Features & Capabilities

MedSpell is a comprehensive English medical dictionary Chrome extension designed for healthcare professionals frustrated with default American English spell checkers. It combines a standard dictionary, pharmacopoeia, and a detailed medical word list including ICD9 terms, procedures, and drug names approved in Canada, as well as terms common in Australia and the UK.

MedSpell uses British English spellings for conditions and procedures (e.g., colourblindness) and includes drugs approved by Health Canada like Gravol and Dabigatran, alongside Australian and UK-specific drugs such as Paracetamol and Pethidine. The dictionary is Med-Spell checked and in version 1.0.4 is labeled as English, providing precise and localized medical spelling support for users in these regions.

Is MedSpell Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

MedSpell does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low This permission has no access or impact on the user's system or data, thus carrying no risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

MedSpell has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
