If you've ever finished a testing session, sat down at your desk with a stack of score printouts, and spent the next 20 minutes manually entering T-scores and standard scores into your documentation software, this one's for you.
We just shipped a feature we've been building toward since day one: Smart Score Import.
Smart Score Import lets you upload your PDF score reports directly to any assessment in PsychReport. Our AI reads the document, identifies the relevant scores, and pre-fills your scoring form automatically.
That means no more transcribing. No more cross-referencing printouts. No more "did I enter that standard score or the scaled score?" moments at 10pm.
The workflow is simple:
Upload → Extract → Review → Generate
Your clinical judgment. That's the part that matters, and it was never ours to automate.
Every extracted score surfaces for your review before it touches your report. If something looks off, you edit it. Manual entry remains available for every field. You stay in control of what goes into the narrative. We just eliminated the part where you copy numbers from one screen to another.
This is also fully HIPAA-compliant. Scores are processed through our standard de-identification pipeline before AI handling, consistent with our Business Associate Agreement. If you want to understand exactly how we handle your data, our security and compliance page covers it in full.
Rebecca (my co-founder and the clinician behind PsychReport's clinical framework) has spent 25+ years writing assessment reports. She knows exactly how much cognitive overhead goes into the transcription step. It's not hard work. It's just tedious work that sits between you and the actual clinical thinking.
Smart Score Import is our way of clearing that path. It's part of a broader philosophy behind PsychReport: every step that doesn't require your clinical expertise is a step we should handle for you.
If you want to understand how that philosophy shapes the whole platform, our piece on best practices for AI-assisted report writing gets into the details.
Smart Score Import works with the full range of assessments supported by PsychReport. Whether you're running a cognitive battery, a behavioral evaluation, or a social-emotional assessment, the goal is the same: your scored data flows into your report without the manual middle step.
Once scores are confirmed, PsychReport's AI generates a complete narrative draft that reflects your clinical voice, not a generic template. You can read more about how the generation side works in our overview of what the future of psychological assessment looks like.
Smart Score Import is live now and works across our supported assessments, with coverage expanding continuously based on user feedback.
If you want a specific assessment prioritized, reply to any email from us or use the contact form. We read every message, and we move fast.
The practitioners testing Smart Score Import early used one word more than any other to describe it: relief. Not excitement, not amazement. Relief. The kind that comes when something that was quietly costing you time and attention every single day just stops.
That reaction is exactly what we built it for. If you're spending your clinical hours on documentation logistics, see how other practices have reclaimed that time.
Log in to your PsychReport account, open any assessment, and look for the Upload Score Results button.
