When to use it
- Tighten long paragraphs for readability
- Raise formality for academic writing
- Expand sparse notes into fuller explanations
- Standardize tone across a section or paper
How it works (quick start)
- Select text in the editor.
- Click Rewrite (or right-sidebar AI Rewriter).
- Choose a Speech type: Concise, Scholarly, or Elaborate.
- Set **creativity level **- control how closely the rewritten text is to the original
- Review the draft in the side panel → Replace, Insert below, or Copy.
- Use Undo if you change your mind.
Speech types
Concise
- Goal: shorter, clearer, direct.
- Use for: abstracts, summaries, slide notes.
- Example
Original: “This paper provides an overview of several approaches that researchers have taken…”
Concise: “This paper surveys the main approaches used by researchers…”
Scholarly
- Goal: formal, precise, citation-friendly.
- Use for: manuscripts, theses, literature reviews.
- Example
Original: “We looked at a bunch of models and found some worked better.”
Scholarly: “We evaluate multiple model classes and observe superior performance in transformer-based variants.”
Elaborate
- Goal: more context, smoother transitions, fuller explanation.
- Use for: introductions, related work, teaching notes.
- Example
Original: “Results improved with data augmentation.”
Elaborate: “Incorporating data augmentation improved results by increasing variability in the training distribution, which reduced overfitting and yielded more robust generalization.”
- Small chunks win: Rewrite 1–2 paragraphs at a time
- Think about your audience: “for reviewers,” “for clinicians,” “for first-year students.”
- Pin constraints you like: reuse them across sections for a consistent voice
- Re-read numbers: Manually verify statistics, units, and symbol names
