And then, I'm always confronted to the situation: How do I make sure that my letter has no or very few mistakes. I don't always aim for perfection, but I want to be understandable.

Hello Community,

I live in Germany, and eventhough I don't translate into German, I sometimes have to write letters for my own purpose. And then, I'm always confronted to the situation: How do I make sure that my letter has no or very few mistakes. I don't always aim for perfection, but I want to be understandable.

In French and in English, I use ANTIDOTE from DRUIDE. This is a mega-powerful corrector, that can detect all sorts of grammar mistakes and warn for potential confusions.

Is there anything similar on the german side? A software or a website?

I'll be thankful for any advice.

Hello Rolf,

Do you know if something like this is also available for LibreOffice?

Cheers,

Hans

Too bad they are so dependant to Microsoft. Mar 19, 2023

This is exactly, what I'm looking for. So schade, dass es nur für Microsoft ist. I've tried to install it on Libre Office and it doesn't work. I wrote the company to suggest that they open up a little bit.

Duden Korrektor is also available in SoftMaker Office Mar 20, 2023

You may also check this option:

SoftMaker Office_Duden Korrektor.

This office suite is not expensive at all.

Cheers,
Georgi
