Reviews for Grammar and Spell Checker - LanguageTool
Grammar and Spell Checker - LanguageTool by LanguageTooler GmbH
Review by Eric
Rated 3 out of 5
by Eric, 4 years agoThe LanguageTool plugin works well; however, I have noticed that this plugin is inferior to the LanguageTool editor. I can apply all corrections from the plugin, then paste the corrected text in the editor and find additional corrections. I would have expected the same performance for both the editor and the plugin.
Note: I found the same issue with the Thunderbird plugin and added the same comment there.

Developer response
posted 4 years agoThe editor and the add-on use the same backend (unless you use a local server), so the results are the same. You might have enabled picky mode in the editor, but not in the browser add-on. If you still see differences, please contact our support (see https://languagetool.org/legal for our email address).

- Rated 2 out of 5by watermaolon, 9 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, 9 days agoVery good, I like it better than Grammarly 'cause it's open-source.
- Rated 5 out of 5by TJ1, 9 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, 12 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, 13 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.
