![]() But ProWritingAid and its 20+ categories for examination and recommendation sure gets pretty close. And it’s true that no program can ever replace a human proofreader (or your own proofreading eyes), as no machine understands every context in which your writing may demonstrate. Fortunately, a tool like ProWritingAid shortcuts the learning and application process by making suggestions wherever it detects a problem with your mechanics. Okay, now see what I did there? Yes, knowing the rules of grammar is necessary if you want to proofread well because bad knowledge leads to worse presentation. Without a solid examination of the final product, statements become questions without notice? See what I did there. One component of that final phase is proofreading, which is essentially the wax to a washed car, if a car were a piece of writing (and a metaphor). Writing is a process that requires many disciplines, from planning, to drafting, to editing. Perfect Your Language Perfectly (but this program might tell you not to phrase it that way) While the language advice and the correction improvements you get recommended are helpful, you're better off using Grammarly or another alternative if you're reviewing long chunks of text in one go and don't want to constantly copy-paste from Word to their interface and back which is a pain if you have to do that daily like myself. You end up wasting a ton of your time and accomplish nothing at all. I've been using the Word add-on for over three months now and if you want to use most of the tools on more than 800 words, the tool simply can't handle the 'load.' Usually, it breaks off after a minute or so and you can run the check again which normally doesn't help. If you need a short-term solution, then by all means go for it but don't pay a buck for actually using the SW. Sharing my two cents about ProWritingAid that I purchased a lifetime licence for: If you're reviewing texts about 300 - 400 words in length at maximum, you'll be happy with the tool. They use, copy editors, or whatever it takes to get the job done.Great Tool for Extremely Short Texts, Monumental Fail Otherwise Professionals who haven't mastered writing skills on their own yet still produce standard written grammar. ![]() I recognize there are people with learning disabilities, and people who are learning the language.
