Ginger is an AI grammar checker and sentence rephraser for English, working in Chrome, Edge, Word and phone keyboards; sold per user, with a free version.
Ginger reads each sentence as a whole, so it can fix a wrong word that a word-by-word spell check would pass, such as "whether" typed for "weather". Behind it is Ginger Software, Inc., founded in 2010, which aims its tools at English writing. The goal is clearer English for native speakers, for people writing it as a second language and for writers with dyslexia. Corrections land in one click, and one subscription covers the browser, the desktop and the phone. The Grammar Checker is the core, suggesting context-based fixes for spelling, grammar and phrasing across a full sentence. The Sentence Rephraser offers several rewordings of a selected sentence, with no prompt to write first. A synonyms dictionary suggests sharper word choices, the Translator turns text into other languages, and a Text Reader completes the set. Browser extensions for Chrome and Edge bring these tools into Gmail, Google Docs and social media sites. On Windows, an add-in works inside Microsoft Word, Outlook and PowerPoint, and Ginger Keyboard carries corrections and next-word prediction to iOS and Android. Students, teachers and office workers who write email and reports are the people Ginger has in mind, along with anyone writing English as a second language. Writers with dyslexia benefit because analysing a whole sentence helps it work out the meaning they intended. Individuals can start on a free version and move to Ginger Premium, a subscription paid monthly, quarterly, yearly or every two years, with a discount for verified students and teachers. Teams buy Ginger Business per user and manage members from an admin panel. Companies with high volumes license the Ginger API through sales to build correction into their own products. Most corrections happen inside the apps people already write in, though a writing pad with a Replace button is there too. A typical session is a Gmail reply cleaned up before it goes out, or a wordy paragraph in a Google Docs report rephrased into something tighter. Students run essays through it, and the synonyms dictionary replaces a word repeated across one paragraph. On a phone, Ginger Keyboard corrects messages as they are typed. Ginger suits people who want their English fixed where they already write, one sentence at a time.
