Recommendation for Third Party Spell Checker

[Guest Will]

Can someone recommend a third party application spell checker that would

work with text in any edit text of any application?

 

The user interaction I want is to have my user highlight text in any

application edit text box, hit some special key sequence, and to have the

spell check text then transported into the spell checker GUI. Once done,

the user would hit a button to terminate the spell checker, and the modified

text would be pasted to replace the highlighted text in the edit text

window.

 

This is such an obvious and useful idea I guess there must be dozens of

these around, but I would like to know which are the best ones.

 

My users strongly object to having to paste into Word separately and then

paste back to the application.
