I’ve been using LanguageTool to check my spelling (and to a lesser degree, grammar) here on my blog and it’s been fine, other than being kind of obsessed with commas. I recently came across Harper, which is an entirely offline, private grammar checker and started trying it out today.
My impressions so far:
- No obsession with commas
- It seems a tad more basic, but covers the essentials
- UI is functional, but could be a little nicer
- It really is fast
- No AI!
- It is distributed by Automattic, so if you have issues with the creator of WordPress, you may want to stay clear
I’m going to stick with it for a while, but if this sounds interesting to you, it’s available as an extension for Firefox and other browsers. Learn more about it here.
