Grammarly working with OneStream XF

I was curious to find out if there is a way to have Grammarly work with OneStream XF in order to get real time spellcheck and grammar check for narratives and annotations.

  • If by "realtime" you mean "as you type"... As far as I'm aware there are no options, from Onestream's side, to let third-parties hook into interface elements of the Windows App. This said, I have no idea how Grammarly for Windows works, you might have to ask them.

    One workaround, assuming Grammarly works in Excel, is to provide the relevant forms as Excel sheets.

    There is always the option to post-process text through event-handlers (e.g. on submit). Not as immediate as as-you-type, but still potentially useful.
