Steve, I have a couple of clients using Maxit by SMART Software. We understand that the SMART Maxit Checker is fully integrated into FM 7.2 by the FDK. Consequently, the tool allows edit-in-place, runs very quickly and is easy to use.
SMART offers a free QuickLook on a few pages to show the results in their FM Viewing tool. SMART offers evaluation copies, but only if you ask for them. (You won't find a "free download" on the web page.) A good grammar checker for Simplified English or Controlled English requires a custom dictionary, hence the evals need some dictionary adjustment for each domain.
