Spell checking medical documents can be a real pain. My spelling at the best of times is atrocoius atrocious. Luckily most software, even browsers now support spell checking. The problem is now getting hold of a good medical dictionary to use with your application. Now e-medtools.com a site which specialises in medical spell checking, medical proformas and PDA software have made a 40 000 word dictionary available for free under the GPL licence. Up until their product for MS word was only available with a $10 single user licence.
The dictionary is US english and despite its size and missing some of my favourite nephrology terms I think it is a start. I will post an addendum of UK English medical terms in due course.

Tutorial
Hey
Free Medical Dictionary Download
A couple of days ago I had a quick post about changing Dictionaries Labels, this post is going to be a follow on explaining how you can add new dictionaries to your Mac. Its quite useful if you want a language that isn’t supported by Dictionary. The only problem with this tutorial is that it is a little long and the results aren’t perfect. However it is free to use and gives you a new basic dictionary.
The first step is to download a dictionary file. The best way to find them is through StarDict. This sites holds a lot of dictionary files. Find the one you want and download the .tar.bz2 file. This is known as a tarball on the site. You can find numerous dictionaries from the list and the headings at the top of the page. The dictionaries vary in quality and words, you may need to try out a couple of different ones before you find one you like.
At this point the file is in the incorrect format. You need to convert it so Dictionary can read it. Download a small app called DictUnifier. Simply choose the file you have downloaded and press convert. After a couple of minutes the file will be converted and loaded into the Dictionary app. You now have a new dictionary file that you can use.

The new dictionary file can be used right away. The quality of the dictionary files varies depending on the original source, most of them are pretty good. If you do want a professional dictionary it may be useful to buy a dedicated one which has more words and features. However for free, its pretty good.
