Grammar and Spell Checker - LanguageTool by LanguageTooler GmbH
Review by adagio67
Rated 3 out of 5
by adagio67, 6 years agoAlthough it's supposed to suport both British and American English, it will always defer to American English, and there doesn't appear to be a way to choose British English as the default. For instance, 'In future' (British correct usage for 'from now on') is always highlighted with a suggestion that it should be 'in the future' (American usage).
That said, it's a great tool, and I havn't stopped using it ;)

posted 6 years agoYou can set British English as the default in the "Experimental settings" section. But you're right about "in future", we'll fix that case.

- Rated 1 out of 5by IriyAleo, 11 hours agoThe main functionality has been paid for. Now there is no reason to use this extension when there are a bunch of free alternatives.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Davide, 17 hours agoYou can not use this addon, if you can't connect to languagetool.org (alledgedly to accept the privacy policy) even when using a LOCAL server...
- Rated 5 out of 5by reddragon696, a day agoThis App has saved me from misspellings numerous times. I wish it offered more on the free side, but you can't have everything. I highly recommend it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Viktor, 2 days agoUsed to be an amazing add, but they added AI features no one liked, then blamed the fact people use AI to push a stupidly expensive subscription
- Rated 1 out of 5by bigsecretofind, 2 days agoA complete corporate bait-and-switch. Avoid.
I found this extension while looking for a reliable grammar checker, and at first, it was amazing. But the developers just pulled the ultimate rug-pull on their loyal user base. They took a great free extension with solid, basic grammar and spelling features and locked everything behind a massive paywall.
They are now demanding an insanely overpriced subscription: $24 USD monthly or a whopping $69 USD per year just for standard grammar checking! Was the AI bill really that expensive that you had to alienate your entire community? I’m definitely not going to self-host an app just to get basic browser tools.
In short: Don't bother installing. Look elsewhere. - Rated 5 out of 5by Tamaki, 3 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by mj4346, 5 days agoWell...loved this extension for many years now, and praised it to friends for how useful of a tool it is, and they ruined it over night. I imagine that they couldn't afford the AWS AI bill for their stupid, shoe-horned, AI nonsense, and now the whole extension is going behind a paywall. You have to be a real moron to pay a subscription to a spell checker ($34.90 a month???? Are you insane??) Time to find a new extension I guess..

- Rated 1 out of 5by Gatoway, 5 days agoHow to ruin your product overnight... Nobody wants AI Slop AND then forced to pay for it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Abyss, 6 days agoYeah No I'm not going to cover your AI running cost, A simple extension turned into a AI slop and now users are being asked to pay for it. LOL NO.
