    Comments about Manuskript as an Alternative to Typely
    Guest
    Negative
    0

    I was looking for a tool that would help me correct drafts, not specifically a tool that (even if it seemed cool) just helps with making stories. I was looking for an alternative of a proofreading editor like Typely that would support more languages other than English.
