Grammarly is a writing-enhancement platform developed by Grammarly, Inc., and launched in 2009. Grammarly's proofreading and plagiarism-detection capabilities[2] check for a writer's adherence to more than 250 grammar rules.[3][4][5]
History
The company was founded in 2009 by Alex Shevchenko and Max Lytvyn when they were both 28 years old.[5][6] Brad Hoover, the company's chief executive officer, is an investor with a background in engineering who learned about Grammarly while searching for an automated proofreading tool for his own writing.[6]
Grammarly, Inc., is headquartered in San Francisco, with an additional office in Kiev, Ukraine.[6]
Features
Grammarly carries out more than 250 grammar checks;[7] it proofreads and detects plagiarism in the process and finally provides users with a list of possible errors for correction.[8]
During its text review, Grammarly presents potential errors one at a time, with commonly confused words or faulty sentences highlighted in light red and a text box below offering an explanation that provides good and bad examples and suggests corrections. Grammarly also provides citations when it detects plagiarism.[8] Users can click on a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" icon to let Grammarly know if the result was helpful.[2]
Other features of Grammarly include:[7][8][9]
- A grammar checker that can analyze general, business, academic, technical, creative and casual writings.
- A contextual spell checker that determines the appropriate spelling of a word as it is used in a sentence; thus, it finds misspelled words and also identifies correctly spelled yet incorrectly used words.[10]
- Grammarly Plug-in for Microsoft Office, which adds Grammarly to Microsoft Word and Outlook.
- An online Grammarly Handbook resource covering what the Grammarly platform does in checking grammar and syntax.
