Recommendation on Grammar Checking Software (compiled by Wen Hao)

Before handing in your writing assignments, it is better to let the machine proofread your grammar and spelling first.

Here are some useful websites:

【002】Grammar Check Online：http://t.cn/Rf84dwq；

【003】AutoCrit Online Editing：http://t.cn/RqdTyVa；

【011】grammarly：http://t.cn/zTjKYuV；

【012】gingersoftware：http://t.cn/Rq7SAzo；

Some of these may need you to get registered and pay. I have not tried all of them. But the free version of Grammarly is not that bad. Please find one that suits you(r) writing the best.
