LanguageTool is an open-source proofreading engine that checks grammar, spelling, and style in 25+ languages. It ships as a Java library, a standalone desktop app, a self-hostable HTTP API server, and browser add-ons.

Use cases

  • check grammar and spelling in text
  • self-host a grammar checking API server
  • integrate proofreading into a Java application
  • add grammar checking to a browser or editor
  • proofread multilingual writing
  • detect style and typography issues beyond spellcheck

When to choose

  • you need multilingual grammar and style checking with a self-hostable API
  • you want an open-source proofreading core you can embed or extend with custom rules
  • you need offline or privacy-respecting grammar checking

When to avoid

  • you only need basic spellcheck with no grammar rules
  • you want a fully managed SaaS with AI paraphrasing and premium rules without self-hosting
  • your stack cannot run a JVM service
