- Rated 1 out of 5by jam.may, 24 ġranet iluKeeps automatically changing language on me. Very annoying and there's no option to change it back.

posted 24 ġranet iluPlease send us more detailed feedback on the forum at https://forum.languagetool.org/. Generally, the language detection should work well once it has enough text (>15 characters or so). - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18474298, xahar ilu
- Rated 1 out of 5by Nikita, xahar iluThis is a privacy nightmare, so obviously "Recommended" by Mozilla.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Grom, 2 xhur iluI guess it's useful if you're terrible at writing, and it's helped me fix a couple minor errors, but overall this tool is terrible. It recommends putting commas everywhere you could possibly think of, misses a ton of grammatical errors, and is generally not useful. The thing that drove me over the edge was when it would recognize "Dursley" and "Dursley's", but would correct "Dursleys" back to "Dursley's".
It's more of a nuisance than a help. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12228898, 3 xhur iluTürkçe neden yok? bu yüzden kullanamayacağım. :(
- Rated 1 out of 5by AH, 3 xhur iluNot 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, 3 xhur iluWorks 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 3 xhur iluThat's not quite correct. European Portuguese is available for spelling and grammar checking, but not for paraphrasing.- Rated 1 out of 5by Overflow8471, 3 xhur iluIt is sad that the add-on is no longer open source and does not make transparent what is read and transmitted to the server. Complete regression.

posted 3 xhur iluOur privacy policy at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/languagetool/privacy/ describes what is transferred to the servers. This is also linked in the add-on description and in the onboarding process during installation. - Rated 1 out of 5by Myrtle Dunbar, 4 xhur ilu
- Rated 1 out of 5by Andy, 4 xhur iluI'm so sad this add-on isn't working anymore. I've used this for over a year and it was incredible, even without accessing the paid tools. Today I starting working as usual, correcting some papers, and I saw the tool didn't catch very simple mistakes (one of the sentences was "I cook burger and pizza"). IDK what happened, but I'll be deleting the extention for now.

posted 4 xhur iluWe haven't changed the error detection logic recently. However, it's possible that some errors are not detected, but we're constantly improving the system. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14493762, 5 xhur iluPerfect!
If you like all the text you write sent to advertisers and shady third parties.
Just take a look at their privacy policy, easily the creepiest extension I've come across so far.
Can't understand how it's still in the "Recommended" section. Mozilla WTAF.Developer response
posted 5 xhur iluYou're probably confusing the add-on and the website. On the website, we use several common tools that almost everybody else uses, e.g. Google Analytics. You're of course free to call that "shady". The add-on doesn't use Google Analytics, and I'm not sure what you refer to as "shady third parties". - Rated 1 out of 5by Ron Gillis, 5 xhur iluI was not able to select British English, as used in Canada. Many different spellings.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Andre, 6 xhur iluVery slow to correct spelling and adds a lot of latency when writing.

- Rated 1 out of 5by xris, 6 xhur iluModule complétement ridicule, ne connait même pas l'orthographe française, et quand on essaye d'utiliser la prétendue "intelligence artificielle" on obtient des phrases complètement tordues qui ne veulent rien dire. Parfaitement à l'image de tout système "d'intelligence artificielle", écrit des contre-sens, ne respecte pas les règles grammaticales, nul ! A éviter à tout prix.
