Grammar and Spell Checker - LanguageTool by LanguageTooler GmbH
Review by Firefox user 18321141
Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 18321141, 3 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 3 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Oliver Chan, 3 days agoFabulous extension. Works in many situations. Hours of fun. Highly recommended.
Edit: It didn't detect a single grammar mistake in these test sentences:
"Me typing sentences with the worst grammar for demonstration purposes"
"Me like drink banana smoothies"
"Me confused as to why LanguageTool not detecting simple grammar mistake like these" - Rated 5 out of 5by Electrolight716, 4 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by yked, 11 days agoIf you aren't ready to pay for Grammarly, this is your grammar checker of choice. Free versions of these two services are more or less similar, and both are good
However, the premium version of Grammarly is just better. Outrageously expensive and English-only -- yes. But in terms of convenience, accuracy, and usefulness, LanguageTool is not on the same level (yet?), unfortunately
(I use LanguageTool, by the way) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16489002, 11 days ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Loustic, 11 days agoCe module a tendance à vous imposer des virgules qui n'ont rien d'indispensable.
