Description from extension meta

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

Image from store Overleaf textarea

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.

(2021-05-12) Egemen Ertuğrul: Great plugin, just what I needed!
(2021-04-19) Eric Wiener: This is super helpful! Thank you! Also a heads up - you may need to refresh Overleaf when you first install this extension and go back to an existing Overleaf tab.
(2021-04-14) Andree Hultgren: Works great! The custom filters are pure genius!
(2021-04-06) Tim Pote: Wow, just awesome. For the longest time I've just been grumbling about how bad the Overleaf spell check is and that I can't use Grammarly...how wrong I was. This is great, does what is intended!
(2021-04-01) Léolo Gonay: Amazing ! Does the job, and I cant tell you I needed someone to do the job after nights and nights working on my thesis... Thanks !!
(2021-03-22) Chris Teo: Overall, a fantastic extension. However, it is a little buggy around citations and scientific notations where certain words/sentences go missing.
(2021-03-20) R Chang: This is so awesome! it works smoothly
(2021-03-18) Joakim Skarding: Great plugin, does what it says. It's a bit rough around the edges. Some latex commands are not removed and other times the plugin removes too much. But that doesn't affect the original latex text itself so the impact is only positive. I do wish that when accepting a change just the word is updated rather than the whole line. If track changes is on, then a whole paragraph will be shown as edited when just one word was changed.

(2021-01-29) Amy qb: Just started to use it and it does take a while to get a hang of (maybe because of my adblocker) but it even integrates with my grammarly and I can configure settings right from overleaf! Thank you!

(2020-12-10) Trinh Man Hoang: Simple and work perfectly.
(2020-12-05) Simeon Hanks: This is fantastic! Thank you for doing what neither Grammarly nor Overleaf were capable of. A simple and elegant solution. NOTE: If you install the extension with Overleaf already open, you will have to refresh the Overleaf page to get this extension working. Not the developers fault and takes 3s to do.

(2020-11-24) Tai DOAN: It works perfectly man. Thanks a lot!
(2020-11-19) Hao: It's a great tool. A small bug for scientific writing. It does not detect citations and would mistakenly raise errors. Hope the author could fix this later.
(2020-11-13) Ben: A bit visually janky, but works like a dream. Perfect for overleaf and grammarly. Cheers Robin
