In general, the benefit of the built-in Solr spellcheck is that it can
use a dictionary based on your actual index.
If you want to use some external API, you certainly can, in your actual
client app -- but it doesn't really need to involve Solr at all anymore,
does it? Is there any benefit I'm not thinking of to doing that on the
solr side, instead of just in your client app?
I think Yahoo (and maybe Microsoft?) have similar APIs with more
generous ToSs, but I haven't looked in a while.

Subject: Spell checking question from a Solr novice
Hi,
I am looking for a quick solution to improve a search engine's spell checking
performance. I was wondering if anyone tried to integrate Google SpellCheck API
with Solr search engine (if possible). Google spellcheck came to my mind
because of two reasons. First, it is costly to clean up the data to be used as
spell check baseline. Secondly, google probably has the most complete set of
misspelled search terms. That's why I would like to know if it is a feasible
way to go.
Thanks,
Xin
