Posted: Jul 08, 2011

Just got hired for an account to go live in a couple weeks using Powerscribe. Anybody familiar with this software and/or work for them now on this program? TIA!!

I used Powerscribe and it is easy - but a drawback

It is a nice platform, I have used an older version and the newer one, I like the older version better. The only problem once the docs get used to it they self correct and you will see your numbers go down.

Not sure what you mean? sm - Hiya07

I've done editing before, not too much tho, so not exactly sure what you mean by "docs getting used to it" and self-correcting. I was told they are not sure at what accuracy percentage a doc will be allowed to dictate but said the docs have been on this system for a long time so are not newbies on the system. So if docs are getting good at it, then we only edit what is not translated at the end of the day, right?

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! ...

I have a Powerscribe account has just updated from 4.7 to 5.0. We are like 550 reports in the hole since this upgrade which took place on Saturday. Reports take FOREVER to download. Any input would be appreciated. ...

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 $$?? ...

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 ...

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!! ...

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. ...

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. ...

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 ...

I just started about 3 weeks ago part time doing radiology in Powerscribe at 0.045 cents a line. Is there any way to make money at this? I'm used to making around $20 an hour, and I'm making about $4 an hour now, wondering if it gets better or if it is worth my time. Thanks for any input!! ...

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? ...
