by Firefox user 14481257, 2 years agoThe LanguageTool spell checker APIs are great, but I'm disappointed by the addon:
- adds a lot of noise in dev tools: data attributes, lots of opaque event listeners, dozens of CSS variables.
- I don't need constant nudges to upgrade to premium—I'll do it if I'm happy with the default version.
- the source on GitHub is outdated—where can I find the source for the new addon?

posted 2 years agoThe add-on has to access the internals of each page to render errors, thus a lot of stuff shows up in the dev tools. The source of the add-on isn't publicly available.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18382632, 4 days agoDas Language Tool funktioniert recht zuverlässig in Hinblick auf die Orthografie, die Grammatik-Hilfe ergibt bisweilen recht abenteuerliche Vorschläge. Ich rate all jenen Mitbürgern dringend zur Installation, die bar jeglicher Bildung aggressiven Unfug, Beleidigungen und extremistische Hetze in die sozialen Netzwerke posaunen.
- Rated 1 out of 5by AH, 4 days agoNot 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, 10 days agoWorks 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 11 days agoThat's not quite correct. European Portuguese is available for spelling and grammar checking, but not for paraphrasing.- Rated 3 out of 5by Pepper, 13 days agoI downloaded it because it advertised itself as working for multiple languages. While it did appear to work fine for English and French, it unfortunately failed to catch basic Japanese grammar mistakes such as missing particles and misspelled words. Given that I need this most for Japanese (as that is my weakest language at the moment), I have decided to remove it from my browser.
