I work on a Mac and this morning I remembered that the Writing Tools AI is available system-wide. After selecting a paragraph of text I ran the proofread option and it fixed broken words and punctuation in one go. It also ignored any embedded tags such as <em>.
FYI - The texts I work with are mostly from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and in the public domain. I'm turning them into ePubs mostly to force myself to read them more closely during the proofreading step and to learn the markup language. I'm exploring AI very carefully, mostly asking the various LLMs about things I'm actively studying so that I can verify the responses. I don't blindly accept assertions from humans either.
