Nuance is Dictaphone and since a lot of use Dictaphone equipment, you can say we all have something to do with this. If you are surprised at the website above, look at the US website of nuance. Just IMHO and try to get both sides of the corporation.

Check out www.mtjobs.com. The website is updated daily. Some companies would gladly welcome someone part-time. Just go looking, you probably won't have any problem finding what you need in 20 hours a week, although some consider PT 25 hours a week. Good luck.
Check out their website
I just checked their website 5 mins. ago. When I did a search on the job board, I got a message that said no positions available at this time.
Check out this website.

A lot of the work goes here, returns from here, etc..


 


Also check to see if they have a website (NM)

Check out the IRS Website.
If you are an IC, they cannot tell you when you work. Just because they write it into a contract, it doesn't mean it is legal. Do some research on the subject. Many companies have been given very stiff penalties from the IRS for doing this.

If they need work done on a schedule, that is fine, but then they need to hire EMPLOYEES, not independent contractors.
Not according to their website, but they want people to check every now and then

I'll have to re=check their website
I could have sworn they said US owned/based with locations worldwide.
Check their website or call them. If you already have

cable internet adding digital phone service is no big deal.  You just use a different modem and they put a box on the outside of your house with her existing phone equipment and otherwise you plug your phone into the jack just like always.   They should offer the service and they usually have something where you plug in your phone number and it will say if service is available for you number.  You can then sign up on-line or call them.  They handle everything with the phone company if you decide to keep your same number.

Anyone with any experience with United Transcription? If you check out their website, SM
they're just the greatest MT company that there ever was.  Anybody with any real experience with them?
Check the website for Employee info/job openings. nm

It's not at the IRS website. It is in my state website.
It is clearly written that any employer out of state is bound by the laws of my state as far as taxes. Look at your state website.
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.

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!


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.


 


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.


Sorry, meant Focus Infomatics/Nuance
NM
"A subsidiary of Nuance" Why does Focus always post this? thx. nm

DOL CONTACTS TO REPORT FOCUS/NUANCE

Hello,


Whenever an employer requires you to work a certain schedule or attend a mandatory training, they are are absolutely required to pay you a minimum wage.  Period.


Long story short, I was in the same boat and contacted DOL a few months back.  With regards to Nuance/Focus, a company located near Boston, MA, here is the DOL office to contact regarding the issue of not getting paid properly:


US DEPT OF LABOR
WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION
JFK FEDERAL BUILDING
Room 525
Boston, MA  02203


Phone:  617-624-6715 or 617-624-6700


Persons to speak to:
Mr. Paul Sullivan (not sure of his title)


Mr. Robert Lang, ( I think his title is Assistant District Director).


 


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
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.


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.
Hmm .. the TTers are not complaining anymore and Focus/Nuance are advertising again. nm

Their website does not say that (nm)

Do they have a website or an ad somewhere?
I have decided I have had enough with the company-who-will-not-be-named. I admit I can't take it anymore, though I thought I would retire with them! I would love to work for a nice NJ company - Jerser girl that I am. I am looking for a nice company with work, so they sound like a match. Can anyone share how to get in contact with them? I'll be googling in the meantime, but would appreciate any other contact info!
Do they have a website? TIA

Good luck. I know how hard it can be to find a good company. I, again, absolutely LOVE DSG and all the supervisors! They also give positive feedback, which is another hard thing to find in a supervisor/company.

website- sm
It is www.dsg-inc.net.  Their website doesn't give a lot of information but here is what I know.  It is IC status, they have about 180 to 200 MTs.  Minimum for PT is 2500 lines a week, I can't remember what fulltime was but I think it was 5000 lines a week.  You don't have a set schedule, you can work when you want and like I said earlier about the weekends.  They use DocQScribe as their platform.  I've had people tell me that they have a hard time getting work with them but when I talked to the recruiter she said that they had one of their largest accounts that had started sending in more dictation and they were behind pretty bad.  She said that she expected the large amount of dictation to continue and not have a problem getting work.  I turned down the position and went with somebody else but they were my second choice of all the companies I had talked to.  They sounded like a good fit for me. 
Does anyone have website for MDI-MD?

I can't find it.
