susan f (ID: 000000eedc9a41c8) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/18/2022 This used to work really well, but lately at the end of a listening exercise the word I was typing disappears and I have to retype it. Other than that, it's pretty great.

Scott Brown (ID: 0000001cfe235311) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/07/2022 Working well for Vietnamese diacritics. Cảm ơn. Only issue is that if I tab away from window to lookup the syntax for a diacritics, sometimes when I tab back I need to retype part of a word that has disappeared.

Yan Piskorzh (ID: 000000c86e3ff0eb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/12/2021 Сначала боялся, что не разберусь с настройками. Оказалось ничего сложного. Потом не понял, почему после ввода слова не активна кнопка "продолжить". Почитал отзывы и нашел решение. Надо ставить пробел после слова. Расширение работает только на сайте https://www.duolingo.com/ Приятно, что не нужно переключать раскладки клавиатуры. А это бывает напрягает, когда их три ;-)

Kurtis Miller (ID: 0000008da36cc043) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/05/2021 This is a great extension! I use it for greek and hebrew duolingo. Works flawlessly, as far as I expect or am aware! Question: Why doesn't caps lock work with the greek alphabet?
