Specific rules get specific edits. ### Review the changes Click Optimize Article (1 credit). The result opens from AI Proofread Articles in your history, with the guidelines used and every change listed by category. ## What the AI proofreader does It follows your rules, not a generic style guide, and shows you exactly what it changed. ### Your rules, not generic ones The editor is told to follow your guidelines exactly and to make only the changes they ask for. ### Two-step editing First it lists the edits your guidelines call for, then a second pass applies only those edits to the HTML. ### Edits checked Each pass is checked to confirm the HTML really changed. Only edits reported as applied in a pass that changed the HTML appear in your change list. ### Final review A last pass reads the whole article against your guidelines and fixes anything still out of line. ### Word count control Ask for the same word count, or a target such as 400 to 500 words, and the editor is given the original count and the target to stay within. ### Long articles in sections Long HTML is split into sections of about 15,000 characters at element boundaries, edited one by one and joined back together. ### A list of changes The article view shows the guidelines you used and each change with its category. ### Part of article writing Tick AI Proofreading in Quick Mode, the wizard, bulk, WordPress bulk, YouTube to blog, RSS or the API and your guidelines run on every article for 1 extra credit. ### A safety net When it runs during article writing, a result shorter than 30% of the original is thrown away and your article is kept as written. ## AI proofreader pricing The AI proofreader costs 1 credit per article and is included on every paid plan, from Starter at $19 a month (40 credits). Added to an article you are writing, AI Proofreading adds 1 credit to that article's cost.

Whatever your guidelines ask for: grammar and spelling, tone, a UK or US spelling variant, words to avoid, formatting or length. It is told to make only the changes your guidelines request, so write them as specific rules. ### How much does the AI proofreader cost? 1 credit per article, on any paid plan from Starter ($19 a month). Ticking AI Proofreading on an article you are writing adds 1 credit to that article. ### Can the AI proofreader keep my word count? Yes. If your guidelines say "same word count" or give a target such as 400 to 500 words, the editor is given the original count and the target to stay within. ### Will proofreading break my HTML formatting? It edits the HTML directly and is instructed to return the same markup with only the requested edits, so headings, lists and links carry through. You can paste up to 20,000 characters. ### How long does AI proofreading take? The dashboard estimates 2 to 5 minutes per article. You can leave the page: the result is saved under AI Proofread Articles in your history. ### What is the difference between AI and human proofreading? The AI proofreader applies your written rules for 1 credit. Human proofreading sends an article you generate to Autoblogging.ai's editors and uses a separate human-proofreading credit ($5 each). ## Related tools [Human proofreading service](https://autoblogging.ai/feature/human-proofreader/) [Intense optimizer](https://autoblogging.ai/feature/intense-optimizer/) [content optimization tool](https://autoblogging.ai/content-optimization-tool/) ## Get started with the AI proofreader Create a free account with 10 free credits a month for Quick Mode, then unlock the AI proofreader on the Starter plan ($19 a month) or above.
