These Alternatives to Grammarly Work (4 Other Ways to Toast the Typos!)
Most writers have at least heard of Grammarly, the instant grammar checker that goes through your stories, and suggests how to correct your mechanics, clarity, and typos.
Online writer’s groups rave about the software, “Grammarly is king!” and “Grammarly’s the best!” are phrases I see daily. And I agree.
Grammarly is easy; you upload or copy and paste your words into the program, then it highlights potential issues. Then you scroll through and choose or reject each suggestion. A monkey could use it.
You can also download the Chrome extension that suggests edits as you write on Google Docs and compose emails.
It’s a good program, and I invested in the premium version instead of just the free version because I like the advanced settings that brush up my mechanics and clarity.
But even though I’m a Grammarly fan, I’ve discovered that these alternatives work too.
Hemingway
Hemingway is another EXCELLENT grammar program! Unlike Grammarly, this site highlights your text and labels your easy and hard to read sentences.
It also identifies sneaky adverbs and passive voice.
