Language Tool

About Language Tool

**LanguageTool** is an AI-powered grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style checker that supports over 30 languages—making it the most multilingual writing assistant available. Unlike English-only tools like Grammarly, LanguageTool excels at checking German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, and many more languages with dialect awareness (distinguishing US vs. UK English, for example). Beyond basic error detection, it offers style suggestions, casing corrections, and an AI-powered paraphrasing tool that can rewrite sentences to be more formal, concise, or fluent. Trusted by 2,000+ organizations including BMW, Spiegel Magazine, JetBrains, and the European Union. **Category:** Writing Assistant / Grammar Checker / Proofreading Tools **Webstudio Integration:** LanguageTool doesn't integrate directly with Webstudio's editor, but it works alongside your workflow in two ways. **Method 1 (Browser Extension):** Install the LanguageTool extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, or Opera—it will automatically check text as you type in any web field, including Webstudio's text inputs and code editors. **Method 2 (Editor):** Draft and proofread your website copy in LanguageTool's dedicated web editor (languagetool.org/editor), then paste the polished text into Webstudio. The browser extension is particularly useful for checking content in CMS fields and ensuring error-free copy across your site. **Strengths:** Unmatched multilingual support with 30+ languages and dialect variations, completely functional free tier that catches most common errors, privacy-focused design (text isn't stored by the browser extension), available everywhere—browser extensions, desktop apps (Windows/macOS), mobile apps (iOS), and plugins for Google Docs, Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, Gmail, Outlook, and Thunderbird. The AI paraphrasing tool helps rephrase awkward sentences. Open source at its core with source code available on GitHub. Significantly more affordable than Grammarly Premium. "Picky Mode" enables extra-strict checking for professional documents. **Weaknesses:** Advanced grammar checks, style suggestions, and longer text limits (100,000 vs 10,000 characters) require Premium subscription. No plagiarism checker included. Some users find it less robust than Grammarly for complex English style suggestions. The free tier limits paraphrasing to 3 sentences per day. Processing can slow down on very long documents. **Pricing:** Free tier includes basic grammar/spelling checks, 10,000 character limit, and 3 AI rephrases per day. Premium starts at \~$4.99/month (billed annually at $59.90/year) for individuals—includes 100,000 character limit, advanced style checks, unlimited paraphrasing, personal style guide, and Word/Google Docs add-ins. Team plans start at $9.48/month for 2 users. Student and non-profit discounts available.
