About LanguageTool

LanguageTool is a grammar and spell check software that lets students, authors, freelancers, publishing houses, and businesses of all sizes identify potential errors in the content. It helps review text in various languages such as English, Catalan, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Dutch, Polish, Spanish, and more.

LanguageTool allows content creators to receive suggestions for misspellings, distinguish between British and US English, and create a personal glossary by adding words, which are not present in the standard dictionary. The solution offers plugins for MS Word, Firefox, Google Chrome, LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Apache OpenOffice, and Google Docs, allowing users to check and correct typographical errors within documents. It also identifies writing style issues, repeated words, and grammatical errors in a document or selected text.

Writers can view the detected errors in a sidebar and click on the appropriate option to correct mistakes. Businesses can also use LanguageTool to detect gender-inclusive non-conformities across salutation and incorrect checksums in ISBN or IBANs.

Language Tool - a little hero that makes you look like an eloquent professional writer

Reviewed on 2022/01/30

On the whole, this is a tool that I can't imagine my working day without, as it points out simple, small spelling mistakes, as well as larger errors during writing, which I would otherwise not have noticed. Thus, the tool allows me to process even long emails in a very short time without any error.

Pros

LanguageTool is a useful and helping hand that prevents grammar mistakes immediately and prevents them from being overlooked. It helps me to simplify texts and also, when I am about to get bogged down in long phrases. It integrates beautifully with Google Chrome as an extension and can therefore even help to prevent errors when simply writing a Facebook message.

Cons

I have the Premium version, which does show me some additional errors and makes suggestions that are not included in the Free version, but I don't see a massive increase in added value, because to be honest, the Free version already offers massive value. However, this is complaining at a very high level.

Pros

LanguageTool supports multiple languages and checks the styling issues, as well as grammar and spelling.

Cons

As other AI tools, the context might be off or missing. Still requires improvement.

Overall, I am pretty satisfied with this tool as it does its main job well.

Pros

It is a great software in terms of correcting sentences by spelling, grammar & structure. It is known for the number of languages it supports. We can access it from the browser & their website without any need for extra software which makes the work more simple. It has a free version so anyone can start using it for free.

Cons

Language tool is a great tool but it can not help to make sentences perfect through the accent. It is an average performer in multiple languages but best at none. The customer support also needs some improvements.
