DoPeopleSay

Hey ProductHunt, the creator of DoPeopleSay is here! The project is my attempt to help non-native English speakers to achieve better writing. As a non-native speaker myself, I often struggled to figure out if I use a word or phrase correctly. I used to google the phrase but it didn't quite work all the time. That's how I came across an idea to build a user-friendly full-text search service of spoken English. It took me a few weeks to build it and now I'm here (quite surprisingly thanks to @micrum). The service helps me a lot in my everyday writing. I hope it will helpful for you too! Looking forward to your feedback.

As a non-native speaker, I am always looking for ways to improve my English and DoPeopleSay is a kind of tool that could help me eliminate grammar and style errors (way better than Google exact search :)

And anyway a good start, and the project is already helpful. Hope to see it will grow and become more powerful.

Pros:

Much better then Google for search by spoken word

Cons:

would like to have more smart search

DoPeopleSay is a great project. What usually differentiates native speaker from non-native? Non-natives use 'outdated' version of language, the one they were taught in schools by non-native speaking teachers. When people start to communicate with native speakers they hear new phrases and words, but not always do they know how to use them correctly. So why this project is so cool. Right now it uses Reddit as it's source of a live 'up to date' language. The way real people do speak right now. On 'search' DPS shows different fragments with various contexts, thus user gets a full picture on how to use phrase in question.

I always use google translate. And sometimes i need to see how the word or phrase used in sentence. So i use google and social medya for usage of phrase.

Pros:

it self :)

Cons:

translating search term to other language will be very good for me. But this s not cons actually.

DPS is so much better than just a random google search (yes, as a non-native English speaker I used to google perfect words combinations in phrases I wasn't sure about). The other thing that is painful for non natives is using proper prepositions. DPS helps me with that, too.

Pros:

Simplicity

Cons:

Haven't found any

Hey @henadzit, are planning to incorporate more formal (literature) datasets into the app?
