The program is the ultimate spelling checker for medical terms. The installation is swift and Free Medical Spell Checker launches in the end. The program is as minimal as it can be; it has no features, nothing can be customized or changed. All you can do is print words and the list of medical terms matching letters you type will appear in the lower part of the main window. Clicks on words resulted in nothing, meaning that the program only checks your spelling and does not contain words explanations, even abbreviations are not deciphered. As a result the program can be used as a huge dictionary alone.

What’s new in version 3.0

Version 3.0 added new medical terms and the as-you-type lookup accuracy has been improved.

Handy little spellchecker
stacy913September 14, 2011
Pros
The pros are that is is small, lightweight, loads fast, reliable, and does not need Internet connection. I use this when I am unable to connect to the Internet but need to look something up my other spellchecker misses.
Cons
It has an extremely minimal design. You do have to have a fairly good idea of how to spell the word, because it doesn't "suggest" words for you.
Summary
I don't know why there would be negative reviews for this piece of software because it's reliable and does what it says it does. How it works is you open up the spell checker, and start typing in a word one letter at a time. It will narrow down the list of words until you hit on what you were looking for. It can be a little tedious, and I wouldn't ever use it as your main spell checker, but as a medical transcriptionst student I know I will still be keeping this around for when I do need it.
WOW! Prett great for free!!

Pros
This was downloaded very quickly and is very easy to use. For a free product that was on my computer in 45 seconds I am super impressed. For those who aren't - then go pay $100 and get a Steadmans - be prepared for it to take DAYS to download and crash frequently. Thanks again!!

I didn't feel like this program had a comprehensive enough list of words. I do transcription for neurology clinics and most of the most common words I type weren't even listed. I guess you get what you pay for. Nada.
great addition to medical library

It is a good thing it's free. Why would I pay for a list of words in a drop down menu? I am not too sure I undertsand the purpose of this medical spellchecker. Oh well, it's free!

Summary
I immediately typed in two difficult words to see if it would help me spell them correctly: Alzheimers and posriasis. They weren't even listed! Plus, it got hung up and stayed in the "a" letters even though I was typing a "p" word. You're better off getting a medical dictionary.
