What can Grammarly do?
The AI-powered tool Grammarly supports you with English texts by correcting text, checking for plagiarism, and – now new – creating and adapting English texts using generative AI.
“The professor writes good well.”
Do you want your e-mail or publication to be professionally written? Grammarly helps you optimise your English texts. It can:
- check grammar
- correct spelling
- make style suggestions
And you’ll improve your English skills at the same time.
Particularly useful in a university environment: Grammarly can also check English texts for plagiarism.
A demo on the Grammarly website shows how it works.
Advanced AI features for English texts
Do you need writing support from scratch or content suggestions? With the new generative AI feature – accessible via the light bulb icon – you can use your own prompts or prompt templates to:
- create new texts, such as e-mail responses
- receive content feedback and suggestions for improvement
- change the tone (humorous, formal, friendly, etc.) or adapt the text to a different target audience (academics, first-year students, etc.)
- simplify texts, paraphrase, and much more
Perfect texts wherever you write
The Pro version available via the self-service portal also includes the Grammarly Editor. This lets you write, edit, and create texts directly in your browser without installing additional applications.
In addition to online use in your browser, Grammarly is also available as an app. Once installed, you can use Grammarly locally on your PC and mobile device – for easy improvement or for writing texts in Office or e-mail programs, for example.
AI used in compliance with data protection regulations
The version of Grammarly that the University of Vienna provides is data protection compliant and ensures that your data is treated securely and confidentially. This means you can use the tool without hesitation for your academic and administrative tasks.
