What is LanguageTool?

LanguageTool is a multilingual writing checker that reviews grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style in more than thirty languages, including English, German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. Unlike checkers built only for English, it understands regional variants and formal versus informal registers, which makes it a favorite in Europe and among anyone who writes in more than one language.

It runs almost everywhere: browser extensions, Word and Google Docs add-ins, email clients, and desktop apps, with an open-source core you can even self-host. Premium adds advanced style suggestions, formal-language checks, and team style guides. Its suggestions are conservative and accuracy-focused rather than generative, so it polishes your words instead of replacing them with AI-generated alternatives.
