Shelly in VA Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) I am looking to use an automated writing feedback program with dd15. My plan is for her to be able to use it for her own editing on essays wrt grammar, readability, etc. before she submits her essays to me. Does anyone have any input on either My Access (http://myaccess.com) or Paper Rater (http://paperrater.com)? Thank you!

Vida Winter Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Sorry to say I did not find MyAccess to be very useful. It has been a few years, though, so maybe they have improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in VA Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Sorry to say I did not find MyAccess to be very useful. It has been a few years, though, so maybe they have improved. Thanks for the input! That is exactly what I'm looking for. I may try Paper Rater (free!) instead of spending the $ on something else. Paper Rater also looks a bit more straightforward than MyAccess - there is no login to use the free version, just cut/paste/submit your paper and a report is automatically generated. I'm hoping that it helps with the initial proofreading phase for papers, and at the same time lets the kids polish their papers without having to wait on me for personal input. I also found reviews yesterday for the Hemingway App http://www.hemingwayapp.com/. It looks like it focuses less on grammar and more on readability. My kids take writing input from me very personally (not always in a good way!). So while I am looking for a tool to teach them editing skills, I am also hoping for something that lets us skip some emotional moments centered on verb tenses and passive voice!
