Per the newest BOS and Stedman's . . .

In Reply to: According to my electronic Stedman's. - Baker cyst....
latest editions, the apostrophe s is now dropped from all eponyms. There will still be some (many or even most) facilities that prefer the 's. However, the "official" guideline is to drop it. I think it sounds terribly incorrect, but I suppose over time it will be more widely accepted.

The newest Stedman's is compatible.

Stedman's Med Dictionary and Stedman's Med Spell checker are two different programs. Which on
do you have? If it is the medical dictionary, as far as I know it is only a reference software and can't be used as a spell checker.
If you have the spell checker, go into Word. Click on Tools, Options, and then Spelling & Grammar tab. Then click on the Custom Dictionaries button about half way down the window. This will open a new window that lists your available dictionaries and one should be checked. Mine is checked next CUSTOM.DIC (DEFAULT). There is an ADD button to the right. If you click it, you will be able to browse for your custom dictionary.
Hope that helps.
OK, thanks. No I don't have the newest...
no msg.
JD is the newest member
of INXS. I liked both Mary and JD and especially loved their original songs "Pretty Vegas" and "Trees". I especially loved Marty and plan to download all his tunes he performed on INXS.
Only the newest version 10.

I have the newest version
I have only used Stedman's. What are some differences in Dorland's and Stedman's?

i do believe the barbato memo is the newest

Maybe downloading the newest version will help.
?
Newest version 4.17 will play .dss.
Interesting - what is date on that? and does this newest memo from
I wonder?
Just downloaded the newest version, 4.17, and it works with .dss.
I'm glad that the NCH people fixed this. Three cheers for them!
The newest version is VERY user friendly. The one right before
it stunk. Make sure you're getting to work on one that has the very newest version that came out this fall.
Yep, the newest "fix" for the last few years of PMS and perimenopausal symptoms is
Serafem, which is just Prozac. The drug company "reinvented" a use for Prozac when they needed a new use! So, its called Serafem. You're supposed to take it a few days before your period, or sometimes all month - just depends. Pretty flowery packaging! I went thru the same thing at about 43 to 44 - only symptoms as well, and never had 1 day of PMS prior to that. It just stopped as suddenly as it had started. Just me - we're all different. I tried the Serafem and it didn't help at all - just made me feel like a zombie 30 days of the month! Good luck to you! Just had my LMP 2 days ago - only lasts for about 1/2 day now! Yeah!! I, for one, will not be missing THAT each month. No way!! Also remember if you have female teens at home, those hormones are floating all over in the air! Its HORRIBLE! I have 2 daughters and we all get it the same time now, etc. Oh, yes, and my face breaks out now as it did when I was a teen when I had my period. Never had that my entire life til now. Just today we were all cracking up - all 3 of us had 1 huge zit on our noses!! Nowhere else, and all 3 had the same one on our nose! We are really fair skinned and blonde, and look RIDICULOUS!! Oh well!
It must be a dss file. the newest version will not work with dss files sm
even when you install their codec for it. try uninstalling and install ES from this link their tech guy gave me for version 4.15.

I just went to the website and clicked on the link to download the newest version and it worked.
www.pcshorthand.com is the website. You can download a free trial of the software, but eventually you will have to buy a license. You can also pay a little extra and have them ship the actual software to you with an instruction manual.
I absolutely love GearPlayer 4, the newest version. It plays all files
and combine that with a good stereo headset, you'll be all set to go. I am able to hear so well all sorts of dictators. I cannot, and will not, work with Express Scribe, and I have found no other player as superior as GearPlayer. They have a free download you can trial it for 5 days and see if works in your platform/voice files, found at transcriptiongear.com
Stedman's is the best IMO. I don't know if they
limit your installations or not. I know on the new electronic word books they limit you to 2 installations and that it doesn't work if you copy it from one computer to another, it has to be installed from the original.
I should add, if you have Stedman's
If you have an updated Stedman's spellcheck, it will flag the drug if you type it incorrectly and the top suggestion is usually the correct way of typing out the drug name.
stedman's
They do offer you a 30 day trial. After that, it is $38.95/year. Which isn't bad, but I don't want to pay for the service if they don't change the reports. Definitely check it out!
Stedman's
I love anything Stedman's myself. I have Smartype and love it after about a year. I figure it's cut my Keystrokes by 1/3 to 1/2. It wasn't compatible with Word 2003, when I bought it, but that didn't matter to me since my company requires 2001.
Stedman's
Thanks to you both. I searched program files and there is a Stedman's folder that came up, nothing really in it except for maybe what looks like an uninstall file? In Word, custom dictionary is checked but I don't see anything about Stedman's anywhere in there. Anyway, I tried typing a little and it looks like it's picking up drug names etc. so guess it's working. I just thought I'd be able to pull up the program from my Start menu for some reason. I guess it just kind of stays hidden in the Word background somehow? Anyway, thanks for the help. I know it sounds really dense, but haven't had to use it before for work!
Stedman's
Here's some ortho reports http://www.mt-stuff.com/orthopedics.html
Stedman's Ortho & Rehab words is a great reference and includes sample ortho reports in the appendix http://www.stedmans.com/product.cfm/477/79
Well, I use Stedman's (sm)
Endocrinology book and Opthalmology book. Relatively small books, compared to the Neuro book, for example, but they are very helpful. Think I bought them used through an Amazon.com bookseller. Make sure you get the latest versions.
Hope this helps.
Is it Stedman's? nm

Stedman's.
Does anyone know how to get Stedman's
spellchecker to work in WordPerfect too. Thanks for any help.
Stedman's has it set-up where you have
to have the disk. You can't copy from one computer to the next, it must be installed. You can buy it for $99 I think and download it from Stedman's site . They don't like people reselling the disks either, so you can only get 2 installs before the disk won't work, though sometimes you can call them and they may give you another download.
Stedman's
I have Stedman's Spellchecker Plus '08 on my Word 2007. I got it from Barnes and Noble for $71, but that was with my member discount and a 20% off coupon. If you have any coupons for them, I would use them for this purpose. Their member discounts are good too.
Hope this helps you.

When you go into your Stedman's tool bar, you'll see options for modifying a Smartword spelling, Modifying a position, etc. I've moved some words that were programmed to come up 8 or 9 in the selection bar to be either the one that comes up on the Smart Line or #1 or #2 in the selection list. The instructions are fairly easy.
For instance "undergoing" was way down at the bottom of the list, so I moved that one up closer to the top. I made "complains" the first option rather than "complain" since I use that word more. That way all I have to do is hit the space bar and keep going,
Does any of that makes sense? My sleep pattern is all messed up, so I"m not sure if I'm entirely coherent right now.
Yes, Stedman's it is, also for me!...
The electronic version!
Also Stedman's Abbreviations and Acronyms...
If you're looking for Stedman's books - sm
Check out the equiptment forum - I have a set of 21, practically brand new books for sale.
Stedman's 4th edition is even better...
than the 3rd. It's true there may not be every single radiology term in Stedman's, but I don't know of ANY reference, text or electronic, that has every know term. For any book on ANY specialty to have every conceivable term is impossible - unless we want books 10 feet thick.
I know you cant use stedman's program
I use Shorthand as it works with just about everything.
Disappointed with Stedman's
If you mean the big purple "Medical Terms and Phrases" by Stedman's, I'd go with the other one.
I bought this and am rather disappointed with it and have not found it to be helpful on the job.
Stedman's @Work
Has anyone suscribed to this? I noticed they have an abundant amount of sample reports, but I am only considering suscribing if they add new reports on a regular basis. If anyone has info on this, I would love to hear it!
Stedman download sm
It is very simple and they remind you each day you have X days left, 10 in all. They don't list a price but I am told it is $179, don't know. Works very well but they should post their prices.
I use Stedman's as well as the Internet. nm

I do ops primarily and can't do without my Stedman's sm
Med/Surg Equipment Words. Sometimes, though rarely, I'll need to refer to my Surgery Words book for body parts. (I have 30+ years' experience.)
Stedman's Spellchecker
I know this is probably a silly question, but..I loaded Stedman's Spellchecker on my computer awhile back but have never used it. Today I was looking for it on my computer and can't find it. Should it come up under program files on your computer? or does it just combine with spellchecker in Word somehow and not show up on its own as a program? I thought maybe someone here who uses it could point me in the right direction. Is there some way you can make adjustments to it or is just part of Word after you load it? Thanks much for any help!!
Do a search for Stedman's (sm)
there should be a stedman's folder and your spellcheck should be in there. Hope this helps.
Don't know of website, but Stedman's
GI/GU word book may be helpful. Endo notes are very easy. You could probably Google and find something.
stedman's editions
is it worth buying the latest 2004 stedman edition vs. a 2002 edition. I debating on getting one for the GI and GU book. Wondering if a nephrology transcription can let me know if there's such a difference among the two. Thanks
stedman edition
u dont know how much i appreciated this bit of orientation. I just started my first oficial transcription job at a nephrologist office. I'm so proud of myself after trying in within two years to KICK my foot in the door. This week has been tough but I'm learning and quickly catching on. I just cant wait till I can effortlessly fly through my reports. Thanks for the advise. I will purchase my book through ebay tonight.
thank you again,
rookie
Does anyone use Stedman's Smartype?

Stedman's spellchecker
How often do you update your spellchecker? I bought a Stedman's spellchecker almost a year ago (2006 version) and I received in the mail information about updating to 2007. I am not sure if I should update yet or not. TIA
Stedman's rock!
There are different specialties, but the Medical Speller put out by Stedman's is definitely a must-have. 
Stedman's & Vista
Does anyone know any tricks to get Stedman's OB-GYN Electronic Word Book to load onto Windows Vista?
This is the only Stedman's book that I cannot get to load on Vista. I contacted Stedman Support, but they said that it just isn't compatible. I find that hard to believe, as all of my other 21 electronic word books from Stedman's loaded just fine.
Any know of any tricks to get it to load?
Advice...Stedman's
I've read about the great deals you can get on spellcheckers and dictionaries on Ebay. Before I bid I want to be sure that if I purchase a used CD can the registration card/# can be used again. I ran into problems with this with another computer program. 
I think Stedman's is the best and most widely
used by far. I can't imagine trying to transcribe w/o a spellchecker and most companies require you to have one.
Stedman's is $99 unless you get the premium version, where you get 3 updates a year, and I think it is about $170. You can download Stedman's from their website.
I think the Stedman's works with everything. The new one for
