Grammar and Spell Checker - LanguageTool by LanguageTooler GmbH
Review by James Savik
Rated 5 out of 5
by James Savik, 5 years agoSelf editing is tough. If you wrote it, it seems right to you. Finding errors is not easy, but necessary for your words to be taken seriously. This add on can see the small errors in your text that you can't. Their support is excellent as they responded to a request for help at 2am my time. I'm impressed.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Sage, 12 hours agoI have used this tool for a very long time, it worked as I wanted it to. But now I have to pay for it? What nonsense is that? I'll be removing this extension, and moving onto other tools that check spelling without some AI nonsense.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Lobster84, 2 days agoGreed took over and now this tool is only free to use in a 14-day trail period, unless you want to pay for premium, this tool is useless. Shame because it was a good tool. Plenty of free alternatives out there. I would even prefer to go back to write in a text editor, do a spell check online with a free tool and then paste the corrected text where I want to post it. Besides that, with AI getting better every day, online spellcheck can easily be done without using this tool.
Uninstalling the extension. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19987060, 2 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by IriyAleo, 3 days 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, 3 days 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, 4 days 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, 4 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, 5 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, 5 days ago
