Proofing software

[grahamsealby]

Is there a proofing programme specifically for authors? I've been using word and Grammarly as my proofreader and I'm not happy with either. Can someone recommend a better proofing software? I've been looking at Ginger and something called 'white smoke'. They all indulge in aggressive marketing in that they push you to sign for paid subs without being able to evaluate the basic programme. I use dialogue in my stories so I need to have ready dictionary access so the proofing doesn't throw up continual and similar errors. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know of any, but I haven't looked. I access the writing help onsite and elsewhere, like Chicago Manual of Style, and rely on my editor to spot problems or errors I've missed.  Cheers... Gary....
