Spellchecker: Lovac42's add-on Spelling Police was modified to enable Anki's built-in spellchecker.
Changes made: Joseph Yasmeh simplified the settings and added code to automatically install the English and medical dictionaries, without requiring user input.
Dictionaries: The medical .dic file was made by Glutanimate (Aristotelis P.), using works by R. Robinson and Rajasekharan N.
Changes made: Joseph converted the dictionary into a .bdic file that Anki can read. At the time of original publishing (March 2020), this was the first time a medical .bdic file was publicly available, as far as I'm aware. I have since found others here. For anyone curious for how the .dic was converted to .bdic, I used Qt Creator and messed with its built-in qwebengine_convert_dict tool, which is described a bit here. You can also try using a similar tool in Chromium, but you'd have to build it from source.
