I am looking for a spelling checker that not only uses
its own algorithm for finding misspellings and their corrections,
but also allows user specification of common misspellings and 
their corrections.

The purpose is to help a friend who has a spelling disorder. He
seems to misspell words in a repeatable fashion, but in such
a way as to fool the algorithms on existing software.

PC-based software would be great, but I would like to know about
anything out there.

Thanks,
