Great stuff. What would you say is the difference between human proofreading and machine proofreading?
Steve Gertz
@nogahsenecky There’s a big difference. There’s no comparison between human proofreading capabilities and machine-based proofreading capabilities. Test this yourself on several different documents and see the results.

@robertnachum7 Thanks for the hunt! To our friends on Product Hunt: We're so excited to get this out to you all! Our vision is to create clear channels of communication and allow anyone, anywhere to write well, without barriers. We help people with dyslexia, business people, students and others to write proper emails and other texts. Having dyslexia myself, it was exciting for me to join and volunteer at eAngel and help promote the solution, which uses real professional proofreaders to correct and improve your texts in minutes. eAngel is a decentralized network of Angels with a mission to improve global communication. There are various ways you can use our proofreading service. If you're using Gmail, you can add our browser plugin, then have your email proofread by clicking a buttone. If you don't have Gmail, that's fine; simply send us your email via a designated email address or through our website. You can get the Gmail plugin here: http://eangel.me/gmail-plugin We are also proud to officially launch our Word add-in here: https://store.office.com/app.asp... With the add-in you can have your .docx files proofread directly from Word. If you don't use Word, simply upload the document here: http://eangel.me/proofread-word-... When you get the corrections, you can see the tracked changes and choose which changes to accept or reject. If you have a Wordpress blog you can add our plugin here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ea... , and if you don't use Wordpress simply send us your page link and we will correct it here: http://eangel.me/proofread-a-web... And, of course, we also have a mobile application you can use. eAngel is great if you want to have your marketing materials proofread or to send polished emails to your customers. We also have professional proofreaders who volunteer at eAngel, and our long-term goal is to reduce prices as much as possible while maintaining quality. We’re offering 1,000 words for free to the first 30 people who use this link to register and try our service: https://eangel.me/r/hb35yp9 - To the rest we’re giving 500 words. Please share any feedback or questions. Thanks again!

Here is my upvote. I have been using Grammarly lately to help me catch my mistakes and now eAngel looks equally interesting. I imagine it works better, because texts are checked by other human beings. And that brings a question - how confidential is it?
Steve Gertz
@darekdoesstuff Great question Darek. Firstly, our Angels (proofreaders) don’t see who sent the text, they don’t see the subject of the email and they don’t see the attached files, so it protects your identity. Secondly, all of them are committed to the confidentiality, legally.
Cassandra Beaulieu
I've tried this for my wordpress blogs and it works like a charm! I love the fact that there's a gmail plugin, perfect to send great emails. I do recommend it to everybody who needs a little help to send good emails. For business people, it's a must!
Joe Cotellese
I think this is an interesting concept. From the video it sounds like an email is sent to eangel which then corrects and forwards it along to the intended recipient. How do you manage the email To / Reply trail then?
Steve Gertz
@joecotellese I'm not sure I understand your question, can you please elaborate?
Ed Leake
Interesting concept, even if it's not new - I've not previously heard of it. My 3 biggest concerns with this sort of service would be: 1) How fast does my email get to the recipient? 2) Confidentiality is covered in your promo vid, but, who actually sees my stuff? 3) Repercussions of being 'discovered' using such a service. Point 2 for me is the biggest objection, I run a business. A big chunk of my emails are exclusively around legal, money and clients. How would my clients feel if they ever discovered my emails were being intercepted by an external party? That said, I might not be the ideal customer for this as I'm using email less and less (by choice) and most of my email comms are high-level (hence confidentiality concerns).
Steve Gertz
@edleake Thanks Ed. Regarding response times - these are live and are published on our website. We're talking about a few minutes on average. As far as confidentiality, our Angels (proofreaders) don’t see who sent the text, they don’t see the subject of the email and they don’t see the attached files, so it protects your identity. Besides that, all of them are committed to the confidentiality, legally. Using our service is as safe as using Gmail, using iCloud, using Streak CRM or any other service. If you want, you can always hide from your email the most sensitive secrets (using our Save in Drafts mode), and then add them back before sending the text to the actual recipient. When you add our Gmail extension, while composing the email, press our eAngel logo and choose 'Save in Drafts'.

I've been using this service for some time. It works like magic! Do you support all languages?
Steve Gertz
@robertnachum7 We support a few languages: English, French, Spanish, German and more on the way.
Oded Onn
I have used eAngel multiple times in the last couple of months and I am really happy with this service. Response time is fantastic - I usually get my emails proofread within 5-20 minutes and the corrections are spot on. Saved me time and makes my client comm way more professional .. highly recommended!
Steve Gertz
@odedonn We're glad that you're happy!
Yaniv Goldenberg
What is your response time?
Steve Gertz
@yanivgoldenberg Our median response time which is published on our website, is 4.5 minutes. This is the median time it takes us to start working on a task.

What’s the difference between what you guys are doing and other proofreading services?
Steve Gertz
@yoav_aziz We believe that our product has the best combination of speed, quality, and pricing. You are welcome to give it a try. Furthermore, our price depends on the quality of your original text: if you have a better level of English you pay less than someone who needs more help and has a lower level of English. So, essentially, the pricing is adaptive to your needs. Besides that, you can correct many types of texts: emails, articles, web pages, Wordpress blog posts, Word documents, and more.

How confidential is eAngel?
Steve Gertz
@philipkushmaro Great question. Firstly, our Angels (proofreaders) don’t see who sent the text, they don’t see the subject of the email and they don’t see the attached files, so it protects your identity. Secondly, all of them are committed to the confidentiality, legally.
Rick and Judi Ludwig

Their corrections are always accurate, and they allow you to see all of the changes that were made. The site is very simple to use. You can't beat the pricing and quick service. Definitely recommend this site for proofreading.

Pros:

One of the best things about eAngel.me is how fast they start proofreading your email or paper and how fast they return it.

Cons:

There is nothing negative I can say about this company.

Amy Guo
Do we get to review the proofread version before sending it out?
Steve Gertz
@amy_guo Hi Amy, yes, you have that option. After you install the browser extension, and you compose a new email, right next to 'Send with eAngel' you have our settings button (see our logo). In the settings you can choose 'Place in Drafts'. After correction, the corrected copy will appear in your drafts. You can then review it and modify it as you wish. When you're done, you press Send - and that's it. If you want to correct .docx files, you can do it here: https://eangel.me/proofread-word... - or, even better, use our Word add-in.
Elya Weingrod
Looks cool! Are you doing double proofreading?
Steve Gertz
@elyawp Because we want to keep prices low, we don't do double proofreading by default. However, if you would like your document checked a second time, simply send back the corrected text you've received from eAngel and we'll do another round of proofreading. If enough customers request double proofreading, we'll add it as an option.
igor komarnitskiy
I will recommend to all friends!!!
Steve Gertz
@nymdar4eg Thanks Igor!
Yonatan Doron
Sounds great. What browsers or platforms do you support?
Steve Gertz
@yonatan_doron Many. For the Gmail extension we support Chrome, Firefox and Safari. We also have an iPhone and Android app, Wordpress plugin, Word add-in and more...
Vassili Philippov
I use it during the last year and really love this service!
Steve Gertz
@vassiliph Thanks for the support Vassili :)
