Does Grammar Cleanup Change My Missionary's Voice?

Grammar cleanup only fixes typos and spelling, it's optional, automated, and never changes your missionary's authentic voice.

No, grammar cleanup does not change your missionary's voice. It only fixes typos, spelling errors, and basic grammar mistakes, the kind that happen from typing quickly on a shared computer during a busy preparation day.

How it works

Grammar cleanup is optional and runs through an automated system, not a person. It looks for the mechanical errors that come from fast typing, like a missing letter, a misspelled word, or a dropped punctuation mark, and corrects those specific issues. No one reads your missionary's emails as part of this process.

For example, if your missionary types "we had 3 ppl come to church" while rushing on a shared library computer, cleanup might fix obvious typos, but it will not rewrite their casual tone, reword their sentences, or replace the way they naturally talk.

What this means for you

Your missionary's personality, stories, and authentic voice are always preserved. Cleanup narrows in on correcting mistakes, not restructuring how something is written or making your missionary sound more formal than they actually are. If you prefer the text exactly as your missionary typed it, with no corrections at all, you can turn cleanup off in your project settings.

Because you preview and edit your entire book before it prints, you will also see the final text either way, so nothing goes to print without you having a chance to look it over first.

Common questions

Can I turn grammar cleanup off entirely? Yes. It is optional and can be turned off in your project's settings if you would rather keep every email exactly as written.

Does a real person read my missionary's emails? No. Cleanup is handled entirely by an automated system, and no one on our team reads the emails as part of that process.

Does cleanup ever restructure sentences or paragraphs? No. It is limited to correcting typos, spelling, and basic grammar. It does not rewrite phrasing or change the structure of what your missionary wrote.
