• Emacs usage In case you are using Spacemacs and want to add proofreading to your emails and documents, inside =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= add the following code:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp (languagetool :variables langtool-http-server-host "localhost" langtool-http-server-port 9422) #+end_src

Change the =langtool-http-server-host= accordingly to where you are running the tool. This should be enough to enable the =langtool-check-buffer= command on Org Mode, Latex Mode, on Emails and everywhere else.

• Using on Firefox There is a plugin available [[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/languagetool/?utm_source=external-lt-homepage][here⁠]] which can be used to integrate this tool with Firefox, but with the default configuration it uses the cloud servers and not the local instance. Please change this configuration for better privacy.

• Start the server locally

#+begin_src bash :results output verbatim :exports both docker stop languagetool && docker rm languagetool docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --name languagetool -p 9422:9422 strm/languagetool #+end_src

#+RESULTS: : c73788b324bd6f871d4c5586e8b8745670a53456166faaa3ed817c0923d2131c
