Recent reviews
Positif, les fautes signalées étaient pertinentes et la correction semble bien complète. Malheureusement le module n'est pas du tout fonctionnel avec Overleaf, et supprime des parties de document de manière a priori aléatoire. L'extension semble incompatible avec les zones de textes "formatées" ce qui est dommage pour un correcteur aussi performant.
