Attached is my take on it (based on yours and Andy’s code).

I use the offset and length given back by Google to figure out where  
the corrections should go.

Google seems to a) give the count in “code points” (regardless of  
encoding) and b) collapse all successive whitespace into one  
character. Here is the helper I use to adjust for that:

   def substr(str, idx, len = 10000)
     $1 if str =~ /^(?:\s+|.){#{idx}}((?:\s+|.){0,#{len}})/m
   end

When Google returns multiple suggestions, the command will show a  
menu, with the original word at the top. It does this for every  
misspelled word in the text. When there is only one suggestion, the  
command uses that, and makes the word a tab-stop.

Personally I think the menu is generally not wanted, so that part  
should probably be removed (and the first suggestion should always be  
picked).

I gave it a key equivalent of ⌥⇧F2 which is analogous with ⌥F2  
for the regular context menu (which has spelling suggestions).
