Hi! 
My grammar is good enough where I don't have to use software for it,
however, I'll use spell check since my spelling is so-so. I have not found a
good grammar checker that's fully accessible but if you have a good writing
center at your school, you might want to explore it and also, check out my
other ideas. I sent a bunch of other ideas you can try as well. Spell check
doesn't catch everything, especially grammar errors, but it's still very
helpful to keep using because it will catch a lot of errors that would have
been missed.

Dear Friends, hope you are well.

I've been subscribed to some blind mailing lists, but I do not post often. I
have an issue related to being a student.

I am blind and use JAWS. I use Microsoft Word for word processing.
When I do a spell check and grammar check, JAWS will say what mistakes are
made and how to correct them. However, I have a sighted professor that tells
me that I have over 40 grammar mistakes. It appears that Word does not catch
everything but there is software that sighted people can use to find out
grammar mistakes.

I am wondering if anyone here uses any grammar checker that is blind
friendly?

Thanks Friends,

Osmond
