Kutools' AI Proofread feature offers an efficient way to thoroughly check and correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors in your documents before submission.

Real-time proofreading of the current sentence

In addition to full-document reviews, AI Proofread also provides real-time proofreading for the sentence you are typing. Follow these steps to enable real-time proofreading for the current sentence in your document.

As shown in the following demo, when you type a sentence and punctuate it, whether it's a comma, a period, or any other punctuation mark, the AI proofread feature instantly reviews the sentence and lists any errors in the pane. You can then accept the correction or ignore it.

By integrating both comprehensive document scans and real-time sentence analysis, the Kutools AI Proofread ensures that every piece of your written communication is not only error-free but also optimized for clarity and professionalism. Activate it with your API key, and experience a new level of confidence in your writing, knowing that each document reflects your highest standard of excellence.
