What is Grammar & Spell Checker?

Grammar checker online to get instant grammar, spelling, and style corrections - completely free and without requiring an account.

Unlike Grammarly which requires installing a browser extension, creating an account, and giving it access to everything you type, this tool needs no extension and no account: you paste the text you want checked, that text is sent to LanguageTool to be analysed, and the corrections come back. Nothing else you type is read. Use it to proofread an essay, fix grammar in an email, check spelling without signing up, or correct writing in multiple languages. Errors are highlighted inline with colored underlines: red for spelling, blue for grammar, yellow for style. Click any error to see suggestions and apply fixes with one click. View readability scores and an overall quality score to gauge your writing. Supports English (US and UK), German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Italian, Russian, Polish, and more. No signup, no extension, no subscription required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a free Grammarly alternative?

Yes. This tool checks grammar, spelling, and style at no cost. Unlike Grammarly, you do not need to install a browser extension, create an account, or pay for a subscription. Just paste your text and click check.

What languages are supported?

English (US and UK), German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Italian, Russian, Polish, and more. The tool automatically detects the language of your text.

Is my text stored?

Your text is sent to LanguageTool, the service that runs the checks, and the corrections are sent back. It passes through ToolBox in memory only and is not stored on ToolBox's servers. Unlike most tools here, this one cannot run on your own machine, so treat it the way you would treat any hosted grammar checker.

What types of errors does it detect?

The tool detects three categories of issues: spelling errors (highlighted in red), grammar errors (highlighted in blue), and style suggestions (highlighted in yellow). Style suggestions include things like passive voice, wordiness, and commonly confused words.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There is no signup, no login, and no account required. Paste your text and click check. Many grammar checkers force you to create an account before you can use them - ToolBox does not.

How does this compare to Grammarly?

Grammarly requires a browser extension that reads everything you type across all websites. This tool is simpler - you paste text, get corrections, and leave. Only the text you paste here is sent anywhere, and it goes to LanguageTool to be checked. There is no extension, no persistent monitoring across websites, and no subscription fees.

Does it show readability scores?

Yes. After checking your text, the tool displays readability metrics and an overall quality score. This helps you gauge whether your writing is clear and appropriate for your target audience.

Is there a word limit?

There is no hard word limit imposed by the tool. You can paste long passages and check them in one pass, which is useful for essays and articles.

Can I proofread an essay or email here?

Yes. Paste the full essay or email body, run the check, and apply the spelling, grammar, and style fixes before you submit or send it.

Can I fix all errors at once?

Yes. Click 'Fix All' to apply every suggested correction in one step. You can also click individual errors to review and apply them one at a time if you prefer to keep certain stylistic choices.
