How it works

  2. Press the button to check. The fixed rules run in your browser.
  3. The suggestions open in the side panel, one line each with its reason. Press a line to see the word in your text.

Where it works

  • Gmail, the WordPress and Blogger editors, and most other web text boxes. It stays out of search, sign-in and similar boxes, and you can turn it off for any site.
  • Chrome and other Chromium browsers on a computer. It cannot be installed on a phone; the web editor works there.
  • Google Docs is not supported yet.

What it asks permission for, and why

  • Sign in with Google: so the AI-assisted check can use your account.
  • Side panel: to show the suggestions.
  • Storage: to keep your settings on your device.
  • Running on web pages: so its button can appear in text boxes. Tamil typing converts as you type in your browser and sends nothing. A box's text is sent only when you press Check for an AI-assisted check after signing in.
  • thiruttham.com: so the extension can tell that you are signed in on the website.
