Ginger Chrome Web Extension
Download the extension from the Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kdfieneakcjfaiglcfcgkidlkmlijjnh
In addition, Safari and Firefox standalone extensions are currently in the works and will be released soon. For our loyal Mac users, these extensions move us one step towards integrating Ginger Software with the Mac.
We hope you’ll enjoy this new feature and help us spread the word to your family and friends!

Hi Collin, the Chrome extension of Ginger should run on Gmail.
We’ve uploaded a video link for more info on how to utilize the extension best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrVzuYtSIOU.Do check if Ginger Software is opened and running when you press F2. If you still encounter the same problem, then it is most likely a technical issue. Kindly drop us a message on our technical support page and we’ll resolve your issue asap.

I have the same problem as Colin. The You Tube video does not bring me any further than I got already. I cannot use it on gmail in Chrome.

The Chrome extension is a wonderful addition. What sets GINGER apart is the ability to offer words with definitions… This allows one to work out the right word on the spot.
As far as I can tell, this feature is missing from the extension.
Do you plan to make this a part of the extension soon or have you decided to not include it?
-
Hi Bill, we have no concrete plans of adding this feature on the extension as of now. But we’re always receiving feedback, and it could be possible to have this feature added to the extension if it serves to benefit our users. Thanks for the feedback!

Is there an alternative to pressing the f2 button seeing how that button is what turns my wifi off on my dell laptop. Thanks.

Hi George,
You can always use the seamless mode- the green underlines that appear once there is a mistake in the text.
Right click the green underline to receive corrections, and click again to approve them.You can always contact us at suppot@gingersoftware.com

This pop-up for ginger shows up on every page I go to. Is there any way to get rid of this thing? I am sick of clicking it out of the way all the time. I am about ready to get rid of google altogether. Sickening! Jerks!

Hi Zeddock,
Thank you for your feedback and input! We really appreciate it. =)
We’re constantly improving the product by finding out what our valued customers want and need.
We’ll take your feedback into consideration in our subsequent re-iterations.
I have added the extention to Google Chrome and have the green tick up in the top right hand corner but i don’t know how to actually use it. i.e. when typing this comment can i use it, when writting an e-mail in g-mail can i use it? If so, how? I have installed the full version also and when i press F2 it says application not supported.
