Review by Sarah S
Rated 1 out of 5
by Sarah S, 21 hours agoDoes not recognize many common words - especially names, scientific terms, and loan words from other languages. This would be fine if it happened occassionally, but it happens *constantly* and with plenty of words that aren't names or loan words.
Additionaly, almost every time it's given me a grammar recommendation, it's been wrong. There is no way to tell it that a suggestion is incorrect - the only option is to disable the rule entirely.
I thought I had gotten this spellchecker specifically because it wasn't AI (that's why I stopped using Grammarly). Another review mentioned that the AI label only appears in the extension name after you install it, so I'd guess that's what happened and it took me a while to notice.
Overall, poor quality and deceptive.

- Rated 1 out of 5by emo_baguette, 14 days agoAI isn't any more capable of correctly editing your writing than a dog is. You're all kidding yourselves if you think that AI is at all useful. Learn how to write, and you won't need to rely on a broken robot spitting out garbage. Just program it with real words. Before generative AI existed, spell-checkers were fine. I don't need some intrusive machine correcting "my" to "Mt" in the middle of a sentence. Just don't download this, or Grammarly, or any of that AI crap. Proofread your own writing, the worst you can do is the best that AI can do.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Brunno Pleffken, 17 days agoThe best grammar/spelling checker out there. The only thing missing is the frequency of updates with new features, which could follow the same routine as Chromium.
