I have a medical spell checker on my computer. My job is in the medical field and so I figured I'd be familiar with the terminology and also I have the ability to spell check, K1000 does not have a medical spell checker and that is annoying for me since all the stuff I have scanned in the past several months is definitely loaded with medical terms.

If there are a lot of medical terms, that may not help. If you take the .rtf file into Kurzweil and perform a ranked spelling, maybe that'll help, if you're not going to read the whole thing. That'll help give you a quicker glimpse of whether anything really should be fixed or not. As far as hyphens go, unless they're compound words that are supposed to be hyphenated, the common consensus, I believe, is to put them together, but with that large of a book, there's little wonder that you wouldn't want to read the whole thing! Take care.

Question, I am validating a larger project than I'd planned, Physical Examination for Health Assessment. All the copyright info is most definitely present. I converted this doc file to RTF immediately. My question is this, there are a lot of hyphenated words, and the hyphens appear to be properly placed, my guess they were done by the publisher, or else the submitter (no name shown) did a good job, I should leave these alone? It would read better aloud without them, but, this is about a 900 page document, I am not really inclined to remove them all. Any opinions? This book had a fair rating, although in the first few pages, I have not found anything other than those hyphens that could be questionable.
