Had a free 30-day(?) trial. Also bought Instant Text after resisting for many years. Now I love it. Worth every penny.

Sylvan here too......

If they use Sylvan Gold, you can ..sm
www.sylvansoft.com - You can get a 30-day free trial and you can count your documents there to get your line counts. You will have to check with the MTSO to find out the counting parameters to set it up, like whether they count any formatting changes, headers/footers, etc., but it's real easy to set up and use. I've used it for years. I tried other line counting programs, but Sylvan always gave me higher count than others. It's user friendly, too, so I just stuck with it.
Once you download the free trial (find out which version they use before downloading), then when you get their subscriber info (assuming they are letting you use their subscription), you can just put in the authorization no. and all, and you should be good to go.
If you buy from Sylvan, I hope it works...
I paid $90 for a defective product with them and they would not send me a new one or give me my money back. I told them over the phone that I wouldn't do business with them again and their response was very arrogant, something about having other customers who would. It has been Stedman's ever since. If I have a problem with a CD from Stedman's, I get another one sent to me. No problem.
Stedman's and Sylvan are two good ones

I use Sylvan Gold for my invoices, it sm
pulls from my reports done in word and counts the lines and tacks my line rate onto it. You can customize it to fit your invoicing/tallying needs. You can check it out at Sylvans website. They also offer a free 90-day trial on their product.
I use Sylvan software's medical spell checker and ...am
also their Shortcut word expander. I love both of them. Unfortunately, the spellchecker does not work in DocQscribe, which I work in now. I wish I could get it to because I hate the DocQScribe spellchecker.
Curiously I was told by Sylvan Software this a.m. that IT WILL work with Chartscipt - sm
The only thing is I could not get them to specific it would work with Chartscript.net. They would only say Chartscript, claiming they were told by the developer it would work. I get very frustrated with these companies selling products they know nothing about.
spellcheck...
I can't end my document without running spellcheck. Yes, the incorrect spellings are underlined, but I don't always go back right then and correct them. But, when I end my document, spellcheck runs automatically. Even if it didn't, I'd run it just to be sure! Have a wonderful day!!!
Need help with spellcheck, please!
Does anyone know how to do this: When in Windows Explorer, when you select say five documents to open, to have them all spellchecked as they open? I have tried to find this information, but haven't been able to do so and have also tried to create a macro to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much and Happy Holidays!
I mean ALT S (not Alt-C) will be spellcheck hot key

That is what your spellcheck is for. (nm)

Try F7 (brings you to top of page), Ctrl F1

Why do you need your spellcheck so BADLY?
spellcheck...
This makes sense, thank you.
new job - no medical spellcheck
Hi all ... yesterday I started a new job - hospital MT, decent pay, great location. But guess what - the program is so old there is no medical spellcheck in it! And the old lady that works the other shift, who's had the job for light years, does not use the AutoCorrect feature of MSWord! The boss told me feel free to use it (thank God) - but can you imagine that????? Any advice ?
Thanks guys!
oh yes, I always spellcheck anyway, even if I have already corrected something. nm
.
Absolutely - a MUST to run spellcheck! nm

Maybe your spellcheck is outdated?
and theirs is not?
spellcheck in word
I am working on a VR system doing editing - however when I run the spellcheck anything that has been changed shows up with all of the incorrect letters wherever they happened to be along with the correct word or phrase that has been corrected. In other words if the word is not spelled correctly, I erase the word and type in the correct spelling, but in the spell check both show up. Does anyone know how to turn off this function or if there is a way to turn it off? It is driving me crazy - along with trying to learn to edit and the VR system. Other than that - all is fine with the program.
messes up spellcheck
Yes, it can. Been there. My spellcheck even on slow check was skipping everything.
They don't spellcheck? - not cool - sm
I briefly go over my work (try to proof as I type) before I send it in, but always spellcheck. If it is in Word it should come up with a big red underline so they should see they have it wrong. If they are so lazy that they cannot go back over their work 1 time, then yeah I would get rid of them. As suggested below, give them 30-days or whatever of probation and if they don't clean up their act (and work) then let them go.
if F-Lock key is on, then Alt C is spellcheck
nm
I had that keyboard and F7 was for spellcheck, but....
You can change your F10 for shorthand. I used to use the number pad because I didn't use it for numbers. You might try that. I think I just used the number 5.
Medical Spellcheck
Thank you, I did check there, and the strange thing is, the custom dictionary is there and I checked inside and it's the medical dictionary, but it's not working. I'm putting a call into the tech. I can't believe he didn't think to look there. Of course, I probably should have figured that out myself. LOL.
Spellcheck - meditech
It is shift F9
Spellcheck - Stedman's
We use Stedman's throughout our service and require it of all of our ICs as well.
Actually, spellcheck wouldn't catch it because
there, they're, and their are all correct spellings.
Here is a novel idea. Use your spellcheck software
begin with.
What is the best medical spellcheck software?
I am currently looking into medical spellcheck and medical dictionary. Does anybody have suggestions as to what is the best and most comprhensive?
Oh my, forgot to spellcheck, didn't I?!
silly me!!!!
MTStars spellcheck help - I just installed it and
do not see the "checkmark" button at the top with my other browser buttons. How do I access the spellcheck? It is installed and shows as a program on my list of programs. Help!!!!
spellcheck does not pick up preposition
There's PLENTY that spellcheck doesn't pick up - punctuation errors, possible omissions of prepositions and other words.....
So, if you strictly depend on Spellcheck - you're not ALL THERE!!! *lol*
I'd never leave anything 100 percent up to some machine or program/software/hardware, et al.
ExText - can it be set to not spellcheck demographics?
Every time I complete a report, spellchecker spellchecks the demographics section, which is not necessary. If you hit the wrong button, sometimes it will mess up the demographics on the report, although it doesn't tell you that you did anything wrong. Does anybody know if spellcheck can be set to only check the document and not the footer information?
Yes, because you do the jobs and they get sent off as soon as you spellcheck and the next one shows
s
type as said, and use spellcheck (sentence)
nm
Proof as I type and during spellcheck...sm
Throughout the day pick random reports to read completely just to check up on myself. My QA scores are always well above the required 98%. I could not get the line counts I do if I reread everything.
Does anyone know if you can use Stedman's Spellcheck with Bayscribe? nm
nm
If you run Spellcheck and have lots of shortcuts
that should cut down considerably on your need for proofing. Besides increasing your speed, shortcuts increase your accuracy, too, because the words are preprogrammed to be spelled correctly.
I don't work for one of the companies you describe but I have always proofed as I go and I don't go back and reread the report unless I am very tired, because I am particularly mistake-prone then.
Stop with the backspacing and let spellcheck

I had to work without a spellcheck for a few weeks once.. .
We couldn't get it loaded onto my computer and it was miserable. I looked up everything because I was so worried about spelling something wrong. If you are paid on production, I would tell them no thanks! Even if you have good reference books, it will take up a lot of time. I hope they can figure out a way to get a spellcheck on your computer! Good luck!
Can you install Stedman's Spellcheck on both
I have never used Stedman's Spellchecker before (just Dorland's) and am wondering if it is possible to buy it and install it on both MS Word and Word Perfect.
Thanks!!!!
Any1 know how to run the spellcheck command in WP 5.1?
TIA :-)
Expanderic needs to do spellcheck....lots of
xx
Thanks! Do you have a spellcheck that includes drug updates?
Spellcheck! I would NEVER turn in work without running it - sm
The benefit is it will catch things you don't. As for it underlining the words, just leave them and run the spell check, it is probably faster to do it that way (at least for me it is), and running it does not take more than 20 seconds generally unless you have a really long report. The few times I have had to re-do or paste in someone's report into mine for an addendum I have run into non-spellchecked reports, plain and simple they were not good.
Thanks. I'm sick that PRD may not work. Stedman's new spellcheck looks like it will
tell you I'M SICK OF COMPUTERS? Well, I'M SICK OF COMPUTERS!
New Keyboard-my Shorthand used the F10 key and keyboad is set to use F10 for spellcheck
Has anybody had to change their ShortHand Hot Key from the F10 key to another. I just got a Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 4000 and really like it. But my Shorthand used the F10 key to manage it and the keyboard is set up for F10 to spellcheck. Anybody out there change their Shorthand F10 key to another and how did you do it? Thanks.
Why is spellcheck acting up on me? Did I mess up the settings?
If you have any ideas why it is now checking headers/footers when it did not do that before, please advise. It is driving me crazy.
Spellcheck is shift F9 in Meditech. SH should work also. nm

I agree with old time MT -- best to fix it when you see it and not rely totally on spellcheck. sm
In my old QA days, I found too many errors that were obviously the cause of word Expander errors, things not caught by spellcheck, etc. I doubt that it really slows you down that much. I have been doing it that way for so long, it is just second nature and quick to go up and fix something real fast, than wait until the end and hope that spellcheck catches it.
Good luck! 
My Stedmans spellcheck disappeared with SP 2 for Office 2003!
An update from Microsoft of SP 2 for Office 2003, a reboot and now when I open Word my Stedmans spellcheck doesn't work. I tried to reload it and that doesn't work, either. Anyone else have this happen? I looked and it's in "Proof" for dictionaries as LEXB4SP, but it's not loading up and replacing the Word spellcheck. Now what do I do?
