Grammar review

Corrections that explain themselves.

Grammar review tuned for academic writing — and every suggestion comes with the rule behind it, so you learn the pattern instead of just patching the sentence. Each fix is a diff you approve, in the same document where you draft, cite, and export.

Beta opens this season — starting with students and researchers.

Grammar review with an explanation for each correction in Copyeditor

HOW IT REVIEWS

Built for papers, not for tweets

Academic prose has its own conventions. The review respects them — and teaches you the ones you’re missing.

Tuned for academic prose

It reviews against the conventions of scholarly writing — tense in literature reviews, hedging, the passive where it belongs — not the breezy register of a marketing email.

Every fix is explained

A correction without a reason teaches you nothing. Each suggestion comes with the rule behind it, so the same mistake gets rarer over time.

Shown as a diff

Corrections appear as tracked changes over your text. Accept what’s right, reject what isn’t, and keep your voice where it matters.

Why explanations matter

A fix you understand is a mistake you stop making

Accepting a silent correction gets the sentence right once. Reading why it was wrong gets the next ten right too. For writers working in a second language, that explanation is often worth more than the correction itself.

IN THE SAME DOCUMENT

Correctness check, where the rest of the work lives

No separate tab

Grammar review reads the live draft. You don’t paste your paper into another tool and paste the corrected version back.

Pairs with paraphrase

Use grammar review for correctness and clarity, and academic paraphrase when a sentence needs reshaping into a scholarly register.

Questions about grammar review

How is this different from a general grammar checker?

General checkers optimise for everyday writing and often push academic prose toward a casual register. Copyeditor’s review is tuned for scholarly conventions — and it explains each correction so you learn the rule, not just the fix.

Will it explain why something is wrong?

Yes. Each suggestion includes the reasoning behind it. For ESL writers especially, that explanation is the point — you correct the sentence and understand the pattern.

Does it rewrite my sentences for me?

It proposes corrections as diffs you approve. For deeper rewording in an academic register, the paraphrase tool is the better fit; grammar review focuses on correctness and clarity.

Does it work alongside the rest of the workspace?

Yes. Grammar review runs on the live document, so you check correctness in the same place you draft, cite, and export — no copy-pasting into a separate tab.
