=VERVE("grammarcheck", "The the pig snorted when I saw it on the barn gate. I was a little mad becuase it woke up my pupppppy")

Proofread text by the row. =VERVE("grammarcheck", A2) returns the corrected text and an error count down a column — Google Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 10 credits per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

A real example — the input you type, and the values you can pull from it. Click any cell to see the formula behind it.

Clean a column of text

Fill =VERVE("grammarcheck", "This is a sample text with a grammatical error.") beside messy text and get the normalized, analyzed, or translated version back — data cleaning without leaving the grid.

Analyze at scale

Score or classify a whole column of responses, reviews, or messages in one fill instead of one-by-one.

Compose with other formulas

Nest Check Grammar's output inside your existing SUM, IF, or CONCAT logic like any other cell value.

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("grammarcheck", "The the pig snorted when I saw it on the barn gate. I was a little mad becuase it woke up my pupppppy")
Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("grammarcheck", "The the pig snorted when I saw it on the barn gate. I was a little mad becuase it woke up my pupppppy")

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans

Check Grammar, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Check Grammar into a spreadsheet?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("grammarcheck", "This is a sample text with a grammatical error.") into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.
How many credits does each Check Grammar cell cost?
Each resolved cell costs 10 credits. Filling a column of ten rows costs ten times that; a cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a static sheet doesn't keep charging.
Can I fill a whole column at once?
Yes. Reference a range instead of a single cell — e.g. point Check Grammar at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("grammarcheck", "This is a sample text with a grammatical error.") down like any spreadsheet function.
Does Check Grammar work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?
Yes. It's the same =VERVE() function with the same arguments and the same key in both — build a sheet in one and it behaves identically in the other.
How current is the data?
Check Grammar is served live from APIVerve's production data engine, and cells recalculate on the refresh cadence you choose — every open, hourly, or every 30 minutes.
Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?
VerveSheets runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; Check Grammar is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.

Put Check Grammar in your next spreadsheet. Add the extension, paste the formula, and the cell keeps itself current.
