Scribens uses an AI-powered syntactical recognition engine to detect and correct grammar and spelling mistakes, covering conjugations, agreement errors, homonyms, punctuation and typography, and states it corrects more than 90% of the mistakes in a submitted text. Every flagged mistake comes with a clear explanation of the underlying grammar rule, positioning the tool as a learning aid as much as a corrector, and it works directly inside Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and Messenger as well as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Google Docs and Sheets through dedicated extensions. Founded in 2012 in France, the company states more than 5 million people regularly use its grammar corrector, and no submitted text is stored on its servers.
The free plan is capped at 8,000 characters a day, and the more substantial Premium features — including unlimited text paraphrasing across 20 tones and up to 5 million characters a month — require a paid subscription. Scribens’ revenue comes from advertising on the free tier, so free users should expect ads across the site.
The Free edition covers grammar and spelling correction, rule explanations, dictionaries and support for 40 languages, capped at 8,000 characters a day, funded by advertising. Scribens Premium removes ads, raises the correction limit to 5 million characters a month (100,000 per check), adds every browser and office-app extension, and includes unlimited AI text paraphrasing across 20 tones.
