Instant software check or professional proofreading: the difference
Software finds typos. A person finds the places where your text says something other than what you mean. For a quick look at a draft, the free AI proofreader is enough. For work that will be graded, published or printed, trained proofreaders and editors read every sentence.

What proofreading means at corrected.eu
A person with a university degree and at least seven years of professional experience reads your whole text and marks every change so you can follow it. More than 10,000 texts a year pass through our hands.
Proofreading academic work
In a bachelor thesis, master thesis or dissertation every comma counts, and so does consistency: the same spelling of technical terms, one citation style throughout, clean numbering of figures and tables. We check these points along with spelling and grammar.
Worried your thesis could end up in a university database? Your file stays with us and is deleted after 7 days at the latest.
How it works
Upload your file, choose proofreading or editing and set the delivery time. You see the final price straight away, calculated on standard pages of 1,800 characters. No account is needed.
You get two versions back: one with tracked changes so you can follow every edit, and a clean version with all changes accepted so you can keep working right away.
Proofreading or editing: what your text needs
Proofreading removes errors but leaves your wording as it is. Editing goes further and works on expression, sentence structure and flow so that your text convinces.
Rule of thumb: if your text is finished and your language is confident, proofreading is enough. If you struggled while writing or are not writing in your first language, editing pays off.
English, German and other languages
For English texts you choose British or American English, and we apply it consistently. German texts are corrected according to the official German spelling rules. Mixed documents, such as a German thesis with an English abstract, are checked by the same person so the terminology stays consistent. See English proofreading and translation.
Frequently asked questions
Everything important about proofreading, editing and plagiarism checks.
What is professional editing?
Good texts convince through structure, clarity and inner logic, not length. Professional editing sharpens the content, orders it logically and adapts it to its readers, on top of correcting the language.
What does editing check beyond spelling?
Editing reviews style, clarifies vague wording and simplifies awkward sentences. The text stays yours: tone, terminology and the way you address your readers are kept and improved.
Who are your editors?
Only qualified editors with proven expertise. Depending on the text, an editor with a matching subject background takes over, so technical terms are used correctly and the content is understood.
Is there express editing for tight deadlines?
Yes. With express delivery your text is checked within 48 or 24 hours, by the same experienced editors and without cutting corners.
How does the plagiarism check work?
Your text is compared with billions of web pages, journals and publications. The report lists every match with its source and percentage. See the plagiarism checker.
Can you detect AI-generated text?
Our AI detector analyses every sentence for typical patterns of ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Claude and other models and gives an overall score for the document.
What does proofreading cost?
Proofreading starts at €1.90 per standard page of 1,800 characters, with a minimum order of €19. Delivery within 48 hours costs €2.90 and within 24 hours €4.90 per standard page.
