★ Supports more than 25 languages (see below)

See https://languagetool.org/addon-redirect for our browser add-on, which also supports Google Docs™.

With this extension you can check text with the free style and grammar checker LanguageTool. LanguageTool finds many errors that a simple spell checker cannot detect, like mixing up there/their, a/an, or repeating a word, and it can detect some grammar problems. It supports more than 25 languages, including English, German, Spanish, French, Dutch, Polish, and Russian.

With LanguageTool our aim is to give users a fully-featured grammar checker and proofreader that will enable them to have control and confidence over their content. While LanguageTool is a vital extension for non-native speakers; it’s also smart enough to recognize mistakes that native speakers commonly make and it will improve your writing overall. This grammar and spelling correction works across all variations of common language; distinguishing between U.S. and British English, for instance. LanguageTool also features a personal dictionary for exceptions or words that you might commonly use but that are not found in a conventional dictionary. 

Usage: Just click "Add-ons > LanguageTool > Check text" in the menu to start proofreading your document. The detected errors will be shown on the sidebar. Select an error and it will be highlighted in the text.

Unlike Grammarly and Ginger, LanguageTool works for many languages.

Your privacy is important to us: By default, this extension will check your text by sending it to https://languagetool.org over a securely encrypted connection. No account is needed to use this extension. We don't store the texts you check. In fact, we don't even store your IP address. See https://languagetool.org/privacy/ for our privacy policy.

List of supported languages: English (Australian, Canadian, GB, New Zealand, South African, US), French, German (Austria, Germany, Swiss), Arabic, Asturian, Belarusian, Breton, Catalan (also Valencian), Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Esperanto, Galician, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Khmer, Persian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique), Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog, Tamil, Ukrainian

I just started using this, and it's pretty good so far. It led me to think about a few things I didn't think about before. I'm writing a book (that I'll most likely never share with the public), and it's made it better already. Although, at one point, it did recommend something that didn't make sense. But that may just be because I'm bad at writing things, and it couldn't understand it right. I definitely recommend using this, especially if you make a lot of mistakes while writing.

I absolutely love this! it's a huge help when writing my book! the other tool I used before I could not change the language and was stuck in American English, now i can write things like 'colour' or 'favour' without being corrected, 10/10, just wish I could buy premium and have the option to check the entire doc without having the character limit of 10,000 characters for it to be able to do so.

I love picky mode, and it's much better than spellcheck.

Although it is not perfect, it makes proofreading very easy for me, especially since I don't always catch the errors that I made at 2:00 in the morning.
