Emacs-langtool VS vale

Language Tool does this, I believe, but I think it's modal rather than on-the-fly.

Perhaps something like https://github.com/mhayashi1120/Emacs-langtool which you can self host. Or if you don't mind SaaS - there's grammarly integration for emacs too.

There’s already Emacs package, but it works only with offline version.

Now that I checked, looks like there’s another package, but I didn’t t try it.

https://github.com/emacs-languagetool

Check out textidote too. It's languagetool understanding \LaTeX syntax, and you can set it for flycheck-checker. Emacs-langtool coupled with langtool-ignore-fonts is also good for \LaTeX documents. You may want to configure them to disable a few rules to reduce false positives.

Didn't see it so far: LanguageTool integration in Emacs. It really helps me a lot, as I'm a making lot of language errors. LanguageTool requires Java (standalone app is a Jar file), could start is a bit long, but then it's really easy to use and for me feedback is better integrated in Emacs than for example in LibreOffice.

Vale is an OSS tool that you can use as a "prose linter" with many of these rules. You can also write your own rules. Together with a spellchecker its a good replacement for proprietary tools like grammarly.

> Write in US English with US grammar. (Tested in British.yml.)

heh, that was funny but it turns out the file is a list of British words checked using Vale, which I just learned existed: https://github.com/errata-ai/vale#readme (MIT)

Also, another TIL is that the "e" version of gray is British https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/.vale... I had previously erroneously assumed they were just one of those quirks of English (which, I guess is still true but it is less random than I thought)

Off the top of my head, Vale and Acrolinx.

I have recently thought of feeding the suggestions from Vale (https://vale.sh/) into an LLM along with your writing. Currently I just simply ask an LLM to take what I wrote and put it into a more "active voice". I then manually edit my writing to make it more "active" if I choose -- I do not just publish LLM generated content unaltered.

Note: I did not ask an LLM for this comment.
