Spell Checkers
There are no spell checkers for Jeju.
Orthography Converters
While there are no orthography converters for Jeju, there are programs that allow the user to choose prearranged Jeju-unique letters for input.
Speech Recognition Software
There are no speech recognition softwares for Jeju.(Standard Korean speech recognition softwares exist, but they fail to correctly recognize and translate Jeju language.)
Keyboard Layouts
There is no Jeju-specific keyboard layout developed. Since there is one vowel(·) not used anymore in Standard Korean that is preserved in Jeju(called "아래아" with /ɒ/ value), native speakers work around this problem by either using a Korean document editor("한/글") that supports the input or using a special program that lets the user copy the letters.[1]
However, it should be noted that many Jeju samples are written only using Modern Hangul letters(ㅗ is substituted for ·) and thus do not represent the sound correctly. Fortunately, this error tends to follow patterns and therefore may be corrected with some processing.
The document editor ("한/글") is a proprietary software and does not share its code. The special program described("제주어 100문자 입력기"), developed by a Jeju-community member, is also closed source.(I am in the process of mailing and identifying whether it is possible to obtain code/resource.)
Machine Translators
There are no machine translators for Jeju, although Google Translate and Papago by Naver support Standard Korean.
Dictionaries/Phrasebooks/Glossaries
I have found an article from a Korean newspaper that a dictionary containing Jeju vocabulary was published by a university in Jeju. It is not certain that the resource is obtainable in digital form. The same institution published documentation of conversations in Jeju.
