Your proofreading assistant
Eloquent is a proofreading software for English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, and more than 20 other languages. It finds many errors that a simple spell checker cannot detect.
It works fully offline, powered by LanguageTool standalone server.
Eloquent is also able to run as a service in the background to make your local/offline LanguageTool server available to Firefox, LibreOffice and more. Change the settings to use local LanguageTool, here is an example for the Firefox addon
