After that, the user can choose to correct or ignore the comments. This add-in application has two advantages, firstly it can simplify and shorten the student’s time for checking the format and spelling; secondly it can ease the burden of the lecturer in examining the students writing. The running time for the Spell Checking process is 20.08 seconds for 5000 words of thesis, and the Format Checking is 1.16 seconds for 20 pages of thesis. | en |
