Hello all. Anyone had any experience with Grammarly or equivalent services?

@Munish Grammarly has worked great for me. I have a subscription via work. Missing comma in compound sentence seems to be my most common mistake.

@Munish I have restarted using Grammarly and think it’s a brilliant service. Not sure of anything equivalent. I guess Grammarly is good at what they do.

@Dino @Gaby @ridwan @pratik cheers all. Hemingway app is good & Ulysses. Found that they are review differently though. Grammarly is so expensive!

@pratik I know that one as well :-D

@Munish, I use it as well. It helps me with my writing, but I would love if it had an API, so I could stop using the web editor. If you have a lot of quotes in your text it’s a pain as you can not mark them as excluded from the correction.

@Munish it is expensive. Not sure I would use it if my work didn’t pay for it. We got a bulk rate.

@Munish Not sure how much Grammarly Premium is, to be honest?

@V_ interesting. I just checked out language tool. They have an api

@ridwan I think it’s about £100 a year

@Dino Never heard of Hemingway app. Looks cool.

@Munish Woah! That’s dear. 🤣

@Munish I had Grammarly for a year, but I got annoyed that it had no proper Mac app, only a web/electron wrapper. I don’t particularly like Hemingway as it is not proactive enough for me. These days I use Ulysses which uses LanguageTool in the background and I really like it.

@Munish Using ProWriting Aid. In my experience, it’s a little smarter than Grammarly. Has an interface with Word, Google Docs, and works with IA Writer and Scrivener. It’s not correcting this note - so look out for typos!

@yatil thanks for this. I may have to give this approach a go. The thing is, I do not fully use Ulysses, as prefer iA writer.

@gpittman these are the features in love too. There is so much difference between the different applications, it is hard to know which one to go with. It will always come down to accessibility and cost.

@gpittman I’ve used both quite a lot and also an app called Ginger. I work in IA Writer and Scrivener and ProWritingAid can grab those files, help with corrections, and pop them right back into IA Writer or Scrivener. Magic. It also has a style checker that can save me from myself — helping me craft better sentences.

@docuguy @gpittman @yatil @ridwan @pratik @V_ @Dino @Gaby a lot of options. Thanks for your input.

@Munish thanks for the recomendation, but it looks like I would need to pay seperatly for the API access. But it’s good to know there are alternatives.

@V_ 👍
