Grammar Checker

Is anyone aware of a grammar checker solution for using within Indesign? Any plug in or value-added programs available???
What does everyone else do about checking grammar?

Hello,
I realize this is an old post, but our company has recently released an English grammar checker for InDesign. So I will add information for anyone searching the forums for a grammar checker. These are the InDesign grammar checkers that I am currently aware of.

Also search/ask in the forums run by the people who make that app. Word does not use any Apple spelling or grammar stuff.

Disable autocorrect and spelling/grammar check features with Computer GPO

We have two classrooms that need to have all the autocorrect and spelling and grammar check disabled. I know there is a way to do it by a user GPO, but is it possible to do it by computer (with a registry change, etc)? We can't do it by user
because outside of the class the students will need these autocorrect options for typing papers and such. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry that it's been a while since I posted on this topic, but I am just now having to revisit this issue. I tried just pushing out the registry entries though a GPO, but I have been told it is not working. I tried creating a Startup script
option, as in this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2007/08/14/deploying-custom-registry-changes-through-group-policy.aspx
But it will not run. The script itself works, as I have tested it manually. I will include the body of the registry settings below. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Grammar Check is Overzealous About Gender

I am a writer by profession and dumped Word for Pages at the beginning of this year. I'm a happy user, but certain grammar suggestions are just annoying. Marking the word 'husband' or 'wife' as being too gender specific, in a context where it's necessary to be specific is one pet peeve. It would be nice if one could permanently ignore certain suggestions, or just disable certain parts of the grammar check.

You have to tell Apple. We who respond here are only end users like you and can't change a thing.

"is not enough memory or disk space to run the grammar checker"

I have tried all the suggestions in this link "http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/22621-office-2010-spell-checker-not-working"
but it still gives me there error that "there is not enough memory or diskspace to run the grammar checker". Does not work in safe mode either nor do so I have the repair option from control panel.
I also renamed normal.dotm, and used ccleaner to clear all temp files..... Didn't work. Any ideas?

Hi,
If you are using 64-bit Office, make sure you also use 64-bit bit Proofing Tools. Refer to this thread below and probably it may be the cause in your scenario:

Somehow the Spelling/grammar check in Microsoft Word switched to French. How do I switch it back?

In the Word menu bar, click Tools and select Language. Make your changes there:

No grammar check?

I like pages and find it has yet to crash - something Word for Mac does all the time when I'm using it. However, I'm really frustrated by the spell check (seems very limited and doesn't pick up as many mistakes as Word in my view) and the fact there is no grammar check option.
At the moment, I am exporting my documents as a Word file, simply to do a grammar and spell check (as this tool is far superior in Word) and then opening it back up in Pages and saving it as a Pages file again. Does anybody know of any plan to improve this or a faster work around? Seems quite a basic thing to me!
Also, why are pages preferences so limited?
Silly question I know - but it's been bugging me!

Hi Ant-
There's simply no grammar check. I'm not sure how you think the Word spell checker is better, but if you think it is... fine.
With Pages I have grown accustomed to being a slightly more careful typist (such as NOt DOing TWo INitial caps, or capitalizing the beginnings of sentences). Word fixes these things with auto correct, but at the cost of making me use an extremely crashy Microsoft application.
Word's grammar may help for some things, but cannot be relied on. This article describes some problems with Word's grammar checker:

Change language for Grammar Check

Hi folks,
How do I change the language for the grammar check? Manchmal schreibe ich auf Deutsch ou en Français and in these cases I would really appreciate the grammar checking.
MS Word (on Windows anyway) will even detect the language being written after about three words or so and switch. Can I get this on the Mac (the behavior, not MS Word)?
Thanks!
Regards / mit Freundlichen Grüßen / Cordialement,
Eric

Hi Tom,
thanks for your reply. I suppose I can use Word & Entourage for mail & that will give me the builtin grammar checking à là windows. I was hoping for a more indigenous solution but this will do fine.
Of course, I could always endeavor to improve my German and French grammar, but that's another story!!!
Kind regards,
Eric

Tip/Suggestion for Grammar Check

Hmm this will be similar to my Tip/Suggestion referring to Dashboard's Dictionary.
I've noticed that the Spelling/Grammar Check doesn't seem to catch those most simplest errors in my Grammar.
My Tip/Suggestion....Hire an Assistant and have that life saving Assistant to Proofread everything. There isn't anything in OSX 10.8.4 that seems to point out what I need to correct. As a Writer, no egg on my face should exist. There are those quirks that slip through the Checking Process.
Oh you have noticed that to....
Yes, this is silly but so important when one is a writer and seeking a position as a Lecturer at an Up-Scale University, (Community College of Course is nice too). Yes, please, this humbles me again.
Now, can you find the Grammar flail that I put in this statement that the Grammar check over looked....Hint: I bet you "to" have made this simple Grammar Error.

Hi,
I post mainly in the iChat Community and in Lion and Mountain Lion in threads that use the Messages (app) filter.
As this thread fits that profile I "popsted".
Having read it I commented and of course added my regular Sig pic and block.
The line is question refers to people posting Communication Error Logs from iChat and or Messages.
An example split up and with comments (but no Binary Images) You can scroll through this just to get an idea.
At this point the Binary Images tell us nothing.
It is part of the text I keep in TextExapnder that is added to the Post when I add my Sig.
One more thing.
My name is on each my posts and can be Copied and Pasted if you are not sure on spelling.
I know I should be over this sort of irritation by now but I am not.

Spell + Grammar check a foreign language properly.

The method provided in Help is useless. I tested it in French; it's a joke. Someone finally gave me the right way.
Log out (know your password first, so you can log in and out). Then go to the Black apple in the left upper corner and choose System Peferences>International>whichever foreign language you need to write in and move that to the top of the list. Then create your new document in the usual manner and spell + grammar check in the usual manner. File your document away in your Document folder.
Log out of there, log back into your English language environment and you're done. It's a little heavy-handed workflow-wise, but at least it works.
If you know of and/or have been successfully using an easier method, please let me know.
So far as I know, MS Word beats Apple by a mile in this particular respect.
I mentioned it to the Apple team just in case they feel compelled to help. Let's hope they do. Soon.

Logging out and back in certainly isn't necessary.
Changing your primary language is required if you want to change the default language used when creating new documents from the built-in templates.
While the Help instructions are somewhat misleading, they are correct for some situations.
Remember that Pages treats language as a style property, such as underline. So the techniques
you'd use to get underlined text generally apply to changing the language:
1) Change the language with the text inspector and start typing. Any text you type at that point will be in the specified language. (If you click in a header or a text box, or even elsewhere in existing text and start typing, that will still have the default language.)
2) Select a range of already typed text, and change its language.
3) Create a new character or paragraph style with your desired language as its only property. Use that anytime you want this particular language.
4) Change the definition of all the character and paragraph styles to have your desired language, and save as a custom template. This is most useful for people that want their interface in one language but type all of their text in another.
As for grammar checking - I assume you're referring to Proofreading. Proofreading isn't grammar checking. It simply checks for certain basic errors, regardless of the language. It doesn't do sentence analysis. I think it works as well in French as it does in English: "C'est la la vie." => "Il semble que le mot « la » soit utilisé deux foisde suite. Supprimez le second mot."

Foreign Language Spelling and Grammar check

How does one spell check and grammar check languages other than English???

If it is an empty document open Inspector > T tab > More > Language, change to the language you want. Now spell checking should work
If you already have written something select all text and then do the above procedure

Spelling and grammar check not identifying problems?

I recently updated my office, and it is no longer identifying mistakes. I have tried to go to tools and setting, but when I select the spelling and grammar check it just says it is complete without fixing any errors.

Select the word, then RIGHT- or CTRL-click to see either suggestions or to look up in the Dictionary. If spell checking is turned on then a misspelled word will appear with a wavy read line below it. There is no grammar checker in OS X.

Spelling and Grammar check

Coming from entourage I am used to seeing on-going spelling and grammar check - right click and you can see the suggestions. In Mail I have set to check as I type but can't right click to correct and need to pull up the spelling and grammar box (command and ":") before sending. Any way this can be changed?
Also how do I get the URLs in emails to be underlined when typed and not only when sent?

When will Pages get a grammar checker???

I've found Apple Pages for iPad a brilliant word processor. But if it seeks to emulate MS Word. Why hasn't it got a GRAMMAR CHECKER.
When Apple listen to its customers and have a facility for a WISH LIST.

Why don't you check your own grammar?
Surely you must have some idea of how English is written.
A simple rereading of your text should pick up the obvious errors. Grammar checkers suggestions are generally either laughable or go over the heads of those who don't understand the principles.
There are no fact checkers, there are no meaning checkers and it is rather apparent that all the spell checkers in the world aren't fixing people's bad writing.
