What the Grammar checker does

Paste your writing and get a table of every grammar, spelling and punctuation error: the phrase as you wrote it, the corrected phrase, and the rule in one sentence you can reuse. Then the patterns that repeat, so you fix the habit and not just the sentence. It never rewrites your work.

Paste the piece and press Check it. Back comes a table with one row per error: the phrase exactly as you wrote it, the corrected phrase, and the rule in a sentence you can reuse next time. Spelling, agreement, tense, run-ons, comma splices, apostrophes, capitalization and word choice.

It is for the last pass before you hand something in, and for the essay that came back covered in marks you do not fully understand. It checks; it does not rewrite. Your voice and your argument are left alone.

More about the Grammar checker

After the table comes the part most checkers skip: the patterns. If four of your errors are the same comma splice, it says so, because the habit is what needs fixing, not the four sentences. For short pieces it finishes with the corrected text, with nothing changed but the corrections.

Every row can be questioned in the same chat. Ask why a comma goes there, ask for three more examples of the rule, or ask it to check the next paragraph. Photograph a handwritten page if that is what you have.

Why ours is better

1

It shows the rule, not just the fix.

A checker that silently corrects teaches nothing. Here every correction carries its reason in plain words, so the next draft needs it less.

2

It never rewrites your work.

Rewrites change your voice and get flagged. This one changes only what is wrong and leaves the rest exactly as you wrote it.

3

It finds the habit.

The patterns section is the feedback a good teacher writes in the margin, and it is why the same mistake stops appearing.

How it was built

The checker is a mode of the same component that grades essays and solves homework, so the photo button, the follow-ups and the free allowance are the ones tested everywhere else. Its instructions quote the smallest phrase containing each error, because a correction you cannot find in your own text is useless.

Longer writing is routed to a stronger model than a quick question gets, using the same measured routing as the rest of the product. Nothing you paste is used to train anything, and a guest can use it before creating an account.

A free account keeps your questions together by class, remembers what you have covered, and gives you a weekly allowance rather than a daily one.
