Inspired by and named after the famous author and journalist Ernest Hemingway |
Hemingway highlights long, complex sentences and common errors; if you see a yellow highlight, shorten the sentence or split it. If you see a red highlight, your sentence is so dense and complicated that your readers will get lost trying to follow its meandering, splitting logic — try editing this sentence to remove the red.
Adverbs are helpfully shown in blue. Get rid of them and pick verbs with force instead.
You can utilize a shorter word in place of a purple one. Mouse over it for hints.
Phrases in green have been marked to show passive voice.
Paste in something you're working on and edit away. Or, click the Write button to compose something new.
This is an interesting new free application online. To use it you delete the existing text in the Hemingway application and paste your text into the larger frame and press the edit tool. Heminway grades your text, and hi-lights in different colours area's that need work. Click on write and amend the area hi-lighted and then press the edit button to see if it's more effective.
Hemingway are also working on an app you can download to your computer to use with word etc. This paragraph tested in Heminway and the results are a readability grade 7. When Hemingway is happy with your text it will turn it grey and it is ready for copying and pasting back into your blog etc. Your aim is to get a readability score of 10 or less. Enjoy.
