Make LanguageTool highlight mistakes in the original text as the user types

[HMSLIMA]

I know that OnlyOffice has the plugin for LanguageTool, however you must copy and paste excerpts of the text into a box all the time, it’s too inconvenient.

In other office suites with this plugin, the mistakes are highlighted with an underline in the original text that the user wrote, in other words, while the user is writing, if something has some mistake, it’s instantly highlighted. Is it possible to do in OnlyOffice Desktop?

Hello @HMSLIMA

Do you mean something similar to the suggestion discussed in this topic?

Language tool plugin

Dears! As a writer, I would like to make use of the plugin language tool and I have installed the plugin to my desktop installation of Only Office. I have used that plugin on Libreoffice where it works very well. In Onlyoffice it appears that Language tool plugin is only available as a sidebar where I can copy & paste text to be reviewed, but it does not look like that the plugin is checking the whole manuscript for typos and mistakes. Is there an option to configure this functionality? Thanks…

Hi, @Constantine . Exactly that.

By the answer in that thread, I suppose that a LanguageTool plugin that works in the whole text is a distant dream. The lack of this resource is literally the only thing preventing me from using OnlyOffice…

Thank you for the reply. I will forward your query to the existing suggestion, but I’m afraid that there is nothing I can share with your about ETA. Sorry for the inconvenience.
