ProWritingAid Desktop Editor

Stay focussed with our Desktop Editor. Upload and edit your Scrivener, rich text, Word and OpenOffice documents.

I am continually impressed with the positive input this program offers me every time I sit down to write. My skills have improved immensely since I bought it and heartily recommend it to anyone who wants to have more confidence in their own writing.

I’ve tried every free and paid writing/editing/grammar extension out there and this by far is the best one my team and I have found. It’s fast, accurate and really helps improve your writing beyond simple grammar suggestions.

This app works really well with and in Word. All the features one enjoys in the full version of the app are a click away.
