by Firefox user 20106540, a month agoAfter LanguageTool got into bed with AI, that was it for me. Having this run locally to run spell check is just what I need.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 20201350, 8 hours agoeh, not much better than the built in one. what REALLY REALLY drives me crazy and makes it totally unusable for me, is the fact that you cant click on ANYTHING that it has a line under it, whether its a green line or a red line, if you try to left click to put your cursor in ANYTHING that has ANY line under it, itll just pop up that menu as opposed to putting your cursor there. that gets SUPER SUPER SUPER frustrating after a while because if i want to change a word thats in the middle of a sentence that is underlined with a green line, well i have to click the cursor some where outside of the stuff thats underlined, and then use the arrow keys to manually go over to the word, ridiculous.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Edge, 25 days agoTried to write with it and it doesn't work. It suggests corrections, but if you click on the corrected words it doesn't change them to the correct term. To top it off, you have to turn it on every time on a site and it doesn't even work for that time either.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Sparris, a month agoit works really good if you only speak english, but if you speak multiple languages, it then moans about me being illiterate and i gotta fix my text.
i dont even know if there is a proper way without using AI to be able to have more than 1 languages and it can detect itself what im using, because i tend to switch between english and swedish very often. i know languagetool did this, but now with them asking people to pay 5$ monthly as if its some movie streaming website and not just a firefox addon for grammar, i'm forced to look elsewhere. - Rated 1 out of 5by kf62w6, a month agoI gave this add-on one more try. Nothing has changed. It's still crap.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Willy.B, a month agoFantastic grammatical add-on from amateur English learners to professional wordsmiths. The complete lack of bloated AI features, paywalls, and major issues makes this a must-have for most Firefox users. Hats off to the developers and I greatly appreciate the work involved to create this brilliant tool!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Setekh79, 2 months agoLanguage tool is now payware only, I just wanted something to check my spelling and grammar in message and form fields and this does the job 100% and better.
- Rated 5 out of 5by fran, 3 months agoThis project is both highly effective and beautiful! Thank you for offering a tool that checks every box: free, form, and function!
- Rated 5 out of 5by UnwittyDork, 3 months agoLanguageTools told me that their browser extension is now for premium members only. After reading that news, LT was removed. The search for a replacement lead me to Harper. After trying Harper for 5 minutes, it was obvious that Harper is the perfect LT replacement. Thank you Elijah!
- Rated 2 out of 5by CAMPI6277, 3 months agoBasically a good idea, both for privacy and responsiveness.
However it works generally really bad. Doesn't make difference between British and American English, it often flags correct words or makes wrong suggestions, sometimes doesn't even works and it gets stuck at half of the words.
Unfortunately, it needs a lot of work to be a useful alternative to all other high-priced grammar checkers. - Rated 5 out of 5by RafVne2, 3 months agoSo far so good. Love it, but I was testing it just for an hour, so I'll edit my review if anything pops up.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Kat, 3 months agoIt's not bad, it's just really buggy and unresponsive. I hope this gets fixed

- Rated 2 out of 5by DreadBalaur, 4 months agoIt constantly flags common people names and degrees even with all the filters turned on. Just a pain to use for correspondence.
