On the Mac, I’m using an app named Checkbook Pro from Splasm Software.  There 
is a Checkbook Pro available for iDevices, but this is not connected with the 
Mac version to the best of my knowledge.  There are other iOS check writing 
apps.
If you want to use the app to actually print filled out checks I must advise  
that you’ll need full-sheet blank checks such as Quick Books checks.  These can 
be purchased through your bank or directly through Deluxe Checks but they are 
rather expensive.  I suppose this isn’t really a big deal if you only write a 
few checks a month.  You will likewise need the full-sheet blank checks if this 
is for an iOS device.

I typically write out 4 to 6 checks a month to pay individuals who are not 
quite as connected as electronic payments would require.  I prefer to use 
Checkbook Pro as a check register exclusively and use the check writing 
templates available through many blind service organizations.  Of course, there 
are those folks that have no idea how to form letters and/or numerals so I 
would imagine this would not be feasible for them.

One last point, the numbers that appear at the bottom of a check (Routing 
Number, Account Number and I don’t know what the third sequence of numerals 
represents) are printed on official checks with magnetic ink to facilitate 
processing.  This is why you cannot print out the entirety of a check from a 
blank sheet of paper.  Of course, I imagine those magnetic ink printers could 
be purchased but I suspect the cost would be extremely prohibitive.
