Nuance owns escription and Dictaphone
Are your referring to Dictaphone Extext? Which Nuance system?
SPI owns OSI now?
?
I believe Medquist owns
DQS and leases it to other companies and hospitals.
MQ developed and owns DQS.
Mike, can you tell me who owns this company?
Just curious. I used to work for a lady who owned a company in Louisiana many years ago and she had a bad rep re: paying. Last I heard she moved to Arizona.
I don't think MedQuist owns Lanier.
We used Lanier at a small hospital in a very small town before I went to work for MedQuist.
Who owns or operates Diskriter?
I did know, but I forget. Anyone know?
Wonder if the same MTSO still owns that company.....nm
xx
Medscribe owns another company too
I think it may be Southscribe. Does anyone know? I cannot recall the name of the other transcription company they own, but it is definitely in Georgia.
Transcend owns MDI-FL but each is run separately...sm
Hope this helps!
Just guessing but it might be the woman who owns KS??
nm
MQ owns DQS software. They developed it
NM
MedQuist OWNS Diskriter and Lanier...nm
nm
What?!?!? You clearly have NO idea what you are talking about! The "man" who owns TT
does NOT own the building they are working in. He is NOT a real estate investor. He has worked in transcription for years and was with L&H prior to their acquisition by MQ (as was the rest of the office staff). TT absolutely does NOT finagle their line counts. If you know anything about TT, you know that the Dictaphone ExText platform has had trouble for the last couple of months and they have gone out of their way to keep us informed.
You obviously have some sort of personal ax to grind with TT. It is YOU who needs to stop spreading TT misinformation. You need to be very careful about what you post.
That's not true, my friend owns a payday business
and if you borrow $300.00 you pay $45.00 for that loan ending up paying back a total of $345.00. Maybe that was just a very unfortunate situation of your friend.
A friend of mine is a male and owns a transcription company. sm
He has no problem getting accounts and is quite wealthy from it. So, do not let your gender deter you!
His company is RX Transcription in Newtown Square, PA. Give him a call and maybe he can help you.
Full Circle Transcription in Acworth, GA. Does anyone know who owns this company? SM
Please email me if you do. I may like to contact them and would just like to know ahead of time whom I'll be emailing.

The Indian owner also owns a residential home in KY, that's where the KY part comes in. sm
The lead MT is in San Antonio, TX, but as the other poster said, the headquarters are in India and 99% of the people you deal with are in India, some city that begins with an A, can't remember. They are nice people, but they should be honest about it.
Phillips OWNS MedQuist, who bought Lanier Healthcare in 2002..nm
nm
To my knowledge, the owner still lives in India, simply owns a home here. sm
The work is received FROM the Indian office and sent TO the Indian office. They used to hire only American MTs, but then started outsourcing to a company in India (big surprise).
I understand what you are saying, though. And if they are honest about it, then it is the choice of the MT as to whether he/she wants to work there. The fact that they blatantly misled in their ad angered me, but then again, I have been an MT long enough, nothing should surprise me. I guess I have done my part, and I have no particular axe to grind so I should just leave this alone now. I just was shocked when I saw the ad.
Good luck to all of us in finding a job that treats us well and pays us even better (smile).
Nuance
I think Nuance owns Dictaphone now too. When I was looking for a C-phone manual it took me to their site. Maybe not so bad a deal, time will telleth.
Nuance
I work at a hospital that uses the Nuance Speech Recognition. We were told they bought out dictaphone. We are in the process of training on this program. There needs to be a lot of tweeking before this platform would be beneficial to any organization.
We have the whole package - Transnet, ExText and Speech recognition.
Did Nuance
dump them?
Nuance
Anyone working for this company? Any input would be appreciated....
Nuance
Nuance owns Escription.
Nuance
Does anyone know anything about Nuance Co. ? or how they compute their lines or editing rates, how it works out for you ?
Nuance
Has anyone heard of this platform? Any information would be great. Thx
Focus / Nuance
Here's the URL to a PDF press release from 3/15. Nuance not only owns Dictaphone, but is the company that created Dragon Naturally Speaking.
http://www.focusinfomatics.com/2007-03-15_Focus_Release_FINAL.pdf
Sold to Nuance, will probably be big changes, that usually
gets better, if at all. I worked for Focus Infomatics and was treated like a lower class citizen. The Indian men treat the women with extreme disrespect. I was yelled foul language over the phone and another lady that I know was sexually harassed. I know one of those guys got shipped back to Bangalore, but I think the one who was the worst is actually still working in the Focus office in the States.
Nuance DNS - Medical
Very friendly and productive BUT your speech has to be very articulate, no accents or slurring of words. Takes time to train but worth it.
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.
Isn't it Nuance they teamed up with?
nm
Nuance just recently
purchased Focus Infomatics. They also purchased Dictaphone a while back.
Did Nuance by Dictaphone?
Can someone give me the website? TIA
says who? Is that on the Nuance web site?
nm
Won't see that. They were bought out by Nuance. NM

"A subsidiary of Nuance"
I don't know why it bugs me so much. It seems so pretentious.
Focus (Nuance)
Does anyone have any info about this company?
I was sure I had read previously posts but I am unable to find.
Maybe I am just looking for the wrong word combination or on the wrong board? 
Any information appreciated!
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.
The platforms Nuance uses
are Dictaphone, eScription, and PowerScribe.
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?
I believe Nuance became a partner last year.
nm
Nuance is a partner with whom? Are they an MTSO?
nm
Nuance/Dicta/Focus
Yes,they all fall under Nuance. I had not had any coffee when I answered the question. Still could use more.
Focus Infomatics/Nuance
It is no longer a mystery to me as to why or where our worktypes (especially ER) are slowly disappearing from accounts at Focus Infomatics/Nuance. On their website, Nuance has stated that their goal is to totally automate transcription. I wonder if that goal includes the eradication of MTs?
Anyway, here's a peek into the future with Focus Infomatics/Nuance:

There's more information on page 2 as well.
Has anyone done VR using the Nuance system? I am wondering
xxxx
Public Records - Nuance
http://dockets.justia.com/search?q=Nuance+Communications%2C+Inc.
I ran across the above Federal Case Dockets while searching for something else entirely. Anyone know why Nuance Corp. is involved in so many and what they are about? One of the complaints is racketering. What is going on?
IC versus Employee - Nuance
Does Nuance only have employees? If they only have employees, I wonder why? Wouldn't they save money with IC's? What is the advantage to Nuance with having employees? Just asking why..
Focus Infomatics/Nuance
I would avoid this company completely. After much emailing back and forth with Janeen Neale, who led me to believe there was an account for me, I was advised yesterday that there was a hiring freeze for my intended account. No mention of this was ever made to me before. Also, she advised me that Vista and Word 2007 would work just fine -- then in yesterday's email telling me about the hiring freeze, she also added that the account didn't work with Vista/Word 2007 -- only XP/Word 2003. To add insult to injury, she even got my name wrong!!!, lol. Avoid this company.
Anyone worked on Nuance Dragon MT ASP software
Is it transcription friendly and productive.
Thanks
