It’s a great tool, but should definitely not be used on its own, and its recommendations don’t apply for all document types, so make sure you understand why it’s making the suggestions it does before applying them.

It provides you with some advanced English writing tips, such as showing you when you’re using the passive voice in your writing, or when your sentences are too long to follow. Hemmingway is a service I’ve just found out about recently. These features are built with nonnative English speakers in mind to help train English learners in the language as they write, so if you’re not a native speaker this may be worth a look! Ginger’s main features are word prediction, grammar checker, sentence rephraser, dictionary, text reader, personal trainer, translator, smart word prediction, and emoji. Ginger is a little behind Grammarly when it comes to usability and accuracy of edits, as far as the grammar checker goes. It’s definitely better than nothing, but it’s far from perfect!Īnother automated, paid service, Ginger is a little cheaper, with its premium service costing $14.60 per month. It’s also important to note that Grammarly is an automated software, and as such, is prone to making incorrect recommendations, and will also likely miss some mistakes in your writing. However this accuracy comes with a price, as a monthly subscription with Grammarly is $29.95 per month (less on annual or quarterly plans). Grammarly is somewhat similar to the spelling and grammar checker you might find on Microsoft word, but it catches more errors, and is generally more descriptive in explaining your writing errors. There are a lot of these checkers (and a few more are mentioned below), but Grammarly is the best I’ve found. Grammarly is an automated online proofreading service that corrects your spelling and grammar mistakes online. But, that’s still better than using nothing at all! It can also be hard to tell how to fix the problem areas these softwares show, because often their suggestions change the intended meaning of your writing.

And, if you’re a non-native English speaker, it can be hard to distinguish what mistakes actually need to be changed, and which are so called “false positives”.

If you use these only these services, you’re writing is still likely to be left with some serious mistakes. Keep in mind that no automated editor is perfect. While most aren’t even as good as what you would find on Microsoft Word or any other text editor with a spell check function, these two are worth checking out. In the world of hundreds of automated grammar checkers, two stand out of the pack for me. Rather than talk about ALL the many proofreading tools out there, I’m going to talk about the ones that are (in my experience) the best! These tools will help you write error free articles, every time.
