I found something awesome!!! · 4:13am Jan 13th, 2013
Okay so this thing is called an auto reviewer.

At first I thought: Man this thing is stupid. A robot can't tell me anything! A person is needed. I'll just put in my latest chapter just to see how awesome I made it.
Holy crap was I wrong. This thing is amazing! It caught so many errors that I didn't see after cycling through time after time. It's a good thing I gave this a spin before my reviews came in. Umbra would've raped me...
I'm going to fix these in the meantime. None of it is a big deal; Mostly just misplaced periods in dialogue (always had a habit of making that specific error). Quite a few adverbs too, but I like them when they're kept under control. Anyways, check it out. You'll be surprised.
I, for one, welcome our computer editor overlords.
Hmm. How interesting. I don't think it'll be better than a human editor, but it's definitely worth looking into.
EDIT: I used it to check a passage of something I was writing. It caught nothing other than those extra spaces I sometimes leave between sentences, and what I intentionally capitalized to add emphasis. Although the thing isn't fantastic, I like the word counts and the other useful tools it has. I can say that it's going under my favorites.
Oh my gosh, I never expected anything that awesome. I totally want to check everything I write through it now. Need to watch my passive voice. Never thought a computer checker would do that.
Enjoy. I like share useful resources when I find them.
