Check language and dialect together

Proofreading covers more than 30 languages and dialects, with checks for spelling, punctuation, grammar, and style. English variants include US, UK, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, and South African usage, helping a manuscript follow the conventions of its intended edition.

The depth of checking varies by language; enhanced Premium checks are available for a smaller set of languages.

Find another way through an awkward sentence

Rephrasing offers fluent, concise, formal, simple, and general alternatives. These controls give the author a specific direction for revision, such as reducing the length of a paragraph's key sentence or making an explanation easier to follow. Rephrasing supports six languages, fewer than the proofreading checker.

Paraphrasing and writing integrations

Bring the checker into familiar documents

Browser add-ons and integrations for Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice, and Apple Pages let the editing support accompany the draft. Desktop and iOS apps provide other entry points, so the same language choices can carry into articles, correspondence, and web copy.

Make the suggestions fit the project

A personal dictionary can recognize names and terminology that recur in a book. Premium's style guide adds custom rules, while Picky Mode brings additional style and punctuation issues into view. Team plans extend this to a shared dictionary and style guide for authors working with collaborators.
