Features & Capabilities

Overleaf Textarea is a Chrome extension designed to improve your writing experience on Overleaf by enabling advanced spellchecking using tools like Grammarly. Overleaf's native spellcheck is limited and cannot compete with dedicated grammar checkers. This extension extracts the plain text from your Overleaf editor, filtering out commands, and displays it in a textarea overlay positioned over the PDF preview.

By using a textarea, it allows popular spellcheck plugins such as Grammarly to function seamlessly. Any changes made within the textarea, either manually or by these plugins, are intelligently merged back into the Overleaf editor, ensuring your document remains updated with correct grammar and spelling. Simplify your workflow and boost your document quality with this efficient tool.

Is Overleaf textarea Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Overleaf textarea requires very minimum permissions.
