FAQ

What punctuation errors does it detect?

Missing commas, misplaced periods, incorrect apostrophes, semicolon vs. comma confusion, missing quotation marks, run-on sentences, and comma splices. The AI understands context, not just rules.

Can it fix comma splices?

Yes. A comma splice joins two independent clauses with just a comma. The AI detects these and suggests a period, semicolon, or coordinating conjunction — with an explanation of why each fix works.

Does it check apostrophes and possessives?

Yes — it catches "its" vs. "it's", missing possessive apostrophes ("the teams strategy" → "the team's strategy"), and incorrect plural apostrophes ("apple's" when you mean "apples").

Is this different from the Grammar Checker?

Same AI engine, different focus. This page emphasizes punctuation — commas, periods, apostrophes, semicolons. The <a href="/grammar-checker">Grammar Checker</a> page covers the full range of grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

Does it handle quotation marks and semicolons?

Yes. It checks for proper quotation mark pairing, correct placement of commas and periods inside/outside quotes (American vs. British style), and appropriate semicolon usage between independent clauses.

Can it check academic citation punctuation?

It understands common citation formats and checks punctuation around parenthetical citations, block quotes, and reference lists. For generating citations, try our <a href="/citation-generator">Citation Generator</a>.

Does it work with British and American punctuation?

Yes. The AI recognizes both conventions — periods inside quotes (American) vs. outside (British), Oxford comma usage, and date formatting punctuation. It follows whichever style your text uses.

Is my text stored or shared?

No. Text is processed in real-time and discarded immediately. We do not store, log, or share your content.

What is the character limit?

Up to 20,000 characters per check. Free users get 3 checks per day. Paid plans offer higher daily capacity with higher character limits.

Can I use it on mobile?

Yes. Fully responsive — works on phones and tablets. Tap any correction to see the punctuation rule explained.

Is there a Chrome extension?

Yes. Our free extension includes Grammar Checker, AI Humanizer, AI Detector, Translator, and Word Counter — right-click any text on any website.

How does this compare to Grammarly?

Both catch punctuation errors. Coda One is a better fit if you want to start in your browser and use punctuation checks alongside 100+ other tools. Grammarly is a better fit if you want an account-linked writing assistant that follows you across apps.

Can it fix run-on sentences?

Yes. Run-on sentences are often punctuation problems — two sentences joined without proper punctuation. The AI suggests adding periods, semicolons, or coordinating conjunctions.

Is it really free?

Yes. You get 3 free checks per day, and you can start the first task in your browser before creating an account. Paid plans add higher daily capacity and higher character limits.

Can I pay with cryptocurrency?

Yes. We accept USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, and other cryptocurrencies. Plans start at $9.99/month.

Coda One's Punctuation Checker fixes commas, periods, apostrophes, semicolons, and other punctuation errors using AI.
