1Checker

When you dedicate a lot of time and energy into writing content for a thesis, work project or a blog post, the last thing you want is to get rejected or a low grade due to sentence structure, grammar, and spelling. While it’s likely that you will go over your text several times before submitting it, sometimes you may miss important things, especially as our brains are programmed to auto-complete.

1Checker is a lightweight tool that could come in handy in these types of situations, as it allows you to instantly proofread the entire body of text and correct it with just one click.

Before you get started, you are required to create an account, a simple operation that you can get done in no time. Once you log in, you are ready to add the desired body of text for a quick evaluation.

Depending on the size of the content, the analysis could take some time. You are presented with general results in the form of graphs, so you can get an overall idea about the quality of your writing. You can close this window and proceed to check out the actual text where you will notice several things highlighted.

As you probably hinted, these are what the app considers mistakes related to style, spelling and grammar. The tool is also trained to offer suggestions of better choice of wording to polish your article, thanks to its contextual learning embedded technology.

According to the developer, you can find a history of your revisions in the User Center and hence, the need to create an account. However, the team also points out that the history is used to solely provide better suggestions and is not shared with third-parties.

Proofreading tools are great, but not perfect and this is why it is recommended that you go over the highlighted errors and decide which ones apply. Despite the fact that 1Checker is powered by AI, let’s not forget that the technology is still in its early stage and has a lot more to learn.
