You’ll soon be able to check grammar on Google search itself without having to visit other websites. Google has added a new grammar checker to its search engine, which uses “AI systems” to analyse language. It’s able to tell if “a phrase or sentence is written in a grammatically correct way or how to correct it, if not.”
While Google Docs and Gmail have had grammar checks built-in for a while now, this is the first time Google’s search engine has gained such a feature.
Google’s inclusion of AI-powered search is part of its ongoing effort to revamp its search engine to keep up with the artificial intelligence revolution. The product’s biggest rival, Microsoft Bing, already offers AI-powered search and chat capabilities but Google seems to be working on refining the tech further before rolling it out widely.
As part of Search Generative Experience, Google is now able to summarise information from multiple sources with citations in response to queries. The company also added generative AI tools into Docs and Gmail before launching its own ChatGPT-rival, Bard.
The grammar check feature on Google appears to be built on top of generative AI – the same tech that powers chatbots like Bard – and is therefore not 100% accurate. On its support page for the feature, Google says that the feature’s accuracy takes a hit with partial sentences. The feature also currently only works with English.
If you want Google to check your grammar, just type what you want to say in the search bar and add “grammar check” or “check grammar” at the end. This will turn on the magic feature that spots your mistakes.
Google will highlight and underline the parts that need fixing; if everything is fine, you’ll see a green check mark to let you know. You can copy the improved sentence by moving your mouse over it and clicking the Copy button that pops up.
