Hi All -
I have put together an online grammar checker, "GrammarTool". During graduate school my friends would often have me read their drafts as I was one of the few native English speakers around. Eventually I had the idea of writing software to do some automatic basic checks.
Eventually this personal project morphed into a website. The good news: the website is free (and I'll keep it that way unless traffic really picks up and I need to pay for faster hardware), it doesn't have ads; the interface is relatively simple. I am eager to introduce features -- my own skill and time allowing.
The bad news -- like any automatic grammar checker -- my tool is still far worse than having a real live person read your writing.
At the moment, my own interest is to improve the website's ability to check articles. I have found this to be a difficult area.
Other suggestions of checks (and ideas how to program them) are welcome!
