I just started a study-at-home course in Medical Transcription. Included in the study materials is the (rather huge) Dorland Illustrated Medical Dictionary. That in turn included a free Medical Spellchecker -- handy to have in my future profession.
Upon starting the install, I noted that it expects to be installed to MSOffice or MSWord, probably somehow hooking into the existing spell-
checking functionality -- how, I don't know. Since I don't know how such things work, I was curious if there was a close enough relationship between MSO & OOo's handling of such that it might be made to work with the latter, also, in some fairly straightforward fashion.
I didn't get much of a look at the program, since I quit the install when I realized how program-specific it appears to be. Would be nice to have, as I said, but at this point, I'm planning on sticking with OOo unless it becomes obvious OOo simply won't work for my needs for some reason. And if this spellchecker won't work with OOo, I'd forgo the spellchecker for the moment.
I realize nobody's liable to have direct knowledge of this particular product, but in general terms, how likely is it that it could be made to work?
Hi David
I can't help with your Dorland Spellchecker, but if you are interested, I have collected about 5000 medical words and structured them so they can be used as a spellcheck dictionary in OOo. I realise this is not many words, but it is not too difficult to customise it to your own needs, especially if you are working in a fairly limited field. If you are interested I could let you have a copy.
Regards
Russell
