did some research and below options seems promising:

library: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-spelling-java/ 
description: This is a simple Java API that makes it very easy to call Google's
spell checker service from Java applications.
pros: simple and easy to use
cons: calling google api means external network traffic

library: https://github.com/dren-dk/HunspellJNA
description: Hunspell is the spell checker of LibreOffice, OpenOffice.org,
Mozilla Firefox 3 & Thunderbird, Google Chrome.
pros: lots of dictionaries
cons: written in c++ and required a JNA binding

library: http://jazzy.sourceforge.net/
description: pure java based spellchecker and based on most of the algorithms
that aspell has
pros: pure java implementation
cons: no update since 2005 and sourceforge only have English dictionary

Hmm, Hunspell sounds good, but deploying Zanata could become a real nightmare
if we start using JNA.

I still think a toggle is the only option that makes sense for a short-term
solution, but just for completeness, I did spot these quick and dirty Hunspell
ports too:

Javascript: http://code.google.com/p/bjspell/

Java: http://code.google.com/p/lucene-hunspell/ (tied to Lucene for some
reason)
