You can also run your own local instance for the in-browser checking, which is handy for me as I need to be careful about sending text off to another company in another country (due to both client security requirements and personal paranoia!).

You don't get the AI based extras like paraphrasing, and the other bits listed in as premium only (https://languagetool.org/premium_new), but if you install the n-gram DB for your language (https://languagetool.org/download/ngram-data/) I found it at least as good as, for some examples better than, Grammarly's free offering last time I did a comparison.

I've downloaded 'ngrams-en-20150817'. Please drop link that can teach me how to apply ngrams file.

Thanks.


I dropped the wrong link in the original post. The instructions for use are at https://dev.languagetool.org/finding-errors-using-n-gram-dat...
