English writers need grammar fixes without full rewrites

English learners and other writers want help catching grammar, tense, missing-word, and punctuation errors while keeping their original wording. General-purpose assistants may rewrite too much, and the signals show people still looking for a checker that meets their needs. Dictation adds a related proofreading need: correcting punctuation in recognized text.

For english learners and everyday English writers. Mentioned from May 2024 to Jun 2026 on Bluesky, Hacker News and Stack Exchange.

  1. I tried to use ChatGPT for that, but it tries to change the original text too much, while I want only what listed in my question title. Can anyone suggest me any alternative?
  2. Do you use some site or programm to check grammar? I can't find a good one(
