ProWritingAid categorizes this report into three categories:
Easy to read
Slightly difficult to read
Very difficult to read
prowritingaid_readability
A low readability score may actually be okay if you’re writing academic documents, but not if you’re writing for the general public or for a blog.
Sticky Sentences
Another notable feature of this editing tool is the detecting telegram data of “sticky sentences”. These sentences contain “glue words” that delay the reader from getting to a sentence’s point or thought. Glue words can be taken off of a sentence without taking away its meaning.
prowritingaid_sticky
This feature isn’t something I’ve seen in other editing apps.
Consistency
The Consistency check is the tool’s way of making sure that you use the same rules all throughout the content. This includes spelling, hyphenation, capitalization, and punctuation.
So if you used italics to indicate a book title in the first part of the text but then used quote marks the second time, it will show on this report. This is important if you’re following a specific style such as AP or Chicago Manual.
prowritingaid_consistency
I’ve seen Grammarly correct punctuation use and I’m always guilty of not using the serial comma. In this tool, however, you’re given a breakdown of your inconsistencies.
Sentence Length
One writing technique I’ve come across is to vary sentence length.
