That's how much going back to books-only word research would slow me down. I have a huge, up-to-date library of Stedman's books here, and I pick one of them up maybe once a week, often less. Using a search engine like Google as sort of a "Soundex" to find words that are too garbled to know where to look them up in a book, saves me time, and saves me from having to leave a blank that'd I'd otherwise have to leave if I couldn't look for it online. The drug indexes are better, too. And I don't even know where I put my Dorland's Medical dictionary. Haven't seen it since the middle of winter. I think if the company is going to require the PC that's connected to their transcription platform to be internet-disabled, then they should supply their own computer free of charge, and should pay the extra electricity it would take to run both simultaneously all day long. |
