Although all these tools are very effective and helpful in discerning a spelling and grammatical mistake in an article, I should still say that human effort is always superior to a machine.

Manual Proofreading

We must proofread our written article at least 4 times. And the fourth proofread should be performed after a little gap between two previous ones.

Read experienced bloggers’ articles thoroughly

Review and analyze the writing styles of famous and reputed writers and learn from their article writing. It will help replace your crude writing style.

    I am facing the problem of my subordinates having a lot of spelling and grammatical mistakes and their writing and writing articles being the primary objective if the job creates a bad impression on the mind of the clients whom I send the items too. And sometimes I have to correct the reports myself, and this is annoying to correct someone else's article.
  2. Kevin Martineau says:
    Great tips! These sites look very helpful. I am going to check out a few of them. Thanks!
  3. Mani Viswanathan says:
    After the Deadline rocks :) I will give a try to Typing Assisant. Looks a good tool since it's Compatible with WLW.
  4. Bican Valeriu says:
    English is not my native. I really want to try this ...So, wich is the best ?
  5. Alex says:
    Thanks Shariq, I often have problems with some of the words that are harder to write, especially because I am not a native english speaking person. But, after years of practice I started to write better and better, although I still have problems in expressing myself the right way, I do know the words but I can't put them together in order to express myself so that everyone can understand me.
  6. Steve says:

    Thanks for sharing these resources. I am always looking for great tools to help with content editing. I haven't seen most of these before.

    Hi Shariq, Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I may have to try some of these tools. I wonder if they work for live applications such commenting on blogs. This will save me spell checking in Word. Alex Papa
  11. Tanya says:
    I am an alright spelling but I do make a ton of grammatical mistakes. I'm going to check this out. Thanks!
  12. Paul Salmon says:
    I'm not the greatest speller, so I have been relying on Firefox's spell checker. Grammar is another issue, and until now I haven't had a tool that can tackle that issue for me. I'll have to check out the applications you have listed. Out of them, which one would you recommend the most?
  13. Sandeep says:
    After the deadline is no doubt the best... i've been using it from the time it was launched and it seems to be getting better all the time.. I guess they were the original guys who came up with this idea.. not sure though..
  14. Harsh Agrawal says:
    Good list Shariq.. I have been using After the deadline plugin for long and must say it's very useful for proofreading and finding possible mistakes.. Though it's not 100% accurate all the time but it's one of the best free tool available in the market.
    • Shariq says:
      I am 100% agree with you because After the deadline is really a free premium tool and it helps a lot in writing error free articles. But if the misspelled word also has a meaning and exists in the dictionary, this tool fails to recognize it.
  15. Moosa Hemani says:
    Thank you! and i really mean it this is not the casual thank you that people write at the end of post in the comment box to get some shitty links no! This Thank you is there because i really mean it! I am a writer and write for industry and other (personal stuff) as well and this toll will allow me to get away from my grammar errors and now i might didn't have to recheck things again and again!

      I love your appreciation.
  16. Shiva says:
    Well, for spelling mistakes..Firefox's Internal Spell Checker tool does a pretty decent job but yes for grammar we need something more and also if we are using some other browsers like Chrome. I think the plugins that you have mentioned are some good ones, I will certainly check them out
    • Shariq says:
      After the Deadline is much better than Firefox’s Internal Spell Checker.
  17. Atulperx says:
    I am using whitesmoke from last few months , so I can check all articles delivered to me are perfect . I offer article submission services and it is necessary to check onetime for my clients and I am satisfied from this software . But thanks for sharing that firefox plugin . I will add it in my Mozilla for sure .
    • Shariq says:
      Thanks for your appreciation and I also like Whitesmoke.
