About Ginger
Ginger checks grammar and spelling against full sentences, and the site says this lets it suggest context-based corrections in long emails and documents. Its browser extensions work across websites, and double-clicking a word shows synonyms and expressions. The Word add-in and desktop apps bring the same corrections into documents.
The Chrome and Edge extensions are free to add, and the desktop apps are offered for Mac and Windows. Ginger also has iOS and Android apps and separate business, education and API offerings. Premium is a paid tier, but its pricing is not shown on the pages checked, so confirm the price with the vendor. Accuracy claims on the site are the vendor's own and were not tested for this entry.
