GECko+ is an English language assisting tool that corrects mistakes of various types on written texts. While many well-settled pieces of software of its kind correct mistakes at the grammatical level (orthography and syntax), our novel pipeline allows the tool to perform corrections both at grammatical and at discourse level.

It is based on two state-of-the-art models for grammar error correction and sentence ordering. GECko+ is available online as a web application that implements a pipeline combining the two models.",
