Others read it.
Memo learns it.

- Same generic feedback every time
- Forgets your last session
- You guess what to practise next
- Tells you the score, not the pattern
- Remembers every mistake across all essays
- Guides and reminds as you write
- Gives feedback with sentence rewrites
- Builds exercises from your error patterns
- Fixes overused words with synonyms
