Moreover, if you allow it, it will support you everywhere you go, be it posting on social media, writing an email, or compiling a professional report for your colleagues.
We’ll get into more details very soon, but for now, let’s start from the very beginning!
Without further ado, allow us to tell you more about what Grammarly is and what makes it special.
What is Grammarly?
In case you’re not closely familiar with Grammarly, we’re here to fix this and set things straight.
In short, Grammarly is a writing tool that is powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and capable of fixing grammar and punctuation errors, as well as spelling checking.
However, contrary to public opinion, Grammarly is not just about identifying grammar and spelling mistakes. In fact, the tool is capable of identifying a plagiarized document and it can even detect your writing tone with a possibility for you to choose which writing style you want to stick to. That way, Grammarly can point out when you drift away from your intended writing tone.
Finally, Grammarly is extremely intuitive when it comes to structuring the text. For instance, if you write an email, it will automatically offer its assistance if it can detect that the structure of your content can be made easier to engage with and more attractive to the reader.
What Makes Grammarly Valid?
So you might be wondering how Grammarly is capable of being your editor and what makes it accurate in the first place.
The question is a good one.
One thing worth knowing about Grammarly is that it wasn’t made overnight. As a matter of fact, the creators of Grammarly began their mission to create a spectacular writing tool already back in the late 90s. Their first software called Mydropbox was released in 2002 and was initially meant for students. Fast-forward 5 years and they already had around a thousand universities as their customers.
Eventually, the creators of Grammarly noticed that their tool can benefit everyone who uses English in the written form. And then suddenly Grammarly expanded from just students to formal, academic, casual, technical, business, and general tones.
1. Accuracy
One of the strongest traits of Grammarly is the surprisingly high level of accuracy, which is difficult to compete with. Naturally, it was a long process for the tool to become the way it is today. As a matter of fact, it took time, money, and various innovative approaches.
More specifically, the creators of Grammarly are regularly using advanced machine learning and deep learning to break new ground in natural language processing (NLP). The constant effort to make Grammarly better and better earned the company the title of one of the world’s most innovative AI companies by Fast Company.
2. Dedicated Experts
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are great and do get the job done, but they wouldn’t be as almighty as they currently are without people behind them.
Grammarly has a strong team of linguists and deep learning engineers at its disposal not just to maintain and manage the AI but facilitate the improvement of the tool. These professionals dedicate their time, skills, and energy to improve the writing algorithms, which they accomplish by studying huge amounts of written content on research databases. This way Grammarly is capable to improve itself for all types of writing.
3. Easy Functionality and Suitability For Everyone
Grammarly is defined as a writing assistant tool by many for a reason. The word “assistant” in particular implies that it’s there to assist you, not slow you down.
And that is why Grammarly is designed to be easy for everyone to use – you don’t have to spend hours reading about it trying it out to get the hang of it. In fact, all you need to do is just click on it when it has a particular suggestion for your text.
Really, it’s that simple!
Moreover, although it was initially meant for students, soon it became an essential tool for everyone. Grammarly is a fantastic tool for anyone, be it a blogger, a student, or an academic writer. As long as you have anything to do with written text, you can benefit from the tool.
30 million people and 30,000 teams must use Grammarly every day for a reason, right?
