Proofreading blog drafts using Copilot Sidebar
By Anatoly Mironov
While working on a blog post, I discovered a way to proofread my drafts in an easy way. This might not be very revolutionary, but it was so convenient that I wanted to share it with the world.
I use Hugo for my static website. On my local computer I can preview it in the browser under localhost:1313. Copilot Sidebar in Edge does the same! This means I can ask it to proofread it.
This is as simple as that. Copilot reads my draft and gives me suggestions on how to improve my text, and this is a huge help for me as a non-native English speaker.
Why it is good
- It is easily integrated in the overall process of creating new blog posts
- No additional application required
- It has no additional cost
- It respects the privacy, in a smart way (either by the keyword “proofread” or the fact that it is hosted on localhost).
