Powerscribe...help me please - sat


Posted: Sep 10, 2010

I am new to this & have never used it before.  Is it hard to use/easy to use?  Is editing reports hard/easy?  I heard that you get very fatigued because you really have to listen hard to what is being said or you will miss things if you know what I mean.  Not like when you transcribe and get used to the dictator and can think about other things.  Is it worth it? Or transcribing better $$??

Powerscribe - PS user

PS is very easy to use. However, it misses A LOT of words and doesn't seem to learn the dictators. It is also very slow to download and upload the reports to edit. You can make much more money doing traditional transcription if you are a fast typist.

Powerscribe Pay
Jul 02, 2010

I'm new to PS and am getting 0.65 per report (radiology).  I have searched the archives and cant really find much on pay for PS.  I guess I just want to know if my current company is pulling the wool over my eyes now that they have gone to PS.  Does anyone know the average per report rate for PS?  Or do you get paid per line?  Help! ...

PowerScribe Pay Out
Jan 15, 2015

I work on the PowerScribe team.  When the new patient incentive pay plan was instituted, it caused some of us to have an increase in pay.  When the company realized this, they cut our production counts in half for the work we do.  That is to say that previously, all reports were counted as 15 lines per report, but now have been halved to 7.5 lines.  This caused a 50% pay decrease across the board for the team and in many cases, lowers the hourly average to less than minimum wage depending on ...


Powerscribe Question
Sep 19, 2012

Does anyone know if there is a way to continue listening to a report while making changes on a report in PowerScribe?  I'm used to on VR being able to keep the report "moving" and listening while I'm making corrections, but it is not working in PowerScribe, just starts deleting everything.  Thanks for any advice!! ...


Does Anybody Use Powerscribe For Radiology?
Nov 20, 2013

I have an account that is getting ready to go to powerscribe 360 and am being told that they will still need the same number of transcriptionists.  Has anybody went from straight typing to powerscribe and not had any work?  I've heard that the doctors can edit their own work.  Just wondering if anyone has had this experience and how it went.  Thanks in advance.  ...


Account To Powerscribe
Mar 24, 2014

Big radiology account at TT is switching to Powerscribe.  Funny they just now are "finding out" about this, saying that this is the reason the work has been dwindling and many of the rads have already switched over.  If that is the case, that means Powerscribe has been installed for some time now.   Whatever.  ...


Powerscribe? Anyone Worked On This Program?
Jul 08, 2011

I posted on company board, but I should have posted here first.  Rapid Outsource Imaging is using Powerscribe VR. They're paying 6 cpl editing, but I'm very suspicious after all the bad comments I've heard about them paying high rates due to very cumbersome software.  I think Powerscribe is new to them; they have account going live in a couple of weeks, and I think it is interfacing with their software, where I believe therein may lie the problem and so my question ...

Powerscribe Line Count Report
Mar 06, 2011

I'm about to transitioned to Powerscribe and have been set up on my home computer.  I am an MTSO so I need to know how does PS calculate daily or per report line counts.  Is this an administrative report I need to be given access to by the administrator? Because looking at a screenshot of PS, it looks like the options for doing, frankly, anything are limited to copy/paste and spellcheck.  I realize it is not a word document, but how are line counts done?     ...
