LanguageTool is a free and open-source grammar, style, and spell checker, and all its features are available for download.[3] LanguageTool website connects to a proprietary sister project LanguageTool Plus, which provides improveded$3 error detection for English and German, as well as easier revisionion$3 of longer texts, following the open-core model.

It was started by Daniel Naberer$3 for his diploma thesis[4] in 2003 (then written in Python). It now supports 31 languages, each developeded$3 by volunteer maintainersers$3, usually nativeive$3 speakersers$3 of each language.[5] Baseded$3 on error detection patterns, rules are createded$3 and then tested for a given text.

The core app itself is free and open-source, and can be downloadeded$3 for offline use. Some languages use 'n-gram' data,[6] which is massive and requires considerable processing power and I/O speed, for some extra detections. As such, LanguageTool is also offereded$3 as a web service that does the processing of 'n-grams' data on the server side. LanguageTool Plus also uses n-grams as part of its freemium business model.

LanguageTool web service can be used via a web interface in a web browser, or via a specializeded$3 client-side plug–ins for Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice, Vim, Emacs, Firefox, Thunderbird, and Google Chrome. Its web app client can also be integrateded$3 on websites.[7]
