Grazie

Grazie has moved into IntelliJ Sources

New repository is https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/master/plugins/grazie

Grazie is an IntelliJ IDEA plugin providing local spell and grammar checking for Markdown, JavaDoc, Plain texts, and others.

It uses one of the leading proofreaders - LanguageTool under the hood, so it supports over 15 languages and provides the best performance and accuracy among free (and even non-free) alternatives.

What's inside

Grazie consists of two parts - grammar checker, backed by LanguageTool, and spellchecker backed by LanguageTool dictionaries and IDEA built-in spellcheck. When it is sensible, Grazie will use full checking pipeline (proofreading and spellchecking), but in some cases (e.g., in code) it will use just spellcheck.

Right now Grazie supports following natural language sources:

• Java code - string literals, javadocs and language constructs (methods names etc.)
• Kotlin code - string literals, kdoc and language constructs
• Python code - string literals (formatted and non-formatted), python docs and language constructs
• JavaScript code - string literals, docs and language constructs
• Rust code - string literals, docs and language constructs
• Latex - (via TeXiFy IDEA plugin) text, spellcheck
• Markdown - all the text (for code Grazie will use spellcheck only)
• Plaintext - all the text if extension is .txt, otherwise Grazie will use spellcheck only
• XML - all the text elements
• JSON - string literals
• Properties - string literals
• Comments - any comments in almost any code
• Commit messages - commits made via standard IDEA VCS support

As for languages, Grazie supports (including dialects):

• English (British, American, Canadian)
• Russian
• Persian
• French
• German (Germany, Austrian)
• Polish
• Italian
• Dutch
• Portuguese (Brazilian, Portugal)
• Chinese
• Greek
• Japanese
• Romanian
• Slovak
• Spanish
• Ukrainian

Moreover, Grazie supports native language based inspections. It means that if you specify your native language, Grazie will provide you with additional inspections for the language you are writing on.
