Pros

“As someone who works seven days a week editing academic papers across a broad spectrum of styles (OSCOLA, Chicago, APA, MLA, etc.) and using both Vancouver and Harvard reference formats, I find PerfectIt to be the ideal final arbiter before returning work, catching inconsistencies missed by all other packages.”

John G.

Freelance Academic Editor

“I use it to quickly clean up texts ready for proofing or copyediting and then use it for a final sweep to check for anything I might have missed.”

Susie M.

Proofreader and Copyeditor

“As a transcript proofreader for court reporters, I use Word and PerfectIt to "prep" the transcript for me to read and perform some initial checks on the transcript.”

Mike M.

Transcript proofreader

Pros

“Great privacy compared to the competition with the option to host your own setup.”

Johnathan K.

CEO

“Language Tool swiftly picks up and corrects me accordingly.”

Armando R.

Translator

“LanguageTool supports over 30 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese, making it a great tool for users who write in many languages.”

Mohammed A.

Researcher

Cons

“It does sometimes crash mid-checks, which is annoying, especially as it requires shutting down Word and reloading the document entirely, but fortunately it doesn't take very long to hit "skip" until one is back to where one was in the checks process.”

Michelle P.

Managing Editor

“Occasionally, the acronym list will not pull all of the acronyms and i will have to manually go back and pull them myself.”

Shannon C.

Proposal Manager

“My Word processing programme often crashes half way through the review which is often when I'm in a rush about to deliver to my clients.”

Rebecca C.

Translator, Editor, MD

Cons

“LanguageTool, like any automated tool, may occasionally recommend modifications that are unneeded or erroneous. While LanguageTool can detect some types of plagiarism, it is not as thorough as specialist plagiarism checkers.”

Mohammed A.

Researcher

“Not always on point with languages other than Englishlacks in the department of style checkingNo plagiarism check”

Jeroen D.

Content Creator

“The customer support also needs some improvements.”
