A great little chrome extension I use daily. I can't believe I didn't hunt this! Kudos @riaface

Chrome's inbuilt spellchecker is good, but sometimes it doesn't cut the mustard. This Chrome extension also checks for context, grammar and punctuation issues, and has a thesaurus and dictionary to boot.

I know you offer a money back guarantee but you'd get a lot of feedback from folks if you allowed a one week free trial to premium. I'm genuinely curious about premium. I want to kick the tires but I'm reluctant to get sucked into the machine.

Willing to give this a try, Gingersoftware's grammer checker is great, but it causes alot of overhead on editing wordpress pages. Lets see how this works.

@tracyingram it s also a great option (my favorite to be honest and in full disclosure) as i am one the investors :)

Anyone here read William Hertling's Singularity books? The first fully Sentient AI started from grammar checking algorithms.

Excellent! Thanks

This is a great help and I have already recommended it to a few of the worst emailers I know. Is there anyone else having issues paste-ing images into Slack, with this enabled? My text box is also the same color yellow as it is when there is no connection. I am certain it's the extension because it's icon is overlapping the emoticon icon in the far right of the text box, and animating as I type, or attempt to past. (updated: confirmed. Disabled extention and am able to paste images to slack)

@ryannegri I tried that and did not experience any issues. I'm passing this to engineering for investigation.

Already catching things I wouldn't have even with a critical eye. While some grammar and spelling errors humanize communications, I think this is going to go a long way to helping me avoid looking stoopid :)

Awesome Chrome extension. Sometimes it provides definitions and sometimes it provides synonyms. How does it decide? Can you get it to show both / modify the settings?
Drew Price
@shimmb Great question, Simon. So, Grammarly gives definitions when you browse the web but when you are writing text (such as in Gmail or Facebook) you get synonyms. There is currently no way to toggle this setting but we are working on iterative features and more customization on each release.

Installed this earlier today. Already saved me a ton of 'looking stupid' moments. Great tool! One issue I noticed is on Amazon.com --- It blanks out the page and you see a blue "x" close dialogue on the page. Seems to be a known issue: https://kdp.amazon.com/community...

This is a brilliant way to get people into their funnel. On the free text checker on their website Grammarly uses the format developed by SEO firms to inform you of errors without telling you exactly what they are—unless you sign up! Getting the benefit directly in the browser provides better UX. This way, you just get the upsell when you click on "open grammarly," which probably provides better conversion rates.

@riaface Thanks for mentioning Grammarly! The better link to use to get the Chrome extension is https://www.grammarly.com/ Could you update the link in the original post? @everyone - I'm a co-founder and head of growth at Grammarly and will be happy to answer questions or provide comments.
Anthony Wing Kosner
@riaface @everyone @max_lytvyn Max, greatest thing since sliced bread! And, yes, I realize I am missing the article for effect!
max_lytvyn
@riaface @everyone @akosner Thanks! We are working hard on improving performance, accuracy and compatibility. API is in the works as well. Stay tuned.

@riaface @everyone @max_lytvyn Do you provide an extension settings page, to allow the user to control which extensions Grammarly js-injects into? FWIW, it can break other extensions.
max_lytvyn
@osakasaul Yes, this is on a ToDo list. We currently provide a way to disable it for certain sites and automatically disable it for certain conflicting extensions, but will allow more control in the future.
Saul Fleischman
@max_lytvyn RiteTag. Kindly stop injecting into this: https://chrome.google.com/websto... Thanks much, and feel most welcome to say hi - saul@ritetag.com

JFYI that the main link being used is legacy and there's a newer flow here: https://free.grammarly.com/ (in case you all want to check that out). The older page will be sunset soon. Thanks, Ria, for the post!

Grammarly is very good. I am just concerned about the privacy aspect, as almost everything you type is transmitted to their servers in the US.
wojtek
So... how do you keep my data private?
Brandi Young
Very surprised that the paid version has a monthly price tag. (And a hefty one at that.) Perhaps I'm missing something but the subscription model doesn't seem right for this.
Sarah Cornwell
I have been using Grammarly for a week and I am blown away. It is fantastic! It goes so far beyond a spell check. You guys have built a fantastic product. Congratulations.

Great tool for students and professionals alike

Pros:

Great tool that works on most websites

Cons:

It doesn't scale with some comment boxes that can be scaled

Recently upgraded to premium. Love the service. The advanced suggestions are pretty amazing. Really excited for it to work in Slack (desktop + Mac) one day soon!
