Is there a grammar checking tool for Ubuntu (not only for LibreOffice)?












4















I know this, let's assume to be a duplicate question and an answer was already posted here, but my question is entirely different.



I want to know if there is a grammar (not only spell) checking tool (for English) available to be installed on Ubuntu, so that its use is not limited to only LibreOffice, but also can be used for Skype (or other messaging apps), documents (LibreOffice, WPS Office, Geany), notes, memos, everything.



I would be thankful to everyone who tries to answer - or corrects me, or lets me know if this question doesn't make sense.

          You may want to check out the LanguageTool project. You can download and install the LanguageTool Desktop version for offline use, which lets you check for grammar and spelling errors on the desktop.

          After download of the LanguageTool file - unzip the file and start languagetool.jar by double-clicking it.

          • Thanks, @cl-netbox, cant this installed in the system so that we can work on whatever app (Geany, WPS writer, skype) and it gets checked for the grammar (same as Grammarly does in a browser)?

          • @KumarA. : As far as I do understand it, the grammar checking functionality of the desktop version should work for (nearly) all applications by starting the languagetool.jar file (if Java 8+ is installed) - just try it out. :)

          • unfortunately not, I have kept this jar file started and expecting this to work on Geany, but no luck. I alternatively need to write inside the console, check for grammar and then copy it to wherever I need. This is a time taking process :(
