This article will discuss some options available to MT's when a misspelled word is found in the InScribe dictionaries. Typically, this is found when a word that is known to be incorrectly spelled is skipped over during the spellcheck.
There are four general troubleshooting methods to fix this issue:
1. Verify that you do not have the "Check Word Parts" selected.
This option is found in InScribe under File > Options > Spelling > Correction Options. Check Word Parts should NOT be selected. This option tends to allow many misspelled words to be missed by the spellchecker.
2. Verify that the word has not been added incorrectly to one of the User Dictionaries. This can be done by following the instructions found in the article "How to Remove a Misspelled Word from your Dictionary"
3. Remove the dictionary that has the incorrectly spelled word. We have found that many incorrectly spelled words are found within the dictionary SSCEMA2.CLX. This includes drugs with incorrect capitalization and general typos. Unfortunately, this is a 3rd party dictionary that DeliverHealth does not have the ability to edit. Most of the correct words that are in this dictionary are also in other DeliverHealth dictionaries, so you could remove this dictionary from your InScribe.
Instructions for adding and removing dictionaries in InScribe can be found in the article "How to Add British Dictionaries in InScribe"
NOTE: When following the above instructions, you will ONLY want to remove the SSCEMA2.CLX dictionary.
4. Create an AutoText entry that will automatically correct a common misspelling. If you find that you consistently misspell a word that the spellchecker does not correctly identify as wrong, then it would be useful to create an AutoText entry that fixes it automatically. AutoText is usually in the format where a shortened abbreviation expands to a longer word, phrase or passage. However, in this case you would create an AutoText entry where the wrong version changes to the correct version.
