We would need the spell checker to be reactivated and modified so that articles can be checked on their own (rather than giving a huge list of all pages with particular errors in them). I don't fancy copying entire articles into MS Word to check for errors (and people checking articles for correct spelling would be likely to miss many errors). I know the spell checker was a huge resource drain on Wikipedia, but if it is restricted to those permitted to validate articles, it shouldn't be so bad.
No, real paper publications are always ultimately checked by human eyes even for spelling. Automatic spelling is just a tool, but it can't detect every spelling mistakes.
