By LanguageTooler GmbH (owned by Learneo, USA) · languagetool.org
3,5 Good
Grammar and writing assistant with German roots that corrects and rewrites emails in the right tone, directly in the browser, Word and Thunderbird. The company has been owned since 2023 by American Learneo, which acts as data controller, so we classify it as outside the EU.
Best for: Those who mainly want to proofread and rephrase their emails in Swedish rather than generate them from scratch.
Pros
- Self-hostable open core for those who want to keep text completely local
- Corrects and rephrases text in Swedish and 30+ languages
- Available everywhere: browser, Word, Google Docs, Thunderbird
Cons
- Owned by American Learneo and data may be transferred to the USA (DPF/SCC), hence sovereignty outside the EU
- Full support (grammar + style) is weaker for Swedish than for English/German
- Corrects and rephrases text, but does not write whole emails as well as a chat AI
