Microsoft Editor: Spelling & Grammar Checker
Description from store

Editor provides advanced writing assistance with grammar, spelling, and style suggestions across the web (1) so you can confidently write clear, concise posts and emails.

Write like a pro with intelligent writing assistance
Nail the basics with free grammar, advanced grammar, spelling, and punctuation proofing. Go beyond basics with advanced style-checking for issues like clarity, conciseness, formality, vocabulary, and much more with premium (requires a Microsoft 365 subscription).

Personalize it to your needs
With Editor, you can add custom words (like names you frequently use or acronyms) to create your personal dictionary; look for “Add to dictionary” when Editor makes a spelling suggestion. Your personal dictionary roams with you wherever you use Editor – across the web with browser extension and built-in to your Microsoft 365 apps. We’ve also made it easy to skip all occurrences of a spelling correction by selecting Ignore All, or skip unwanted grammar suggestions by selecting Ignore. Editor will now automatically correct misspelled words as you type. A new green highlight will show you that a word has been autocorrected. In addition, Settings gives you a way to fine-tune your preferences for writing suggestions and personalize it even further.

Write anywhere
Get writing assistance on sites like LinkedIn, Gmail, Facebook, and other favorites with this browser extension. If you want Editor's assistance in the Office apps where you write the most, open Word or Outlook on the web and get suggestions to improve your documents and email.

Get assistance in multiple languages
Check spelling and grammar for up to three languages at the same time with multi-language proofing. Editor checks spelling in more than 80 languages and provides grammar checking and writing-style refinements in 21 languages.

Languages available for grammar and refinements: Arabic, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian (Bokmål), Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish

Harry Bergen
Very helpful. I almost always follow the suggested revisions. I especially like autocorrect for spelling. Sometimes being grammatically correct loses the emotional impact of what I'm trying to say, but can you really expect feelings from a machine?
Michael Nordstrom
It picks up mistakes pretty good, and comes with some good alternatives to make the text sound much better.
Ross Gobble
One of the best add ons you can have, saves a lot of spelling errors and is everywhere you go! A Must Have App in my book!
Soraya Books
A blessing in disguise
LightBurn

Canadian Canuk
It's very useful. I love using it! :)
Volkh “Zero” Hayden
For the level of sophistication of the featureset. I am impressed with how performant this extension is. the level of user-control/customization is great with modularized settings to configure. It is far more than a dumb algorithm. It makes sensible, useful suggestions. Must be some decent language server that it connects to i guess... Try it !
Rakibul Hasan
till now ok, later will share how it is
Nazir Ahmed Shaikh
Excellent.
Conans River
Wow, just wow!
Bhavik Raval
Corrections are bang on target
Mr Paul
Simple but very useful.
Craig Guerrieri
Had been using this for over a year with no issues, now it's causing tabs to intermittently hang and totally crashing Chrome itself on occasion. Disabling it solved both problems and needless to say, in the end it was uninstalled. - Windows 11, fully patched - Latest Chrome version (139.0.7258.128)

it is disapponting that it does't works reliably but on random principle (on the same site)- one day it does what it is supposed to do, the next -it doesn't.
Ramy Ayad
Simply Brilliant!

Axel Tonon
i like so much this, but i think we need can use 2 languages in the automatic correct at same time, if this is possible and i am acting like a idiot, disregard . In sometimes when a word are corrected ( turn in green ) this is like impossible to change what are typed
Tyrone “Prevail” Upshaw
I find Microsoft Editor: Spelling & Grammar Checker very useful and has been a lifesaver for me while completing my MBA.

Yousef Altaf Wasti
It's good but in my console it report issue about deprecated manifest v2 it should be upgraded to v3 any help here.
Gilbert Alphin
Thanks for checking behind me. Spelling is not the best skill I have.
Wicaksana
Not working
Guy Cousineau
Does a good job of `guessing` what I am writitng in English or in French usually based on my keyboard language selection. Helps me void typos and misspellings.
Mark
MS Editor is, for the most part, very helpful in making sure your writing is grammitcally correct. There are a few instances where the correction are either unwelcome or unwarranted, but they are few and far between.
Gražvydas Žilius
It's really useful
Dawood Munir
Excellent, very helpful app. It corrects my spelling and grammar errors. Thanks
Daniel Guitard

Great tool! 100%
Dee Gott
I work extensively with words—whether reviewing, editing, or creating book trailers—so selecting the right tone and language is essential to me. To ensure precision, I utilize multiple platforms to find the perfect fit for each project. This platform has been one of my go-to resources for quite some time, as it consistently provides the tonal options I aim to refine. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to enhance their communication and creative expression.
Paul Toms
I do prefer this editing system over grammerly. The only thing is this version doesn't register with my Crome and Premium Microsoft Office 365.
Ivan Petkov
Editor doesn't register premium status in Chrome or Vivaldi even if you have Office 365 Family...
Ali
Very helpful extension.
Denis Gilquin
excellent
Balthasar Mok
very useful
Joseph
Casual, everyday user, often within Claude conversations. In Chrome. Unlike similar grammar/editing utilities, I find Microsoft Editor to be effective without being intrusive. Not perfect, always improving, like it very much. Easy to get used to; has a very light hand.
Irradiated “Falco” Haggis
Wake me up when Microsoft fixes this. Editor doesn't register premium status in Chrome or Vivaldi even if you have OneDrive personal. It works fine in Edge, their own product, of course, just not in competing products.
Terry Schabert
My proof-reader. Love it.
Delores Day
It is handy for when I'm posting or composing! Helps me keep my grammar in tack!!
Satyajit Chakraborty
Quite useful
Arijit Kumbhakar
Awesome service, helps day to day service. Keep it up
