I paid for #ChatPDF for ~2 years, but don’t see much value in it now. These days, my main workhorses / current obsessions are #Paperpal Prime (great for editing my own writing) and #PerfectIt for consistency.

Still, I’m looking for a (human) editor ahah.

#PerfectIt does recognize the "Do not check spelling and grammar" checkbox. #EAC2014

Embarrassing mistakes like "pubic" for "public" and "mange" for "manage" are already programmed into #PerfectIt. #EAC2014

Right now #PerfectIt detects inconsistencies in open vs. hyphenated compounds but not open vs. closed vs. hyphenated. #EAC2014

#PerfectIt flagged use of both "preventive" and "preventative" in the document. #EAC2014

#PerfectIt can generate a table of abbreviations! (Demo made the air pressure drop noticeably in the room.) #EAC2104

There are exceptions to every rule, so #PerfectIt does make you slow down and evaluate each situation. —Daniel Heuman #EAC2014

There's a small part #PerfectIt available for Mac (and free), but it's a shadow of the full suite. #EAC2014

Another reason to use heading styles: #PerfectIt checks for consistency in header case. #EAC2014
