Pricing
Grammarly offers a premium version of its software that provides more detailed analysis and corrections. It can be used in real-time, highlighting errors as you type, or it can be used at the end to check the whole document for issues. It can also identify style issues and suggest improvements.
It works on a variety of apps, websites, and browsers to check for writing errors such as grammar, punctuation, clarity, and tone. It can also correct misspellings and suggest synonyms. It is an excellent tool for writers, students, and professionals.
Ginger has its own keyboards for Android and iOS devices that are free to download, but it’s not as sophisticated as Grammarly. It’s useful for people who need a basic spelling and grammar checker but doesn’t offer the same level of features as Grammarly. For example, it doesn’t have voice typing or gestures. However, it does have some cool emojis and themes. It also supports multiple languages.
Convenience
Grammarly is an online editor that works via a browser extension. It checks spelling and grammar while you’re typing in Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Google Docs, and more.
In addition to pointing out mistakes, it also offers suggestions for improving your writing. It suggests synonyms, explains grammatical rules, and analyzes your vocabulary. Grammarly also recognizes different English dialects and tries to correct the way you phrase your sentences to sound more natural.
One feature that sets Grammarly apart from Gboard is the latter’s ability to offer emoji and other multimedia options. For example, it supports a full range of Unicode emojis and offers a dedicated Clipboard Manager that keeps copied text for 60 minutes (you can pin it longer). It also has a dedicated search tool that lets you find terms and queries within the keyboard. Gboard also has a One-handed mode that resizes the keyboard for easier use with a single hand. It also supports a wider selection of languages compared to Grammarly.
Language support
Grammarly supports a number of languages, while Gboard only has a few. Both keyboards offer the QWERTY layout, but Gboard has more options for other layouts like AZERTY, DVORAK, and Colemak.
Both apps have an in-app purchase for additional features, but Grammarly offers a more comprehensive suite of tools. Its Premium version will check your writing for a variety of errors and suggestions to improve your vocabulary, tone, word choice, and fluency.
It will also look at your text for repeated words and suggest stronger synonyms. It will flag awkward phrases and inconsistencies in tone or level of formality. It will also highlight grammatical mistakes such as subject-verb agreement, verb tense, misused words, and more. It will even correct your pronunciation and suggest a more natural tone. It will also check your text for plagiarism and provide links to relevant articles to help you learn more about the topic. It will save your copied texts in a clipboard manager for one hour before they are deleted automatically, and you can pin them to keep them longer.
