LanguageTool is an online grammar and spell-checking tool that helps users improve their writing by identifying errors and suggesting corrections in over 40 languages and dialects. Users input text into the LanguageTool website or use browser extensions and add-ons for various applications, such as Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice. LanguageTool then analyses the text for grammar, punctuation, style, and spelling errors, providing suggestions and corrections to improve the overall quality and clarity of the writing. LanguageTool was developed by a team of software developers led by Daniel Naber. It is available both as a free version and a premium version. Users do not need to sign up or have an account to use the basic version of LanguageTool, although doing so allows customising users' settings across different devices. Bewertung: LanguageTool is a useful tool for both teachers and students. For educators, it can be a time-saving resource for correcting learners’ texts, while it can help learners improve their writing skills by providing grammar, style and spell checking, as well as suggestions for synonyms. Students should be encouraged to use the tool proactively by noticing the mistakes detected by the tool and paying close attention to the corrections proposed. LanguageTool’s interface is intuitive and easy to use. It is, overall, a valuable tool in its free version, particularly with an account. It does not contain plagiarism detection or translation tools. Basic IT skills required.
