Medical spellchecker and expander - jen
Posted: Jan 30, 2015
Can anyone tell me if the medical spellchecker programs and expanders in the transcription companies are good or would I be wise to invest in say Stedman's spellchecker and Shorthand 10? I am specifically thinking about applying to Inscribe.

I had a trial of Shorthand 10 with Career Step and thought it was really easy to use. I paid the $150 to upgrade to an unlimited license since I was used to it. If you're familiar with it, stick with it.

your own spellchecker like Stedmans (there are others though). Mine does. I don't know which companies furnish one or it is built into their platform. You'll find out when you apply and/or interview. As far as expanders, I use SpeedType.
