Did you know you could use a voice command to delete a report that was mistakenly dictated?
If you find that you just dictated a report on the wrong patient or simply didn't mean to create a dictation on the given order, you can easily delete the report by using the voice command "discard report."
Click the play button on the following eTIPS video image for a brief demonstration on how to use the Discard Report voice command.

Did you know using the word "insert" as a chosen voice command to insert auto-text into a report may cause problems in other areas of the report?
PowerScribe 360 | Reporting allows for a radiologist to choose a trigger word that will be used as a voice command to insert auto-text. This feature is found in the Dictation area of the provider's user profile settings. The radiologist can choose from four options including, "Dictaphone, PowerScribe, Macro, or Auto-text," or type any other word he chooses.
Choosing the word "insert" as a voice command to insert Auto-Text is not a good choice in that it is already a system voice command that allows a radiologist to tell the system that he or she would like to "insert" new dictation after the next "word" spoken. The system acts on this command by relocating the cursor to the space following the "word" and the dictation that follows will be inserted into that location of the report.
For example: If you dictate the word "chest" in the findings section of a report and then dictate "insert chest" into the impression section in an attempt to insert an auto-text named chest, the system will think you are trying to insert new dictation after the word chest, which it finds in the findings section, as opposed to inserting the auto-text titled chest into the impression. At this point, the system will move the cursor to the location just after the word "chest" in the findings section and insert any new dictation into that location.

Did you know you could completely remove a word from your vocabulary list?
PowerScribe 360 | Reporting has a feature that allows radiologists to have greater control over words in their vocabulary list. From within the PowerScribe 360 | Reporting client, radiologists can access the vocabulary editor to remove any of the words listed. This is a powerful tool that could help improve recognition accuracy. For example:
- If a radiologist finds that he or she is dictating a word which the system always recognizes as the same incorrect word, and the incorrect word is never used by the radiologist, then removing the incorrect word from the vocabulary will solve this recognition error.
- If a radiologist mistakenly added a word from the spelling checker that is misspelled, he or she can use the vocabulary editor to remove this word from their vocabulary list.
Perform the following to access the Vocabulary Editor and remove a word.
- Launch the PowerScribe 360 | Reporting client application and log in with your credentials.
- On the Menu bar, click Speech > Vocabulary Editor. The Vocabulary Editor dialog box will appear, as follows.
- Type the word in the Written form box.
- Find the word in the list and click on it to highlight.
- Click the Delete button.
IMPORTANT: In some cases, removing a word may actually create a different issue. For Example: A Radiologist experienced an issue after removing the word "Para" which resulted into the system misrecognize words that begin with "para." After removing "para" and dictating, "paracentesis procedure was performed," the system would recognize the dictation as a "paragraph return" followed by the sentence, "The procedure was performed." This issue was resolved by adding the word "para" back into the vocabulary and altering the spoken form of the word "para" to "pair of."
