I made a repo, mostly so I could easily set this up on new machines. Basically, it’s a self-hosted offline private version of Grammarly.
Go forth, and use good grammar! 🔮
Hi, this look great ! But what’s the difference with https://github.com/sonnyp/Eloquent/ ?
Looks like it is an actual LanguageTool server so it uses all the clients from them. They have tons of integrations that help a lot.
Source: using 3 languages every day while one of them I’m still shit and need this tool to not look like an idiot with no grammar
But why use many word when few do trick?
“I apologize for such a long letter - I didn’t have time to write a short one.” ― Mark Twain
That looks like a rad project with lots of thought and effort put into it. The author created a Gjs app to host LanguageTool inside which makes it much more user-friendly for people that don’t have docker.
I took a much lazier approach by using docker and not really writing any code.
Isn’t the issue with the different selfhosted variants that the official version has more language rules available?
Yeah I’m confused, isnt language tool also already open source? Nothing on the above repo explains the difference. Official language tool server can be found below
Running LanguageTool locally is a bit of a pain, with some manual steps. Plus you have to fetch some data files. You can find around a few projects like this one to make it easier to run LanguageTool.
And yes, as the poster mentioned, LanguageTool keeps some code exclusive to their paid version. There’s a bit of a tension because they ask people not to extend OSS LanguageTool with their paid features.
There’s also this interesting clone, but it seems abandoned.
It’s great that these tools exist. Thanks for sharing.
I use this which combines languagetools, libre translate and openwebui for your local AI needs
Please tell me it can spell better than grammarly. That website REALLY shows its roots.
It seems to be some kind of AI that polishes your writing style, helps change tone of the text etc.
any idea about the system requirements?
Looks like it wires 2 GB of RAM for the java process. I run it on a MacBook Air with 24 GB of RAM and I don’t notice it.
Kind of offtopic: Can we call something offline if you need a server to run it?
Sure, you could run it on your own PC and that’s it, but I don’t think that method fit well with this community

Er… maybe I am misunderstanding your post but this community is literally built around hosting your own local infrastructure.

That’s part of it, but using a dedicated server, colocated server, or VPS are also considered “self hosted” too. “self hosted” is broader than just having a server at home, and means any server, web service, etc where you maintain it yourself.
Hardware in your own house is generally referred to as a “home lab”.
Offline as in, the server software doesn’t require the internet.
Yes, you absolutely could do that. You can run it locally and access it on localhost:8010
Also, even if you have it on a server on the LAN, many people would consider LAN “offline”.
Yeah offline means off cloud at this point
You can run it on your laptop. I do.
“Server” in this case refers to client-server architecture.
That said this community is about hosting things on a computer you own which can very much be online. But this one works offline too.
