I find most spelling and grammar checks are disappointing. Having a spelling and grammar check is better than nothing. There are a number of mistakes that they do not find. Having a more well-developed grammar and spelling checker is a real need for many people. I find the best service is Grammarly. There are still a number of alternatives if you want to look elsewhere. As an adult that does a lot of writing, I don’t want to ask others to proofread my work. Having electronic options to point out my mistakes is valuable.
Note: My brother works for Grammarly. I do really like my brother, but if a better product than Grammarly comes along, I will write about it.
Grammarly Best of Class Author’s Pick
This website will make a ton of corrections on your work. There is a web browser version that will correct what you are writing and a Microsoft Word add-on. They also have a paid version. This is great for a college student or someone that needs help correcting their writing on a regular basis.
Microsoft Word
The spelling and grammar checker in Microsoft Word is very good. To ignore the strong spelling and grammar checking in Word for other programs is a mistake. If you use Word, enjoy the benefit of spelling and grammar checking. However, if you are a power-user, you still can supplement Word with another option as well.

The Language Tool gets some good reviews and has some nice features. What I like best is that you can try the product without login in, downloading or giving any information. The Language Tools also has a few browser extensions that you can try. If you are in the market for a tool to correct your writing, this is worth a look.
