Ich schreibe ein Buch und habe 600 Seiten auf Schreibfehler zu korrigieren. LT im Word eingebunden wollte in jedem Satz die Erzählzeit ("ich saß") auf "ich bin gesessen" umändern. Danach habe ich immer drei und drei Seiten in den Browser kopiert. Massenweise Korrekturvorschläge, wo gar keine Fehler waren. Bei Wörtern genauso wie bei Satzzeichen. Und dann das Schlimmste: Beim Zurückkopieren in mein Manuskript pfuscht mir LT oft in meine Formatvorlagen, ändert Schriftart und -größe, einmal waren sogar alle Seitennummern weg. Irgendein Bug wird da mitkopiert. Am Praktischsten wäre es im Word integriert, doch geht das leider mit der Erzählzeit nicht. Wie das Programm in eMails oder für den täglichen Alltag funktioniert, kann ich nicht sagen. Aber wer ein Buch schreibt, sollte seine Hände davon weglassen. Die 59 Euro waren leider hinausgeschmissen.

Pros

Ich kann leider keine Vorteile sehen. ChatGPT hat mir LT empfohlen. Doch nun korrigiere ich erst recht wieder mit ChatGPT, da LT so viele Fehler anzeigt, die gar keine sind.

Cons

Unzuverlässigkeit. Für meine Zwecke nicht zu gebrauchen. Es erfasst oft den Sinn des Textes nicht. Erkennt oft einfache Wörter nicht.

Switched from

[ChatGPT](https://www.capterra.com/p/10009334/ChatGPT/)

Fehleranfälligkeit. Doch am Ende war LT noch viel fehlerhafter und ich zeigte ChatGPT jeden angeblichen Fehler. Dabei war ChatGPT um Häuser besser als LT.

Drastically improved my writing skills. It's UI is nice, it's UX is amazing and subtle. I've even installed it on my personal devices!

Pros

I love how seamless and out-of-the way this tool feels compared to competitors. I've never had to try and have any widget or icon moved because it was in the way. I also feel that as a whole, I can trust LanguageTool over it's competitors.

Cons

It doesn't appear in every box that I type. Grammarly did this a little better, even if it was in the way a lot, at least I felt like it was consistently around in each box that I type.

Switched from

[Grammarly Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/170306/Grammarly-Business/)

Community suggestion. I don't have any real reason to dislike grammarly, but it was suggested that LanguageTool might be a better option from a privacy stand point.

Pros

es un buen corrector si funciona.depende de tu tipo de cuenta. La premium es excelente, sin embargo interfiere con otros programas y de bastantes problemas

Cons

da bastantes problemas. el servicio de atención es una IA, y no es posible solucionar los problemas. Contrate una cuenta premium y no la he podido utilizarla en meses. cada vez que me pongo en contacto NO SOLUCIONAN LOS PROBLEMAS. no atiende ningún humano.

It's been amazing. I live, breathe and worship this tool for how efficient it is as a language learner.

Pros

It's proactive approach to autocorrection since I am currently teaching myself Catalan, French, Italian and Portuguese and I need to keep switching languages. Language Tool swiftly picks up and corrects me accordingly.

Cons

I feel that they're missing out on having a real translator tool. I appreciate their autocorrection focused application but sometimes I feel unsure if I made enough corrections to make my point.

Super Tool für Rechtschreibung. Kein Vergleich zum normalen System. Super gut.

Pros

Sehr gute Integration am Mac. Ist der Rechtschreibprüfung vom Mac oder Word Welten voraus.

Cons

iOS Integration ist umständlich, aber ich glaub das liegt eher an Apple

Pros

LanguageTool supports multiple languages and checks the styling issues, as well as grammar and spelling.

Cons

As other AI tools, the context might be off or missing. Still requires improvement.

Früher brauchbar, jetzt nicht mehr. Leider.

Pros

Leider NICHTS mehr. Mit der neuen Version (ich habe sie ab September bemerkt) ist das Programm nicht mehr brauchbar. Weder als Plugin für Word noch auf dem Desktop.

Cons

Schon immer hat LT mit "Taub- und Blindheit" Probleme gehabt, also mit dem Bindestrich, "Taub-" wird als Fehler gesehen. Die Korrekturvorschläge paßten oft genug auf jede Karnevalssitzung. Nun aber hat LT alle Funktionsweise verändert und nur noch Bugs. Habe ich früher in einer halben Stunde mit dem Word-Plug-In 50 Seiten und mehr durchgearbeitet, saß ich heute zwei Stunden an 17 Seiten und das ohne gutes Ergebnis.

Simple d'installation et d'utilisation, il est très utile pour progresser dans son orthographe et ses formulations (email, document, process...).

Pros

Très rapide à relire les textes, les suggestions sont correctes et font progresser la formulation. Tout l'environnement web est pris en charge par le relecteur.
