 No, you couldn't have a spellchecker for any particular language: you
 could try to verify that it "didn't look like language" (mostly 
 alphabetic with a regular alternation of vowels with consonants,
 having converted accented letters into plain letters) and "didn't
 look like tables of figures (not mostly digits, or digits and A to F,
 with a fairly even distribution of digits).  A high proportion of
 spaces and punctuation would be indicative of possible ascii-art.

 Nice picture BTW
