Spelling and Grammar Check

✅ Fix spelling, punctuation and grammar in one go.
This feature helps you feel confident that your writing is correct and polished. It reviews your selected text and suggests improvements for:

  • Spelling errors

  • Grammar issues

  • Punctuation

Educa Assist supports both US and UK English spelling and grammar conventions. Site Admins can switch variants:

  1. Go to Settings > Site Settings > Educa Assist

  2. Under the "Spelling and Grammar" section, use the dropdown menu to select your preferred English variant.

Improve Flow and Tone

✅ Ideal when you want your message to land well — and are open to a second take.
This feature offers light-touch suggestions to help your writing flow better and feel clear and natural, while keeping your voice and message. It’s designed to:

  • Sharpen your writing without taking over

  • Offer a helpful second look at how things flow

  • Support your voice, not replace it

You’ll still want to read it back and make it your own. It’s not about rewriting for you - you write first, then choose if you'd like a bit of polish.

💡 Suggestions are optional — keep what works, ignore the rest.

Add Emojis

✅ Add a little extra fun or feeling to your message.
This feature suggests emojis based on your writing. It’s a light-touch way to:

  • Sprinkle in personality or playfulness

  • Make updates even more engaging for families

  • Highlight emotions or key moments visually

Translate

✅ Bridge language gaps and make communication easier for everyone.
This feature lets you translate between English and 15 supported languages — in either direction. It's helpful for:

  • Adding a translated version of a story so families can read in their home language

  • Writing in your own language first, then translating to English — great for teachers who are more confident in another language

  • Helping families comment in their home language, then translating their responses to English to keep the conversation going
