Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 15243425, 6 years agoI'm not using it for long, but it seems to work very well, it also helps in writing not only in fixing grammar errors, but also warns you about duplicate words and other little stuff (I guess the pro version is even better).
Not only it does work well, but is also very pleasant to look at, both the configuration page and the little pop up when you want to fix the words etc... I love the style!
Sadly it does not work in every fields, like for example Google search bar or the one where I'm writing the review! This is a little bit ironic
Edit to answer: I didn't know about mozilla limiting them on the site, but I think if it could be possible to have the spellcheck even for those text field (maybe with a settings to disable them?).

posted 6 years agoIt doesn't work on addons.mozilla.org because Mozilla limits all add-ons so they cannot work on this site. The reason it doesn't work on the Google search bar is because it only works on multi-line fields.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16269858, a day agoExcelente ferramenta que ajuda no dia a dia, para corrigir erros de ortografias diretamente no momento que estamos escrevendo os textos, sem ter que ficar copiando e colando e outros corretores...
Isso ajuda muito, muito mesmo. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17916498, 2 days ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by M Shahin, 4 days agoIt's perfect for English, but for my language "Arabic" it sucks, and I can't even disable checking in Arabic and keep giving false positives and wrong destructive suggestions even I've added English as the only language for detection and checked the box underneath, but still annoying me with Arabic false errors, and wrong suggestions, please fix!
- Rated 2 out of 5by H-1-P-P-Y, 4 days agoits ok for basic spelling mistakes but has real difficulty with some words people would spell phonetically I'm dyslexic so I spelled definite like this defenate. The add on offered me two options to correct the mistake defecate and def enate. I'll forgive defecate as the app could have thought it was a mistype but to not offer definite when I typed it in google and the correct spelling was the first thing google offered. Also loads of names of places are flagged as a mistake Shinjuku for example. I wouldn't recommend this add on in its current state.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Marion, 6 days agoPersonally I hated this extension and uninstalled it. The grammar checking function is extremely irritating (it doesn't seem to get the idea of casual English where you don't necessarily want to have loads of commas everywhere) and there doesn't seem to be a way of permanently disabling it. It also constantly offers me unwanted style guides for "improving" the style of my English (by upgrading to a paid version). This is probably fine if you are writing English as a second language, but it isn't suitable for native speakers wanting to catch awkward spellings or typos.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dr_Cordelier, 9 days agoHilft mir dabei meinen Schreibstil zu verfeinern, gerade bei der Kommasetzung und bei das und dass ist es sehr hilfreich. Ein tolles Tool, wo sich die 5 € pro Monat lohnen.
