Five languages, five engines

Each language has its own rules, written for the mistakes people actually make in it. A text is never checked with another language's rules.

English

Subject-verb agreement, compound tenses, false friends, verb-governed prepositions, uncountable nouns ("informations", "advices").

French

Hard agreements, past participle with a fronted object, pronominal verbs, tense sequence, subjunctive, homophones, typography and text-message shorthand.

Spanish

Accents that change meaning, dequeísmo and queísmo, long-distance agreement, the opening marks ¿ and ¡.

Italian (beta)

Grave accent written for the acute, the missing h of avere, elisions, subjunctive.

Portuguese (beta)

The final nasal your keyboard drops (informação), impersonal haver and fazer, crasis in fixed phrases.

Automatic detection

In Auto mode, Korr recognises the language of the text. If a text mixes two languages, it asks which one to check instead of guessing.

Why no account is needed

An account usually ties your text to a server. Korr has none: the engines ship with the page, the extension or the app, and correct on your device, so there is nothing to tie your text to. The details are in How Korr works offline.

What measured accuracy says, language by language

French, English and Spanish are measured on published corpora in which half the sentences are already correct. Italian and Portuguese have their test suites but no published measurement yet, which is why they are in beta. See the numbers and the method.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free multilingual grammar checker with no account?

Yes. Korr checks five languages (French, English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese) with no account, no subscription and no character limit, and correction happens on your device.

Which keyboard shortcut do I use?

Alt+Shift+C with the Chrome or Edge extension, in any text field. Ctrl+Alt+C with the Windows app, in any program.

Does the Windows app check all five languages?

No: the Windows app checks French and English. All five languages are available on the website and in the browser extension.

Do I have to pick the language?

No. In Auto mode, Korr recognises the language. You can also pick it yourself, which helps for a very short text or one that mixes two languages.

Why are Italian and Portuguese in beta?

Because their accuracy has not yet been measured on published corpora, as French, English and Spanish have. Their rules follow the same principle: when a correction is uncertain, Korr changes nothing.
