Stedmans Introduces New Smartype Software for Accurate Speedtyping

Baltimore MD (PRWEB) August, 2003 -– Lippincott Williams & Williams recently announced the release of Stedmans Smartype®, the latest software to join the Stedmans brand of medical resources. Stedmans Smartype brings accuracy and speed together in a single integrated tool for medical transcription.

After joining forces with Smartype, the transcription industrys leading speedtyping software, Stedmans re-worked and enhanced the product with its own extensive medical terminology to offer a built-in vocabulary of more than 80,000 words, compared to 36,000 for the former product.

Conventional abbreviation expanders can only save about 25-30% of keystrokes," notes Joe Weber, CEO of Narratek, the Smartype company. Stedmans Smartype can save medical transcriptionists approximately 70% of their keystrokes with our patented word-completion technology...but speed is only part of the equation. Accuracy is also critical. Smartype automatically spells, capitalizes, and hyphenates correctly. We are now thrilled at being able to accomplish this on a vocabulary that has been enhanced and quality-assured by Stedmans, the leading company in medical terminology."

Stedmans Smartype, which works with Word 2000 or Word XP, is the only speedtyping software that incorporates the SmartLine, a dynamic display that shows what will be entered if the spacebar is pressed. The SmartLine displays the text just below the typing cursor, enabling users to keep their focus on the document rather than searching for a window at the bottom of the screen – thereby further increasing productivity.

Julie Stegman, Publisher of Stedmans, adds, Stedmans Smartype also includes a unique display of matching words to prevent the inadvertent entry of a wrong word or phrase – a common problem with conventional expanders. No one wants to go back and re-do work, and Stedmans Smartype gives transcriptionists the power to do more work in less time. Who wouldnt want that? And now that Stedmans has expanded and certified the vocabulary, Stedmans Smartype is surely the fastest transcription tool for generating the most accurate documents."
