AFAIK, the built in Richtext editor that Umbraco doesn't check the spelling as you type. You have to press the button in the toolbar to make it check the spelling, sorry!
The bottom line is that Umbraco HQ has ignored the spell checker problems since way back in V3. There have been various hack type fixes that individuals have come up with, but as they are not part of Umbraco, they break with many updates and have to be "re hacked".
I have been hyper critical of much of this project as of late due to issues just like thist that are simply ignored by those who could easily fix them. This entire project is mismanaged and riddled with similar issues. Don't hold your breath for a fix, as it is not likely going to happen. Instead you will get some excuse that "umbraco is not a word processor". The search function of this forum outright sucks, but using google, you will find dozens of posts on the Spell Checker subject... It is just not going to get fixed.

Thanks tim,I'll find another option.

I've posted about it as well...seems to be a fair amount of problems with it.

For what its worth I filed a bug report on it.

The Google spellchecker service this relies on (https://www.google.com/tbproxy/spell) may have been turned off for good.
An alternative is the HunSpellChecker plugin
is working on a reply...
