All of TransTech MT's are making LESS than ever day-by-day, paycheck-by-paycheck. Heads up ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Nuance is the parent company of Dictaphone. Dictaphone makes ExText.
s
Nuance/Dictaphone
They partner with MTSOs who use their product. When a client signs on with Nuance, they are then matched up with an MTSO that uses Nuance's product.
Did Nuance by Dictaphone?
Can someone give me the website? TIA
I really wish Dictaphone-Nuance
We are out of work. Dictaphone keeps the work and sells it to India for a penny a line. They have a good wage over there and we are going hungry here and can't pay the bills. The alternative is for our MTSO's to stop relying so much on Dictaphone and finding another system. Beating a dead horse I know.
What is the Nuance/Dictaphone/Ex-Text
Does Nuance own Dictaphone? Is Ex-Text solely a Dictaphone platform? Is Nuance also an MTSO--do they hire MT's directly?
Nuance owns escription and Dictaphone
Are your referring to Dictaphone Extext? Which Nuance system?
Focus/Nuance - Dictaphone-offshore
Focus is the offshore subsidiary of now Nuance also known as Dictaphone - they have just formed an on-shore team thus all the new positions - temporary to be sure - they will take any account and then throw it offshore after a while
TT Mgmt says more is going to VR by Dictaphone and Escription
Trying every way to cut our pay. Less and less regular transcription. Of course, as mgmt says, this is the wave of the future. But how do we explain that 1/2 cut in pay to our mortgage companies and be able to put gas in our car to go anyway. Horrible thing happening in this MT field for the MT's.
They are located near Boston, bought out by Nuance (Dictaphone)
currently serving US clients with US labor only as an option. Which is why there is now a US QA team, and perhaps all US transcribing team. Great people, benefits, and job openings. I was the OP who wrote a while back offered a high hourly rate for QA and did a lot of research on them. They are now part of Nuance (Dictaphone) umbrella and I believe a good place to work for. However, I decided against going there for personal reasons, decided to remain with my present employer, but would not hesitate to join this place after doing much research. Also the training BTW is done by US trainer (at least for QA), all information given through US phone calls, AIM and website, written info. So forget the rumors, call or write and ask because I too was unsure, but as stated did a lot of research regarding their status.
Is it true Dictaphone is now owned by Nuance (an Indian company)? (sm)
that explains why the downhill slide.
I heard Focus was bought out by Dictaphone (Nuance) less than a year ago. So I think it would be a s
move. Nuance's website looks sturdy, and I know dictaphone is doing well, so how can a company with that kind of backing give you any kind of worry? I'd take it. Good luck whatever you decide.
Does Dictaphone obtain the accounts for the companies who use Dictaphone EXText?
I was just wondering if this is the same as it used to be. Dictaphone installs the equipment in facilities and then gets a MTSO to take the account. Therefore, the MT company never solicits for accounts, but Dictaphone notifes them when they have installed equipment in a hospital.
That seems all you have done . . . TransTech mgmt ????
So silly . . . .
With Nuance buying Focus, what will happen to the eScription accounts? sm
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.
Focus bought by Nuance/Dictaphone, DRC bought by Acusis. nm

Didn't realize you were actually MISSING a day of work b/o people working O/T. What did mgmt say?

Transtech uses Dictaphone
.
the 5cpl is for dictaphone accounts.
you get 4/8 for escription IC, 3/6 for employee. The insurance was going to be over $700 a month for me an my two children.
Dictaphone is paying her, not TransTech
She's on a new account that is starting two weeks later than planned; it's Dictaphone's fault. Transtech is NOT paying her. Dictaphone itself is paying her. TransTech is VERY fair.
TransTech uses Dictaphone Extext
Dictaphone controls Transtech workload, for the most part.
If you search, you will find plenty of recent info on Transtech.
Any TransTech unable to get into Dictaphone WordClient early this a.m.?????
Unable to work due to system being down. IDC3 down.
There seems to be one problem after another of recent -- either no work, low work or systems problems.
TransTech and Keystrokes also offer some Dictaphone ExText accts. Very easy to
s
I just recently obtained a client... sm
Last week I typed for our local cardiologist office. I started out by fixing up a flier with information such as pricing, resources available to me... I also made up a business card and included a copy of my resume'. I was offering p.r.n. service, which worked out well for the Christmas holidays. I figure this got my foot in the door. I just sent out about four, but I plan to send out more this upcoming year. All I needed to type for the cardiologist was a micro-cassette transcription machine.
Hope this helps! 
He obtained his medical record - sm
By having the hospital send them to him after he gave his permission in writing. He then handed them to me. I don't work for the hospital and did not obtain the records in a professional capacity. Good grief!
Sound legal advice obtained 2 years ago.
We wouldn't have moved forward without legal advice; crossing the T's and dotting the I's at this stage. Non-profit; office space, products, legal help all donated.
TransTech does and SOME of DTS in Tenn. accounts do. nm

Are all of TransTech's accounts out of work?
NM
When are the new Transtech accounts starting?
NM
Transtech has new accounts coming soon
/
Transtech will be hiring for new accounts soon

Does Transtech have ER or Radiology accounts? TIA (nm)
Just people with a few accounts, sm
and some subcontractors. Very small time. Most actual companies have their own platforms these days.
My STM said no new people were on any of our accounts, but regardless of (sm)
what account they are on it someone who was typing those lines will be moving to another account and when that account runs low the people on that account will move to another account, and so on and so on.
I like the company, the benefits and the fact they don't outsource. I will stick it out and hope for the best.
We had a lot of work the first of this week, I don't know what happened. Maybe some people are already searching out other jobs.
Right now I am glad it is summer time and when I do have to flex my schedule I consider it an opportunity to spend a little unexpected time out in my garden.
Have a pleasant evening everyone.

Sounds like TransTech and it's NOT how the majority of accounts are. nm

Does anyone know what Transtech pays for its Escription accounts?
I'd be willing to work weekends if the price was right. I've just seen too many Escription accounts pay too low, which to me, is 3 cpl and lower..One company actually offered 1.5 cpl. No thanks.
When I worked at TransTech, there was a doctor on one of the accounts sm
who stuttered. At first, I was really frustrated, but then I also saw it from his side, how frustrating it must be to know what you want to say and then face that challenge. I do not know about the physician you are referring to, but in the case I am referring to, I do not think the patient record suffered because of the doctor's stuttering. I just kind of grimaced when I got him. You would think that people like that, as well as the ESLs who are so challenged they can barely form a sentence, would hire a P.A./N.C. to do their dictating for them. Go figure.
Sorry you have that to deal with.
TransTech has 2 huge Editscript accounts
.
TransTech has 2 current Escription accounts
I wasn't saying that we do not have enough people on the accounts. I was saying that we do not r
out of work and it is always busy. Lee is the owner but the managers "run the show". She is sales not HR. She took over calls for a few days when Karen and Keystrokes parted ways. Becky is the one to talk to at the office. Lee is out of town on sales calls and client visits too much to handle that. You should call the office at 630-739-5520. Perhaps you misunderstood that you were hired? She hired a transcriptionist that I used to work with and she has been working for a month now, starting two days after she was hired.
Becky is wonderful and can help anyone who needs help. Did you ever leave a message with the office or did you call Lee at her direct line?
I am not involved in this end but am friends with a manager (worked with her for 5 years at a hospital) and know that HR is not Lee's strong point - it is a full time job and she already works 12 hour days.
Info on GIMT and TransTech oncology accounts
Anyone out there familiar with the oncology accounts for GIMT or TransTech are advertising for? Would like to know if there is enough work, platform they use, general pay range. How flexible are they on scheduling?
Thanks.
Medquist or TransTech? Comparable offers from both. Who has the better accounts
better platform, reliable pay days, etc.
Thanks!
Yep, exactly -- TransTech lost accounts and I truly believe is in financial trouble right now !
That small overflow account acquired has not paid yet, and the HUGE hospital they lost is no longer paying them.
I really think TT is in lots of trouble right now money-wise. Keeps changing payroll companies due to *floating* and not having the money for the payroll company, is my thoughts.
We had the best payroll company in the world -- but TT all of a sudden changed . . . and I mean ALL OF A SUDDEN, so much so that all our payroll information was WRONG, etc. Horrible time with this new payroll company, but it was a FAST decision made on TT's part. Probably had no choice except to change payroll companies.
TT is not stable as far as financial backup. Just imagine after losing a HUGE hospital account how much less money was coming in this week and prior. Those little overflow accounts just don't bring in a lot of monies. Dictaphone controls how much money TT gets -- due to Dictaphone owning the platform and dividing up the work between Dictaphone's customers !
times for TT now.
Great people, IC only, low pay, easy accounts, sm
direct deposit, paid weekly, always on time.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
KS people who work on accounts with lag time (sm)
I have been having the phone line go dead and sometimes I can call right back and get my report and sometimes I lose it. I have had my cable people out here several days in a row, and they can find nothing wrong. I was wondering if this happens to others - and maybe it is a problem with the hospital line we use - not actually the line in my home. I appreciate any input. (I am new on this account so do not have enough history to know.)
They keep losing accounts and letting people go. nm
nm
Hmm, guess they have openings for certain people on certain accounts...nm
xxx
Transtech same 2 or 3 people complaining ??????
Keep thinking that, but I don't think it is just 2 or 3.
TransTech has no work; that is why; lost accounts; overhired significantly BAD nm
Does TT care? No, they get their big paychecks no matter if the MT's do or not.
