Hello, readers! Have you ever wished you were a better writer? I think this all the time. Writing has become such an essential part of life that it is almost reflexive – just like talking. We respond to texts and emails all day long. Consider what you’ve written today, whether they’re emails, texts, notes, chats, proposals, etc. If it’s a part of your everyday life, here are a few tools that I’ve found helpful.
Power Thesaurus: Power Thesaurus is a quick, practical, and thorough online tool. Additionally, because it is community-driven, the word database is more extensive and up to date. Slang frequently causes our language to change, so having an interactive database is crucial. Additionally, you can download apps and a Chrome extension that will automatically convert text based on your writing style.
Hemingway App: If you ever doubt your writing and wish you had the assistance of an editor, then this is the instrument for you. You can receive feedback on readability, adverbs, formatting, style, and word choice. Visit the website, copy/paste your text, and then let the tool do its thing. The process saves you time (and someone else’s time if you ask for help).
Quill Bot: I saved the best for last. This tool does everything. Regardless of your writing ability, you can benefit from this tool in some way. Consider the following features: paraphrasing, grammar, plagiarism checks, co-writer assistance, summarizing, and citation generation. When you think about how valuable those tools are for writing effectively, it almost feels like cheating. Quillbot has Microsoft and Google extensions that integrate seamlessly into your daily workflow.
The fact that I wrote a blog about the tools I use to write this blog is not coincidental. To increase my chances of success, I’ve set goals for incorporating new methods and technologies into my workflow. I hope you share my sentiments and find the resources I’ve provided useful.
