Grammarly can help you improve spelling, grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and style in your writing. As you type, Grammarly checks your text for hundreds of common and advanced writing issues. Grammarly checks for grammatical errors, such as subject-verb agreement, article use, and modifier placement; and it also checks for contextual spelling mistakes, phonetic spelling mistakes, and irregular verb conjugations. Grammarly also provides synonym and other work-choice suggestions to make your writing more readable and precise.
Make sure you get the most out of Grammarly! There are computer and browser add-ons and plug-ins you can use to get help from Grammarly within Microsoft Word and Outlook, web browsers, and from your desktop!
Microsoft Office Plug-in for Windows
The Microsoft Office plug-in for Windows conveniently adds Grammarly to Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook. When creating a document, Grammarly will appear on the right-hand side and provide suggestions, as the online editor does.
Desktop App for Windows and OS X
The desktop app installs a shortcut on your computer's desktop to provide quick and easy access to Grammarly. Its usage is identical to the online editor. The desktop app is available for both Windows and OS X.
Browser extensions
Browser extensions allow Grammarly to check writing entered in text boxes within a web browser, including the Gmail Compose box.
You can also use the Grammarly Keyboard App for iOS and Android devices. Go to the App Store or the Google Play Store and download the free app. You may need to read the How to Install pages for your device's operating system to complete setup: How to Install on iOS ... How to Install on Android.
