It's taking quite some time to download and issue is because of my ISP 
which has been giving pathetic download speeds last few days, part of it 
might be the unseasonal showers that we are experiencing here in Pune . 
This has been right after the Paris attacks though.

Anyways, even then, was able to see the tips and tricks section -

http://wiki.languagetool.org/tips-and-tricks

and it seems to have interesting applications, just needs a good UI 
which would help to expose the functionality that the CLI version has.
