Quick Answer

Is my text private? Yes — all checking happens in your browser. Your writing is never stored or transmitted, making it safe for confidential documents.

Frequently Asked Questions

The checker detects spelling errors, grammar mistakes (subject-verb agreement, tense issues, article usage), punctuation problems, and style issues (passive voice, wordiness, cliches). Each category is highlighted differently for easy identification.

Currently the tool focuses on English (US and UK variants). Select your preferred English variant to get region-appropriate spelling suggestions (color vs colour, organize vs organise).

No. Text processing happens in your browser. Your writing is not stored, transmitted, or used for any purpose. This makes it safe for checking confidential documents, emails, or sensitive content.

Grammar rules have exceptions. Creative writing, technical jargon, proper nouns, or intentional style choices may trigger false positives. Review each suggestion and ignore those that do not apply to your context.

Paste your text directly into the checker. For Word documents, copy the text (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C) and paste. For PDFs, use a PDF reader to select and copy text, or use our Plain Text Extractor tool first.

Troubleshooting

No errors detected but I know there are some
Some subtle errors require context beyond what automated tools can analyze. The checker catches common issues but is not a replacement for human proofreading. Consider reading your text aloud.
Too many suggestions making text hard to read
Adjust the sensitivity settings. Turn off style suggestions if you only need spelling and grammar. Focus on one category of errors at a time.
Proper nouns flagged as misspelled
Names, brands, and technical terms may not be in the dictionary. Dismiss these suggestions or add them to your personal dictionary if the tool supports it.
