- Rated 1 out of 5by AH, 14 dae geledeNot very good at the Basic level. Hard core sales to upgrade to the paid level. I already use Grammarly.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Alonzo, 20 dae geledeWorks quite well, but the red warning message with supposedly further errors found, which you can only see in the premium version, makes the tool useless and confusing. Deleted.

posted 21 dae geledeThat's not quite correct. European Portuguese is available for spelling and grammar checking, but not for paraphrasing.- Rated 1 out of 5by Overflow8471, 'n maand geledeIt is sad that the add-on is no longer open source and does not make transparent what is read and transmitted to the server. Complete regression.

posted 'n maand geledeOur privacy policy at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/languagetool/privacy/ describes what is transferred to the servers. This is also linked in the add-on description and in the onboarding process during installation. - Rated 1 out of 5by Myrtle Dunbar, 2 maande gelede
- Rated 1 out of 5by Andy, 2 maande geledeI'm so sad this add-on isn't working anymore. I've used this for over a year and it was incredible, even without accessing the paid tools. Today I starting working as usual, correcting some papers, and I saw the tool didn't catch very simple mistakes (one of the sentences was "I cook burger and pizza"). IDK what happened, but I'll be deleting the extention for now.

posted 2 maande geledeWe haven't changed the error detection logic recently. However, it's possible that some errors are not detected, but we're constantly improving the system. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14493762, 2 maande geledePerfect!
If you like all the text you write sent to advertisers and shady third parties.
Just take a look at their privacy policy, easily the creepiest extension I've come across so far.
Can't understand how it's still in the "Recommended" section. Mozilla WTAF.Developer response
posted 2 maande geledeYou're probably confusing the add-on and the website. On the website, we use several common tools that almost everybody else uses, e.g. Google Analytics. You're of course free to call that "shady". The add-on doesn't use Google Analytics, and I'm not sure what you refer to as "shady third parties". - Rated 1 out of 5by Ron Gillis, 3 maande geledeI was not able to select British English, as used in Canada. Many different spellings.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Andre, 3 maande geledeVery slow to correct spelling and adds a lot of latency when writing.

- Rated 1 out of 5by xris, 4 maande geledeModule complétement ridicule, ne connait même pas l'orthographe française, et quand on essaye d'utiliser la prétendue "intelligence artificielle" on obtient des phrases complètement tordues qui ne veulent rien dire. Parfaitement à l'image de tout système "d'intelligence artificielle", écrit des contre-sens, ne respecte pas les règles grammaticales, nul ! A éviter à tout prix.

Upgrade to Premium and get advanced grammar as well as style suggestions for long texts."
No, I don't think I will. Other grammar checkers, can digest more and tell you their free limit outrightDeveloper response
posted 8 maande geledeThe free limit is 20,000 characters, which is enough for about 99% of the times people use LanguageTool. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17430635, 9 maande gelede
- Rated 1 out of 5by John W, 9 maande geledeNot very good and over-complicatef
I meant complicated of course but this rubbish app didn't pot th error
If I can't install a different spell-checker on Firefox I'm going to use a different browser, that will be a shame.
Edited to add: Despite the Developer's response my opinion stands that this add-on is useless. Fortunately I have found an alternative that works perfectly.Developer response
posted 9 maande gelede"over-complicatef" is detected as an error, but not on addons.mozilla.org because all add-ons are turned off here by Firefox.
