Great Tool For Everyone

PROS

Whether you are publishing content or sending an internal memo Ginger is a great tool and ad on extension that integrates with your existing programs. It is great in a pinch when you do not have the time to have something proofed by copy writers.

CONS

It glitches at times and erases what you've written.

Adding spice to copywriting

PROS

Ginger is a good, cost effective grammar software add on that works with both Widows and Mac. It integrates into a number of programs and is also available for iPad. As a native U.K. English speaker it offers that as a spell check and grammar as well as US English

CONS

The pop up can be intrusive in some web apps. In particular it has caused issues in Miro, browser based, when trying to add text

Reason for choosing Ginger

Cost and U.K. English option

Reasons for switching to Ginger

The company is not responsive to any user queries- See: [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]

PROS

It used to be a great product. It worked well with MS Word.

CONS

Ginger is taking people's money and its not working at all! Ginger stop working on MS Office - since Flash is required and is has been discontinued. It is also not working in Google Doc. They are now running a fraudulent operation. It used to be great and I was and will be a great fan - if it starts working again - At this stage they are sealing users' money!

A decent tool to improve your writing

I have been using Ginger for many years to check, correct, and rephrase my writing to make my papers flawless.

PROS

Very simple and easy-to-use tool. Flexible. it works on PCs and mobile. I like that it can be easily integrated into Microsoft word and chrome. Ginger has many helpful features, like paraphrasing and read back, which is very appreciated by non-native English speakers.

CONS

I find it very annoying not to work with Google Docs. Also, the chrome extension does not work properly. It would be great if there is full offline proofreading. Other than that, I am very pleased with Ginger.

Vendor Response

Hello, Thank you for your feedback.. We currently don't fully support Google Docs but we are working to be fully compatible with Google docs. If you encounter with any technical issues, please contact our support staff - support@gingersoftware.com. Regards, The Ginger Team

Mastering English Grammar with Ginger

PROS

Ginger is a great tool to improve English grammar skills. Ginger provides easy-to-use features that help identify and correct grammar mistakes, such as misused words, spelling mistakes, plagiarism, incorrect verb tenses, and incorrect punctuation. The best feature I liked about Ginger is explanations for each mistake, so users can understand why it was made and how to avoid making the same mistake in the future. Ginger offers a wide range of writing and editing tools that can help users refine their writing.

CONS

I'm really satisfied with what Ginger offers. Ginger needs upgrade its add-in for MS office suite and Ginger Desktop application, it is a old school application needs to improve its UI.

Vendor Response
