A '''grammar checker''', in [[computing]] terms, is a [[Computer program|program]], or part of a program, that attempts to verify written text for [[grammatical correctness]]. Grammar checkers are most often implemented as a feature of a larger program, such as a [[word processor]], but are also available as a stand-alone [[application software|application]] that can be activated from within programs that work with editable text.
