Grammar and Spell Checker - LanguageTool by LanguageTooler GmbH
Review by Firefox user 18321141
Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 18321141, 10 months agoThis is not a local spellchecker (all browsers use to have local spellcheckers)
"LanguageTool" forwards all of your text to third party servers (wasting data and adding latency) and does not show you errors until responses are received from those servers (huge lag)
Mobile Firefox removed its spellchecker because Android had a spellchecker, but Google removed Android's spellchecker because most browsers has spellcheckers.
LanguageTool is now the sole result for https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/search/?q=spell%20checker but our business does not allow apps that forward text to remote servers.
Now 4 stars due to responses about local servers

posted 10 months agoYour business can also run the LT server locally, as described at https://dev.languagetool.org/http-server. The latency for checking is usually <1 second, please report a bug in our forum at https://forum.languagetool.org/ if it's slower for you.
