grammar check

Not a perfect solution...

I copied text from LyX into Microsoft Edge co-pilot following (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/do-more-with-ai/how-to-check-your-grammar-using-bing-chat?form=MA13KP).

I used command: "Can you check this text for spelling errors and grammer errors?", and passed in the text to check *after* a line break (Ctrl+Enter, I think), and then clicked on the start button.

The results seems to be quite good, although it "fixed" a handful of errors that were not really errors, but rather words that co-pilot didn't know (some technical words from dna analysis).

I then copied the corrected text from MS Edge back into LyX.

The "downside" of this procedure is that some structure was lost in the copying back-and-forth process (a slash "/", some bullet symbols in lists, etc.).

Hello,

I've decided to do my note-taking (Zettelkasten) by just using pen & paper and when I want to produce some context I'll just use LyX - exporting to markdown when I want something for the web (using Tiki
CMS) or LyX/LaTeX for writing articles (pdfs), slide-presentations, books…

However, being non-native speaker/writer I do find useful to use some grammar checkers.

To support LanguageTool I've subscribed to Premium version, but found out that despite being open-source etc. it has its limitations (see e.g. https://github.com/valentjn/ltex-ls/issues/215).

Otoh, I've a licence for proprietary Antidote
(https://www.druide.com/en) which can check text provided as e.g.
markdown, LaTeX...

Now I wonder if you have any suggestion how to review lyx-gc to either support newer versions of LanguageTool or to use Antidote's ability to grammar-check LaTeX markup considering that lyx-gc was using chktex to do the task.

Any other suggestion how to add grammar-check feature to LyX?


Sincerely,
Saša
