How does It work?
So as written earlier, Grammarly uses a special technology she has developed, to provide you with insights into the same English text content.
The technology is an artificial intelligence of the system, which knows how to easily and in real-time detect common errors of writing content and text in English. These errors have been pre-defined by experts and professionals in the field so that this is reliable and professional information.
The system then presents all the errors it has detected and offers the best alternative to the error it has found while explaining why it is an error and presenting an example of the correct correction for the error.
For example, for spelling errors, the system displays the standard word that you tried to write. The system then checks again whether the same word corresponds to the meaning of the sentence to understand whether the sentence is perfectly legible and correct.
What features and suggestions are there?
Grammarly knows how to offer you suggestions for improving the writing, features, and correction of various errors. In fact, these are the errors in the system:
