Medical dictionary/spell check software compatible with Word - IC MT

Posted: Apr 15, 2010

I just recently quit my job with MQ after having been there for 10 years. I'm now working as an IC on Word. Does anybody have information on a good medical software program (medical dictionary/spell checker/expander) that is compatible with Word. I'd like to get something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!!

Any help would be appreciated.

The program I bought was from the Stedmans website. It is a medical speller, and dictionary, that is compatable with word 2003 and 2007, depends on the version you are using and if you have windows XP or Vista. It costs $110.00 which for me is costly. But it was worth it to me to have a updated 2010 version and my work depends on it. You can google spell checker software and be sure it is legit before paying for anything.

Like the other MT said, Stedmans is a good choice. Plus once you start buying from them, you get discounts. I just upgraded to 2010 for $40 because I had previously purchased from them. I'm not saying that you have to upgrade every year but at that price, I couldn't pass it up, especially since I had just purchased a new pc.

I use Shorthand with Word. - Anon

30-day trial period (www.pcshorthand.com)

After 30 days you can purchase it monthly for about $6.00 or yearly for about $30.00 or so.

I've used it for about 3 months now and really like it.

The other expander is Instant Text which I hear is way better than Shorthand; however, shorthand was more in my price range right now.

Hope this helps!

I forgot the expander. Shorthand works.

Any tips would be appreciated, thanx. ...

I am trying to find a good spellchecker to download for Word 2003. I had previously been working out of WP5.1 and then Pscribe, so there was no need for me to purchase one. TOO many out there, would like opinions from MTs who actually use them, not the manufacturer saying "its the best one available" and end up paying for something that is garbage.

Hi, My 3-year-old Windows XP laptop crashed on Monday; thankfully my 7-year-old Windows XP desktop still chugs along (slowly) and I've been able to do my transcription work without a glitch (for the most part). However, I need to get a new laptop, and I'm going to be buying a Windows 7 laptop. My boyfriend already has a Windows 7 and he is testing my transcription software and foot pedal on the virtual Windows XP mode that Windows 7 Professional comes with. The problem is that while ...

Thanks for your help. For some reason, my spellcheck is doubling twice. For example, if I hit F7 in the report or even upload, it would highlight a word misspelled such as Treadmil (need the extra "l" at end of word). Spellcheck will highlight word and replace. Then it will state "Spellcheck complete" and will do it AGAIN. It will then change the "treadmil" word to not only right the first time by adding an extra "l", but will add ANOTHER "l" to spell TREADMILLL. Ho ...

Not used to 6.1 yet and can't find the info. Is there a way to have the spell checker suggest words, like it used to do? Are my settings off? Most words have no suggestions, and even with "coumadin" for example, there is no suggestion of "Coumadin." Thanks! ...

Be careful with the spell check. It is not working properly. I just let something go through that I thought spell check would catch and I would fix it when I came to the end of the document. I just realized that I let it go through and it never picked up my error. :( Also, did anyone else notice that when the new version 6.1 was installed some of your expansions were lost? This happened to me. I lost many of my expansions. ...
