- Rated 1 out of 5by OMG_WaitWhat, 4 years agoI have used this add-on several times, only to find that #1) It is the worst spell and grammar checker ever, and often highlights words and grammar that are correct. And #2) It significantly slows down my typing and browser. As soon as I removed it, my typing and browser speed was fine. I would give it NO stars if I could. /// In response to the Developer. It affected all websites I use on Firefox. I've never had issues before, and when I removed your app, the slowdown stopped. As for bad corrections, I no longer use the app, so I do not have screenshots and wouldn't know how to post them here anyway, because there is no way to post photos. Update: 4.25.21 I am going to give it a try again and see what happens. I removed some other add-ons and maybe they were the problem. Will update soon!

posted 4 years agoIt's strange that it slows down typing for you, which websites are affected? Other users don't have this issue. Also, please provide some examples for bad corrections.
Update: As we have 100,000+ users who don't have this problem, this must be something specific to your installation. We're happy to solve the issue if you contact our support (email at https://languagetool.org/legal/). Developer response

- Rated 1 out of 5by Mike Richards, 4 years agoThis tool prevented me from posting on Twitter over what it listed as grammar errors. When I attempted to override it, I was taken to a website wanting me to buy the premium version. I removed the tool. spell checking and grammatical checkers should only "SUGGEST". Maybe I wanted to be grammatically incorrect.

posted 4 years agoLanguageTool never prevents you from posting anywhere. If the icon is in the way, that's a bug. Please report such cases to our forum at https://forum.languagetool.org. - Rated 1 out of 5by way2dumb, 4 years ago"Big checkmark obstacles view of input field, forcing to write without seeing. Could be shifted somewhere, or, better, removed completely. Whatsapp, Telegram, any on-liner input fields have this flaw.' yes this is a real problem tht happens on a lot of places and one of my only complaints, could be fix by putting the buttons off of any user field. also no auto correct? fix that an ill change this back to 5 stars. or when i get a res ponce please. also the language tool does not seem to work on this age. Hence the loong sentences.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16492643, 5 years agoIt recently started making the txt jump around when sending DMs in twitter rendering it unusable. Before that I preferred it to the more popular one

posted 5 years agoThis bug should be fixed already with the latest update (3.2.2). Please send feedback to languagetool.org/legal/ if you find such bugs. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16446148, 5 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16165202, 5 years agoEven the premium version does not show simple article mistakes, and also the support team does not answer the questions.
My feedback was constructive with specific examples. You can check the emails. I received email from Christopher Blum at 12:51 Thu 12/11/2020 (EST).Developer response
posted 5 years agoWe answer every single feedback, as long as it's constructive. If you want LT to work better, we need specific example sentences.
Update: The sentence you later sent as an example is already detected on languagetool.org, the detection will soon be rolled out to all systems. - Rated 1 out of 5by nitestocker372, 5 years agoFirst word I checked said it was too short. Pointless!
Developer response
posted 5 years agoWe automatically detect the language you write, and one short word is not enough for that. - Rated 1 out of 5by dziban303, 5 years agoIncredible that the "privacy-focused" Mozilla is pushing users to install this app in Firefox. The app sends *everything you write* to this company, and they can do whatever they want with it. Writing a business email with sensitive information in it? Whoops! Just amazing that people fall for this.
Developer response
posted 5 years agoNo, we can not do "anything with it we want". We are a German company under the EU privacy laws, one of the strictest privacy laws in the world. Feel free to compare our privacy policy to that of other companies with similar products. If you still don't trust us, there's a section in the add-on description about to run your own LanguageTool server locally. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13513062, 5 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Edward Nordway, 5 years agoОтвратительно! Просто прорва русских слов ему неизвестна. Программа сама себе противоречит и зацикливается в советах, но всегда не правильно.
Если слово чуть сложнее речи дошкольника, то его приходится проверять через гугл и игнорировать ошибку.Developer response
posted 5 years agoWould you be so kind and post some specific examples of where LanguageTool doesn't work for you? - Rated 1 out of 5by Oreo, 5 years agoCompletely context blind. It treats different lines as entirely different paragraphs and doesn't seem to be able to recognize something as simple as the end a sentence. Practically useless.

posted 5 years agoCould you please send a screenshot to https://forum.languagetool.org? We've never heard of this problem before. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16217564, 5 years ago
