Grammarly is software that checks spelling and grammar while you write in desktop applications and sites across the web—as you move between apps, social media, documents, messages, and emails.

This version has increased detection and offers support through additional features such as a plagiarism detector. If you would like to access Grammarly premium, see more details in the Unitec Grammarly guide.
