No matter where you are in your Russian language studies, a Russian grammar checker is a must. A good one can ensure that you have your cases<\/a> on point, your Russian verbs properly conjugated<\/a>\u00a0and that you’ve dotted your\u00a0\u0451’s and crossed your\u00a0\u0444’s<\/a>. Also, even if you thoroughly know the words you’re using, the longer the words are, the more opportunity there is for typos to make an appearance.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, they work as a learning tool, letting you know what you’re doing wrong so you can learn and improve from the experience. Check out our recommended Russian grammar tools below.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. RussianCorrector<\/a>\"russiancorrector\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

RussianCorrector.com will check your work for an array of issues, including basic grammatical errors, stylistic mistakes and spelling issues.<\/p>\n

Once the program has done its work, it highlights the problems in a color-coded way.<\/strong> Spacing errors appear in purple, spelling errors appear in pink and other errors (including grammar) appear in yellow.<\/p>\n

If you hover over the highlighted areas, a bubble will appear to clarify the type of error and the rules governing the error. It will also suggest a specific correction. However, since these descriptions and suggestions are entirely in Russian, you need a decent command of the Russian language and\/or the patience to run descriptions through a separate translator to use this program.<\/p>\n

2. LanguageTool<\/a>\"languagetool\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

The LanguageTool interface is much like that of RussianCorrector.com.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve inputted your text, LanguageTool will highlight key issues (including spelling and grammar), explain the problem and offer suggested revisions on the right hand side of the box.<\/p>\n

Similar to RussianCorrector, the error descriptions are entirely in Russian. Because these descriptions can’t be copied and pasted into a translator, this grammar checker is best for intermediate and advanced students.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One unique feature of LanguageTool, though, is that you don’t have to use it exclusively through the website. You can install it as an add-on to your browser of choice or as a text editor for your Apple or Windows device.<\/p>\n

3. SpellBoy<\/a>\"spellboy\"<\/h2>\n

SpellBoy detects and highlights stylistic, spelling and grammatical errors. It doesn’t catch everything, though. For instance, it may miss some case errors, but other programs sometimes do the same, so always be on your guard.<\/p>\n

Again, explanations of errors are given in Russian. Luckily, you can easily copy and paste them into an online Russian translator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While it’s not too different from the other programs we’ve listed so far in terms of features, it has a unique interface.<\/strong> The text box looks like notebook paper, making it easier to keep track of individual lines of text. If you’re used to referring to your handy dandy notebook, this format could be useful.<\/p>\n

4. Microsoft Word<\/a>\"microsoft-word\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

This may be an oldie, but it’s also a goodie. There’s a reason this program still exists today, despite having been developed way back in 1983<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’re a word processing warrior, chances are you’re more than a little familiar with Word’s spelling and grammar checker. You can easily change Word’s language settings to Russian by following this guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like the others, Microsoft Word uses a color-coded system to underscore spelling and grammatical errors. If you click on the specific error, you’ll see a box on the right hand side of your screen explaining the error, suggestions and an option to correct or ignore the error.<\/p>\n

5. TextGears<\/a>\"textgears\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

TextGears claims to be “the most accurate” Russian grammar checker out there. While it’s always difficult to verify such claims, I did notice that when I ran the same sample text on this site and on other checkers, TextGears seems to detect more errors than the others<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Aside from grammatical errors, TextGears will also check for spelling, style, punctuation and structure. You’ll also see metrics like a readability score to see how comprehensible your text is to the average 11-year-old student.<\/p>\n

Like GrammarChecker.top, TextGears names the type of error in English and describes the specifics of the error in Russian (which you can translate using their other tool<\/a>). Unlike GrammarChecker.top, you only have the option to take the suggestion but not ignore it.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, you can only check up to 500 characters at a time on the free version. You need to upgrade to a Pro account to make the most of this site’s features.<\/p>\n
