Better spelling through chemistry
Would you like to be able to write chemical papers in a word processor with a dictionary that can tell the difference between a correctly spelled technical term and an actual misspelling? Tired of trying to convince your computer that ‘dimer’ is, in fact, correct and should not automatically become ‘dimmer’?
If so, you might like to download and install the Chemistry Dictionary for Word Processors (version 2.0).
Developed by Adam Azman, a PhD candidate in synthetic organic chemistry, this dictionary contains over 104,000 chemical terms, and is compatible with Microsoft Office (Windows or Mac) or OpenOffice (Windows or Linux). The dictionary is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, and was built using a previous draft and resources from ChemSpider.
Download, correct, or request additions to the Chemistry Dictionary for Word Processors at the Chemistry Blog, or find out more about how it was built.
