Curiosity: why Grammarly and not LanguageTool?
For me: English isn't my native language and LanguageTool have all languages I need.
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoGrammarly has a much bigger advertising budget - relatively few people heard about LanguageTool.
- scim-knox-twox 5y agoDepends on where you live…
- watwut 5y agoI get grammerly ads on youtube constantly.
- scim-knox-twox 5y agoAnd I never get any Grammarly ads. Again, depends on where you live…
- 2Gkashmiri 5y agoi do not use grammarly. been using languagetool in my libreoffice/kde neon but someday it works, someday it does not work. other than that, when it works it just works as advertised.
- scim-knox-twox 5y agoI never had any problems.
- alex23478 5y agoHaving used both, I find Grammarly much better for English texts. It has things like tone analysis, and in general has more in depth checks than LanguageTool. LanguageTool, on the other hand, supports more languages and is cheaper than Grammarly. It isn't bad for English texts, and will definitely help you with your writing, but not as much as Grammarly. It really depends on your needs. I use LanguageTool for my everyday needs, but when I'm writing a blog article, I make sure to run it through Grammarly.
- isneu 5y agoHi scim-knox-twox! Dope name! I used Grammarly because it's the tool I use. I just discovered Language Tool from your comment. I see similarities between the two apps. mmhm, how's LT for your needs?
- scim-knox-twox 5y agoHey, thanks! I'm using LT since last year and for me everything works like it should :) It's open source (I generally don't like Big-Tech), and I'm probably gonna get Premium soon. And big plus for me: more than 30 supported languages. I'm even using LT right now for this comment ;)
- isneu 5y agoThat's amazing! I wish you all the very best ahead! :)
