Quick Answer: Document Editors with AI Proofreading
A document editor with AI proofreading lets you fix spelling and grammar errors and polish tone inside the same app where you write—without copying text into a separate checker. In WPS Writer, open the WPS AI Tab, use Productivity Tools, and choose AI Spell Check to highlight mistakes with side-panel suggestions, or AI Refine (Improve Writing) to polish selected sentences by tone. Always review AI output manually—WPS Academy notes that technical terms may be flagged, long paragraphs may cluster errors, and Refine can change your original tone. An internet connection is required for AI processing.
WPS Writer is part of a free all-in-one suite to edit Word, Excel, and PPT on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. WPS AI Writer supports DOC and DOCX while preserving formatting and layout per WPS Academy; WPS states 100% Compatible with Microsoft File Formats—verify on your target files before sharing proofread output.

What AI Proofreading Means in a Document Editor
AI proofreading in a word processor combines automated error detection with optional AI-driven polish while you stay in the document. Unlike pasting text into a standalone grammar site, an integrated editor keeps formatting, headings, and layout intact as you accept or reject suggestions.
In WPS Writer, WPS AI Writer functions as an AI document generator inside the editor with capabilities including structured drafts, image text conversion, spell check, and translation per WPS Academy. For proofreading-focused work, the relevant tools are AI Spell Check (surface errors and suggestions) and AI Refine / Improve Writing (tone and structure polish)—not draft generation alone.
Editorial check: AI proofreading accelerates a first pass; it does not certify legal, medical, or publication-ready copy without human review.
Spell Check vs AI Refine vs Manual Review
| Tool | What it does | Best for | Limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI Spell Check | Highlights mistakes; lists errors in a side panel; Accept All applies corrections | Catching spelling and grammar issues in a full document | May flag technical terms; long paragraphs may cluster errors |
| AI Refine (Improve Writing) | Improves structure and professionalism on selected sentences with tone-matched suggestions | Polishing tone, clarity, and flow after errors are fixed | May change original tone; review each Accept carefully |
| Manual review | You read every change in context | Final pass before sharing or publishing | Required even after AI—Academy recommends review and edit |
| Smart Create | Generates structured drafts from prompts | Starting new content—not primary proofreading | Out of scope for proofreading an existing draft |
Use Spell Check first for errors, Refine second for polish on chosen sentences, then manual review for meaning, terminology, and tone fidelity.
WPS Writer AI Proofreading Tools (Productivity Tools Menu)
WPS Writer includes AI Spell Check and AI Refine (Improve Writing) in the WPS AI Tab / Productivity Tools menu alongside Smart Create per WPS Academy.
To reach proofreading tools on desktop:
Open WPS Office and launch WPS Writer (or open a document).
Select the WPS AI Tab.
Open Productivity Tools.
Choose Spell Check for error detection or Refine for sentence-level polish.
The productivity menu shows Smart Create, Refine, and Spell Check for local document editing—the entry point for AI proofreading workflows documented in the WPS Academy AI document generator guide.
Editorial check: WPS fits users who want built-in AI spell check and refine inside a familiar Word-class editor without switching apps.
How to Run AI Spell Check in WPS Writer
Follow the WPS Academy workflow to proofread an existing document for spelling and grammar errors:
Open WPS Office.
Go to the WPS AI Tab.
Select AI Spell Check.
Click Choose File and select your document.
Click Open.
Review the suggestions panel—mistakes are highlighted in the document and listed in the side panel with suggestions.
Apply corrections with Accept All, or review individual suggestions before accepting.
Editorial check: Scan flagged technical terms and domain-specific language before accepting bulk corrections. Spell Check catches many surface errors but is not a substitute for a human proofreader.
How to Use AI Refine to Polish Your Draft
After fixing errors—or when you need clearer, more professional phrasing—use AI Refine:
Open WPS Office.
Go to the WPS AI Tab.
Select Improve Writing (Refine).
Click Choose File and select your document.
Click Open.
Select the sentence you want to polish.
Choose a tone for the suggestion.
Click Accept to apply, or skip suggestions that alter your intended meaning.
WPS AI Refine reviews content to improve structure and professionalism. WPS Academy recommends selecting specific sentences and matching tone for best results rather than accepting blanket changes across long passages.
Editorial check: Refine may change original tone. Re-read accepted sentences in document context before sharing.
Tips, Limits, and When to Review Manually
Always plan a manual review pass after AI Spell Check or Refine. WPS Academy states AI results still require review and edit and that an internet connection is needed for AI processing.
Common watchouts documented in the Academy guide:
Technical terms flagged — industry jargon may appear as errors; reject incorrect suggestions.
Long-paragraph clustering — many flags in one block can hide context; proofread section by section.
Inaccurate refinements — AI polish may miss nuance; do not Accept every Refine suggestion.
Tone changes — Refine can shift voice away from your original style.
File compatibility: WPS AI Writer supports DOC and DOCX while preserving formatting and layout per Academy FAQ. WPS pricing states 100% Compatible with Microsoft File Formats—verify against target files before you email or publish proofread documents.
Cross-platform note: WPS is listed for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android; the step-by-step AI Tab workflows above follow desktop Academy documentation. Confirm AI tool availability on your device before relying on mobile paths not covered in the primary guide.
Do not claim: AI Spell Check or Refine replaces professional proofreading; that Spell Check catches every error; or that Refine preserves original tone on all content.
