“I like the spell check in general but I do use it in conjunction with Grammarly free and just use my own knowledge to accept or deny suggestions. Most of them are ok but sometimes I disagree with suggestions. One thing that I do find really helpful is that it can help me write in US or UK English as I'm an Australian writer. ”

“This feature is the bread and butter of editing, and ProWritingAid does it EXTREMELY well. With that in mind though, it has the tendency to miss some things that other softwares pick up. Which is why I always run it through PWA first, then through other softwares like word or Grammarly. ”

“It highlights when the punctuation is inconsistent. Very useful when dealing with dialogue, and especially if an author forgets to close punctuation marks as a tic of theirs. I particularly like how it shows when curly or straight speech marks and apostrophes have been used. ”

“To use a semicolon or not to use a semicolon. THAT is the question! As with the Grammar Check, ProWriting Aid has extensive articles and explanations on the topic. So, if it does flag a sentence for poor punctuation, you can learn why and improve your writing on the spot! ”

“Extremely helpful to notice poor writing style habits. It warns you about style, rather than marking it as "wrong", leaving the decision up to you. It means you can still maintain a personal style without feeling like it's wrong to do so.”
