Linguix for Chrome

Proofreading your text is extremely important, especially when you work in a professional environment. This doesn’t apply only to long articles and blog posts, which one usually writes in a word processor before posting them online. The same rule goes for emails, social media and any forums officially moderated by a company.

It’s true that many of the aforementioned platforms already offer some degree of spell checking. But sometimes, to make your online writing experience error-free, you may need some extra help.

Available for both Chrome and Firefox, Linguix will detect spelling and grammar errors whenever you write something on a website. The main advantage is that you can click on any word that is underlined with red and, more often than not, the extension will give you more than one suggestion on how to correct the error.

Linguix can even detect punctuation mistakes, context errors and faults in sentence structure. It can suggest synonyms and even adapt its checks according to your writing style. Even though it’s essentially just a well-developed typo checker, this add-on can be efficiently used as a means to enhance one’s vocabulary and writing capabilities.

Because Linguix works as you type, proofreading time can be reduced significantly. Of course, this depends on your writing style. It’s perfectly fine if you’re used to typing everything really fast and don’t like interruptions because they ruin your flow; you can disable the extension for the site you’re writing on and then re-enable it when you’re done.

It’s obvious that Linguix was designed to seemingly adapt to anyone’s writing style. Since it’s completely unobtrusive, it doesn’t do anything to hinder your speed. On the contrary, this is a browser extension created with the intention of making the whole writing process faster and more efficient.
