RightWriter Grammar Analysis for Windows

• Too Much of a Hassle

  VermontMom2/25/2012

  Pros

  Excels at catching passive voice. Love the ability to customize the colors myself so that I can specifically set bold colors to catch mistakes I'm specifically looking for.

  Cons

  Often incorrectly says where commas should go and is picky about splitting longer sentences that are grammatically correct into two.

  Summary

  I bought this to supplement a grammar program I already had installed for free just to see if it was better. It is good at catching passive voice, but not any better than After the Deadline. After using RightWriter for a month, I finally stopped using it. It's really a waste of my money and I wish there had been a free trial. The programming seems old, reminds me of old text adventure games in DOS. What really bothers me though is that it conflicts with my virus software. To run it without having it crash, I have to turn off virus protection. I've set my virus software to ignore it, but the two still conflict. I'll go back to using After the Deadline and Paper Rater instead.

  Pros

  no much to like.

  Cons

  poor follow up

  Summary

  this could be a wonderful thing, if the folk at the other end would follow through and give the support needed. I for one will look else where for the programs needed. lie to me once shame on me lie to me twice shame on you.

• Decent, but limited

  Jake_Watson10/2/2008

  Pros

  It's fast and accurate.

  Cons

  The earlier versions of this program let the user create rules. This version has 3 sets of rules that cannot be changed. In fact, you can't even see what the rules are, or turn off specific rules.

  Summary

  The locked rules kills this one for me: similar programs usually let you create your own rules and turn rules off and on.

• Must have for any internet user, use it or look dumb!

  Pros

  Saves you from making dumb mistakes when writing emails, editing reports, or posting to your website. I have a problems editing and it makes my writing look really bad. RightWriter catches those errors and makes my writing look great

  Cons

  Does not catch all grammar errors but none of the similar programs do either, it does catch more than others I have tried.

  Summary

  RightWriter has saved me from a lot of embarassment both online and at work. I have found really stupid mistakes and grammatical errors in my work emails and reports that I would have been embarassed to send out. I only wonder how many I sent out that no one told me about before I got RightWriter! I never send an email to my boss or post to my blog without checking with Right writer first. It really helps me to make my writing look intelligent and not like some 6 year old is posting to my blog. Get it, you won't regret it.
