- ProWritingAid Review: Best proofreading software for writers?
In this video, I review ProWritingAid, a competitor to Grammarly that helps writers write better and produce cleaner manuscripts. How effective is it? You won’t want to miss this one.
3:15: The number of false positives should have been 25%. There was a typo in my script. My math is otherwise correct.

Do you use ProWritingAid? If not, will you try it? Sound off in the comments!
Just downloaded it yesterday, as a dyslexic I am truly loving it. Cant believe Microsoft Word didn't pick up some of these errors I am seeing. Great video!
So am I and I'm on the fence thanks for letting me know
I like your brief and clear review. Thank you.
If you use Word, try the built-in proofreading before buying an additional program. Drill down into the options to find the proofreading features. Readability may not be checked by default. You do have to start it by hand in the review menu. It's quite comprehensive and has been there at least since Office 2010. I just wrote a marketing email where I got 73% readability and grade 6.3.
I have both PWA and Wordrake and find they are both useful. Would like to see this sort of review for Wordrake. Thanks for the video!
I think you are right when you say that milage may vary. For me I'm not an author but doing a second degree. It's been over ten years since I last studied and I'd say that my ability to write essays are a bit stale! So at a guess, my writing ability is probably far from that of seasoned authors and academics. I will never rely on a grammar checker, but for someone like me who hasn't written formally for years I could imagine my stats being very different. I think I will end up with far more errors!
As always, very informative. I always check the Michael La Ronn Bible, I mean vids, when I need solid details. They should package your videos with their products. Two thumbs up!
Thanks Eric! You’re too kind!
I’m wondering if you would consider doing an updated review. I just installed PWA, and my sense is it has come a long way since you made this vid. I’d be curious what the landscape looks like now in your view. Thanks, your vids have been very helpful to me as a first time non-fiction author!
Wow! One of the best reviews I’ve seen on RUclips. Very thorough!
I recently bought 2 years of subscription to Pro Writing Aid. I like it. Mainly for the Americanized word thing (I'm Australia and had no idea there was so many spelling differences between UK and US English), as well as the "smart" quates thing, where sometimes "" are the wrong format. Stuff like that. There is a lot of detailed stuff in their reports, but yea, most does not seem useful to a fiction writer.
Which is really a shame because there is a lot of opportunity here to help bridge some gaps. But we’re still very early in the proofreading app game, and 10-15 years from now, we’re going to be having a very different conversation about what these apps can do for writers. Machine learning and AI are going to make these apps eventually reach the level of a basic proofreader (human), maybe better. I hope that ProWritingAid is a part of that conversation. That’s why I support them now.
@@AuthorLevelUp please answer as soon as possible I need pro writing aid for transcribing and in transcribing you're grammar and punctuation have to be perfect, so which form of pro writing Aid will help me, premium or free version?
Kindly answer as soon as possible.
Thanks. Very well presented.
Hi Michael. Love your videos. You helped me get started in Scrivener. Is there a way to interface ProWriting Aid with Scrivener?
Hi Polly, thank you. :) at this time, no. While PWA does offer Scrivener integration it’s not sanctioned by Scrivener. You’re best to use them separately in my opinion.
Another really useful and entertaining video. Keep these coming! One question: I'm a Ulysses user and have been underwhelmed with the grammar and spell-checker options available to the app. Any suggestions? Grammarly only works if I open a Ulysses document on my iPad and use the Grammarly keyboard; i.e., no direct way to use it on a Mac. Pro Writing Aid doesn’t work in Ulysses, either. Short of exporting into Word, running Pro Writing Aid, and then re-importing… well, what’s the preferred solution? Would love to know your thoughts. Cheers as always!
Great question, Mark, and I wish I had a solution for you. Hopefully ProWritingAid hears us and considers Ulysses on its list of integrations! Lot of copying pasting that has to be done currently. Thanks for watching.
I use PWA and love it. Does it have quick keys i can click when I approve a change rather than screwing around with the mouse?
What app do you recommend? I’m half way through my book but need a better app. Do you recommend a editor in NJ? I had a friend recommend one in Europe but I feel I should have one in the states. What is your opinion? I appreciate and feedback. Thank you, Christine
Reach out to me at authorlevelup.com/contact and I would be happy to recommend a few US editors.
Always solid, well thought out reviews.
Well done video, thanks. Off to look your books up on Amazon.
Thanks so much!
THANK YOU MICHAEL.
Thanks for a great review and I will be watching your other reviews. +1 subscriber.
hi Michael. your review, as usual was great! May I ask you if you think that ProWritingAid could help me improve my writing for the Cambridge English Advanced exam?.
Perfect explanation Bro, Thanks a lot :)
Thank you!
Does it have ms word tool bar install so you don't have to upload the entire manuscript online?
Yes, check this out: prowritingaid.com/en/App/Office
I'm a recent subscriber and RUclips offered this 3-year old video up as a recommendation. As of today: $20 monthly, $79 annual subscription...and lifetime membership is $399. I think I just died a little inside.
A very good review !
Great video! I was also wondering what you think of Grammarly?
Stay tuned tomorrow at noon Central standard time, my friend. ;)
Excellent!
Can anybody help me where to find article writer for amazon affiliate site?
What are your thoughts on Grammarly? I write in Word. OH! Hello from St. Louis!
An STL viewer?! Awesome!! :) Oh, and my Grammarly Review goes live tomorrow at noon CST. :)
Hey there
I am only 17 but I have a story in mind
I want to write it as a novel but there are some problems I am facing with some words
can u suggest some free software that can help me to complete it
the software which helps to give me a word for some sentence and helps me in writing a conversation
I did a free Mac writing apps video. See if that helps: ruclips.net/video/udQObJ0OpsA/видео.html
@@AuthorLevelUp
thanks for the help
I've already written like 4o pages
but to think It took more to change
because of the grammar
while the UI can be a bit,,, ugly, the free online version is actually okay
oh you should check hemingway editor if you haven't already
