How to run the test
- 1
Select the text
Click in the editor, then Ctrl + A to take everything, or select a single paragraph to start small.
- 2
Run the correction
With the Windows app: Ctrl + Alt + C. With the Chrome or Firefox extension: right-click, then "Correct the text".
- 3
Check the result
Open the answer key below the editor and look for what is left. Also check that headings, bold and colors are still there.
What this text puts to the test
Mistakes caught inside formatting
"where able" is in bold, "monday's" is in a heading, "thursday" is highlighted. Correctify only replaces the letters that change: after the correction, the bold text should still be bold and the heading still a heading. If formatting was lost somewhere, that is what I want to hear about.
Grammar traps
Homophones ("where" or "were", "it's" or "its", "you're" or "your"), agreement ("every expense", "something happens") and missing capitals on days of the week. These are the mistakes small AI models sometimes let through. If one survives, run the test again with a stronger model in the settings.
A signature on several lines
The name and the job title are separated by simple line breaks (Shift + Enter), like most email signatures. After the correction, each line should stay in place: no merged lines, no extra blank line.
And your own text
The editor is yours: delete everything and paste one of your emails. This page sends nothing. The correction goes from your Correctify to the AI provider of your key, like everywhere else.
You need Correctify to run the test
The Windows app corrects in any software, this page included. Free, no account, installed in two minutes. On a Mac or Linux? The Chrome and Firefox extensions work too.
Frequently asked questions
Nothing happens when I run the correction
First check that the text is actually selected in the editor, then that your API key is saved in the Correctify settings. Without a key, the shortcut or the right-click opens the settings instead of correcting.
Why is nothing underlined in red in the editor?
I turned off the browser spell checker in the editor. Its red squiggles would show the mistakes before the correction, and you could no longer see what Correctify found on its own.
Correctify missed a mistake, is that normal?
It can happen: the result depends on the AI model in use. Fast models are very good at spelling but sometimes miss a distant agreement. Run the test again with a stronger model, and if the mistake survives, tell me which one through the contact page.
Is formatting really kept?
With the Windows app and the Chrome and Firefox extensions, yes: Correctify compares the text before and after, and only replaces the characters that change. Headings, bold, colors and links are left alone. The editor's "Source code" button lets you check it in the HTML.
