Bob Arnum's wife Erin is a medical transcriptionist.
She was always flipping through dictionaries looking
for the right spellings for medical words. So Bob wrote some software to
fix that problem -- along with several others.
A Phonetic Dictionary
We have developed a patented phonetic dictionary that eliminates most
vowels. Erin also finds it increases her typing speed. As time goes
on, we're adding all the words from Stedman's, Dorland's, the American
Drug Index, and all the Stedman's word books with our own
phonetic definitions. That is a large value inside a very small
subscription fee.
An End To 'Couchkick'
We're familiar with the dreaded 'couchkick' phenomenon: a word the
physician says has suddenly turned into something completely unrecognizable.
Our phonetic dictionary cuts down on these problems by eliminating most of
the vowels, so you can look a word up based on the consonants.
Autocorrect Feature
We give you a great autocorrect dictionary which is based on the
phonetic dictionary we've got. So you can either look the word up in
our databases, or just type the abbreviation in to the body of your
document to expand it! Great work, Bob.
A Spell Checker For All Fields
Our spellcheck has 200,000+ medical and pharmaceutical words right now,
and it will continue to grow.
