###Description
This is a simple list of English medical terms formatted as a UTF8-encoded text file. It is based on two prominent medical dictionary projects:
- OpenMedSpel by e-MedTools
- Raj&Co-Med-Spel-Chek by Rajasekharan N. of Raj&Co
The two sources have been merged, deduplicated, corrected and formatted as a text file that should be compatible with Android dictionary managers, LibreOffice, and Word.
###Usage
Android
Copy wordlist.txt to the root directory of your Android phone. Then install the excellent User Dictionary Manager by Adrian Vintu and use it to import the terms to your user dictionary. More information may be found here. Note: Because of the size of the wordlist importing might take a (very long) while.
LibreOffice
Easier method
If you are on Linux check out hunspell-en-med-glut for a ready-made Hunspell dictionary that can be installed system-wide.
Manual installation
Follow the instructions provided in this Q&A to create a new custom dictionary. Make sure to name it in a recongizable fashion (e.g. medicalterms-en) and activate it in the menu.
Find out where your LO user profile is located. Then proceed to navigate to <LO user profile directory>\3\user\wordbook and find your dictionary (e.g. medicalterms-en.dic). Open it in a text editor of your choice (e.g. Gedit on Ubuntu; Notepad++ on Windows, NOT Notepad!). Copy and paste the full contents of wordlist.txt below the dashed line (---). Save the file while making sure it remains UTF-8 encoded and restart LibreOffice.
Word
Rename wordlist.txt to medicalterms-en.dic and follow the instructions provided here.
