What is Hemingway?
The Hemingway Editor highlights things that make writing hard to read. Long and very complex sentences turn yellow or red, adverbs turn blue, passive voice turns green, and simpler alternatives are shown in purple.
It also shows a readability grade, so you can aim for text that most people understand at a glance. Just paste your text into the free web editor to get feedback.
