Which medical dictionary is the best to get the computer? - Suggestions-NM


Posted: Apr 22, 2010

NM

Do you mean dictionary or spell checker??? - sl

[ In Reply To ..]
I use Stedman's and find it very useful for my spellchecker. As for a medical dictionary I have a hard copy Stedman's and Dorland's, and also use free medical dictionary that you can find on the web.

Guess I mean spell checker. - Suggestions

[ In Reply To ..]
We got a new computer and the medical spell checker that I currently have is Dorlands and is not compatible to the new computer. I thought I would get some input as to what everyone else thought was good before I bought one. Thanks.

I would try Spellex - ladydianamt

I have used Spellex for years and I love it!!!! I believe they have a free trial so you can try it before you buy.

I hope this helps!!!!!!
