Thank you!

[@KMRobinsonBooks]

you're welcome!

[@jimmychurch9588]

Can the program find syntax issues? Specifically, I’m interested if pro writing aid scans the manuscript to make sure you are not beginning back to back sentences with the same word.

[@KMRobinsonBooks]

None of them do that, but that's something you should absolutely be doing in your self edits BEFORE putting it through ProWritingAid and Grammarly. None of these programs replace human editors (yourself first and then a pro editor after) and are meant to catch things you miss, specifically after you've been through it personally but before you send it to your professional human editor.

[@jimmychurch9588]

@@KMRobinsonBooks gotcha. I’m not published, and I don’t have an editor. I’ve been considering Grammerly and pro writing aid to help speed along my edits. The biggest problem I currently have is the speed at which I can edit. Do you find this software helps with that?

[@KMRobinsonBooks]

Software is not meant for helping to edit, but rather to catch what you miss. So it shouldn't be used during editing at all. During self edits, you're going though and restructuring sentences, finding plot holes, fixing grammar, etc. Trying to use software of any kind can double or triple the process of editing because every time you tweak something, the software has to rethink a bunch of it and even once you get to the end of your self edits, you still have to run it through a program again.
Once your book is fully written, you should sit down and self edit it as quickly as possible (1-2 days is best, but if you need a week or two, do what you have to but if you stretch it out you'll end up missing a lot) Then run it through Grammarly and/or ProWritingAid, and then send it to a professional human editor. If this is your first book, and especially if you're struggling, you should strongly consider hiring a developmental editor to help with the structure of the book, then go through self editing and machine editing again before sending it to a line editor to deal with grammar and spelling issues.
