Rated 5 out of 5
by Tea, 3 years agoDidn't think myself the guy to write then patiently go through every error. the interface is really great and the way it sinks into the webpage is not disruptive. I'm glad its not in your face and merely just a suggestion tool if you feel you need it. excellent and essential add on for the Firefox web experience. great work guys. one minor issue that really is just a nitpick is the lack of dark mode or alternative themes. i use light mode 80% because i feel more productive but the option would be nice for those who use dark mode.

posted 3 years agoThanks for your feedback. We support dark mode websites by using dark colors in the add-on interface automatically if used on a website with dark colors. It's independent of whether dark mode is activated.

- Rated 2 out of 5by watermaolon, 10 days agoQual é o ponto de usar uma extensão que promete ajudar na escrita, se mesmo quando ela detecta erros no texto, a extensão NÃO diz o que está errado no texto, mesmo com o contador dizendo que há erros.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19515335, 10 days agoVery good, I like it better than Grammarly 'cause it's open-source.
- Rated 5 out of 5by TJ1, 10 days agoIt is way better than what I expected. It works everywhere automatically. Now I always now how to type a word even if I am not sure if I typed it out correctly.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Sarah S, 13 days agoDoes not recognize many common words - especially names, scientific terms, and loan words from other languages. This would be fine if it happened occassionally, but it happens *constantly* and with plenty of words that aren't names or loan words.
Additionaly, almost every time it's given me a grammar recommendation, it's been wrong. There is no way to tell it that a suggestion is incorrect - the only option is to disable the rule entirely.
I thought I had gotten this spellchecker specifically because it wasn't AI (that's why I stopped using Grammarly). Another review mentioned that the AI label only appears in the extension name after you install it, so I'd guess that's what happened and it took me a while to notice.
Overall, poor quality and deceptive. - Rated 1 out of 5by Isaac, 14 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by emo_baguette, a month agoAI isn't any more capable of correctly editing your writing than a dog is. You're all kidding yourselves if you think that AI is at all useful. Learn how to write, and you won't need to rely on a broken robot spitting out garbage. Just program it with real words. Before generative AI existed, spell-checkers were fine. I don't need some intrusive machine correcting "my" to "Mt" in the middle of a sentence. Just don't download this, or Grammarly, or any of that AI crap. Proofread your own writing, the worst you can do is the best that AI can do.
