Has anyone added Stedman's to the DQS or
nm
Stedman is part of that..
Same girl who screwed people around here with lies is part of that company, not to mention a really lousy QA person who was a teacher's pet from a low-line online school. Better check it out.
It has a dictionary, just not Stedman's. You will need to add some entries as you go along, but
overall, it catches the incorrect spelling of words, it just doesn't give a lot of suggestions to correct spellings. That slows me down a bit as I rely on my Stedman's and have for many many years.
Bayscribe and Stedman's spellchecker
Does anyone know if you can use the Stedman's spellchecker with Bayscribe?
Stedman's and Dorland's are great, but
if the BOS says do it one way and it differs from them, and the client and/or MTSO uses BOS, you can't use what they say.
Yes, it comes with Stedman's built in. You'll love the platform, it's
the easiest I have worked with.
Dorland's makes a spellchecker? Thought just Stedman's

I use Stedman's Orthopedic and Rehab Words book..
and Google is also a good research tool :)
Been on it since May 2004
Still struggling. I have never gained back to what I was typing before.
Others have though, so it can be done.
Good luck.
Info from 2004, sm
I did a search, only info found was from 2004. Could you list the possible 3 companies that does this?
I worked for them 2004 and here is sm
I was hired to MT. I had little training on the platform they used. I worked as an MT for about a week and they asked me to be a QA at $14 an hour, to also be on-call at least 1 weekend a month for stats (that is 24/7) and to take overnight calls like 1 night a week. I did that.
I had to make an out of state move. I was told to take all the time you need. I thought it would take about 5 days to get back to work and I told the MT manager that. After 2 days, she starts calling all hours of the night and day, on my cellphone, and harasses me about when I will be back. I said 5 days and I need 5 days, which was rushing it anyway.
Guess what? She told my MTs (I also lead a team) that she had fired me, but neglected to tell me. She called each and every one of them asking if I had been hateful. I am never hateful!!!! Especially with my MTs! They deserved my respect and they got it. In the end, they still owe me nearly $600 and have refused to pay me.
Now, couple that with the fact that they had a HUGE teaching hospital in Alabama. About 2 or 3 weeks after she fired me, they lost that account. Furthermore, they would hire ANYONE who had every touched a keyboard. I had to QA that mess and it was an ENORMOUS mess. A cute angina. A cute appendix. A femaloral artery. A cesar's ansection. A right hammered toe. And on and on and on. I was not allowed to complain about the lack of capable MTs, nor ask for anyone to be fired or even to give individual feedback.
I lucked out really. I landed on my feet 3 months later and it has been MUCH better since then. I heard from a gal at that big MT head hunter employment agency (you know who) that she had once had her own company and my SG MT manager was the ONLY MT she had ever had to fire for lack of knowledge and quality, and subsequent insubordination when confronted with errors she refused to correct in subsequent work.
WHAT A MESS. What you all say fits right in with what I know of them.
Sorry. It has to be me. I did exactly what you said and all it has is 2004 and 2005.
Thanks anyway. Maybe someone will still enlighten me, but obviously it is not looking too positive so I probably won't waste my time with them.
Sorry..that's supposed to be "from 2004"

Spheris took over Healthscribe in 2004.
nm
That is what they paid me in 2004 1st shift BUT
Times have changed. I'd do it. I get $16 anytime I QA for a small regional company. I take it. I make double that MTing, which is 90% of my job.
I lost an ER MT job to EMR in late 2004.
Loved that account!
Any new info out there on Medware. I archived and everything is from 2004. nm
Thank you!
JLG - searched archives and only found 2004. I
could swear I have seen recent posts on JLG, but am afraid they must have been deleted. Any current info at all? Anything would be appreciated. Don't want to go from that BIG OLD FRYING PAN into the fire, if you know what I mean! 
When I searched, the only replies were dated 2004
NM
Precyse info. Only found 2004..
 2005 on Search. Any latest info on pay, platform, benefits, etc.? Sounds like they offer a lot. Good/bad appreciated as always. THANKS!
Net search shows they had a job ad here in Dec. 2004. Their website is www.pdajc.com. Good

Wall Street Journal article, October 2004
A friend sent this to me. UCSF heard from an overseas MT who had not been paid that if she did not receive the $$ owed her she would publish the reports on the internet. There was a lot of followup to this which I will not go into here, but why wouldn't this sort of thing still be possible.
Later that year there was a report of a group of MTs in Bangladesh who tried to force a change in their local management by threatening to make transcribed documents public.
After that California was supposedly looking at a bill to disallow sending confidential medical reports overseas as they are not bound by HIPPA. Never heard what came of that.
I still tell these stories to anyone considering sending work abroad. I just wish some of them overseas would be stupid enough to actually pull a few stunts like that and then see how much work we lose.
People seem to forget it was Pres. Bush pushed EMR in 2004. sm
Try googling 2 words: EMR Bush.
Found this article. Hope links are allowed.
