Returns `String[]` an array of paths to preload scripts that have been

#### `ses.setSpellCheckerLanguages(languages)`
* `languages` String[] - An array of language codes to enable the spellchecker for.
The built in spellchecker does not automatically detect what language a user is typing in. In order for the
spell checker to correctly check their words you must call this API with an array of language codes. You can
get the list of supported language codes with the `ses.availableSpellCheckerLanguages` property.
#### `ses.getSpellCheckerLanguages()`
Returns `String[]` - An array of language codes the spellchecker is enabled for. If this list is empty the spellchecker
will fallback to using `en-US`. By default on launch if this setting is an empty list Electron will try to populate this
setting with the current OS locale. This setting is persisted across restarts.
#### `ses.setSpellCheckerDictionaryDownloadURL(url)`
* `url` String - A base URL for Electron to download hunspell dictionaries from.
By default Electron will download hunspell dictionaries from the Chromium CDN. If you want to override this
behavior you can use this API to point the dictionary downloader at your own hosted version of the hunspell
dictionaries. We publish a `hunspell_dictionaries.zip` file with each release which contains the files you need
to host here.
### Instance Properties
The following properties are available on instances of `Session`:
#### `ses.availableSpellCheckerLanguages` _Readonly_
A `String[]` array which consists of all the known available spell checker languages. Providing a language
code to the `setSpellCheckerLanaguages` API that isn't in this array will result in an error.
#### `ses.cookies` _Readonly_
A [`Cookies`](cookies.md) object for this session.

Sets a provider for spell checking in input fields and text areas.
If you want to use this method you must disable the builtin spellchecker when you

The `provider` must be an object that has a `spellCheck` method that accepts
an array of individual words for spellchecking.
The `spellCheck` function runs asynchronously and calls the `callback` function
