LanguageTool
Style and Grammar Checker
Follow us on twitter
LanguageTool is an Open Source style and grammar proofreading software for English, French, German, Polish,
Dutch, Romanian, and a lot of 
other languages.
You can think of LanguageTool as a software to detect errors that a simple spell checker cannot detect, e.g. mixing
up there/their, no/now etc. It can also detect some grammar mistakes. It does not include spell checking.
LanguageTool will find errors for which a rule is defined in its language-specific configuration files. Rules for detecting more complicated errors can be written in Java.
