Grammarly

Overview

Grammarly checks spelling, grammar, punctuation and style as you write. It runs in a browser extension, desktop apps and common web editors, and flags issues with short explanations so you can accept or ignore each suggestion. Newer AI features add tone adjustments and text generation on top of the core checker. It suits students, professionals and anyone who writes a lot of email or documents in English and wants a second pass before sending. It is not a substitute for careful editing of technical or highly specialised text, and its tone and clarity suggestions are advisory rather than authoritative. A free tier covers basic checks, while the premium plan adds deeper style and AI features.
