proofer
Finds written mistakes
A proofer is a person who proofreads—checking text for errors before publication.
In baking, a proofer is a warm, humid chamber where bread dough rises: The loaves went into the proofer for an hour.
The baking sense comes from "proofing" yeast dough, letting it prove itself by rising.
