How to Use the Grammar Checker
- Paste or type the text you want to check.
- Choose the language variant if needed.
- Click Check to analyse your writing.
- Review each suggestion and apply the fixes you agree with.
What a grammar checker catches
A grammar checker is great at spotting the mechanical slips that are easy to miss in your own writing: typos, doubled words, subject-verb agreement, punctuation and awkward spacing. Fixing those instantly lifts the polish of any email, essay or post.
It is a first pass, not a substitute for editing. It will not judge whether your argument is clear or your tone is right, so read your work through afterwards as well.
Using it well (and a privacy note)
Treat each suggestion as advice rather than a command: accept the ones that genuinely improve clarity and ignore those that miss your intent. Reading a flagged sentence aloud is a quick way to decide.
Unlike most tools here, the grammar checker sends your text to an open proofreading service to analyse it, so it needs an internet connection and your text leaves your device for that check. Avoid pasting anything highly confidential.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the grammar check work?
Your text is sent to LanguageTool, a free and open-source proofreading service, which returns grammar, spelling and style suggestions that are displayed here.
Is my text private?
Unlike our fully client-side tools, this checker must send your text to the LanguageTool API to analyse it. Avoid pasting confidential information, and see the LanguageTool privacy policy for details.
Is it as thorough as paid tools?
It catches many common grammar, spelling and punctuation issues, but it may not match the depth of premium commercial checkers. It's a strong free option for everyday proofreading.
