A Grammarly alternative for how you speak, not how you write
What Grammarly does
Grammarly checks grammar, clarity and tone in your writing, in the browser and across desktop apps, and is very good at it.

Where we differ
Spoken English is not written English
A writing checker applied to speech flags almost everything: fragments, contractions, sentences starting with “and”, self-corrections. All of those are normal speech. We never flag them, and that rule is the difference between useful and unbearable.
Nobody is checking you live
You cannot run a grammar checker mid-sentence on a client call. The only place to catch spoken patterns is afterwards, in the transcript.
Delivery is not a writing problem
Whether you answered the question asked, and whether the number arrived first or last, are meeting problems. No writing tool looks at them because they do not exist in prose.
When they are the better choice
For anything you type — email, documents, proposals — a writing assistant is the right tool and this is not a substitute.
Common questions
- Does Grammarly not already fix my English?
- In writing, yes, and it is very good at it. But writing is the case where you already get a second pass — you can reread an email. Speech has no second pass, and the mistakes you make live are usually different from the ones you make at a keyboard.
- Could I just paste my transcript into Grammarly?
- You can, and it will flag grammar. What it will not do is know which speaker is you, ignore the other participants, leave your product names alone, or tell you that you buried the number at the end of a ninety-second answer. Those need the transcript to be understood as a conversation.
- Do I need to stop using Grammarly?
- No. They do not overlap. Keep it for writing; this is for the meetings.
