Comparison of Writing and Proofreading features of Product A and Product B
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.
