Description
Hemingway Editor is a writing tool designed to make writing concise and correct. As you paste in text, the app highlights lengthy, complex sentences and common errors: yellow marks sentences you should shorten or split, while red flags sentences so dense that readers may get lost. Simpler word choices are suggested for purple highlights, and adverbs, passive voice, and other weakening phrases are marked in blue.
Beyond the free highlighting, the Hemingway Editor Plus service uses AI to fix highlighted issues for you and adds an advanced grammar checker that marks issues in green, aiming to catch even tricky errors. You can also change the tone or style of your writing by selecting text and using the AI tools option.
To get started, users paste in something they are working on and edit directly, or switch to a Write mode that hides highlights so they can compose new text without distraction.
