When you want to take care of your readers and polish your texts, sometimes you review what you’ve written 100 times looking for errors. Until you finally get fed up. See how much easier it is for you when you use text proofreading programs .
You wrote a blog post. The editor’s autocorrect highlighted the typos. You read it again before you throw it out into the ether. Unfortunately, because you know perfectly well what the author meant, you may not notice that the entry may no longer be as clear to the reader. Or that there are spelling and punctuation errors.
Ask someone to read it and make sure they understand what you wrote. And maybe they’ll spot any typos? Get feedback from a friend, sister, or someone else who can honestly tell you if your writing is really as great as you think it is. Don’t ask your mom. Mine always says she likes it.
Text proofreading programs – and everything becomes clear
Lightwriter
The clarity of the text everything about undergraduate and specialist degree admissions what the reader will understand from it. If not much, they will not read it to the end. Or they will quickly forget about it and may not come back to you. So make sure that what you want to convey is clear.
The jasnapis.pl program that measures text comprehensibility will come to your aid . It will show you its more difficult fragments. Are you wondering how the machine will determine whether your readers will understand the article? It will analyze:
- length of sentences and paragraphs,
- difficult words,
- fragments more complex than the rest of the text.
And then he will underline what he thinks might be disturbing the comprehensibility of the text. Sometimes he will even suggest how to change it.
The Jasnopis checks the Fog Index. It couldn’t be called more incomprehensibly, could it? Robert Gunning created a formula that determines how many years of school (American) one must study to understand a given text.
Jasnopis analyzes the text and gives a rating from 1 to 7, where
- 1 is a childishly easy text, understandable for the first grades of primary school,
- 3 is an easy text, understandable for an average Pole (who finished junior high school)
- 7 is a technical text that only a specialist will understand.
Here the grading scale is the opposite of that at school – you have to be happy with the lowest results possible.
So if Jasnopis rated your text as 5 – the average reader will not understand it. Well, unless you write only and exclusively for people with your education and professional experience. Then maybe, maybe…
The light writer is supervised by a team of linguists, psychologists, computer scientists and statisticians, headed by philologist prof. dr hab. Włodzimierz Gruszczyński from SWPS – so you can safely trust the program’s suggestions. Although not completely – the program is just a program. It does not know the context of your text. It will not be useful for checking poems and songs. Trust it, but use common sense.
Well, now you’re clear. Time for spelling and punctuation. See what tool will help you smooth out the imperfections in your text.
Text proofreading programs – down with spelling mistakes
LanguageTool
My acquaintance with use sms marketing campaigns for special offers and discounts immediately turned into a great love. We didn’t have to get to know each other for long, because the program is very intuitive and helps a lot:
- get rid of unwanted guests from your articles
- or add what is needed (e.g. commas).
The program not only checks spelling, grammar and punctuation. Artificial intelligence also analyzes your style, as well as the typography of the text. And best of all – it suggests, like a teacher on a test, what and how to improve. LanguageTool is a free proofreader for your text. It checks correctness in over 30 languages – it will be useful to you when you write not only in Polish.
LanguageTool will also take care of the correctness of phraseologisms. When you write:
– Between God and the truth – the program will correct you, because the correct form is God and the truth .
Don’t lose your vigilance, though, because it’s not perfect either. If you misspell a word and change it to another existing word, LanguageTool won’t correct it. In the original version of this article, my finger slipped and I wrote ‘rule’ instead of ‘correctly ‘. LanguageTool didn’t correct that. And rightly so, because there’s no mistake in the word. But there was no sense in the sentence either.
Spelling
A free text twd directory program, ortograf.pl, works on similar principles. It checks text not only in Polish, but also in 28 other languages. It shows, among other things, spelling, punctuation, phonetic, syntactic errors, etc.
