#52The premium version has a semi-hidden AI suggestion feature. If you double click a word it will select the whole sentence and suggest rewrites that are more formal or shorter. I've found the AI feature great for inspiration.
We, at textcortex also added this AI paraphrasing feature for free. You can add it to your browser as chrome plugin

#53So this is open-source, but if I want all the features (say, in the Mac app) I would need to pay for Premium? What if I run this on my own server — would I then have access to all features?
Re: Language Tool – Open-source Grammarly alternative
#54No Android or Linux app. Subscription is high (like others have said). Appears no offline version (might be wrong) and the text is stored on their servers be default unless you manually delete it. I'll not be using it but good effort though.
No subscription is required for the base version no account, either. Of course, the base version doesn't have all the features as premium, but it is still excellent, in my opinion. I have used the free version for years. There is an offline version, as it is open source. The full text isn't stored on the servers, but you can always just deploy it yourself for maximum privacy: https://dev.languagetool.org/http-server…
Is the text sent to the servers? That’s effectively the same thing.

#55https://quillbot.com/grammar-check is an alternative for English. Not open source, but very little of the grammar checker is paywalled if the other options seem expensive. (Disclaimer I’m a founder)
On my end Language Tool appears as 2/3th the price of your tool if I select a yearly subscription.
That’s true, but the free tier covers almost everything in our grammar checker, most of the premium features are on the paraphraser

Hmm.. maybe early days for English. If it's purely rule based, it probably be enough to catch issues like this broken fragment.
Re: Language Tool – Open-source Grammarly alternative
#57This really caught my interest. I set up the docker on my Unraid instance and as far as I can tell you can't set the iOS app or chrome add on to use the local instance. Kind of a shame... I wanted something to get up and running quickly.. might setup a Streamdeck to push my clipboard to the api, but can't see a way for my phone / tablet to use it easily, or my wife.

#58This is great. Great to see the EU funding FLOSS projects such as this one.
Re: Language Tool – Open-source Grammarly alternative
#59I prefer the Australian startup called OutWrite. They work remarkably well, in contrast to Grammarly. Language Tools was a pain when I tried setting it up (their payment processor was causing issues with the two factor authentication) and their support was lame. Makes no sense to get teary eyed about "open-source". Hosting such tools isn't an option for most users to whom this is marketed.

#60Has anyone tried using this or similar tools in conjunction with voice to text software?
