This code works just fine for me: NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromRange([[NSSpellChecker sharedSpellChecker] checkSpellingOfString: @"hello, hwo are you today?" startingAt: 0]));
Which prints '{7, 3}', as expected. I'll go out on a limb and guess that you're trying to access the spell checker from an atypical context. Is this code failing in a bread-and-butter Cocoa app launched from the Finder? Or are you doing something fancy like, say, writing a launchd daemon or agent or something other than a 'normal' Cocoa app?
