Grammarly
Oct 16, 2018
Has anyone found a way to integrate Grammarly into storyline to check their work? I have heard of people making it work on other software that it is not specifically designed for.
I can use chrome extension in tools like rise and review because they are web-based but no luck anywhere else without copying and pasting all of my content back and forth.

Hi Keith,
I'd be curious about this one - as I love using Grammarly! I haven't seen a way to set it up for Storyline though, but love using it here in ELH, Rise and, Review.
Keep us posted what you figure out.
Do they have a web service or API?
I believe API but im not sure.

I couldn't find any information on an API for Grammarly, but this site has one https://textgears.com/api/ Free up to 250 requests/month.
This might be a dumb question but how did you get Grammarly to work with Review? I have tried but am not having any luck.
Hm, not dumb at all, Amy! I took a look and noticed that I'm not seeing in Review anymore but I could have sworn it was there. I have the Chrome Grammarly extension installed and I typically see the small green circle in the corner as I'm typing as below:
I think the feature in Storyline that can export to Word is enough.
Let the Grammarly and Word Doc go together outside Storyline. -my 2 cents. :)
The problem is that will only check slide notes. Not screen content.

Ah, you were looking to have Grammarly change the content on the slide itself? That has not worked for me either, nor would I expect it. Also, the Word export will use images as the slide placeholders but you could look at exporting for Translation as Grammarly would interface with that in the Word doc.
Thanks Ashley, the exporting for translation works well.
Check the timeline for each slide so you know each object is in the correct order. This is the order they will show up in the Word doc.
I used that, unchecking the box for "Include 'Original Text' column for reference.
Once the .docx file was ready I removed all the extra columns and then used the Table tab convert the table to plain text. (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/convert-text-to-a-table-or-a-table-to-text-b5ce45db-52d5-4fe3-8e9c-e04b62f189e1)
Once I have just the text I highlight it all (CTRL A) and set the font, font-size, and color to be the same.
With just the text in the Word document I run the Grammarly plugin in Word (make sure you are not using dual monitors....) and make the edits in Storyline based on the Word document. I also use this corrected Word document for my voice actor's script.
Hi Peter,
This is excellent! Thanks for reaching out in this discussion to share your process of exporting your content to a Word document to use Grammarly.
