Best tool to proof-read technical documentation?


I have around 80+ pages of technical documentation in markdown (with mixed in HTML where needed). Best tool to proof-read them? Mainly looking for spelling/grammatical errors. ChatGPT used to work great for this, but I've noticed today that it misses simple spelling errors.

I've noticed that with GPT 4; 3.5 still works pretty well. Or did the last time I used it for something like this (which was a few weeks ago).

A good human proofreader? :-) Though I do second the suggestion about Vale.
