Proofreading Software

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

Proofreading Software

Post by alwaysdaddygirl »

Aloha,

I have dsylexia, learning disability, and lisp. My disabilities do not define me.

Which software are recommended for proofreading and grammar, please? My school would not check this. It is not releated to my class.

With my internship, my email interviews are edited for me. I understand not everyone does this with people like me.

Do you know of any folks that have good, reasonable price proofreading small business? If so, what are the websites.

Blessings

Aloha,

Mahalo. Word does not catch my errors. Not being rude, but one of my teachers stated to use more then just Word for grammar, etc. He advised all students this.

My writing tutors do not like Ginger. I normally use my school to check papers. This review they will not check because it not classed releated.

I will try to figure out something. I will do my best with proofreading for book reviews.

Blessings

Even though I don't make that many mistakes and type fast, I swear by proofreading software. I am just waiting for a sort of easy to use program to come along eventually.

I use an app called Grammarly. It's amazing, it can correct your grammar mistakes and punctuation marks. I recommend it.

Word spellcheck is terrible. As a resident in Spain, I sometimes write in Spanish and my spellchecker doesn´t seem to code switch like me, I´m always putting problemas in my English emails!

I second the post about grammarly. I haven´t used it much but what I have seen, I have liked.

Use grammarly and hemingway app :) I don't know if there's a site for them though :/
But as someone whose first language (nor second language) is English, I always use that app :)
Hemingway even tells you if it thinks you've been using a phrase or word too much :)

Grammarly worked for me. It's both online and for desktops as well.
