You could extend the Lync Client and add that functionality yourself (Lync Client SDK)
Thanks for your help!
Bit late on this thread, came accross it researchign for another answer. But if you are looking for an alternate fix Autohotkey can 'spell check/autocorrect' all your text including that in Lync.

Hello,
Currently Lync IM does not have a spell checker.
But...whisper...i hear in windows8 there actually IS a spell checker when running lync client. ;-)

And in the mean time, using autokey you can kinda get it:

or phraseexpress: (thanks to Tom Arbuthnot for this suggestion)

Till windows8 ;-)
That's a straight autohotkey issue by the sound of it, so kind of out of scope for this forum. Try PhraseExpress or similiar, they are more user friendly options
cheers
Tom
agree Tom. Thot phraseexpress just might work where autokey didnt as another option. ;-)
agree spellchecker would be nice. i think in windows 8 we will see it (that is a forward looking statment that might be wrong ;-)
until then, suggestions above are current options.
Just a couple minutes ago Microsoft announced that Spell check is in latest update:

I can confirm that I (running Lync 2013 on Win7) do have spell check in Lync now! Quite a nice surprise.....but surprising it took till now to get it!
