Being a copywriter I use several tools in order to improve the working process and make it more efficient. I have been using Chrome extensions as a part of my daily work to make my writing better. If you are a marketer, a blogger or just a person who wants to enhance their writing skills these extensions will help a lot. Let me describe the applications that I use most frequently, and I hope that at least one of them will be useful for you at work or at study.
1. LanguageTool
LanguageTool has been my favourite extension for years and I still believe it is one of the most effective ways of detecting grammar and spelling mistakes. Especially useful in Spanish, it can recognize the misspelled words, words without accents and even wrong punctuation marks. Despite the fact that it has its drawbacks and may sometime fail to recognize words with different meanings, it is still very helpful.
The only drawback is that it ceases the correction process at 1600 words because it is structured on the freemium basis. However for short writing, it is a very helpful tool. You can download it from the Chrome Web Store; a collection of recommended apps that can be added to the new Chrome.
2. OneTab
If you have ever found yourself with several tabs open while browsing through the internet, then you must try OneTab. This extension helps you to store your open tabs by a certain group and it is convenient to find it later on. It is quite helpful in noting down sources and websites which you may require in your writing. Also, it has collaborative features that will suit the purpose of group work or joint research activities.
3. SEOquake
If you write blog posts or create websites, SEOquake is one of the tools you can’t miss. This tool is helpful in assessing the seo optimization of any given web page and gives data on the word count, keyword density and links. However, it does have a tendency of bringing in non-relevant information from social media feeds or menus, yet it is a valuable tool for anyone who wants to enhance his or her site’s SEO standing.
4. Similar Sites
Similar Sites is very useful when searching for more information because research is vital in writing. It works by you having to click on the extension while on any webpage and it will display a list of similar websites along with visit statistics and ranking. If you need to verify some information or compare your and your competitors’ data, this extension will be useful and help you go deeper.
These tools will assist you in coming up with great content, enhance the quality of your work and reduce time spent in research. Here is the list of the best Chrome extensions that will help you with your school papers, blog posts, or professional articles.
