Very useful. Stays in the background but when called on, it really supports the work you are doing.

VERY HELPFUL!
by JOHN MURRAY ALFORD, 2025-01-20

I have been loving PRA for a few years since switching from Grammarly. Recently I found it was missing mistakes inc. spelling! YIKES I wrote to the people at PRA. They said they were busy and would see what was going on soon. 36 hours later, they wrote and found I'd disable many of the correction features. The remarkable thing was they offered to fix it remotely. Bingo: I went form 0 suggestions to over 1000 in my 74000 document. Amazing and thankful
