Grammarly is a digital writing tool that uses artificial intelligence and natural language processing to enable users to compose clear, simplified, mistake-free writing in English.
It offers real-time suggestions and corrections for grammar, spelling, punctuation, clarity, engagement, and style as users type in various applications, such as web browsers, word processors, email clients, and more.
Grammarly is available as a desktop app, web-based application, browser extension, mobile app, and as a plugin for a variety of applications, including Gmail, Google Docs, Microsoft Word, and Slack.
Grammarly had over 30 million active users worldwide and it had gained immense popularity among individuals, students, professionals, writers, and businesses who seeking to improve their writing and communication skills.
The Grammarly browser extension works seamlessly with several popular applications including LinkedIn, Gmail, Twitter, Yahoo, Salesforce, Medium, and Jira, to mention a few, so users get text corrections and suggestions right in the writing editor of whatever editing environment they are in within their Google Chrome or Firefox browser.
The extension sits at the bottom of your writing text editor where you can click on it to expand Grammarly’s editor, interact with its tone editor, or switch the indicator off. You can get corrections without registering an account with Grammarly but you will get the most out of it with a user account and it is completely free.
Grammarly also has an extra feature that allows its users to determine the tone of their writings to give an intended impression. As a user, you can see whether your texts sound formal, friendly, or optimistic and to what extent they do so that you can make changes to fit your target audience.
