Visit website What is it?
Paste your text into Hemingway and it colours in the problems: sentences that are too long, passive voice, adverbs and words with simpler alternatives. It also gives a reading grade so you can aim for plain English.
The paid Plus version adds one-click fixes. Click a highlighted sentence and it suggests a shorter, clearer version you can accept or ignore. It's deliberately narrow, which makes it fast.
It won't catch spelling or grammar mistakes, so pair it with Grammarly or a careful read.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants their writing to be clearer and shorter, especially for web pages and emails.
