Description from store

Co:Writer® Universal Extension for Chrome™ helps you write with proper grammar and spelling using topic-specific vocabulary. It integrates with the Chrome™ browser for word prediction and speech recognition just about anywhere you write online including Google Drive™, Microsoft Word, blogs, Learning Management Systems, testing, social networks, and email.

Try it for free and see if it works for you. Pricing and more information can be viewed at https://cowriter.com

How Does Co:Writer Work?
As letters are typed, Co:Writer predicts the intended word with a selection of word suggestions using powerful grammar-smart word prediction. These suggestions can be read aloud by moving the cursor over the words. Selecting the intended word places it into the built-in writing document. For feedback while writing (and after writing) built-in text to speech can be used to read letters, words, sentences, and any selected text. If the microphone is chosen, you can speak and we'll convert your speech into text.

4+ Million Topic-Specific Dictionaries:
Co:Writer has access to a main prediction dictionary (that includes core words) and Topic Dictionaries (that includes topic specific words). Co:Writer can access over 4 million topic-specific dictionaries which are activated based on the writing task.

A small sampling of the variety of topic dictionaries:
✔ America's Cup
✔ Compare and Contrast
✔ Dinosaurs
✔ Grumpy Cat
✔ History of the Peloponnesian War
✔ Mahatma Gandhi
✔ My Dog
✔ Pig Latin
✔ SpongeBob SquarePants
✔ Tommy (album)
✔ Wonders of the World

Spelling Support:
Co:Writer uses Flexspell™ technology to handle the widest range of spelling mistakes including phonetic spelling and inventive spelling errors (letter omissions, word ending omissions, letter reversals, etc).

Examples of how Co:Writer aides with phonetic and/or inventive spelling:

Before Co:Writer:
The blk jargon flu over the bra lfnt.
R u hpy to ce me?
I no hw to nor the fone.

After Co:Writer:
The black dragon flew over the gray elephant.
Are you happy to see me?
I know how to answer the phone.

Grammar Support:
Co:Writer bases its prediction on proper grammar, and uses its understanding of grammar to accurately predict words within the framework of valid sentence structures.
Examples of how Co:Writer aides with grammar:
Dogs are furry. (noun, verb, adj.) - When you typed d-o, you get plural noun choices
Three very mangy dogs ran down the street. (adj., adv., adj., noun, verb… etc.) - After typing three, very, mangy, you get plural noun choices, then you get plural verb tenses.

This is a school hidden extension schools use to monitor computers and search history. Change the settings of the Co:writer and give it no admin so they can't see your screen. Hope this helps!!

Works great as an alternative for Microsoft Editor! Only reason it isn't five stars is it needs your money after 7 days of use.

For the students who need this for rate enhancement and spelling support it is a great tool. The ability to add topic specific vocabulary is valuable.

It won't do anything. Seriously. All it does it sit in the corner of my screen, as well as movies/video content and be annoying.

The extension has great potential, the predictive text is spot on and very usefuly, but the usability and the typing flow is terrible, Why not be like other similar autocomplete tools, use the "Tab" key to select the word. Having to click a number of a use the mouse to select the word really breaks the flow and slows down the writing. Also, having inline suggestions (a grayed out text like in gmail) would be great. Lastly, It is heavy, I have no need for the audio/speech features, can you make a seperate version for typing.

This extension has been so helpful for our students with learning differences! They are able to use word prediction to support their writing. Teachers love the topic dictionaries which enable you to access vocabulary specific to the topic. The result is students writing more, less frustration, using more robust vocabulary and doing this in less time.

Had to sign into my personal account to write this because in my school account, I can neither rate nor remove this extension. Co-writer is never useful, especially when you have google translate. It's easier to actually type the word than it is to use co-writer to complete it.

Excellent academic writing assistance, especially for those with dysgraphia or dyslexia. Dictation is accurate, and the foreign language aids work well too.

This actually sucks. It's slow, uses Yahoo and gives you all the wrong results and its doesn't work. I can't get to my bookmarks and I have important tabs. I can't get to google drive either. Don't EVER download this if you are not forced to.

I hate it. It bloats up the computer I am forced to use for school. It slows down all of the webpages, and I can't remove it because because my school is stupid. Its poor, slow, disgusting, and makes me want to throw up. Please, whoever made this, stop.

CoWriter is supporting our students struggling with spelling. It can even help with good sentence structure. They love that the words can be read to them as they work in their document.

I attempted to use it cross-platform on Opera. All I received was "loading"...from the initial launch until I gave up and removed it. I launched, relaunched trying different circumstances (browser restart, cache clear,etc.) and always got the same result.
