Grammarly in Search But Nowhere Else

I noticed my Grammarly icon popped up when I was writing a search, which was new and exciting.

But it doesn't work in Notes, Sermon Builder, or Bible Study Builder. I assume if it was intentional, it would have been in the release notes, but partial access is confusing and will probably frustrate users. Only letting third-party grammar checkers work where they are least useful just seems mean. 😂

    I wonder if it is related to the update in beta 1: "Assistive technology no longer requires accessibility features to be explicitly turned on." Maybe Grammarly accesses content the same way that assistive technology does and I just didn't notice until now, assuming that assistive software doesn't work for the other things I mentioned either.

    This is mostly correct. When we made the listed change, it added support to limited portions of the app on Windows to support Grammarly. This was not our primary goal, but a happy side effect. However, adding support across the app, and especially to our rich text editors, would require more work, but we definitely understand the value that integrating with tools like Grammarly would bring.
