Chose Read&Write
I really think that Read&Write outshines the competitors. Its variety of tools offers so many options to so many students/people. Some of the other tools were cumbersome, only worked on installed programs like MS Word or only worked in its own environment. Read&Write works …

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.

I recommend it to everyone! It's great for learning and researching, digesting learning however is best for you, such as listening, seeing it in a different color, etc. It's also great for people just wanting to function while at work. You can do all the fancy-dancy things, but actually, it can just help people get through their day-to-day, which is great!

Cons
Ginger Software
  • In the Company, we have worked for a year with the application and we have not found fault in it and we like everything that it allows us to do immediately and with great ease since its handling of spelling makes it very efficient, which wakes that our intelligence is better artificially.

  • I wish the Check It tool was available on the web (only in GDocs currently)
  • I wish the highlighter/collect highlights would collect citation information (kind of a combination of MyBib and highlighters)
  • One weird thing with the Reading tools (text-to-speech) is that if you are zoomed in to FIT on a GDoc it does glitchy stuff (skipping or not displaying) vs when you are at 100% zoom
  • why isn't Rewordify in Read&Write in a Google Doc? only on web version? Same for Simplify text tool.

I haven't experienced working with Ginger's support. The platform is straightforward and didn't require any support.

I always appreciate the emails with tips, tricks, videos and professional development. The tool is often changing for the better and it's good to stay in the loop. I have also been pleased with the tech support from Texthelp when needed. However, we rarely need tech support for the product. Our sales rep has helped us renew our license multiple times!

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.

Clicker was missing from the list. The benefit of using Read&Write over other software has been its integration with Google, and that it brings all the features into one toolbar. This means we are not adding additional cognitive load to our students.
