This plugin displays your text in a textarea so you can use spellcheck plugins like Grammarly.

Description from store
Spellcheck in Overleaf is very basic. It is nothing compared to dedicated tools such as Grammarly. I used to copy and paste into Docs back and forward until recently. I created this chrome extension that copies the content of the file visible in the editor; filters the commands/keywords and pastes the plain text in a textarea (Right area). This textarea is displayed over the pdf preview. Extensions such as Grammarly can't check complex editors such as Overleaf, but only work in textareas. Changes made to the textarea, either by extensions such as Grammarly or yourself, are evaluated and changes are merged back to the editor.

- Doesn't work for me. As said before me, probably broken.

- It seems the plugin is broken. Please fix it.

- Looked like exactly what I needed but after installing it, the pdf part of the page is just a blank page with a cursor blinking. Some Overleaf update probably broke the plugin.

- Michael Stanley
- Very useful plugin, but the underlining will gradually become further and further down the page from the word the suggestions are targeting. This makes it hard to use on large documents.

- It has been a great extension. However, it seems there are some problems with the extension. It does not work anymore.

- Great plugin, really a game changer in overleaf. There are still some bugs like CTRL+Z sometimes not working in the plugin's text-area, problems with some LaTeX command which if removed displays errors, etc... But overall a great tool, highly recommended

- Great app for grammar checking in Overleaf. But the extension keeps crashing in Chrome, which is quite annoying.

- It worked before, but since the recent maintenance, the pdf appeared above the richtext that can check spealings.

- Doesn't work correctly for me. It seems like it displays the text under the pdf viewer and not over.

- I found on an old StackExchange that Robin Dijkhof was working on this. This is amazing for a dyslexic:). Cheers from Delft

- It is very unreliable for both Chrome and Firefox. Often the wrong words are marked and changes can screw up entire sentences. It would be such a useful extension, but overall trying it was a waste of time.

- Some of the LaTeX commands aren't filtered out, which sometimes confuses Grammarly. Overall a great extension, saves me a lot of time!

- I usually never write reviews, but this extension is a life saver. I have spent so much time copying my latex code into word removing commands and then copying into Grammarly and then having to cross-compare. Which is tedious work at best, and at worst lead to additional mistakes. This plugin is amazing. 10/10, would recommend.
