We need reviews of spelling checkers for use in conjunction with
MS word and MacWrite.  Special features required are:

Easily tunable dictionaries (so that we can build one in German)
Speed (should be faster than uploading to unix and using Spell)
Capable of running on a wide variety of macs and configurations

We would prefer if we could get academic discounts for site licenses,
but this feature is not a hard requirement.  I personally prefer a
"batch" mode where the program builds a list of misspelled words for
which I can later search at my liesure, however the other people here
like interactive checkers.

If spelling checkers for MAC were already reviewed here, please e-mail
me some results.  Vendors:  Please mail me sales literature!
