 I know what you mean.  I stop at each word and use the "box"
feature of Vocal Eyes to check the words.  This works
great.  It checks spelling and gives my a thesaurus.
For example I just misspelled thesaurus and I corrected it with Lightning.
I will let you know if I can find anything else that
will interest you.
