Why Use the Built-In Grammar Checker

No need to switch between tabs or copy-paste into a separate grammar tool. Check grammar right where you write.

Instant Analysis

The grammar panel scans your entire note in milliseconds. No waiting, no server calls — all processing happens in your browser.

Two Issue Types

Issues are split into Grammar (must fix) and Recommendations (style suggestions) so you can prioritize what matters most.

Suggestions Included

Each issue shows the problematic text, its context in your note, and a specific suggestion for how to fix it.

Re-check Any Time

Click the refresh button in the grammar panel to re-run the check after you've made edits. Dismissed issues reset on each re-check.

Works With All Notes

The grammar checker works on any note in your sidebar. Switch notes and run the check on each one independently.

Non-Destructive

Opening the grammar panel never changes your text. You choose which suggestions to act on — the panel only highlights, never edits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the grammar checker run automatically?
The grammar checker runs when you open the panel (Tools → Grammar Check) and click the refresh button. It does not run continuously in the background, so it won't slow down your typing. Run it when you're ready to review your writing.
What grammar mistakes can the checker detect?
The built-in grammar checker detects: (1) Repeated/double words — e.g. "the the", "is is". (2) Missing capital letters after sentence-ending punctuation. (3) Double spaces between words. (4) Passive voice constructions — e.g. "was written", "is being done". (5) Weak and vague words — "very", "really", "basically", "literally", "actually", "maybe", "quite", "just".
Is the grammar checker completely free?
Yes. The grammar checker is a built-in feature of Notepad Online Pro and is 100% free. No subscription, no trial period, no credit card. All grammar and recommendation checks are included at no cost.
Does it check spelling too?
Spell checking is handled by your browser's native spell checker (enabled by default in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge). The built-in grammar panel in Notepad Online Pro focuses on grammar patterns and writing style — double words, passive voice, weak words, and capitalization — beyond what browser spell check covers.
How do I open the grammar checker panel?
Click the Tools menu in the menu bar, then click Grammar Check. The grammar panel opens on the right side of the editor. Click Tools → Hide Grammar Panel (or the same button) to close it. The panel does not affect your note content.
Can I ignore grammar suggestions I disagree with?
Yes. Each issue in the grammar panel has a × dismiss button. Click it to remove that suggestion from the list without changing your text. The issue will not reappear until you run the grammar check again.
What is the difference between Grammar and Recommendations?
Grammar issues (shown with a red icon) are likely errors — double words, missing capitals, extra spaces. Recommendations (shown with a yellow icon) are style suggestions — passive voice and weak words. You can filter by category using the tabs at the top of the grammar panel.
Does the grammar checker work on long documents?
Yes. The grammar checker runs on the full text content of your note, regardless of length. For very long notes, click the refresh button in the grammar panel to re-run the check after making edits.
