LanguageToolR provides a wrapper for the LanguageTool CLI tool for spelling, grammar and language checking.
❗ We're not part of the LanguageTool team. This is an unofficial interface.
We only tested with LanguageTool v6.5, but it will work as well with other versions, if more obscure command line options are avoided.
