by spootboot2, 8 months agoI am just so sick of not having any spell check/grammar check software catch anything, even if it is behind a paywall like this one. Originally, I was just relying on the spell check on MS Word to catch things on my graduate papers before submitting them, but it that was useless. So I added a different extension add-on for Word and used both to no avail. They still missed stuff. So I downloaded the Language Tool extension and realized that it would catch more advanced mistakes if you paid for it... I am in the process of working on my Master's capstone, so I need all the help I can get. I pay for it and add it to MS Word. Tell me why all three of those spell checks don't catch when there is a duplicate word?? Or a missing period at the end of a sentence?? Or even when there is a jumble of words together that don't make sense like, 'before the in study was performed...". What is the point of me paying for the advanced version of LT if it still will not catch even the simplest mistakes? Maybe I am expecting too much.

- Rated 2 out of 5by watermaolon, 2 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, 2 days agoVery good, I like it better than Grammarly 'cause it's open-source.
- Rated 5 out of 5by TJ1, 2 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, 5 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, 6 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by emo_baguette, 18 days 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Brunno Pleffken, 21 days agoThe best grammar/spelling checker out there. The only thing missing is the frequency of updates with new features, which could follow the same routine as Chromium.
