Is there a stand-alone extension to applescript that would spell check some
text passed to it or is there some other way to spell check a text string?


There is a scriptable stand-alone spelling checker. It's called "Excalibur" version 4.0.6 and is available via VersionTracker. I don't know if it will help, but here's the entire dictionary ...

Word Services Suite
This suite allows any application to use a speller, grammar checker, or other text service as if it was a built in menu item.
BatchProcessMyText v : Batch process one or more blocks of text in a document. Direct parameter is a list of object specifiers to text blocks to be checked.
BatchProcessMyText [list of reference]
check word v : Check a single word. A list of guesses may be returned if requested when the word is incorrect.
check word char
direct object char
guess word v : Get guesses for a single, presumably incorrectly spelled word.
guess word char
[guess count integer] : This is the maximum number of guesses that are desired if the word is incorrect.
