Non-native English speakers: Do you use a writing assistant?

As a non-native English speaker, I struggle a lot to write clearly and concisely without any grammar mistakes. I'm currently using the free plan of Grammarly to check my grammar and I'm looking to buy the premium subscription.

Do you use this type of tool?

    yes. Grammarly by default and in some cases Grammarly+Hemingway App.

      The same. It doesn't take long to internalize the issues flagged by them. You quickly stop needing them.

    I was going to say Grammarly but everyone is already giving that advice. 😮

    🤚 Grammarly. It just autocorrected "Gramarly" to "Grammarly" 🤣 Also, my android default keyboard is Grammarly.

    I use Grammarly too.

    I use the paid version of Grammerly and it helps a lot. Sometimes rewriting whole sentences for me.

        Why not try it for a month and see? I am from a high-cost country, so I am not that hard of a sell when it comes to value.

          We are neighbours, more or less I live in Åland...I was just wondering. Been using it really long now.

          Thank you!

    English is not my 1st language too. I use Grammarly, Wordcounter.net and sometimes Hemingway

  7. 1

    Using Grammarly + ProWritingAid and am satisfying with them

    I use https://languagetool.org/ pro because it also helps with German grammar. The fact that it directly integrates with Google docs is really useful

    Paid Grammarly is mandatory :-).

  10. 1

    I use grammarly, the paid paln.

  11. 1

    I use grammarly, it's helpful regardless whether you are a native English speaker or a non-native.

    Grammarly all the way :)
