Apps for checking text for Windows

[Penyhyzupo]

Hi All,

I'm not sure that my question is relevant, but I certainly know there are many software experts. I don't want to get into all the details, so I'll be brief: I have to submit a paper (not a commercial, but academic text), and I'm looking for a way to edit it. I'm a poor writer, to say nothing of editing, that's why I rely on software.

Which app are you using ? Most have a grammar and spelling check these days

there are lots of 'text to talk' options around... back in my tafe days I found it handy to let the computer [read] projects back to me before handing them in

be careful with any computer software when it comes to editing because most of them assume one spelling, for example downunder we put the U into colour and things like that just upset computers... in other words avoid Microsoft products and look for 3rd party options

It is a minor inconvenience. Mostly American spellers leave out the "u". Other countries, in general, when using their own versions, leave the "u" in. I just go ahead and accept American spelling anyway, when using a US oreinetated speller.

But, ussnorway's advice is worth noting.

I use Microsoft Word, but its functions aren't enough for me

I'm disappointed, I have to submit my personal statement so soon, but this paper is so difficult to complete...

yeah, it may sound weird, but you must know that I have to write a personal statement. I've found great instructions and guide, but they aren't enough to write a paper that'll help me succeed. ..

Just a little surprise for me. I use Wordpad to write most of my stuff. You can see why my response.

I'm a poor writer,

man, i believe, no tool but your brain is gonna help with that

you already know that, man, not sure why you'd waste ppl's time like that

man, you know about thermal paste, and then you somehow don't know anything about tools, and make a post like thiss, man?
