Nothing can ruin a great blog piece, email or social media post like an editing error. Whether it's spelling, grammar, or context, writing errors can happen to the best of us. Often times, proof-reading just isn't enough and you need a little extra help. That's where these 4 awesome apps come in! This nifty software can scan your content for any "oopsies" and alert you before you hit the publish button, saving you from potential stress or embarrassment. Check them out!

1. After The Deadline - If you use WordPress, you may want to check out this awesome app. After The Deadline scans your web content and blog posts for potential spelling, grammar or contextual errors, and highlights them with a color-coded key to let you know what type of error you've made. This is a great choice if you're looking for a tool that can do a quick review or "second look" on your content to catch errors you may have bypassed. You can learn more about the app and it's functionality here.
