Writefull provides advanced proofreading of scientific texts in English and is intended for all researchers and students who write and publish scientific texts in English, even if they are not native speakers.
Writefull uses artificial intelligence (AI), specifically deep learning algorithms and a large language database. It performs text checking using language models based on millions of already published academic texts. Writefull not only suggests how to improve the text, but specifically shows how words and phrases are used, how often a word or phrase occurs, and helps to compare the occurrence of two words or find out which words or synonyms are usually found in a certain context.
Writefull offers a correction:
- Vocabulary– offers alternatives to misused words or phrases
- Grammar– check the use of prepositions, articles, verb forms, noun forms, etc.
- Style– scientific writing has its own style, Writefull will warn you if you don’t follow it or if your text is too wordy
- Punctuation– punctuation marks make text readable. Writefull corrects excessive/insufficient/incorrect use of punctuation
- Spelling– Writefull draws on the most extensive scientific dictionary and can correct even subject-specific terms
- Phrase and sentence-level proofreading, thanks to new AI models and Full Edit. It suggests changes in word order, using the right words, changes sentence structure and increases the clarity of the resulting text, etc. Full Edit is included in Writefull for Word and Writefull for Overleaf.
Writefull Revise
Writefull Revise is the web version of Writefull, which is used for language checking of finished articles and texts created in any application or text editor. It is thus an ideal tool for checking texts before sending them to e.g. publishers, conference organizers, etc.
Writefull Cite
Writefull Cite is another web application that can identify those parts of a technical text that should be referenced. Unlike so-called anti-plagiarism systems, Writefull Cite is not based on a database of already published articles, but uses linguistic algorithms and artificial intelligence.
Writefull add-in for Word
Writefull for Word, available as an add-in for Word 2019, Office 365, and Mac, enables revision via Proofread and Full Edit. It also offers Sentence Palette, a searchable collection of sentences and phrases commonly used in academic publications, and Language Search, an extensive database of academic texts that shows how certain words and phrases are commonly used in academic writing and in what different contexts. They can be used to structure and write any text.
