HI Cheryl. I don't know of any transcription services like that right now, 
but others might. Hope you get some suggestions.

I would either go to the Stedman's website or contact Oprah, LOL.  But 
seriously start with the steadman's website and go from there.

Oh yes, no one has contacted me yet about any transcription companies that 
would to someone straight out of school, and recommendations would be great. 
Thank you.

  Hello list,

  I got word from the person who
  teaches the transcription course for blind people out of Daytona that the
  Stedman's word books for 2008 are now using bookshelf, which has been used
  in the Quick Look Electronic Drug Reference for the last couple of years. 
I am extremely concerned about
  this and feel we should let them know that this will not work for blind
  people using screen-reading software and that they need to provide
  accessible copies of their books for us. Does anyone know who I can 
contact? Are they in any sort of violation of the ADA by producing their 
electronic books in a format we cannot use? Any help would be appreciated.
