It is very useful for day-to-day written communication.
Doesn't even work, here!
I tried v.1.0.2 with OO 4.3.1 on Win 10 x64 and OO couldn't install it.
I downloaded this extension, and it does not work correctly. To start with, it is basically a link to the Scribens site. You select the text you want to check, click the Scribens dropdown and click "check selected text," then it opens a separate window, which is a simplified Chrome window with the Scribens website. Problem is, unlike the normal website, it won't allow me to paste text into the box to be checked. I am guessing it is supposed to take the text from your document that you selected and transfer it onto the site for you? Nothing happens, and I am only able to type into the box manually, making it useless for any text that is already typed.
