Best AI Proofreader for Non-Native English Speakers: Grammarly, QuillBot, Engram, ProWritingAid, Ginger, Trinka [Updated 2023]

1

Grammarly

The free version is highly limited; advanced suggestions for sentence structure and vocabulary enhancement plus access to the full online editor with more detailed explanations and suggestions are only available with Grammarly Premium. The feedback can be overwhelming at times, and it may miss context-specific errors in complex writing.

QuillBot

Some technical issues with copy-pasting text or the Chrome extension require time to troubleshoot. The grammar checker has limited features compared to QuillBot's paraphrasing tool, but the paraphraser is more likely to alter the original meaning of the text, and thus requires more manual editing to restore the original meaning.

ProWritingAid

Score: 4/10. The free version of ProWritingAid failed to resolve basic grammar and punctuation issues and advanced structure issues. The resulting sentences are not much of an improvement from the original ones and require further proofreading. None of them would have been produced by a native speaker.

Ginger

The grammar checker purely checks for grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes, and won't correct advanced phrasing or sentence structure issues. You'd have to use it in conjunction with the Rephrase feature. On its own, the accuracy is quite low. The user interface may be confusing at first: after pressing Correct, Ginger automatically applies edits to your text and shows them to you with color-coding. Then, you can check each edit and decide to undo it or not, as well as double click to accept all active edits.

Trinka AI

Score: 6/10. The free version of Trinka resolved basic issues but missed some advanced phrasing and structure issues. About half of the sentences are an improvement, and half require further proofreading. Sentence three is no longer valid, and sentences one and two still don't sound like a native speaker would've produced them.

Engram

Engram is the only AI proofreader on this list optimized for non-native speakers to produce the most natural phrasing. The user experience is more detail-oriented, as users can access all basic and advanced suggestions, see the color-coded changes to the text after accepting suggestions, and even undo suggestions. Suggestions also come with similar sentences that show the sentence structure used in other contexts.
