languagetoolr's Introduction

LanguageToolR

LanguageToolR provides a wrapper for the LanguageTool CLI tool for spelling, grammar and language checking.

❗ We're not part of the LanguageTool team. This is an unofficial interface.

We only tested with LanguageTool 5.9, but it might as well work with other versions.
