European spelling and grammar checkers

A spelling and grammar checker reads your text and points out mistakes: typos, agreement errors, punctuation, awkward constructions and sometimes tone. Some run inside a word processor, others as a browser extension or a web editor where you paste a draft. For people writing in a second language, the rewrite suggestions are often more useful than the error flags themselves.

A checker that runs in the cloud sees every sentence you write, including the ones in a contract or a resignation letter. DeepL is developed in Germany, which means submitted text is processed under EU data protection law. When picking a European alternative to a US writing assistant, look at whether the browser extension uploads text continuously or only when you ask it to.
