Grammar and Spell Checker - LanguageTool by LanguageTooler GmbH

Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 18321141, 3 years 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 years 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 2 out of 5by Arnav Madaan, 4 days agoHad a great time using this till it was free, and honestly speaking if it was priced reasonably I would have considered paying. But the price jump is insane, so I guess this is it.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20187268, 4 days agoReally feels like an end of an era. I never needed extended features or bells and whistles improving my writing. All I wanted was a simple extension to help me spell 'enshitification' that doesn't cost me a premium.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Aspasia, 5 days agoI understand that server costs and everything else are getting more expensive, but a price jump from 0 to 20€ is simply outrageous. I also don’t understand why they can’t offer a free, stripped-down basic version alongside a premium model. It’s a shame – you were good, but this is a rip-off.

- Rated 1 out of 5by M e, 7 days agoIt was great until it said "Your Premium trial has ended" and now it does NOTHING without a payment of $70/year! Uninstalled immediately.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 20180143, 7 days agoC'était très bien gratuit même de base et ensuite pour pouvoir continuer, il faut payer et obligatoirement passer en "premium", pas d'autre choix. Et bien au-revoir!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Love_Illusions, 8 days agoYour extension was amazing, but I can't pay for it.
Good luck anyway. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15958357, 8 days agoFunciona muy bien, se adapta al idioma con el que escribes, te sugiere hasta los signos de puntuación o sinónimos si has repetido una palabra en la frase, pero ahora es de pago y muy cara. Podían haber puesto gratis lo de la ortografía (ya que hay múltiples aplicaciones que lo hacen) y lo de mejorar los comentarios de pago por 1€ al mes.
Ahora aunque den marcha atrás se van a quedar con un montón de votos negativos. Fue una pésima idea.
