The e-Comments Chrome Extension allows you to insert hundreds of Common Core-aligned writing feedback comments into your Google docs, slides, or any webpage that accepts text.
Our floating e-Comments menu widget includes four switchable writing feedback comment sets for grades 3-6, 6-9, 9-12, and college/workplace. In addition to our customizable comments, write your own or record audio/video/screencast comments, as well as link to external resources and websites. The e-Comments menu is completely customizable: move, hide, add, delete, or change the order of comments. Create and save your own comment sets for different classes, assignments, or projects to your Google account for easy usage across multiple devices and platforms–whether you are at home, school, or work! Works in Google Classroom and Google Assignments–virtually any learning management system.
New: copy and paste or drag and drop comments onto any webpage!

This is a great extension. For me as a teacher it works perfectly. It´s easy to use and after having created your own comments, you can use it for many (all?) subjects. Some months ago I had some problem. I contacted the team and I got very quick support althouht it was at a Saturday! (Tt showed up that it was due to a google update). I really would recommand this program and I am very happy that I found out about this addon.
vert helpful to have comments ready at hand . . .. instead of typing each one
An incomparable time saver for annotating student essays. Custom comments are easily added and modified, and each generation of this extension has improved significantly upon the last. Truly excellent.
Good concept.
Interface looks like it’s from the 80s.
It would be great if you could edit the prepopulated comments instead of only adding your own.
Also, the option to edit the comment prior to posting allows the opportunity to personalize the feedback.
Overall, not good enough to replace the Canned Comments feature in Google Classroom (which is FREE).
Great instructional resource for professors to quickly navigate student papers and provide accurate writing issues.
Fantastic option for inserting canned responses into Google Drive documents with ease. Not only is this useful as a teacher for grading but I could see this as being a great professional resource too for others. Keep up the great work guys!
I was able to get the extension up and running during the 7 day trial and I purchased the license right away. I’d recommend this for any educator who uses Google Docs for assignments. However, I am having similar problems to others in the comments. I also was unable to us E-comments with my school’s email domain/Google account, but I WAS able to use it with my personal, non-school account. My IT guy wisely told me to change the Chrome account to my personal one and I was finally able to purchase the extension. Eventually, I was able to use E-comments on both my personal and school Google account (again, don’t get that confused with the Chrome account). However, it’s stopped working over the last few days. I can use the extension while I’m on my personal Google account for Drive and Docs, but not when I switch to my school account – which is where I really need it.
I reached out to the support email once a few weeks ago and got no reply. I sent it again to the same address today and also sent the same message to Mark Pennington who is in this thread. Hopefully they will be able to get back soon and help get this sorted out?
This is an amazing extension. It not only allows you to grade quickly using ACTIONABLE feedback, but it also allows you to leave video and audio feedback all in one place! AWESOME! And the creators are very hands-on with feedback! A great experience so far!
Teachers and workplace supervisors will love this using this extension to save time and provide better writing feedback.
