Using Spell Checker
Introduction
Clinical Reporting Application (CRA) incorporates a spell checker to ensure the correct spelling of text entered into reports. As you enter comments in the report Workspace, an in-line spell checker performs a check. An on-demand spell checker is also included and used by the report Preview to ensure there are no misspellings or unrecognized words are in a final report. Both spell checkers compare detected text against a medical grade dictionary that is embedded in the Synapse database. Spell Checker can be used as needed to review the spelling within the report Preview.
