LanguageTool is a style and grammar proofreading software for English, French, German, and many other languages. You can think of LanguageTool as a software to detect errors that a simple spell checker cannot detect, e.g. mixing up there/their, no/now etc. It can also detect some grammar mistakes.
My rating is tentative, as I am currently learning / testing the extension, with LibreOffice on windows 10 pro. I am also comparing with web version, and the standalone desktop, to see what how it should work or not with same test given different contexts, so I can keep working with it.
The LO extension, generated dialog windows are very small UI font size that can't be changed apparently, or it would render the rest of the OS including LO, out of its own ergonomic range (itself a pain to manage across the board of windows OS graphical objects and software type).
I will revise my rating upon further information, either way. I am liking the things I see in the interfaces on the web and standalone. but I would enjoy being able to do that integrated into LO. (even if I would also like the web/standalone, UI font size to be independent between the UI and the text under review.
It seems the integrated version in libre-office works well, as well as withing browser text boxes in MS edge.
Howevere only the LO extension has a fine grain options to control. The web and standalone seem to behave identical, probably same web technology.
I am now prefering the extension to the integrated, for its options, however unable to find through google and LT web site a place whether some indications of the meaning of those options might be.
e.g. section header and choices in:
Sentence exceeding rules: Text check move?
Paragraph check mode?
I think the inline mode contex menu font is readable. but when suing the extension dialog box, it might be java ruling the font size.
Tiene muchos errores y limitaciones. Era un buen producto pero se ha convertido en un verdadero dolor de cabeza porque marca como error palabras bien escritas como las compuestas como "supermercado" (por "super" y "mercado").
This has a few quirks, but it won my heart (and this review) by suggesting I use "propose" because I'd used "suggest" in the previous sentence. Very sophisticated for something that's free people. Went to MS 365 and it's bloated with false positives.
This didn't work because Java wasn't installed on my computer. Go to java.com, download it, the go to Tools>Options>Advanced>[Under Java Options] Add...> C:\Program Files\Java\jre-1.8
Tip: Hit F7 instead of clicking this extension's icon in the toolbar which is much more sluggish.
Using LT 5.9 on LO 7.4 under Windows 11. Works well in many respects, but it interferes with autocorrect, specifically "always correct to", which results in blank spaces. Also seems to deactivate itself when the computer comes out of sleep mode. Its spellchecker interferes with LO spellchecker and must be turned off.
