Hemingway Editor
Hemingway Editor marks the sentences that make a piece of writing hard to read and gives it a readability grade as the text is typed or pasted. Published by Hemingway, the editor highlights long and dense sentences, adverbs, passive constructions and phrases with simpler alternatives, each in its own color, and updates the grade with every change.
Limits of the Free Tier Plan: The editor on the web page is free with no account: the highlights, the readability grade and the counts stay available whatever the length of the text. Hemingway Editor Plus, which rewrites the highlighted sentences, checks grammar and adjusts tone, is the paid part and comes with a two-week trial.
How It Helps Your Business English
Text typed or pasted into the page is marked where it stands. Yellow marks a long sentence, red one dense enough to lose the reader, and other colors mark adverbs, passive verbs and phrases that have a simpler alternative. A panel at the side gives the reading grade with counts of words, sentences and each kind of highlight.
You can paste a message before sending it and rewrite only the sentences that are marked, which is faster than rereading the whole thing. The grade tells you whether the text suits the reader you have in mind, and it moves as you edit, so the effect of a change is immediate. The passive and adverb marks point at the two habits that most often make professional writing heavier than it needs to be.
