grammar checkers

Sentence error detectors

Grammar checkers are software tools that scan text for errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style.

They range from basic spell-checkers built into word processors to sophisticated applications that analyze sentence structure and suggest rewrites: The grammar checker flagged my passive voice.

Most operate by comparing text against rules or statistical models of correct usage, though they often miss context-dependent errors or flag acceptable constructions as mistakes.
