ProWritingAid
@ProWritingAidBot
FreeEN
Checks grammar, spelling and style in English and answers with the corrected text. Built around the ProWritingAid engine, it goes further than a speller - it flags wordy, repetitive and passive sentences.
Key features
- Grammar and spelling in English
- Style flags for passive voice and repetition
- Returns the corrected text, not just a verdict
- Works on a pasted paragraph
What ProWritingAid does
A speller finds the word that does not exist; this one finds the sentence that works but should not have been written that way. Send a paragraph and it comes back with grammar and spelling fixed and the stylistic weak points marked - the passive constructions, the repeated phrases, the sentence that runs for forty words.
That makes it a different tool from a group spellchecker. It is for text you are about to publish in English - a cover letter, a post, documentation - where the reader is a stranger and clumsy phrasing costs you more than a typo.
Note that the bot carries the name of a well-known writing service, and its ownership is not publicly confirmed. Treat the checking as useful and do not paste anything confidential into it.

FAQ
How is it different from a spell checker?
A spell checker marks wrong words; this one also marks correct sentences that read badly - passive voice, repetition, excessive length.
Can I use it for text in other languages?
No, the engine behind it is built for English. Use a language-specific checker instead.
