Spellex releases new edition of medical and pharmaceutical spelling software for the UK

Florida-based Spellex Corporation has released a new version of its medical and pharmaceutical spelling software for Microsoft and other programs. The new 2006 release includes more than 380,000 speciality words from the medical and pharmaceutical industries in the UK.

The new medical and pharmaceutical spelling dictionaries offer an alternative to paper-based medical dictionaries, pharmaceutical word books, and medical spellers that are based on American English words. By adding Spellex Medical 2006 and Spellex Pharmaceutical 2006 to a common UK English language spell checker, the spell checkers will verify correct spellings of medical and pharmaceutical words and provide correct spelling choices for incorrectly spelled terms.

The spell checkers also allow users to verify unsure spelling of medical and pharmaceutical words by phonetic or typographical search as they type. Both the standard UK English language dictionary and the Spellex speciality dictionaries are checked simultaneously with one mouse click.

Spellex Medical 2006 adds in excess of 300,000 medical words from more than 70 medical specialities to the basic speller. It checks for accurate spelling of medical and surgical terms, procedures, diseases, drug names, acronyms, eponyms, medical devices, abbreviations, Greek terms and diacritical markings such as Behcet's syndrome and Legg-Calve-Waldenstroem disease. Spell-X-Plus, a software subscription service for quarterly software updates of new medical terms and new medicationsis also available.

Spellex Pharmaceutical 2006 correctly spells thousands of OTC drugs and prescription pharmaceuticals, generic and trade name drugs, Latin and Greek terms, orphan drugs, pharmaceutical manufacturers, drug distributors and more. It includes comprehensive pharmacologic-therapeutic classifications covering anesthetics, anti-infective agents, antineoplastic agents, cardiovascular drugs, central nervous system agents, dental agents, diagnostic agents, enzymes, gastrointestinal drugs, oxytocics, serums and vaccines and vitamins.
