minus-squarebrucethemoose@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 months agoI’m quite satisfied with LanguageTool. It doesn’t have every esoteric variant of words, but adding a few to its dictionary over time brought it up to whatever vocabulary I know.
minus-squarePainInTheAES@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 months agoYep it’s great, does well with grammar, and it has good multi language support. At least between what I’ve tried, English and Dutch
minus-squareSkyrmir@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 months agoMost of the time for me it’s not even that the spell checker doesn’t know the word, it’s that it can’t unmangle my typing or misspelling. Teh it knows is wrong, and obviously knows ‘the’, but doesn’t even suggest it as a correction.
