LanguageTool: Grammar and Spell Checker in Python
A gentle introduction of how you can check your Grammar and Spelling in Python
LanguageTool
LanguageTool is an open-source grammar tool, also known as the spellchecker for OpenOffice. This library allows you to detect grammar errors and spelling mistakes through a Python script or through a command-line interface. We will work with the language_tool_pyton python package which can be installed with the pip install language-tool-python command. By default, language_tool_python will download a LanguageTool server .jar and run that in the background to detect grammar errors locally.
