Punctuation checker FAQ
What does the punctuation checker fix?
It reviews missing or incorrect punctuation, punctuation spacing, quotation punctuation, and sentence boundaries. It is not intended to rewrite your ideas or vocabulary.
Can it check languages other than English?
Yes. It keeps the corrected text in the source language and applies punctuation conventions that fit that language when possible. Mixed-language and specialist writing still deserves a final review.
Will it change my wording or meaning?
The checker is instructed to preserve wording, meaning, facts, tone, paragraph breaks, lists, and formatting. It may adjust capitalization only when a corrected sentence boundary requires it.
Does it follow every style guide?
No single punctuation choice fits every editorial guide. Review optional commas, quotation conventions, and specialist formatting against the style guide you need to follow.
How is my text handled?
A text file is read locally in your browser, then the extracted text is sent through YouMind’s server to the AI provider for checking. The text and file name are kept out of analytics events. Avoid confidential or regulated material.
Should I publish the corrected text without reviewing it?
No. Read the corrected version in context, especially for quotations, dialogue, legal or academic writing, code, data, and house-style decisions.
