It flags grammatical errors, typos, and more subtle things like verbosity and tone. You can even monitor how casual you are in email. But you should never rely on the app to catch all your bugs. Looking it up is not a substitute for a good understanding of grammar. It's a productive use of your time as a writer. This is a skill worth developing. Hemingway I thought I was a decent copywriter and I posted my copy through the Hemingway app. Hemingway gives a readability score; highlighting difficult sentence adverbs and passive voice. It also has an attractive color-based interface. You'd be surprised how many sentences can be split and how many words are useless and how many you use passive voice.
This is my go-to for creating stronger content. Change formatting Stare at the same piece of content all day long Change the color size or font. Stare at the same content all day changing the color size or font. This can trick your brain into thinking that this is the first time photo retouching you're reading something. Read it aloud. It's an old song. But taking the time to say your writing out loud can help spot redundant or missing words, sentences that don't make sense. Lengthy or confusing writing Write like your customers talk and think. They are more likely to understand and trust you and eventually convert. That's why a certain former president once tweeted like an idiot.

Quick warning people confuse homophones because they sound the same when you say them aloud so if you make this mistake a lot don't use this method to catch them read your content backwards from the end to the first sentence of it Can help you focus on checking for errors instead of reading as usual. It's like switching from creative mode to analytical mode. You can even look for issues such as misspelled apostrophes for clarity. Use the on-screen ruler to proofread line by line if it helps you focus. You won't look weird. You'll look like a dedicated copywriter honing your craft. Put it on hold If you have a flexible deadline please allow a day or so for proofreading.
