I haven't used other tools, but the simplicity and instant usability of Grammarly alone is what makes it so that I don't even need to look for another similar tool.
Compared to the ProWritingAid, Grammarly helps me with ease of use, real-time suggestions, tone, and clarity suggestions, and integration with other platforms provides cost v/s features above all.
While DeepSeek (or similar tools) is effective for specific use cases like sentence rephrasing or creative localization, Grammarly offers a more comprehensive and versatile solution for businesses. Its advanced features, integrations, and focus on professionalism make it the …
Once installed, Grammarly's proofreading abilities across all platforms (email, text, WordPress, etc.) are easy and intuitive. I don't even know if these other AI tools have that ability.
I believe that both Grammarly and ProWritingAid are excellent tools that complement each other well. It would be fantastic to see an integration that combines the strengths of both. ProWritingAid provides comprehensive reports that are incredibly helpful. These reports …
I found that ProWritingAid is harder to use than Grammarly and that some of its tips are too technical.
QuillBot was helpful for rewording sentences, but it didn’t check grammar as well as Grammarly does. It’s also not as strong when editing an entire document. In my opinion, …
Grammarly makes it seamless to check your writing. Performance wise, they are about the same. But to use ChatGPT for checking writing, it required you to manually put the text in. It also doesn't allow you to automatically make the changes. It only makes suggestions which you …
To be honest, I have used both and they are very similar. QuillBot has some nice features in their free plan, such as a sidebar rewrite tool, but Grammarly is cheaper. Grammarly has the same tool, but it is just easier to access and use within QuillBot. Overall, the price was …
Grammarly has a much more natural tone to suggestions. Often, when trying to rewrite an email or a letter/document with other products, it's hard to match those tones and still keep your document sounding authentic and with human empathy. Also, having the ability to make …
The only program I know of that is similar is the onboard Apple spell-check, which will often miss several things that Grammarly does not. I also use Google Docs, which is not nearly as helpful as Grammarly since you can use it anywhere. Docs also misses things that Grammarly …
Apple AI has a Grammarly-like product, we tried using it, but it's not overlaid on top, and you need to select the text and then wait for the recommendation. It's possible Apple AI may improve but I cannot imagine it ever directly competing with Grammarly.
Grammarly is easy to use and I like its suggestions. Other AI tools are better for generating text, but Grammarly is better at optimizing it and catching grammar mistakes. I also like that it has the extension which makes it easy to use Grammarly anywhere without having to sign …
It isn't listed but LanguageTool is very good and I prefer it for the fact you can use it in any platform I have found so far including agency analytics. Therefore, it is easier for me to suggest this as a toolbar add on to the team. It isn't currently listed on TrustRadius …
It's not a stack-up per se, but I use it side by side, which is very helpful. ChatGPT helps me by suggesting procedures, letters, and more. This is my go-to app for work.
Nothing comes close to Grammarly in terms of ease of use and quick setup. It practically works right out of the box without any rigorous configuration. It also allows you to pick a specific dialect which isn't available in other apps. And since Grammarly introduced AI features, …
The useability of Grammarly and the ability to get live feedback is much better than other programmes.
Other programmes prioritise AI to do the bulk of the writing. I like to do the bulk of the writing and let AI make suggestions; not the other way around.
We went with Grammarly over other online alternatives because of Grammarly's simple and easy to understand user interface. We feel like it was well equipped to deliver us the content and suggestions we needed without all of the extra fluff. It saves us time and isn't …
Read&Write has a lot more inclusive features then grammarly especially in terms of the picture dictionary and reading rulers and screen masking and the text to speech.
We are still learning how to use equatio. I am not a mathematician and therefore I am finding understanding it a bit more difficult. Once I understand how to use it I will be able to cascade it down. My hope is that it will be as useful as Read & Write.
Cowriter, Snap and Read, Clicker, Kurzweil None of those popped up. I know of the merger but I would say some of the big things that made me choose CoWriter or Snap and Read over Read&Write for students still haven’t moved over and I’m hoping that will happen with time. Things …
Early on our district was using Kurweil 3000 but that was restrictive to the computer that it was placed on. We also used co-writer (Don Johnson) for writing supports. By having both features available in one convenient toolbar along with other amazing features that follow the …
We still utilize Microsoft Immersive Reader as our Tier2 / UDL support tool. However, the word prediction is barely functional and there are confusing limitations to when certain tools are available (the picture dictionary is available in Word Online but not in Edge).
We use the screenshot reader often in our classes. Things like drama scripts, music sheets or other pdf's can be read online through the screenshot reader.
Read&Write measure up well against these but can be a little more expansive. It does have a bank of tools in the one place though which is a positive as it means that users do not need multiple programmes
Read&Write has the benefit of better word prediction than Helperbird. The word prediction is not as good as Co:Writer (due to volume of topics and web-scraped topics, and iPad app), but Read&Write killed Co:Writer so it is not a competitor anymore, unfortunately. I would choose …
Grammarly is a great tool that would work well for writers, business professionals, students, and more. The app is incredibly useful in helping to improve writing and offers tons of tools like idea generation, outline drafting, using a specific voice to reach your audience and checking for plagiarism, to name a few.
As I support students with SEN in a 6th Form College this is all of the time. A case is of a student who is going to university and who is going to claim DSA but needed to know what software would benefit them and how so that they could understand more fully before their assessment I was able to show them Read&Write and what it it could and would do for them on the course that they had chosen. The student was amazed and so much more confident in their chosen path that they would be able to achieve it independently.
Integration with existing tools - Grammarly works in practically all text areas across your browser, including email and things like Google Docs, etc.
Quality control - the meat of Grammarly is checking your text and writing in real-time, directly as you type. Most of the time, Grammarly provides very accurate recommendations and quality checks on your text.
Analytics and reporting - Grammarly sends regular updates via email about your usage statistics and other detailed info. This type of reporting can be very helpful in tracking your progress over time.
The lack of custom, web-scraped topics in word prediction has significantly impacted my students' ability to produce written work. I am extremely disappointed with the Read&Write - Co:Writer merger, and feel it was more of a "catch and kill" maneuver to eliminate a competing product that was, frankly, much better. Read&Write has rolled out topics from websites and documents recently, but this would require finding a website or document that has relevant vocabulary, which is inaccessible for most students, leaving them unable to effectively write.
The lack of keyboard shortcuts makes this tool inaccessible for many students using alternative access methods, such as using their AAC devices to access the tool
When accessing using switches or tab/enter alt-access, the visual feedback of where the selector is is very faint and hard to see, and not customizable. Generally the lack of visual customization, from changing the colors of the word prediction list, the size of the toolbar, etc, impacts access for students with sensory disabilities.
The audio playback does not work well in Gmail for reading email lists.
I have been extremely disappointed in the focus on acquiring new products under the Read&Write umbrella to the detriment of updating or improving existing products, such as deploying the AI voices in OrbitNote, the associated Read&Write PDF annotation program.
The "CheckIt" spell check feature often misses words that can be corrected by built-in spell check tools.
The lack of auditory chime when using the speech-to-text can make it difficult for some students to know when to start and stop speaking, influencing the accuracy of their prediction.
Either I'm as dumb as a bag of nails, or Grammarly has been an invaluable tool in our communication arsenal since we've been users since 2017. I don't recall which podcast we heard it on, but it may have been when Jordan Harbinger was on Art of Charm. I listen to about 8 podcasts a day, so it was probably on something I listened to, demo'd it, and then ponied up for a paid subscription.
I'm just really impressed with the software and the access it gives to learners who are used to coming up against barriers in education. It's a quick-fix for a learner - something they can access usefully and productively with very little training. I also love that learners can access Read&Write on their devices at home - that really is a game changer.
It was very easy. I have it applied to all of my browsers as an extension so that I know I have entirely accurate grammar in anything I write for my company. I appreciate having something that will always be applied to anything on my computer. I wish I didn't need to use the Grammarly keyboard on mobile; I want it to read my text boxes like my computer does.
I am giving this an 9. Not a perfect score because working on PDFs is better but not yet as easy as I need for it to be. Working with many students who have executive function challenges, I need a smooth simplistic access method. We are not quite there yet for writing on PDFs. Overall the toolbar on Read&Write is super easy to access and I love that the suite includes several tools on the toolbar providing a solution to many accessibility challenges.
I have not really used customer support. I used the FAQ page to see how to re-install Grammarly because it wasn't functioning properly in longer documents. It seems to be working better now, but it still does not always underline all of the issues in the actual text. Thus, it is sometimes difficult to know where the errors are located.
The support team at Texthelp is excellent. They're all super helpful and open to feedback and new ideas. Still, more importantly, they are ultimately fully committed to aligning with us and ensuring they help us provide the best education possible. Furthermore, they're open to new features and always communicate this incredibly well.
Perhaps if you have a team that is not overly computer savvy, which in that case, I'd challenge your hiring decision, there's not much involved. I'm sure there are YouTube videos that go in-depth about implementation but it's really quite simple.
It took a solid 2 weeks for R&W to work on our students chromebooks even after reaching out to tech support. The toolbar was greyed out and not accessible to students. Took a long time before tech support helped us solve this problem.
While DeepSeek (or similar tools) is effective for specific use cases like sentence rephrasing or creative localization, Grammarly offers a more comprehensive and versatile solution for businesses. Its advanced features, integrations, and focus on professionalism make it the preferred choice for organizations seeking to improve communication quality and consistency across teams.
We are still learning how to use Equatio. I am not a mathematician and therefore I am finding understanding it a bit more difficult. Once I understand how to use it I will be able to cascade it down. My hope is that it will be as useful as Read & Write
It's allowing us to communicate more effectively and more confidently.
Presenting our staff and agents to the customers in the best way possible, and helps shine us up and everyone will know we pay attention to detail.
Our objective is to help our customers and be the bridge that connects the customers with the engineers and technical teams in the software vendors side, and having a like Grammarly is a game changer because it knows all the correct marketing and technical terms.
