LanguageTool is a style and grammar checker that
currently supports English, Polish, German, French, Dutch, and other languages to a different degree. It scans the words and their part-of-speech tags for occurrences of error patterns, which are defined in an XML file. More powerful error rules can be written in Java.
Release Notes: Many updates for the error detection rules for English, French, Catalan, Ukrainian, Portuguese, German, and Breton have been added. Thanks to the use of multiple threads for text checking on modern hardware, performance has been improved. The syntax of the error rules has been extended. English now has a chunker to detect singular and plural noun chunks. The standalone version now underlines errors with a red or blue line. The Java API has seen clean-ups and improved thread safety. Other small bugs have been fixed. LanguageTool requires Java 7 now.
