This Writefull extension thoroughly checks the language of your texts in Overleaf. You activate Writefull’s check when you want and accept the language suggestions you agree with, and Writefull updates your LaTeX source instantly.
Writefull corrects your grammar, spelling, vocabulary, punctuation, and style. It uses AI-driven language models that have been trained on millions of published journal articles. Thanks to this, its feedback is tailored to scientific writing.
Great tool! A must have for every writer in overleaf.
Very excited to see a grammar check app applicable to Overleaf. But the issue is that the suggestion only appears in the second half of the text. And also, it seems only to check the grammar without spelling. Maybe it’s designed as a supplement to the Overleaf spelling checking?
Very useful and powerful application. Still in development, but the use in Words and Overleaf is very great. I am looking forward to implement it in Outlook and other programs. Keep going, your app is promising !
I am an experienced overleaf user, published a dozen papers there recently. I tried the previous version of Writefull, and It did not work properly for me. After reporting bugs, they fixed them in a new version.
Now I like this product a lot. It is not as user-friendly as Grammarly, but it has deeper linguistic analysis and — the main advantage— it really understands Latex, so you can work interactively in overleaf.
With Grammarly, I had to keep copying the whole Latex text to the Grammarly window. Once there, it worked, but still, I give Writefull a higher mark.
The only annoying feature of this version is the lack of navigation around the highlighted suggestions — you have to scroll the whole text every time.
I reported this bug as well, so I hope to see the fix soon.
Keep up the good work!
I was a Masters student when I was introduced to this tool. I used the overleaf extension to help my writing. My experience was mostly good. I liked the user experience. It was comforting and the AI suggestions were accurate. My suggestion is to start writing and correcting the errors then and there with it. Otherwise, when you have over 200 lines of text and if there are lots of errors… you’ll have a tough time using the tool.
Hi everyone, I am gonna share my experience with Writefull. I am PhD student and using this tool while writing my thesis and in following science articles.
It is a great tool for working in Overleaf. I have used several others before, but Writefull is definitely the best one. Of course there are some mistakes which might be annoying, but my experience with trouble repairing by Writefull team is great. I have reported a problem (I used “ambient” mode and Writefull plugin just shaded the incorrect word by red color which makes it invisible-ambient mode has black background) – I wrote it to the support and in several hours Juan wrote me thankful email for this feedback and repair this problem immediately.
I hope that more people will feedback their problems and the Writefull gets briliant.

Writefull for Overleaf is a strong editing pass for researchers. It identifies numerous typos, grammatical mistakes in my paper. We can choose to directly apply the correction to the paper conveniently.
New version is suck. Please revert to the last version.
Is it working these days?
For me it is always in “recheck” mode without any result
I used Writefull for Overleaf for a couple of days now. My initial feedback is really positive! It’s quite handy and usuable! Most of the suggestions made sense and are applied seamlessly. I played around a couple of exiting overleaf files and happy so far! Thank you 🙂
