Description
LanguageTool is an open-source proofreading tool for English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and many other languages. It detects grammar, style, and spelling errors that a simple spell checker cannot find, such as subject-verb agreement problems, incorrect articles, and commonly confused words.
Both command-line and GUI checkers are included, as well as an embedded HTTP server to expose the LanguageTool API locally. The server allows clients such as Emacs (via flymake-languagetool or langtool.el), Neovim, and browser extensions to request proofreading without sending text to third-party services.

Message after installing
LanguageTool has been installed. Command-line checker: languagetool [options] <file> To run the LanguageTool HTTP server: sysrc languagetool_enable="YES" service languagetool start By default, the server listens on http://localhost:8081 and runs as user "languagetool". See /usr/local/etc/rc.d/languagetool for all tunables (port, user, JVM options, extra server arguments). Server configuration lives in: /usr/local/etc/languagetool/server.properties The server's Java heap is capped at 512 MB by default; raise it with, e.g., languagetool_java_opts="-Xmx1g" for heavy use. Optional n-gram data sets (several GB, see the sample configuration file) improve detection of commonly confused words.
