Which dictionary do you use for the SpellChecker-Annotator? I tried it with the word list by J.Lawler (http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jlawler/wordlist.html). It worked well for some texts, but for others I get the following Exception during processing:
Caused by: java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException
at com.swabunga.spell.engine.SpellDictionaryASpell.getSuggestions(Unknown Source)

at org.apache.uima.analysis_engine.impl.PrimitiveAnalysisEngine_impl.callAnalysisComponentProcess(PrimitiveAnalysisEngine_impl.java:385)

I don't see any particular pattern in the texts for which the processing fails.
