Linguix.com - a service for improving written English

    Hello! Today I wanted to tell you about my new project - an online assistant for fixing errors in English texts Linguix.com . This service is for those who use English in communications or want to improve writing skills.

    How it works: browser extensions


    We have created extensions for the Chrome and Firefox browsers . After installing this extension, the system starts checking the text that you print on many sites - from email services such as Gmail, to blog platforms such as Medium and social networks (Twitter, Facebook, etc.).

    The algorithm searches for typos in real time (them in the database 9 million), punctuation errors, grammar, style inaccuracies. For each error found, the assistant offers correction options. If a system does not know a word, but you are sure of its correctness - you can add it to your personal dictionary, Linguix will no longer emphasize it. The important point is that you can use extensions for free and even without registration, that is, completely anonymous.





    What else: Advanced Web Application


    In addition to browser extensions, we have an even more functional web application. In it, the user can create many documents and conveniently switch between them.



    Everything works simply: copy or start typing it directly in the editor - the system will start looking for typos, punctuation, grammar and style errors.



    Error sets will differ for different variants of English: Linguix supports not only British and American English, but also, for example, Canadian and Australian variations.

    In the case of teaching written English, it is important to understand how different language options differ - British, American, Australian, or Canadian. A built-in tool for checking the readability of the resulting materials will also be useful: the student will gradually understand what words add unnecessary complexity to the text.



    In addition to the features that are found in many similar services, Linguix also has some features that are not so common. One of the most important is the presence of a special Pastebin mode in the program, which works similarly to secret chats in the messenger: all materials created in it are checked for errors, and are completely deleted after closing the window.



    Who benefits from the product


    The service will be useful to those who have to conduct written communication in English (from writing business letters to filling out profiles in Tinder), as well as those who study the language or teach it. We also expect that not only the students themselves, but also, for example, their parents will use Linguix: having bought access to the child, they will be able to see how many mistakes he makes in the texts and observe the progress (useful knowledge if you pay, for example, for additional classes).

    Right now, there is a vote on our project on the Product Hunt website . If you liked what we are doing, or have any questions, ask them or share your experience / using your development wishes at the link: www.producthunt.com/posts/textly-ai .
