Can Google Cloud Natural Language API be used for spell check and grammar check? Could it be a good alternative to LanguageTool.org? If it is possible, how can it be done?

As @AngusTay explained in his answer, Google Cloud Natural Language API can perform syntax analysis to identify how a sentence is structured and classify its components, among other features, however it does not provide a grammar and spelling check.

Follow this link to understand what can be done using the Natural Language API. Basically, the API includes:

  • Sentiment analysis to identify the emotional opinion within the text.
  • Entity analysis to provide information about different entities present in the sentence.
  • Entity sentiment analysis to identify emotional opinions about the entities present in the sentence.
  • Syntactic analysis to extract linguistic information from all the words and tokens in a sentence.
  • Content classification to identify the words and classify them according to different categories.

Unfortunately, Google Cloud NL does not provide spell check and grammar check. It does analysis on the sentences, giving info with the machine learning algorithm

  • prediction: sentiment analysis
  • sentence structure: Syntax analysis
  • Entity info: Entities analysis

So it doesn't do the same thing as language tool (which checks spelling and grammar).
