Posted in Chemspy at 3:03 pm by David Bradley -- 23 Comments; add your comment

Some time ago, chemist Adam Azman contacted me to ask if I knew of a free or open source chemistry spellchecker custom dictionary available for word processors. Unfortunately, I didn’t. A quick search revealed only paid-for dictionaries. I thought a free tool would be very useful and so did Adam and so he set about creating his own chemistry dictionary, from scratch.

Version 1.0 was originally hosted on Chemspy and is now available on Sciencebase. Adam also did a lot of extra hard work and we worth with Tony Williams of Chemspider.com to develop a new, improved version 2.0 of the chemistry dictionary.

Free Download: Chemistry Dictionary for Word/OpenOffice – version 2.0 available here.

You can read more about how Adam’s chemistry dictionary got to where it is on Adam’s chemistry blog.

Keywords: Open Access Chemistry Dictionary, Open Source Chemistry Dictionary, Microsoft Word Chemistry Dictionary, OpenOffice Chemical Dictionary.
