A few good questions
Is this tool free? Do I need an account?
No registration is needed. Local and browser utilities have no API cost. External features require the site operator to configure a service and may have usage limits. AI and translation are unavailable until configured.
Where does my text go?
Local text processing stays in this browser. Optional providers receive input only when you choose them and submit. Dictionary lookups send the word you request. Browser speech services may use the browser vendor’s servers. Saved learning lists stay on this device. Read the full privacy details.
Can I rely on every result?
The community API may have missing words or unavailable examples. It has no uptime guarantee. Review output before sharing it. These tools support learning and writing, not formal assessments or professional advice.
