# Eloquent
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](https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/tree/master/languagetool-standalone).
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](https://dev.languagetool.org/software-that-supports-languagetool-as-a-plug-in-or-add-on). Change the settings to use local LanguageTool, here is an example for the Firefox addon
