Free medical spellchecker for Mozilla Firefox

Medicine is entering the Internet age with electronic medical records, email from patients, on line medical references, and much more accessed through web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox.

Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser, that is now the second most popular web browser after Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Firefox features tabbed browsing, live bookmarks, and integrated search.

Firefox can be extended with add-ons and visual themes to customize the browsing experience.

In addition to these features, Firefox now includes a built in spell checker that can accept custom dictionaries such as OpenMedSpel.

OpenMedSpel is a free and open source custom medical dictionary for Firefox, capable of banishing the frustration of having nearly every medical word in a document identified as misspelled!

OpenMedSpel adds nearly 50,000 medical words (USA English) to the Mozilla Firefox spell checker. OpenMedSpel can be downloaded by clicking this download button.
