No. I'm perfectly fine with the "Spell Check" preview option, using the browser built-in dictionaries. ...

I'm very sceptic to send personal content for grammar checking to a 3rd party server where non-European legislative applies. > In am keen to know what you think about this apparent issue? > I'm pretty sure, that I'm not the first one with privacy concerns. I'm pretty sure, that someone else did publish an open-source solution, that I could use. If I really need grammar checking I would search for an open-source project, that provides some docker images, that *I can build* - test and tweak for my own purposes. Then I would try to find the source for a browser addOn that I can configure or tweak to connect to my own server. I would probably have a closer look at: LanguageTool. I didn't fully reat their privacy statement <https://languagetool.org/legal/privacy> yet, so I don't know, if I would trust them or not. But it looks interesting. Especially since I did find some docker related stuff already. -mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
