Description Stephan Schutter 2020-03-16 10:28:53 UTC
Description:
When working with Libreoffice I often wish for assistance in writing style and choice of words. Also, the correct spelling of words as it pertains to the context of the text written. Example: {Who|Whom} and many other examples that would build correct and good language practices. Current implementations: services in G-suite and Grammarly. An excellent implementation of this would be a compelling argument to use Libre office over Word. 

Actual Results:
Limited support for grammar and spelling.

Expected Results:
Sames as above: this is an enhancement request.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Simply use writer and note the missing language services and compare to an editor using Grammarly or use Google's editor. You will see that in Libre office there is no analysis of the "tone" in your language, nor the level of language used, nor good dictionaries or high-level help with grammar. Some of these are implemented in word by the way. It would be a good move on the part of Libre office to prioritize service like this I think.

Stephan, it sound more like an idea for an extension. What do you think?

Yep, best implemented as an extension
