Academic language feedback
Writefull’s language models are trained on millions of journal articles so edits are tailored to academic writing rather than general prose.
Writefull
ReclamarWritefull is an academic writing and proofreading tool for students, researchers, publishers and institutions. Works in Word and Overleaf, with Revise and Track Changes.
Overview
Writefull is an automated writing and proofreading product for academics. It focuses on helping students, researchers, publishers, and institutions improve academic language, paraphrase text, and copyedit writing in the places where they work.
The product is organized into workflow-specific tools: Writefull for Word, Writefull for Overleaf, and Writefull Revise. Word users can revise text, ask academic questions, summarize, and generate titles or abstracts. Overleaf users get language feedback in LaTeX source code and AI tools for LaTeX writing. Revise is aimed at document-level proofreading with Track Changes.
