   Readable, Quick and Easy to Use

   I've tried other proofreading programs and found them to be very limited. ProWritingAid is the only program I know of that has a built-in grammar checker. Also, the free version has a lot of features that paid versions don't have, so I highly recommend it. This program is great for students who want to improve their writing skills. It's especially helpful for those who write in other languages, because the grammar checker can help you spot errors in your translations.

   A great product to help you improve your English

   This software is great for all of my writing projects and I love that I can use it for business and personal. I recommend it for all of my clients who need proofreading and editing help. I use this software for all of my writing projects, whether I am proofing my own work or that of my clients. I can use this software to easily check my grammar, spelling, and consistency, and provide feedback. This software helps me to become a better writer!

• Grammarly told me that my writing is "a bit bland"

  For fun I use I Write Like, it analyzes your writing and tells you the closest match to a published author. Source: about 2 years ago

• Different "styles" of writing.

  When I let this bot analyze my writing ( https://iwl.me ), the most frequent result I get is that I write like Agatha Cristie. There are 50 authors you could possibly be matched with and I would have thought I might be more likely to be matched with Rowling or Gaiman or even Doyle... But I think every time but once it's matched me with her. :). Source: over 2 years ago

• So what does "no nonsense" mean?

  In another thread today, about the I Write Like (iwl.me) website, a lot of people were likened to Agatha Christie, me included. I don't care for Christie, but I do like the idea of "no nonsense," but I'm not sure what it means. It just feels good. Can someone give some examples of writing which does incorporate "nonsense?".

  Back in 2019, I made an advanced MS Word add-in spellchecker that integrates the ProWritingAid API to spot all the errors in an interactive way where you just hover over a misspelled word or an incorrect expression and a popup shows at the mouse pointer's position where you can quickly correct the word with suggestions, or open a task pane on the right side of the active document for more advanced features.

  ProWritingAid: Includes all the features of Hemingway, plus much much more. Grammar checking, word echo checking, style checking, passive voice monitoring, etc, etc. ProWritingAid is a really powerful piece of editing software. Honestly, a little too much for some folks, imho. If you do end up picking this one, I'd recommend choosing a few editing features to use- using too many would cut into your author voice,...
