If there is not a spell checker transformer in FME (I couldn't find one), could you please create one?
Have a large, free-form entry string field and want to flag words that don't match an English dictionary.
Think of this as an ongoing tester w/ QC .CSV output (examples in attached image), rather than a "fail over point" in an ongoing automation.
Great idea! I wonder if this would be best served through FME Hub, and designed to access an API for an online dictionary? Ideally serving more than one language. That said, I am not aware (nor have researched) what APIs might be available...

The biggest issue will probably be that most of them will require payment for more than a small number of spell checks. Also, online spell checkers might be too slow if someone wants to translate text contained in a huge number of features.
A couple of free (offline) alternatives:- http://hunspell.github.io/ (Python bindings: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/CyHunspell)
- http://aspell.net/ (Python bindings: https://github.com/WojciechMula/aspell-python)
Could make for a fun hackathon project someday!I thought about a spell check directly included in text editor (StringConcatenator and others).
In notepad++, I'm using "DSpellCheck" plugin.
