Grammarly for InDesign

[A.Herden]

Just a question, is there a plugin or something like Grammarly for InDesign?

[mindsteam]

MindGrammar Pro is our native InDesign solution. It works by underlining grammar errors found in the document. You can also display them by category in the InDesign preflight panel.

Good morning GreenFlyMedia.

I face the same problem as you as we do a lot of writing in InDesign after the initial doc in MS because we prefer to see the design taking shape, and coming to life.

That said, I round trip it...ID convert to PDF exported to Word and Grammarly. Now I have two documents open...the ID document (which will be corrected) and Word. Run Grammarly through the WORD doc and find the errors but correct them in ID at the same time.

It's a workaround. Not the best scenario, but catches punctuation and our grammar errors for those who like to see what they are getting from the get-go. Bosses---gotta love them and be flexible!

Ditto your process, I use the PDF trick as well. In my case, I have an InDesign project that is heavy on images (a print catalog) with hundreds of disconnected captions and notes, most entered in situ. I appreciate spell check, so why the attitude against grammar or style check if a user finds it useful? It was disappointing to have the first responses from Adobe support be a putdown of a product and to question the, um, savviness? of the questioner without an understanding of their specific needs. I will note, Grammarly provided 2 useful alerts and fixes as I wrote this reply!

Nobody is against it...but Grammarly is the party to contact. I would be vehemently opposed to Adobe spending very limited time and resources on this.,

[thecatisonthehorizon]

I agree - Everyone uses the software for their own reasons which leads to different methods of working. No one way is better than another, and for many (including myself) Grammarly would be a godsend.

How do I cancel? I purchased and it is not compatible.

I run it through Text Edit on my mac and paste it back into InDesign.

Thanks... I do something similar.

• why is there grammerly on adobe !?

I think you're going to have to be a bit more coherent if you want a response.

I have been using the free version of Grammarly for Mac for s few months now. I use it primarily as I work on my journal, Apple Pages, emails, and such. I have thought seriously about purchasing the full package a few times, most recently during Black Friday sale. The thing that has stopped me is that it does not work with InDesign. InDesign is my workhorse. Copying text and pasting it into another app and then pasting it back into InDesign is not sufficient. I will not seriously consider purchasing the full version until it integrates with InDesign. Thank you

I also use Grammarly and would love to see it developed for InDesign, too.

But Grammarly is not an Adobe product. If you want it for InDesign, contact Grammarly directly at https://www.grammarly.com/ and suggest they develop a plug-in for InDesign.

This forum has nothing to do with non-Adobe products, and I'm confused why this topic is still being discussed in this forum, let alone why a veiled threat was posted to Adobe     :

Below, a screen capture from Grammarly's website ... I don't see an InDesign logo there!

Your point is well taken but you misinterpret the “threat.” I have the full Adobe Creative Cloud. I have only the free version of Grammarly. Grammarly regularly sends me enticements to upgrade to the full version. I won’t until Grammarly works with InDesign. The message was intended for Grammarly. I reached the forum not through Adobe but from a Google search for Grammarly and Indesign. I should have paid better attention to where I landed. My apologies.

This discussion has run its course. I'm going to lock it to avoid any more confusion.
