After The Deadline
Let's face it, most of us bloggers don't have English degrees and are prone to some easily correctable grammar mistakes. Myself included, so I set out to find a means of grammar checking my blog posts that is quick and simple. To my dismay almost all the "grammar tools" out there I found looked great but required money to use them in some way. This only made me more determined to find an alternative.
I then stumbled upon a Chrome Extension called After The Deadline. The more I read about it the more I became impressed with it. The claim that it uses artificial intelligence to correct your spelling, style, and grammar made it even more intriguing.
How does it work?
After installing it I was somewhat confused on how to use it as it appears in Chrome's address bar and you can't really tell how to use it from there. It recommends that you restart your browser after installing, I didn't see that suggestion myself. To use After The Deadline simply go to any box where you would input text, blog posts, twitter status and click the green ABC button. After a small delay your text is highlighted with errors.
Seeing what needs correcting is simple, words or phrases are underlined with either green or red. You can click on individual mistakes to access the problem. Advanced grammar mistakes are explained so you can rewrite your sentence to make it more grammar friendly. This will ultimately improve your writing and grammar naturally as time goes along you won't want to repeat your bad habits.
The Importance of Grammar and Spelling for Blogging.
Well written articles are very important when it comes to one of the main components every great blog needs: readability! There's a reason most people turn to blogs over Wikipedia for information. It's because blog posts usually aren't written as dry and informative as possible. It's often challenging to write in your own creative voice and maintain good grammar. While you shouldn't stress over your post's being 100% grammatically correct, it shouldn't be neglected either. Poorly written text can ultimately hurt your SEO goals and cause your readership to decrease as well.
I can't tell you how many blogs I just exit from simply because the writing is barely understandable. This is an essential tool if you blog in any language that's not your native one. AtD currently supports English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish text.
Lastly, AtD is artificial intelligence at best, use your own judgement call on what sounds right for the sake of your blog post. Viva Humans!
