What does ScanMyDocument not do?
• ScanMyDocument does not evaluate the intent of content; therefore, it is possible for a section of a scanned paper containing erroneous information to be grammatically correct and uncommented. • Although considerable effort has been expended to assure accuracy in identifying writing problems and inserting appropriate comments, not all grammar or style errors are addressed. As an example, the placement of a comma ahead of the word ‘which’ is an issue that appears to be too subjective for a rule-based decision. • This tool continues to evolve as new rules are added; thus, writers should not assume that all grammar, style, or sentence errors are commented. Based on the results from scanning thousands of files, it appears that comments and their recommendations are correct about 95% of the time. Your results may vary. • Although this tool has been helpful to many users, the paper’s quality remains the responsibility of the writer.
