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.
