Without a medical spell checker installed, it is irritating to transcribe with MS Word with those red underscores all over the document. You get frustrated adding such underlined words every time to the inbuilt custom dictionary of Microsoft Word by right clicking and adding. To avoid such repeated annoyance, the more permanent solution would be installing a medical spell checker itself which works in the background.
So for the last month, I have been scouring the net for any free, installable, medical spell checker software for Microsoft Word. After all, it’s going to be a free download! So it’s worth wasting the time sieving through the Internet.
By the way, I am a radiology transcriptionist. With radiology transcription, you don’t encounter complex new medical words daily. You’ll have stereotype reports that can be done without a spell checker. So I didn’t go for a medical spell checker for my computer all this time.
Nevertheless, with my current endeavor of an extensive search on the Internet, I couldn’t end up with any such free, medical spelling check software compatible with MS Word. All that I could find all over the Internet are paid ones or shareware. They would work for one month or so and then expire. The only other option left behind was to prepare a custom dictionary for medical transcription. A collection of medical words in US English that could work in tandem with Microsoft Word. Thus a free custom medical spell checker for medical transcription in US English by a medical transcriptionist was born!
The idea was successful. At first, I was able to gather medical terms lists from Open Source Medical Spelling Word List. It has around 50,000 words, updated until 2007. I had medical words from my own personal collection and custom dictionary. Accommodating all these medical words, the number of words worked out close to 100,000 after filtering out duplicate entries.
New words come into prevalence in the field of medicine on a daily basis. Hence all the words may not have found their way into this medical glossary. Especially, all those trade names and the names of all those complex surgical instruments. If you have any list of such recent medical terms or surgical equipment glossary, mail me to add them in the future versions. Now the installation instructions of our custom medical dictionary.
Spread the word if you find it useful. I took the utmost care to avoid any error at my end. However, if you find any inconsistency that has crept through, feel free to bring it to my attention to rectify the mistakes in the future versions. We have had an elaborate discussion below on troubleshooting with various operating systems. Click “View Comments” below. Sieve through them until the end of this page if you want any specific help regarding your computer’s operating system. I do update the spell checker whenever I have ample new words. So stay tuned for alerts about the future revisions of the spell checker. Subscribe to my feed or follow me on social media.
Update (July 16, 2014): Earlier I had put this free spell checker on my other blog, MT Herald. Since I am closing down mtherald.com, I have moved this custom medical dictionary to my new site here.
