Author Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Spell Checker for Many Languages" February 22, 2022 5.0 It's a very good tool. What makes it better than Grammarly is the many languages it covers, not only English. Pros I like that it easily integrates with the Chrome browser and detects not only the spelling errors but even the language you're using, so it makes the right suggestions depending on the language you're using without you having to manually switch it from one language to another. I am truly amazed that it immediately detects when I'm writing emails in Romanian, and it even corrects my diacritics! Cons The only problem I have with it so far is when I use certain screen shaders or the text is on a blue background, I cannot see the underlined words.

Content Creator Writing and Editing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great alternative to Grammarly" January 13, 2023 5.0 Great tool, affordable and easy to use. Very versatile and a broad variety of integrations. Cheaper alternative for grammarly, but has less functionality Pros large set of integration options and pluginssupports multiple languageseasy to use and fast checker Cons Not always on point with languages other than Englishlacks in the department of style checkingNo plagiarism check Review Source NP Nils P.

Correction juste que ce soit au niveau grammaticales conjugaison ou encore syntaxique ! De plus vous pouvez choisir n'importe quelle langue ou presque. Pros C'est plutôt une extension qu'un logiciel à mon sens, qui fait, évidemment correctement son travail (version gratuite). Cons Aucune chose n'a été déprécié à mon avis.

The free version of this app is more enough when compared to the other high monthly subscription market available software. Just give a try on this cool app and make your outputs without gramma issues. Pros When we reached some level, we can’t make silly mistakes when we deal with professional matters, and Language tool is the best solution to take care of these matters. It’s really helpful for me during my emails, project submissions, report makings to just ensure the grammatical errors and other stuff. It's freely available and not much as complicated to use it. We can install the plug-in for Microsoft Word and thereafter we are free to simple grammar issues on our daily outputs. Cons I did not notice any negative signs of these cool app. Hope more future updates should improve the service into the next level. Review Source EE Elroy E. Internal Auditor Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Its a perfect proof reader" April 22, 2022 5.0 Pros Its easily integrated with other software and very easy to use. I love the fact that it can be turned off if needed especially when the document being created contains a of of slangs and dialect that deviates from the standard language. I love the customization feature and that I can add to the dictionary. Cons Its a good tool to use and I haven't found any issues since using it Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Language Analyst Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "OK for a community-based tool but leaves one wanting" October 17, 2019 4.0 I used to like it until I discovered other tools. I still use it every now and then to check if they've improved. I might have contributed a rule or two to LT as well. Pros LT is simple and easy. You paste your text and check. It checks spelling, grammar, and such. It's good considering it's free and community-based. And it's perhaps the only major Grammar checking tool in non-English languages. Cons While it's better than Word any day, it leaves a lot to be desired. Other grammar checkers that are free too give a lot more changes. It fails to capture many, many errors. Review Source MA Mohammed A. Researcher Research Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "LanguageTool is an excellent tool" February 23, 2023 5.0 LanguageTool improves writing. It corrects grammar, spelling, and style. The commercial version includes more powerful features than the free version, which has some limitations. Pros LanguageTool supports over 30 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese, making it a great tool for users who write in many languages.LanguageTool analyzes text using complex algorithms to detect grammatical and spelling errors, resulting in very accurate suggestions. Cons LanguageTool, like any automated tool, may occasionally recommend modifications that are unneeded or erroneous.While LanguageTool can detect some types of plagiarism, it is not as thorough as specialist plagiarism checkers.

Network Administrator Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My grammar and spelling are better because of this" April 1, 2021 5.0 This tool is an add-on that I use with Firefox. It underlines my mistakes and suggests a fix, whether it is for a grammar or spelling mistake. In fact, it has highlighted a few mistakes that I made in this review. My typing is poor and this readily highlights all of my mistakes. Pros This tool corrects my most common grammar mistakes Cons Integration with some Google products, like sheets, is missing Review Source sM sal M. catedrático Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "No funciona" October 24, 2022 1.0 Pros De momento, nada. Puesto que no lo puedo utilizar. Cons He pagado una subscripción anual para corregir textos en español. Tras largas sesiones de configuración/activación, me es imposible utilizarlo. Solo tengo acceso a una versión gratuita que es de vergüenza. Además, buena parte de la información está en inglés, lo cual es una clara muestra de mala educación. El servicio al cliente no está mal, pero no resuelve mi problema. Review Source EJL Ernest John L. Director E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Spelling and Punctuation Excellent" November 28, 2022 4.0 Pros Typing quickly without looking at keyboard and screen, knowing “LanguageTool” will identify spelling and punctuation errors, great. Cons Does not identify miss keys. If you type in, “the qiuck brown fix jumps overt thr lazy dog.”It will only correct as “The quick brown ..... jumps......the lazy dog.” So proofreading is still essential and time consuming. Review Source BJ Bobbett J. Owner-Operator Farming Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Use as you need to with no commitment" August 11, 2019 4.0 Not too hard to install. All its features can be downloaded for free, and you only use those features that you want. Not hard to do spell checks with, grammar checks, typos, etc. Pros I've used this program on an as-needed basis. The first time I ran the info on my website through it to check for errors. It found a few that not even I had seen! I use it several times a week when I right reviews on products that I've bought to make sure my grammar is correct and there are no typos. I've also used it on essays and before handing in report for college. It really find things that you normally would overlook. Cons There's nothing that I really dislike although it sometimes finds mistake that I don't think are mistakes, so I over-ride the programming. I just wish it could be "taught" my personal style so it could learn. Review Source SP Sharmin P. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Satisfied" March 11, 2022 5.0 Pros It can be integrated into words and the internet. Cons It has glitches with style and other details. Review Source GK Gael K. Customer Success Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great" August 7, 2019 5.0 Pros As long as i have to write emails all day long, and in different languages, it helps me to correct mistakes. I can't work now without it. Cons for long emails, you need to upgrade it and use the paid version. At the moment, i am only using the free Version. Review Source SU Shahzaib U. CEO Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Breaking Language Barriers - Top Writing Software" November 20, 2019 5.0 Pros Language tool is one of my favourites and Best Software I have used so far, I am providing SEO optimized Article writing services online, sometimes I get articles of different language at that time of difficulty LanguageTool has helped me a lot. It can detect your Grammar errors, Style, Formatting and can write in any language easily. I recommend Language tool to all of my friends. Cons The only thing I don't like it, we can't check plagiarism with this tool, a lot of other software providing this feature other than that its one of the best software without any doubt. Review Source HS Hanah S. Freelance Writer Writing and Editing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very Simple " April 4, 2019 4.0 Overall, I was looking a while back for a list of simple sites just like this. This solved my problem. I wanted to give out more than one simple grammar proofreading site to other people I know who love to write. This solved my problem because I needed more than one site to look into. This site is added to my writing list and it will stay. Pros This site and download is simple. I love how I can just paste my whole document or short writing project into the blank area on the screen. It's not long and complicated. I just love how easy this is. I can also connect this with Microsoft Word which I always use. If my document has a mistake in it the website/program will easily pick it up. It will highlight the grammar mistake or error. I just have to click on it and it will tell me options to fix it. It's like other simple sites, but I will continue to keep this one on my list. There is a quick option to delete everything if needed which is helpful when I need to finish my work fast. Cons There is only a few things I don't like about it. I really wish there were more grammar mistake helpful tips. Each level of the site has only a certain amount of options. I also wish it would have an unlimited amount of characters it could check. The amount they have is pretty good, but for a writer I would want unlimited. Review Source MR Maria R. Writer Writing and Editing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Grammar Tool Easy to Use" July 15, 2020 5.0 I find LanguageTool a good tool for grammar and spelling checks. Pros I use the free version and love the multi-language option. LanguageTool recognizes grammar and spelling errors for documents written in UK & American English, Italian, Spanish, and more. Cons The yearly subscription must be paid all at once if you want to keep the cheap rate. If you choose the monthly payment, the price is approximately three times more expensive.

CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The only grammar checker that supports more than just English" December 29, 2020 5.0 Pros Easy to use, integrates flawlessly. Suggestions are always helpful. Cons I'm quite happy currently. There might be more feedback in the future Review Source SH Sheza H. Content Writer Writing and Editing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best Solution for Your Content" November 5, 2019 4.0 Pros I like this software as it helps me to check my contents within no time. It corrects the mistakes present in the articles or other materials. The free version of this tool is more than enough, and it is the best alternative to Grammarly. Also, it is quite easy to install and use. Cons Sometimes, I feel that this tool gives you limited options for your content. It may be because of its free version. I wish LanguageTool could check more words. Review Source CH Camilo H. Business Development Rep Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A must have if you are writing emails" August 24, 2021 5.0 Pros It’s available in different languages, (Spanish in my case). It’s quite accurate in the grammar review. Cons It’s not as powerful as grammarly for the English language. Lack of tone of the paragraph and other extras. Review Source Cort Tafoya D. Marketing Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Effective tool and helpful for fast typers" April 16, 2021 5.0 I feel like this tool is my friendly helper for better writing and grammar. Pros I tend to type as fast as I can think of what I'm going to say and I catch so many errors when I'm finished. This tool has prevented me from sharing some writing that is filled with bad grammar. Cons It's not that easy to work on multiple blocks of text that you're checking from different docs. It can get confusing because it's all in one editor.

" September 1, 2020 1.0 Unhappy wanted a refund after 22 days, wouldn't refund any of my 1 year subscription Pros nothing, so many errors and changing British to US spellings Cons Awful compared to Grammarly, terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible Switched from [Grammarly Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/170306/Grammarly-Business/) cheaper Review Source DC Dean C. Owner Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Another "Social Justice Warrior" Company" December 5, 2019 1.0 Social justice warriors disguised as a software tool. Pros Nothing other than it was FREE. You get what you pay for... Cons This company is using their product to push a social agenda. When I entered "illegal alien," it flagged it as incorrect and suggested phrases such as: "Undocumented" this or that... I don't need software that corrects me when I use a term THEY don't agree with, even though it is the proper term. Review Source Similar Products Featured
