Most grammar checkers either flag problems without fixing them or fix them without telling you what changed. The Proofreading tool does both. Paste a text and you get the full corrected text, a numbered list of every change in the form original → correction with a short reason, and up to three style suggestions it chose not to apply.
It corrects spelling, grammar, punctuation, agreement, typos and clear word-choice mistakes, and leaves your voice, structure and meaning alone. The text keeps its original language and regional variant, while headings and notes follow the output language you choose. If there are no errors, the tool says so. It is the suite's dedicated corrector, in the Study and research family.
What you get
- The full corrected text, ready to copy, never shortened or summarized
- A numbered list of changes, each shown as original → correction with the reason
- Minor punctuation fixes grouped on one line when there are more than 20 changes
- Up to three clarity or style suggestions, kept separate from the corrections
- Your original language and regional spelling preserved, with notes in the language you pick
- A plain statement when no errors are found, instead of changes for the sake of it
What you fill in
- Text to proofread required
-
Works in any language. The corrected text stays in its original language; notes follow the output language you choose.
How to use it, step by step
-
Paste the text
Copy the passage into the Text to proofread field. Any language works. Split long documents into sections of a few pages.
-
Choose the language of the notes
The output language setting controls only headings, the list of changes and suggestions. The text itself is never translated.
-
Read the list of changes first
Each line shows what was there, what replaced it and why, so you can reject any change that touches a term you used on purpose.
-
Decide on the suggestions
Suggestions are never applied. Use them by hand or ignore them. For a deeper edit, use the Content Improver.
Example, input and output
Input
- text_to_proofread
- The team have finalised there report last week, but the figures in section 3 was not checked yet. Its important that everyone review them before friday.
Output
The team finalised their report last week, but the figures in section 3 have not been checked yet. It's important that everyone review them before Friday.
**Changes**
1. have finalised → finalised, a specific past time (last week) takes the simple past.
2. there → their, possessive, not the adverb.
3. was not checked → have not been checked, the subject is plural and "yet" calls for the present perfect.
4. Its → It's, contraction of "it is".
5. friday → Friday, days of the week take a capital letter.
**Suggestions**
- Consider naming who is responsible for the review, so the request is clear to every reader.

Tips for better results
- Proofread the final version, not a draft you are still rewriting.
- Check proper names, brand names and technical terms yourself, because they need context a proofreader may not have.
- Use the list of changes to learn which mistakes keep coming back.
Who uses it, and for what
Student before submission
Run the essay or thesis chapter through the tool after the last rewrite and keep the list of changes as a personal checklist.
Non-native professional writing in English
Paste the email or report, read the explanations in your own language and keep the corrected English text.
Content team before publishing
Proofread posts, product pages and newsletters in their original language and spelling variant without retyping corrections.
Translator checking a final text
Use it as a second pair of eyes on a translation, reviewing every change before delivery.
Limits and good practice
- It fixes errors; it does not rewrite. For a change of structure or tone, use AI ReWriter.
- It does not translate. For that, use Translate.
- It cannot verify facts, figures or dates. A correctly spelled wrong number stays wrong.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Proofreading tool correct?
Spelling, grammar, punctuation, agreement, typos and clear word-choice errors. It does not rewrite correct sentences or change your style, meaning or structure. Anything that could be clearer but is not an error goes into a separate list of up to three suggestions, which you can apply or ignore.
Does it translate my text?
No. The corrected text always stays in its original language and regional variant, so American and British spelling are both respected. Only the headings, the list of changes and the suggestions follow the output language you choose, so you can read the explanations in your own language.
How is it different from a grammar checker?
A typical grammar checker underlines problems one at a time and leaves you to fix them. This tool returns the whole text already corrected, plus a numbered list of every change with the original, the correction and the reason, so you review all edits in one place.
Can I proofread long documents?
Yes, and the most reliable way is to work in sections of a few pages. Each section gets its own complete list of changes, which is easier to review, and the corrected text is never shortened or summarized to fit a length limit.
What happens if my text has no mistakes?
The tool says so and returns the text unchanged. It is instructed not to make changes for the sake of it, so a clean result means the text passed the check. Any optional style ideas still appear as suggestions, never as edits.
