==Useful tools==
* [https://wordcounter.net/ WordCounter] counts characters and sentences, and makes other measurements. It can also help improve grammar, word choice, and writing style, as well as detect [[Wikipedia:Plagiarism|plagiarism]].
* [[LanguageTool]] has a free plugin for popular web browsers that checks spelling, grammar, usage, and punctuation.
* Most word-processing software, such as [[Microsoft Word]] and [[LibreOffice]], have built-in spelling and grammar checkers; for instructions, see {{section link|Wikipedia:Spellchecking#Using word-processor software}}.

Please be careful when using these and other tools; they are not infallible. You should manually check the output of online tools and spelling checkers for factual accuracy, grammar, spelling and the [[WP:ENGVAR|correct variety of English]], and the output should be corrected where necessary. Editors are fully responsible for their own edits regardless of any tools they use.
