I guess none. Because they still won't catch errors in misplaced words, wrong usage (if such a thing exists), Capitalizing Every Other Word For No Good Reason, confusing its with it's, their with they're with there, your with you're, wear with where with we're... and even with what the spellcheckers can do, they aren't used much. Just look at how many documents with hilarious typos you get.
