ProWritingAid

“Just made the switch from Grammarly, and all I can say is, wow! It doesn't just give you fish; it actually teaches you what bait to use, where to go, when to go, and what rod is best for your grip. ”

“I'm a Scrivener fan but wanted to try the ProWritingAid add-on to Scrivener. It's pretty bad tbh. The rephrasing options are terrible; they are based only on the sentence, missing context and voice completely. Not worth a subscription and buying AI tokens. The prompts to think about your story are useful as is the timer.”

“I've been using ProWritingAid for a few years, and I love it. It's super helpful to get my grammar right, but also taught me to write better with less throat clearing and fluff.”

“This is a rather incompetent tool that made considerably more errors with its suggestions than it fixed. It has no awareness of dialogue or context. It tries to force gender neutral language even when specifically referring to a man or woman. Despite setting it to British English, it still tries to force American spelling and grammar conventions. ”

“I have lifetime premium and I don’t have a pay wall. I get a chapter critique per day and the information is all there. Maybe you’re thinking of the manuscript analysis feature or the beta reader feature? You do have to pay more for those, so I could see them as being paywalls.”

“Edit: I need to set the story straight. Ignore this. I was able to get some help. Had to use Chat GPT because I could get the right answer, but its fixed now. The chapter critique is not stuck behind the pay wall. I was getting a 'sample'. Im sorry for the confusion I have caused. Im sorry Pro Writing Aid. I bought the life time premium based on the suggestion of a friend and based on what it clearly states you get from the list of services. One issue has completely negated any feel goods I got ”

“That's odd and interesting at the same time. I paid for a year of top shelf app, and it gives me 3 chapters per day (analysis) and also gave me a coupon for a full manuscript analysis. I'd find it weird that a lifetime sub comes with paywalls like that, when a simple annual model gives apparently much more. As for what's good about PWA -- too much to list. Like others have said, though reductive, it's a souped up, roided out spellchecker. The modules they have are fantastic, but not all hit the ”

“Been using it for years. I think I got a lifetime deal a long time ago and its been so useful since then. Especially as it can open your Scrivener projects directly which saves a lot of copy/paste back and forth. The analysis and feedback is super useful. Always need to apply discretion about its recommendations and use common sense about how much time you want to really spend fixing every single active/passive voice instance vs just accepting that sometimes your writing works as-is. Most import”

“This software integrates with everything and makes my writing so much better. I use it many times every day and keep it connected to all of my writing tool. The simple icon makes it easy to use or remove from any application and the customer support is top notch. No issues to date - I have been using it for quite a while without having any problems. Real time spelling and grammar checker.”

“THEY TOOK MY MONEY BUT I CAN'T LOG ON!!! 3 DAYS OF TRYING EVERTHING-ENGLISH SHIT!!!”

“Of the many editing programs I've tried, I found PWA the easiest and most thorough. I send all my manuscripts through it and depend on PWA to catch my errors and omissions. It works fast, dependable, and not only fixes my writing, but I learn from their hints as well. I can't think of another editing aid as efficient and easy to use. Hmm, I'd like them to add a feature to sell my novels, too. ;-) Rewriting and editing one's work takes a long, long time. PWA cuts that time down to a fraction of w”

“My biggest problem with all these programs is hoping you can run your whole story or book and they aren’t robust enough to handle a lot of text. It’s mostly 8-10,000 words.”

“Hi fellow freelancers, just wondering if anybody had any suggestions for alternatives to ProWritingAid? I've been using it for years, but they've recently changed the UI again, which makes it even clunkier than before. That's the last straw for me, as the quality has gone down year after year. I predominantly use PWA for spell checking/grammar checking Wordpress posts in Chrome, but I also edit documents inside Microsoft Word. I'd prefer something that has a browser and Word plugin, to avoid cop”

“I love how easy it was to integrate ProWritingAid to Word and Google Chrome. I use it all the time and don't write anything without it, from fiction novels to cover letters. The numerous features help with keeping my voice consistent and my words running smoothe. I don't have a whole lot to dislike. It's not super great at context for a sentence with fiction, but it's still a great tool. Sometimes I ramble. Sometimes I start sentences with the same word over and over. And sometimes, it's about c”

“I love that it integrates so easily with my writing programs, especially since they have recently improved their Scrivener integration. Since commas are my nemesis, PWA helps enormously with making my writing clean. I use it mostly for grammar and punctuation, but I also use it sometimes for style, such as finding repetitive sentence starts, passive sentences, and crisper wording. I love that it gives suggestions for alternatives when it comes to style. It doesn't just find things that could be ”
