In Reply to: Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced medical spell checker? - TG
I got Dorland's spellchecker about a year or so ago when I bought the new 30th edition of the dictionary. I feel it is comperable to Steadmans. The hard back dictionary and the CD spellchecker together cost only $50. Even if you don't need the dictionary, there aren't many spellcheckers out there for that price. Check their website to see if they are still offering this, though. Like I said, this was about a year ago.

I use the online Dorlands. sm
I agree- DORLANDS ALL THE WAY
Dorlands is far better than Stedman's, at least for radiology, its amazing. I too purchased the dictionary (30th edition) and the CD spell checker came free. (50.00!) Have never had to open the dictionary - the spell checker is that good - plus you can use Dorland's.com for free - and if you go to that site, (as a registered member, you can now download an additional free spell checker.
For my laptop I purchased the FULL Dorlands dictionary on CD Rom. That's nice. but not necessary.
It's PUSSY it's in Dorlands and Websters.

AMEN! Dorlands is THE book! nm

Always Dorlands' first and foremost. Stedmans is a poor second.

I use secure online reference sites for everything else.
To me, Dorlands will always be the gold standard. I have one, and use their online source also. nm
