Don't need a medical dictionary, but you should have the Stedman's spellchecker loaded. Can

It's not a MEDICAL spellchecker. You have to convince them to add the medical spellchecker.
unless you feel like adding 10,000 medical terms on your own time LOL
I would buy new a Dorland's Medical Dictionary, Stedmans Medical and Surgical Equipment...SM
and Tessier's The Surgical Word Book, 3rd edition. Books you could buy used I would say would be Stedman's Pathology and Lab Medicine and Cardiology/Pulmonary word book. These are all the books I use the most during my day. You could buy other speciality word books as you need them and could probably go used with those.
I wouldn't bother with buying a drug book, new editions come out every year and I just stick to the FDA website and RXList as my drug references.
Also FYI, not a book, but I use my Stedman's Electronic Medical Dictationary a lot. It's easier to open the program than it is to pick up a huge 30-pound dictionary.

Does anyone know if there is a place to download a free medical dictionary?

Hey thanks guys for the suggestions. I am going to be doing transcription at home for they physician I work for and am using Word perfect 12. It has a spell check on it but was looking for a medical spell check I could download and use along with a general spell check.
This is why every MT should own a medical dictionary. NM

I loaded Stedman's and it did not automatically load into my Word dictionary. Can anyone help me out?
And there is a medical spellchecker
at most places (yes, I've worked places there was not and every medical term had to be added meticulously to the regular spellchecker. I've also worked places where the spellchecker had many, many errors in it, so keep that possibility in mind. Be ever so careful about adding terms, be they MD names or new drugs or whatever.
Use a program like ShortHand to help you with words you chronically misspell and common phrases, even if they are just English phrases. There are tricks. For instance, type ecoli and have it change to E. coli. But have some special ending (I use j) to add to it to make it spell out this tricky bacteria in full, properly capitalized. Do you think I remember each time the right way to type HER-2/neu ? No, I just type h2n and the above pops up for me. Plenty of tricks available for the trickiest terms.

how many of you use a medical spellchecker? I was wanting to purchase one. Do you have any suggestions as to what's the best kind to purchase?

Stedman's Medical Dictionary
I want to move a custom Stedman's medical dictionary to another computer (the one the MT created). Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks !
what kind of medical dictionary CD .....
What kind of medical dictionary program do you have on your computer? I'm wanting to get one but not sure what's good. I usually buy Stedman's books. Thanks for any info.
Need Medical Spellchecker and Word.
Anyone know where I can find an affordable medical spellchecker and also an affordable copy of MS Word 2000 or 2003? Thanks :-)
Problems with medical spellchecker
Not sure but it could possibly be that your version of Word is not compatible with your spellchecking program. I recently had to reinstall my Stedmans and from what I recall, I did not see the version of Word listed that you were referring to in your post. You might want to call Stedmans or whomever you have your spellchecking software through and check with them.
Electronic medical spellchecker
Can anyone tell me the best electronic medical spellchecker on the market and where I can buy it? Starting a new account and it is required to have.

Medical Spellchecker Question
The other day a technician (from the doctor's office that I work for) was in my computer fixing a problem I had. The next thing I know, my medical spellchecker is nowhere to be found. He insists he didn't delete it. Has this happened to anyone else? Any idea if it's still in my computer somewhere or how you could tell. I did a simple search but came up empty. Needless to say I'm not very happy.
medical spellchecker software
I know this has been asked numerous times, but I just updated computers and had Stedmans medical spellcheck 2005. When I called them to activate it on my new computer (I figured they wouldn't do it, it being so old) they told me it doesn't support MS Word 2007 anyway, and it will cost $99 to upgrade to that version. My question is, what medicl spellcheck does anyone recommend for me that isn't so expensive but is a very good medical spellcheck. Since that is what you all do for a living I wanted to get some opinions. Thanks very much.

Stedman's medical dictionary software
Has anyone had any experience with the Stedman's medical dictionary software? I will be starting with a new company at home soon and I'm wondering about compatibility, etc. Any info would be appreciated! Thank you!
More specifically, free medical spellchecker, sorry about that..

DocQscribe Platform and Medical Spellchecker.
I absolutely hate the spell check on DocQScribe and wondered if any one knows if it is possible to get another spell checker to work with it. I have Sylvan Software's Medical Spell Checker and love it in Word. I also have their Shortcut word Expander and that works in the platform automatically. It would make my life so much easier if I could get the spell checker to work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Smartype and Stedman's Medical Dictionary are 2 different things.
The Smartype is a word Expander of all the medical terms, but the dictionary is the actual words with definitions. :)
Looking for a good medical spellchecker that doesn't cost as much?
Is everyone just using spellex or stedmans or are there lower cost alternatives?
How did you find them in the first place? Just curious because I don't want a cheaper product to act cheap also.
Any ideas?
TIA

Stedmans Medical Dictionary or MD for the Health Prof and Nursing?

Spellex medical spellchecker and line count software
Does anyone use this program. Is it any good. I have abacus right now that I have had for about 8 or 9 years and I really like it but I just upgraded to Word 2007 and I don't like the way it does the new count. It is a stand alone now instead of working inside Word and it does not seem to be as accurate and function as well. Also I have Dorlands electronic medical spellchecker and I really like it because it will correct things automatically that I misspell and stuff and it words directly in Word but it is not compatible with Word 2007. Does anyone have any advice on this or any software that is good and works with Word 2007?
Thanks
Have your medical dictionary handy while taking the multiple choice part of the test.(nm)

Everytime you re-load Word you need to re-load Stedmans medical spellchecker.

Medical Transcription In The Era Of Electronic Medical Records
EMR has revolutionized the healthcare industry in recent times. Many experts felt that EMR & Voice Recognition would totally replace Medical Transcription - however; the industry soon realized that transcription has certain advantages over point & click charting and many physicians preferred to dictate notes rather than document the data at the point of care themselves.
Exactly. It's not in the dictionary. That's why you need...
In order to know what verbiage is outside the norm, but is still acceptable in the profession. USE RESOURCES (and not human ones)! Does a surgeon ask 'gee, where's the pancreas again?'

o·ri·en·tal (ôr'ē-ĕn'tl, ōr'-) pronunciation
adj.
1. often Oriental Of or relating to the countries of the Orient or their peoples or cultures; eastern.
2. Oriental Of or designating the biogeographic region that includes Asia south of the Himalaya Mountains and the islands of the Malay Archipelago.
3. Lustrous and valuable: oriental pearls.

n.
often Oriental Often Offensive. An Asian.
orientally o'ri·en'tal·ly adv.
USAGE NOTE Asian is now strongly preferred in place of Oriental for persons native to Asia or descended from an Asian people. The usual objection to Oriental—meaning “eastern”—is that it identifies Asian countries and peoples in terms of their location relative to Europe. However, this objection is not generally made of other Eurocentric terms such as Near and Middle Eastern. The real problem with Oriental is more likely its connotations stemming from an earlier era when Europeans viewed the regions east of the Mediterranean as exotic lands full of romance and intrigue, the home of despotic empires and inscrutable customs. At the least these associations can give Oriental a dated feel, and as a noun in contemporary contexts (as in the first Oriental to be elected from the district) it is now widely taken to be offensive. However, Oriental should not be thought of as an ethnic slur to be avoided in all situations. As with Asiatic, its use other than as an ethnonym, in phrases such as Oriental cuisine or Oriental medicine, is not usually considered objectionable.
An Asian person once corrected my brother on this point. I'd go with Asian rather than risk being offensive.
dictionary help
It has been my observation that once downloaded and set up it runs automatically if spellchecker is part of your package- I did not have to "add" only download - best way to tell is type in a medical word - also - start, programs and find stedmans for your tab to select and open for searchs in dictionary itself- you can keep it minimized.
you'd better get a new dictionary
Callus is a noun
Callous is an adjective - whether you're using it to describe a lesion on your foot or the way a person acts. Actually, the latter use originated from the medical use because a callous lesion is "hard and rough around the edges" like some people can be.

Spellchecker
I have always used Steadman's (provided by employer), but had to buy one for an IC job. I got Dorland's spellchecker free with the purchase of a Dorland's dictionary (less than $50). I find it to be similar to Steadman's and thrilled that I didn't have to spend $100+. I am not sure if they are still offering this software free, but worth checking into (I bought the 30th edition about a year ago).
It does have a its own Spellchecker...
I have worked in several different Meditech systems. They all had spellcheckers and you can even add words (new medicines).

I am managing 10 copy editors at a pharmaceutical company. I am going to get a med/pharm/?vet spellchecker and would be interested in opinions on the best one.
I am leaning heavily towards Stedman's or Spellex as both offer quarterly updates.
Your opinions would be appreciated.

I have the same problem and was wondering the same thing!

I work in Meditech/Word and my spellchecker is shift F9 for sure. Has worked for 3 years as shift F9.

I need to purchase a medical spellchecker. Which one is the best one to get?
I don't know about the spellchecker
I don't know how it is with the spellchecker, but the electronic word books now you can only download twice. If buying on e-bay and they have a very good rating I probably wouldn't hesitate to buy it and then if it didn't work you could return it or they could refund you, otherwise I would probably be hesitant to purchase used.
spellchecker
I use Dorland's. I just bought the newest edition of the dictionary which comes with the spellchecker cd. Up-to-date and easy to install.

If you had to purchase a medical spellchecker for your computer, which brand would you buy and where are good prices for them?
