Reviews & Comments of Co:Writer chrome extension

Bro i hate this thing because i have to keep it on this is stupied

bad

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 EXTENTION SLOWED DOWN MY COMPUTER TO WHERE IT TAKES UP TO 10 MINUTES TO LOAD A STUPID GOOGLE SEARCH! 1 STAR THIS EXTENTION SLOWS DOWN YOUR COMPUTER!

so much money. hard to get in to.

I can't get it to work.

I have a child with a disability that needs to use speech to text and it will not stop saying "not available offline" Guess what? I am online, I have reset everything and it still doesn't work! I also can't even use it in her Office Libre docs from her teachers. Gahhh

good!

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.

It is not free, it doesn't work anyway

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 regret downloding this app

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 no longer can use the voice feature on google chrome extension.

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.

it will never let you go on it

Ruined by lack of customization and annoying-as-hell features like automatically capitalizing the first word of each sentence. It is literally useless outside the specific use-case of only using Google-Chrome to write text. TL;DR • Utter junk; disables ability to input numbers.

On the outset looks like it's working well until I add a period at the end of a sentence and it deletes the last letter of the word and adds a period. Is there a fix to this or is this a setting adjustment on my part? Currently adding two spaces after last word of sentence to get the period in place or floating away from the sentence. For Example: Today is a good da. The extension deletes the letter y and places the period in it's place. I'm working in a Google Doc.

gave me virus

i hate co witerer

After I read the condescending and arrogant description of this extension (where it is stated the "general public" is not allowed to use it), I downloaded it specifically to give it the lowest rating possible and leave my own disrespectful comment. Think of this as a "Right back at ya" from the general public.

It wants to share my name and email and who knows what else.

could not access, authentication failed

i don't like how much room it takes up on my extension bar and how i cant remove it

This is a great option for our districts who have moved to Chromebook. Co:Writer has always provided the highest level of word prediction support for our students who struggle with spelling. It's so easy to create a topic dictionary! Love the added voice recognition feature too!

It is exciting to see Don Johnston, Inc. offer these wonderful writing supports on multiple platforms so they are more accessible to our students. The extension is working great for us! As others have noted, you must own a subscription to use this product.

This is a fantastic app and extension for supporting spelling, grammar and vocabulary. You must have a subscription for it to activate, see the description. Thanks Don Johnston for making this valuable tool available in the google platform!

terrible! I couldn't make an account!

This extension is only useable if you have a Co:Writer Universal account (see the description). Typically this is purchased by schools, school districts, college etc. they give you the login/unlock credentials. Contact Don Johnston Inc. to purchase a license.
