How many of you are 100% sure that your writing is error-free and meaningful all the time? If you are, you need to think over it again. This is because there is no one in this world who has become such a perfect writer. By perfect writer, I mean the one who does not even make a single mistake while writing any kind of stuff.
No matter whether you are a CEO or Manager, Reviewer or Writer, or Teacher or Student; your writing is certainly not 100% perfect! It can be so only if it has gone through a round of review. However, you can improve your writing so that anybody can rely on what you write without reviewing it.
Writing is a course that takes years to become so perfect that you feel happy to share your work and others feel it nice to read your work. Ask a keen writer or blogger and you will know that the key to become a better writer is to keep writing a lot and then getting it reviewed via experts such as online tools.
How about improving your writing by using a few Chrome apps and extensions? These extensions are quite useful for bloggers, note takers, and freelance writers. Most of these utilities are also available in text editors or word processors such as MS Word and Open Office.
However, we need to accept the fact that not all of us use these applications for writing. Nevertheless, if you are using Chrome and are looking for some quick ways of improving your writing, do take a look at the top three Chrome extensions that are available at the Chrome Web Store.
After the Deadline
This free extension features artificial intelligence for proof reading. Spot and rectify spelling, grammar, and style mistakes in your tweets, comments, and e-mails instantly. Previously, it was available as a Firefox add-on, but it is now released for Chrome. In short, it is a comprehensive text checking tool that can highlight misused words, misspelled words, and grammar as well as style issues. Although it is unable to catch all the mistakes, it is still better than the Chrome’s built-in spell-checkerthat does not work with WordPress.
You will be happy to know that After the Deadline extension works for English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and French text. All you need to do is just click the ABC icon located in the bottom-right corner of the editable section to proofread the text.
Doing so will send your data to the Google server via SSL for proofreading after which it will be deleted for respecting your privacy. Further, you can also send bug reports and queries tohttp://chrome.afterthedeadline.com/contact-us/. In short, you socialize with coolness!
Pillarbox
This is a clean full-screen editor that is somewhat similar to WriteRoom. It aims at facilitating long writing sessions without any disruption, but is certainly not apt for taking notes. Some of the cool features of this extension are typewriter scrolling, offline mechanism that eliminates the need of Internet connection and storing data on a risky server, and auto-saving ability after every 10 seconds and upon closing.
Further, you can also expect live word count, word count goal setting that notify you when you accomplish it, writing timer, customizable appearance with live preview, spell check ability as you type, adding custom styles, a comprehensive toolbar, and availability of fonts installed on your machine along with the Web-safe fonts. The only con is that it is available in English only.
