How to use the AI Tone Remover
Paste text into the left box. A moment later the right panel highlights phrases that tend to make writing sound machine-made, and it keeps updating while you type. Each colour is a category: orange for wordy phrasing, red for stock phrases, purple for hedging, blue for passive constructions.
1. Pick what you are writing
Choose Essay / report, Cover letter, Blog or Email. The same phrase weighs differently in each. Cover letter mode is strict about “passionate team player” filler; blog mode is relaxed about emoji; email mode looks for stock openers such as “I hope this email finds you well”.
2. Tap a highlight
A tip opens with the reason and a suggestion. Safe swaps get a Replace button. Phrases that depend on context get a direction instead of an automatic edit. If a phrase is right for your piece, press Skip.
3. Fix the safe items in one go
“Fix safe items” only applies changes that do not alter meaning: “in conclusion” removed, “utilize” to “use”, markdown asterisks stripped, curly quotes straightened. Everything else is left for you to decide.
4. Check the score and the change rate
The gauge shows a human score from 0 to 100, based on how densely the tells cluster for the length of your text. Green is above 80, red below 55. It is a writing aid and has nothing to do with any detector.
The Before / after tab shows deletions struck through in red and additions in green. Past 30% changed, you get a warning, because that is usually where your own voice starts to fade.
5. Save and export
Your text autosaves on this device. Copy it or download a .txt file. Set a target length, say 650 for a personal statement, and a bar tracks your count. Dark mode is one tap away.
Keyboard shortcuts
Ctrl+Enter checks again, Ctrl+Shift+Enter fixes safe items, Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y undo and redo, Ctrl+S saves a .txt file and Alt+D opens the before/after view. Use Cmd on a Mac.
FAQ
Does it help me pass AI detectors?
No. It is a writing aid that finds phrasing readers find tiresome. It does not promise any detector result, and you should follow your course rules on AI use.
Is my writing stored on a server?
No. All checks run in your browser and your text stays on this device until you clear it.
Can it alter my numbers or names?
Numbers, quotations, links and email addresses are locked, and Replace refuses any suggestion that would change a number.
It flags text I wrote myself.
People use “moreover” and “crucial” too, so most patterns only show when they repeat. If a highlighted phrase is right for your piece, skip it.
Where do the rules come from?
The English rules are adapted from the open-source projects blader/humanizer and patina, both MIT licensed, and rewritten for in-browser use.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. On small screens the editor and results stack, and tips open as a panel at the bottom.
