- Rated 3 out of 5by Pepper, a month 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.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Sebo1020, 2 months agoThe spell check system automatically checks punctuation first and highlights text in yellow ...which automatically blocks/disables spell check itself, how come there is no way to configure the order of these options

posted 3 months agoIt's impossible to check your text without full data access, that's just the way the add-on has to be implemented...- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18279053, 3 months ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17608264, 4 months agoMediocre results.
*New words you add to dictionary are never offered as correction.
*Many times there's no proper correction for simple typing mistake, like changing the order of two letters in a word - the suggestions are weird and irrelevant.
TL;DR - barely more useful than Firefox' (horrible) built-in speller.Developer response

That's only the case if you are not logged in. With an account, your dictionary words will be used for suggestions. - Rated 3 out of 5by Miphee, 5 months agoIt's a very useful tool for spell checking but I'm very sad that it's not available in Hungarian. I know it's a difficult task to include all languages but I still expected all EU countries to be available. Disappointed.
Still, the app works as advertised when I'm using English. - Rated 3 out of 5by Fiance, 5 months agoВ целом хорошо. Но попадаются обычные слова которые не знает, отсутствуют в словаре. Большим недостатком является отсутствие проверки на букву ё. При этом блокирует встроенную проверку от браузера, где есть проверка на ё. Поэтому вынужден отказаться пока от данного расширения.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Dollique, 8 months agoIt's okay, but I have a bug where it doesn't check commas and punctuation.
And also on some form fields (like this review) it just doesn't work at all.Developer response
posted 8 months ago"And also on some form fields (like this review) it just doesn't work at all." -- this is a limitation of Firefox: no add-on is allowed to run on addons.mozilla.org.
We can take a look at the other bug if you post a more detailed description to forum.languagetool.org. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13177490, 9 months agoUntil recently, it was really great, but since the last update, it's become quite annoying. Every time there's a suggestion for correction, two windows pop up simultaneously, which you always have to close with a mouse click, and that's killing my nervs. If you, like me, use a lot of specialized terminology that the language tool doesn't recognize yet, the entire text is constantly plastered with suggestions. It makes working impossible. Additionally, it now only wants to correct into Dutch, even though German and English are selected. This renders the tool completely unusable.

It's broken on some sites (Atticus), and won't function on others (Novlr, my main writing site). The free version is far too limiting on words but premium is far too expensive to be reasonable, very odd that after years there's no middle ground option.
Disappointingly they've also fallen to the over-hype of AI writing. All AI writing programs are based on the scraping and theft of other peoples work to train their bot. As a writer who's had my work stolen by AI datasets, it's insulting to have AI there with a forefront button demanding to rewrite things for me, and no way to shut it off. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16528173, a year ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Rainer, a year agoWenn es nicht oft die falsche Sprache erkennen und dann alles als falsch markieren und sinnfreie Vorschläge machen würde oder man die automatische Erkennung ausschalten könnte, wäre es richtig gut. Ich habe Muttersprache Deutsch und bevorzugte Sprache Deutsch und dann kommt es mit Niederländisch daher und macht alle Vorschläge in Niederländisch.
Nachtrag zur Antwort.
Danke, das habe ich schon mal gemacht, brachte aber keine Lösung. Das Problem tritt vorwiegend bei Google Notizen auf und selbst wenn man händisch auf Deutsch stellt, ist es nächstes mal wieder Niederländisch. Am besten wäre wohl, die automatische Erkennung auszuschalten.Developer response

- Rated 3 out of 5by AJ, a year agoExcellent product. However, not satisfied with the add-on. The inline pop-up closes every time the page is scrolled. My display is 1280x, and I use a mouse, and i will have to scroll to see the language suggestions. It becomes very annoying to reopen often. Need an option to close manually only using the close button, it should not close on page scroll. It also sometimes closes itself, when fetching paraphrasing suggestions, must be a bug.
Update: Posted, and pending.Developer response
posted a year agoSorry about that, but I cannot reproduce it, and we didn't get this kind of bug report before. You might want to post to our forum (https://forum.languagetool.org) with a more detailed description that allows reproducing the issue. - Rated 3 out of 5by thehumanx, a year ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Timothy, a year agoI would rate 5 stars but I think you should be able to turn of the notification that the text has advanced errors. I understand that they need a subscription of that but I think we should have the option to not accept, I would rather it just ask me if I wanted to upgrade every once in a while rather than always tell me that there is a problem and not telling me how to fix it.
