[Stylist] Is there an accessible grammar checker

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

I just downloaded and played around with the free version of Grammarly, and
it's not 100% accessible if solely using a screen reader. It highlights
mistakes and provides suggestions by noting these items with colors, but a
screen reader does not pick it up. Several unlabeled buttons pop up. I have
no idea what they are or do. I am able to access the buttons for
performance, goals, engagement, correctness alert, etc. But once again, the
actual suggestions within my text do not seem accessible.

 

If someone is aware how to make this fully accessible, or if I'm using it
incorrectly, please, let me know. But as far as I can tell, it's not
accessible for screen reader users.

 

My best advice is to study grammar and style guides, learning what you can,
so you can do your best when editing and writing. And nothing beats an
actual human helping you in the process.

Welcome to the list!

 

Grammarly is a Chrome extension. You can find it in the Google store for
free.

Hello:

 

     Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Robert Jaquiss. I just joined
this list. I have a manuscript that I want to self publish. I need to get my
manuscript mechanically edited. Wanting to keep costs down, I thought to
look into Grammarly. What I have read indicates that Grammarly isn't
accessible. Are their any good alternatives? Thank you.

 

Regards,

 

Robert
