Fixing & Re-editing Dialogues grammar and spelling

Hello everyone,

Hope you're all having a good time.

After finishing my prologue for the comic "Mukhtar", I began to read and review the pages and I realize I need to fix a lot of dialogues, especially the grammars.

During the time I make pages, I've been using Grammarly and Microsoft words to detect any errors and yet there are still a lot to retype.

So, does anyone know any software, or websites that can revise them and reveal all the mistakes that needs to be fixed?

I'm going back to the prologue and fix them on Friday.

Any software/extension will make mistakes. While they do help, I still have to ignore a lot of suggestions made while I type since computers and programming can't take into consideration context.

For example I wrote a sentence along the lines of "The sun set with blazing glory." Where the sun is performing the action of setting. But google keeps wanting me to write it as "The sunset with blazing glory" which is incorrect.

Really you can only rely on human eyes and judgment for the final edit of your story.

Thank you, you're right about the softwares, If our human eyes are the only solution to help out, then I'll do it.

Although I will still rely on these softwares for spellings and missing words at least.

You could ask a friend or someone on the forum to read through the episodes before you release them maybe?

That can work too, I might try that on my next chapter.

Either showing the whole page or just the dialogues.

Yes, software is stupid when it comes to natural language.

i'm using spell check in Photoshop and a proofreader))) because my first language is russian.
Also in Russia Mukhtar is a name of a police dog from a tv series.

Funny, in Arabic, it means "Chosen one".

I guess that police dog is chosen to protect and stabilize its homeland.

Hiya!

I fix and re-edit Annie's Solutions all the time, as I'm not a native English speaker.
I usually use Reverso for the translations and for the spell check.

I know it's not a perfect system, but it helps a lot!
