It gives you the possibility to check the correction of the texts inserted into posts, pages and drafts in less than a second!

Press the “Analyze” button and you will have a list of all found errors.
The plugin allows to recognize different types of text errors (thanks to Languagetool.org). Here some examples of error types:
* Typos
* Punctuation

For every language, in the settings page, you can customize which are the error categories you are interesting, hiding the others.

Very useful

I think it is very useful inside Wordpress world. All site must have it to avoid common text errors. It does not take up much space in the backend Wordpress console so it can always be left activated. P.S: I'm the autor of the plugin.
