that's the title of the article up there, but should note the writing they are suggesting it should be used for is in fields where originality and aesthetic quality are not valued qualities.

Thanks. But obvious clickbait is annoying incendiary obvious clickbait, so they're not getting rewarded with my click!

It's a good spell checker too.

Not as good as Antidote, which I still pay for, but it's more about the UI than anything else.

However, the advice it gives to improve my writing style are underwhelming. I'm sure they are useful for people that don't write often, but if you do, you have developed a sense of the quirks you can get away with, and it's part of your identity.

Fixing them is not an improvement.

Is Antidote the best checker out there? I’m guilty of having a lot of typos as I usually write my thoughts quickly, it would help to have a second hand there.

The best, I don't know. The best I've ever tried, certainly. Expensive, but professionally well worth it.

And it works in Thunderbird, VScode, LibreOffice, Firefox...

Thanks! Any info about their privacy policy? I remember similar tool before caught sending all texts processed to the cloud, or is locally done?

The old version, antidote 9, used to work offline, so I keep it religiously in my hard drive to work in a plane or on things under NDA. Integration with 3rd party doesn't work anymore, but the stand alone spell checker works.

After that (currently running 11), it's all in the cloud, and open a web browser page every time, and you get the privilege to pay a recurring contract on top of that.

Now I get why they are doing this, it's hard to make a living selling software, but it's clearly a downgrade.

However, it's still worth it to me, especially for professional documents or articles on https://bitecode.dev

Not to write but to have an help in write.
