Ginger Software
It [Ginger] is a perfect tool for daily work because it has allowed us to create and write better content with exceptional writing and excellent grammar. It has an MS Word add-on [and] our team has used it through a desktop application and mobile. It has proven to be an appropriate platform for all companies; the API has allowed us to deeply review all the grammar, and each document or HTML pages to correct any type of error.

  • Performance has been an issue initially. Sometimes it takes longer for some things to load and it can be frustrating.
  • UI seems a bit confusing at times. For example, I don't understand why I need to have a translator's profile when I'm clearly a project manager.
  • Their support team can take a long time to reply which often crucial for urgent projects.

Have used Grammarly ealrier which is also a good tool available in market. If comparing the cost thing then i believe GInger is a bit costly [Premium/Buisness] version compare to Grammarly. However, In my opinion it is completely dependent on the end user that how comfortable they are while using a software/API like this. For me, Ginger is the first option to use for my learning/writing skills.
