I have been looking to install spell checkers on LibreOffice but I could not find any stand alone Grammar checkers for LibreOffice.

Does anyone know any Grammar checker, like Grammarly, for Ubuntu?

There was a solution posted on Grammar checking program for LibreOffice but that required Java to be installed.

I am looking for a Grammar checker that does not need additional features installed.

  • Sorry, I didn't understand why this question is marked as duplicate? If you read the question, it is clearly a question about Ubuntu, not LibreOffice. I too need to know this but for Ubuntu (so that everything on Ubuntu including skype, documents, notes gets checked for GRAMMER and not only spelling.) – Kumar A. Jun 25 '18 at 07:22
  • @KumarA. The answers that the question asked were about LibreOffice, since the first sentence of the question post is about LibreOffice particularly. I personally agree with closing this as a duplicate. I've since edited the question title. I think there should be a new post about grammar checkers in general (like Grammarly). – Flimm Dec 28 '20 at 08:42

  • Grammar check is not perfect it tends to do better as you type. You can file a bug report if you wish – Panther Nov 04 '17 at 23:42

    I just installed lightproof using the command prompt but LibreOffice didn't distinguish between "their" and "there" and "where" and "we're" (see image: https://i.imgur.com/MQWDzaR.png)

    How do I submit a bug report?
