Does anyone know of any good spell checkers available? Free or cheap...

It doesn't matter if it's PHP or Perl based, or even if it's a Java applet. A combination of applet/script would also work.

However, I'm not looking for a 1,000 word spell checker. It needs to have at least 50,000 words. The ability to add custom word lists would be good too.

This is a useful freebie that I incorporated into my Invision Forum.

Free Spell Checker [spellchecker.com]

It works on any server that supports CGI. Not sure if its any good for you, but I thought I would mention it anyway!

Try GNU Aspell [aspell.net]. There is a PHP [php.net] interface which provides the pspell_* functions [php.net] and a Perl [perl.com] interface Text::Aspell [search.cpan.org]. I use it for my CMS and just about anything that I write. The only things that it is still not checking are my WebmasterWorld posts.
