I'm sure you're right that the dictionary simply doesn't have medical terms;
however, you could add them. If you didn't want to do that, you could simply
use ignore all when you come to one of those words and then go to the apply
function and see your ranked spelling improve. Also you can simply go down
the list of words Kurzweil says are misspelled and do nothing so at least
you know they are not words that need correcting. Since I don't use Word I
can't make a comparison. I really admire you for making such books
available. I was a medical transcriber for some 25 years and don't know what
I would have done without my Braille Dorland's dictionary.

Well, if my version of K1000 version 10 would arrive, maybe I could use it, kind of difficult to use the newest when it has not been shipped.
BTW, maybe I just don't get the rank spelling. When I did the huge nursing book on physical examinations last summer, I found doing rank spelling or indeed even regular spell checking was almost impossible. I had to do it in sections in Word, but then, K1000 doesn't have a medical word speller and Word on my computer does. I gave up on rank spelling because it seemed like I was getting nowhere with it, which could be my lack of understanding of the nature of it or that because it did not have access to medical words it was faulty for the type of editing I was trying to accomplish.
I have books on my computer now that I want to submit to Bookshare but all the messages that have been flying about, and some of the really harsh ones have made me think that they will just stay on my computer for my use only. I got reasonable scans but there are some issues I am waiting for version 10 to fix regarding tables that were not tables.

You are so right about understanding what is required and what is possible. I guess the reason I keep mentioning the newest version of k1000 is that the tools it includes are just as important as the scanning ability particularly to us validatinors. That is the reason k1000 is so useful. They know their product is not just being used by the individual but by groups to prepare books.
