### "A great way to polish your writing\!" — 5.0/5

> **Olga** | *22 September 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I really like a good variety of options which anybody can use for free. For instance, I can choose the education level, the type of paper, the speed of plagiarism detection tool (slow or quick analysis).&#10;As soon as the text is checked up, I can have a look at the details of my wordings. There are several levels of text analysis: Plagiarism Detection, Spelling, Grammar, Word Choice, Style (Usage of Transitional Phrases, Sentence Length Info, Readability Indices, Passive Voice, Sentence Beginnings),  besides there are additional  filters such as: Vocabulary Words (Usage of Academic Vocabulary), Grade, E-Submission (Send These Results to Your Teacher). What's more, there is even such a splendid function as a printable summary report (you can print out the results which the service provides you with). Some functions are paid, for instance you can dig more into plagiarism (Upgrade to premium to see which phrases were found to be un-original) or Readability Indices (This feature is only available to premium subscribers),&#10;The system provides any user with free tips of advice, some helpful resources: Effective Use of Sentence Length, Active vs Passive Voice, Sentence Beginnings. Additionally, the system offers to use some other options, such as: Vocabulary Builder, Writer's Block, Effective Outlines, Writing a Strong Essay&#10;General Grammar Tips. It is a reliable, trustworthy, affordable, useful, user-friendly, effective, efficient and effortless tool.
> 
> **Cons**: Well, I don't know why, but for some weird reason the button to start checking up in many of my browsers is frequently replaced by the button leading to other grammar/spelling checking systems. Even on Windows OS (I am using Linux now, by the way), it was a bit a challenging task to use the tool because I could not easily find out where to click on. The button to use the system is usually replaced by some other spelling checking tools (their advertisements) and sometimes I even had to use the other tools. What's more, this nasty situation has been only for last 5-6 years. For instance, 10-11 years ago, when there are not so many grammar and spelling checkers, and when Google Ads were not so omnipresent, I could use the tool easily. I think it is some evil job of rival companies or Google AdSense, but this thing is really displeasing. PaperRater as a text verifying system was created years ago, and it is sad that it is almost chopped off by some startups.
> 
> Well, I am happy that such a splendid, useful, applicable and helpful tool exists. I started writing my first research years ago and this tool was a great helping hand to me. It is practical, it is responsive, it is adjustable and just perfect for needs of any learner, student or researcher. Thank you very much, guys, you are doing a great job\!

### "Perfect for checking your papers and articles\!" — 5.0/5

> **Kristina N.** | *26 April 2019* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I first started using PaperRater years ago when a company I was writing for suggested its freelancers use it to check their writer for plagiarism. It has now become a step in my writing/editing process. It can be easy to overlook small mistakes when you are editing or proofreading your own work, so it's nice to have something that can do an additional check for me\!
> 
> **Cons**: It can be a bit clunky and slow, but it still gets the job done.
