Hemingway Editor-writing tool for clear content

Example

The tool identifies sentences that are difficult to read, either because they are too long or contain multiple clauses. These sentences are highlighted in yellow or red, depending on their complexity.

Scenario

A blogger revising their post might see a sentence like, 'The process of implementing new software, which is both time-consuming and costly, requires careful planning and execution.' Hemingway would highlight this, suggesting it be split for clarity, perhaps into, 'Implementing new software is time-consuming and costly. It requires careful planning and execution.'

Example

The editor highlights adverbs and phrases that could be more direct, encouraging stronger verbs and more precise language.

Scenario

A marketing copywriter drafts a product description: 'Our vacuum cleaner works really efficiently to clean your home quickly and thoroughly.' Hemingway would suggest removing 'really' and 'efficiently,' potentially revising it to, 'Our vacuum cleaner powerfully cleans your home, quickly and thoroughly.' This makes the copy more impactful.

Example

Hemingway provides a readability score based on the grade level required to understand the text. It encourages users to aim for a score around the 5th to 7th grade level for general readability.

Scenario

An academic writer reviewing their paper might see that their text scores at a 12th-grade level. This score indicates that the writing may be too complex for a broader audience, prompting the writer to simplify their language and sentence structure to make the content more accessible.
