Hemingway Editor

Hemingway Editor highlights what makes text hard to read: very long sentences, passive voice, adverbs and phrases that have simpler alternatives. You paste or write text in the editor and the colors show where readers are likely to slow down. It also reports a reading grade for the whole piece.

The free web editor covers the core highlighting. Paid versions add a desktop app and AI suggestions that rewrite the flagged sentences.

It suits bloggers whose readers skim on phones, since short sentences and plain words make a long post easier to follow on a small screen. Treat the highlights as prompts, not rules. A few long sentences give a post rhythm, and some technical topics need technical words. Fix the ones that genuinely confuse, and leave the rest alone.
