Grammarly Software Review

Grammarly is a great writing tool that helps content creators/writers to improve their writing. Since I use Grammarly often and find it extremely useful  I have decided to write a Grammarly Software Review to help content creators to know what they can expect from this tool.

It identifies punctuation, grammar, and spelling errors in writing and suggests ways in which a writer may restructure sentences.

Grammarly often works as an add-on in your browser.

 My Experience With Grammarly

I started using Grammarly in August 2020 to help to identify spelling and grammatical errors. I installed it as an add-on in my Mozilla Firefox Browser. I found the software to be un-intrusive, simply underlining errors throughout the page. The errors will remain like that until I was ready to fix them.

When it was time to make corrections, the errors were easily corrected by clicking on the underlined words to see the Grammarly suggestion for change. I also enjoy the fact that my tone was often displayed in photographic form, helping me to understand the impression I am leaving with my readers. Lastly, I periodically receive written documentation of my writing stats.

Pros

The explanations of errors are pretty straightforward, easy to understand, and correct. The package offered in the free version is good enough for the average user making it a great free tool for your business.

The cost for the pro package is low and therefore easily affordable.

Cons

There are a few instances where the suggestion being made is incorrect. I would say that this tool is about 98% accurate.

Conclusion

In spite of the fact that I found this tool to be less than 100% accurate, it is accurate enough. I find it invaluable and wouldn’t dream of writing without it. I would recommend it to all content creators/authors.

If you are an author I’d suggest that the premium package may best fit your needs.
