1. A document (article or story) that is submitted without a contract or agreement in place. A writer writes and submits "on spec" or "on speculation" in hopes that the magazine will publish it (in the case of an article) or that the TV/movie studio will film it (in the case of a script.)

2. In general, "spec" is an abbreviation for "Specification".

If someone asks for the spec on a bolt, he is asking what are the specifications of a bolt, which would include the material, the diameter, the thread size, the load it can hold.
