Strip the tells that give AI-assisted drafts away before a reader or a detector sees them: em dashes swapped for natural punctuation, AI-overused vocabulary flagged and replaced, contractions and casing fixed for formal work. These quick tools run in your browser.

AI detection and writing analysis
Burstiness and perplexity are the two signals AI detectors score first. Measure them on your own draft, along with readability, passive voice and register, and see why a text reads as AI-generated before a detector tells you.

Highlight every passive sentence and score your passive percentage against human academic writing norms.
Formality Checker
