Grammarian Pro

I gave this a try before buying it and was less than pleased . The Monterey install itself was weird but eventually I figured it out. The corrections Grammarian Pro suggested were interesting but not very colloquial. This is not how many of us speak regardless of our education or background. What bugged me even more were the two icons in the Menu Bar, a check mark and a pencil icon, and the two icons in the Dock which did not hide despite clicking on 'Hide'. Wouldn't just the pencil icon in the Menu Bar suffice? Maybe there is a hidden preference to work around these glitches. And, applying corrections seems to require way too many steps between Next and Correct - without seeing the final product. I may come back and try it again if 'What's New' indicates these shortcomings have been addressed. Other than these things, Grammarian Pro worked well on my M1 iMac.

This is the official update for Grammarian PRO3. MacUpdate's policies force the dropping of "3" from the product title name for the title: Grammarian PRO3 --> Grammarian Pro. This is for clarification. The current version for Grammarian PRO3 is v3.5 at this date. Check our web page: https://linguisoft.com/

There is a FREE option when you install Grammarian Pro. What you get is: • Limited grammar checking. • Full spell checking. • Limited punctuation checking. • Limited phrase usage checking. • Dictionary. - - What requires the full Premium version, is: - Full grammar checking. - Full punctuation checking. - Full phrase usage checking. - AutoCorrect. - AutoType. - Readability checking. - AutoComplete.

It is great when it is working. Alas, it keeps crashing. Uninstalled the program, reinstalled it and it still keeps crashing. Additionally, it shreds words into unreadable gibberish or deletes parts of sentences. I am using a 2019 Macbook Pro with the latest Mac OS update, MS Word and Grammarian 3.1.

Grammarian PRO3 is the best yet and is still the epitome of proofreading tools. I'm ecstatic about this upgrade.

Someone recommended this as an alternative to Grammarly. So I tried it out. This is awful. Typing slows down to a crawl (on an 2018 MacBook Pro). It finds far less issues than Grammarly (or Pro Writing Aid), and the way the GUI displays information makes it hard to work with (also GUI looks very dated).

Version 3 looks amazing and finally a replacement for Spell Catcher which I had been using since it since it was called Thunder 7. This version of Grammarian is 64-bit so maybe I’ll finally be able to upgrade to Catalina as losing Spell Catcher was a major worry. This pup is fast too. While no upgrade discount from version 2, it is on sale for awhile so I’m happy to support the developer.

Very nice! Been using Grammarian Pro for forever now.

I love the total system wide integration. And it works as well as advertised. The only feature I'd like to see added would be a plagiarism checker.

As a college instructor, I must review more than 100 papers every two weeks. Grammarian is my go-to choice for catching errors I might miss after hours of reading content. Yes, the university subscribes to two automated systems, but those SaaS apps and Grammarly are less accurate. When I had a problem after upgrading to a new MacBook Pro, I had random crashed. The problem turned out to be easy to fix thanks to good tech support. Because only one or two papers were crashing during "AutoMark" I failed to realize only spelling errors were crashing the app - there was a corrupt dictionary file. I am going to buy another license for an iMac. I look forward to future updates that are 64-bit so they avoid any warnings from Apple.

I wonder who would spend 50 $ (well, they ask '49,95', which is already A SHAME, a way to insulte the intelligence of the audience!) for something we can't even try (and that most probably would be not less presumptuous than Grammarly!)

My favorite app. Another great update.

Rocks! Great. Very helpful for class writing.

Great app. I've been using this for years and am glad it is actively supported.

Almost useless. It monetary worth shouldn't exceed $5 for what it does:
1. I tried it on article and most of the suggestions were either wrong or useless.
2. The graphical interface belongs to the seventies.
3. The font size and type are not good for the eyes.

Checked the following:

Bill's go to store four cheese.

Were gone to the store.

Bill go too store.

Where going to there store.
-------
Grammarian Pro2 only caught "Bill go too store"
and then only corrected go to goes.

Pretty lame.

Thanks ... Ken

This is truly funny! Read the "WHAT'S NEW" for version 2.0.8. How many grammatical and spelling errors can you find? I can't stop laughing!

Is this update compatible with OS 10.9 Mavericks? I sincerely hope so, because having happily used Grammarian PRO and PRO2 for many years, I want to continue. I love Grammarian PRO2X and I love Mavericks. They deserve each other!

"Fixed: Keyboard menu shortcuts of Pencicil Menu in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion." Can't find the pencicil menu...

Pardon me, but I do not think I want to use a program that is supposed to check grammar and spelling when, on their support page, they refer to "Frequently Asked Questions" as FAQ's. "Questions" is plural. There is no need for an apostrophe-s as this denotes possession! See it for yourself at http://www.linguisoft.com/support.html Even if this has become common usage, it is still grammatically incorrect. Gimme a break!
