Grammarly can also be used to check a Word document for plagiarism, although Microsoft is planning to introduce a similar service for web users in the future.
It’ll also tell you if your writing is easy to read, offering suggestions on word sentencing and style. You can use Grammarly to set goals based on your writing to help you write in a certain style (for instance, article or academic writing). For instance, it has a tone detection tool that analyses your writing to tell you if it seems serious, chatty, or casual. Grammarly will try to correct your writing, but it goes much further than just spellchecking your work. While Microsoft Editor is a new product and something that will likely grow and develop alongside Microsoft’s existing Office apps, it doesn’t yet have the features and capabilities that Grammarly has built over the last few years. It offers basic grammar and spelling corrections, as well as suggestions on how to improve the style of your writing and rework lengthy sentences, among other features. Like Grammarly, it’s also offered as an extension for Chrome and Microsoft Edge, allowing you to correct errors on the web. On the other side, Microsoft Editor is packaged with Microsoft 365 as a tool for refining your writing in Word and Outlook.
