LanguageTool

LanguageTool offers a range of features to enhance writing quality. It includes a grammar checker that identifies errors such as subject-verb agreement and wrong plural forms. The punctuation checker ensures proper use of commas, dashes, and hyphens. The casing checker corrects incorrect capitalization. The style checker detects overused phrases, redundancies, and improper word choice. Additionally, the Picky Mode provides more style and tonality suggestions, detects long or complex sentences, and recognizes colloquialisms. The tool also includes a paraphrasing tool that uses AI to rephrase sentences for formality, fluency, simplicity, or conciseness.

LanguageTool is used by over 2000 organizations, including the European Union, Spiegel Magazine, and Deutsche Presse-Agentur. It is suitable for various writing tasks such as emails, blog posts, tweets, academic papers, and office documents. The browser add-on works across Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and Opera, providing suggestions while typing on any website. The desktop apps for Windows and macOS integrate with apps like Outlook, Word, Slack, and Notes. The Google Docs add-on and Microsoft Word add-in allow for seamless checking within these platforms.
