Open Source Grammar Checker [closed]

Question

For an online project I'm working on, I am looking for a open source grammar checker. I have searched Google, with some good results (http://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/, etc), but I am wondering what all of you think about this topic.

I need this to be able to be used online, versus desktop based, but this is the only real specification I have. If it has a built-in spell checker, that would be a plus, but I can always use another project for that purpose.

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

LanguageTool should fit the bill:

Answer 3

Have you taken a look at the Xinha project? I believe that has spell check and possibly grammar check.

Answer 4

Several wysiwyg editors have support for spell checking: feckeditor, htmlarea, tinymce.

I think most of them uses aspell dictionaries.
