For a text to be well-written, more than correct spelling, perfect grammar, and in place punctuation is needed. More than a rich vocabulary is required. Well-written texts include all the above but additional extras in Style & Clarity. Ghotit Style corrections include:
Passive to active voice conversions – In many cases, active voice sentences are shorter, more straightforward, and clearer than passive voice ones. Therefore, whenever possible, choose the active voice mode. Ghotit converts passive text and makes sure that your text is written in an active voice.
Repeated words– Impressive texts use a rich vocabulary base; therefore, it is recommended to use synonyms and avoid repeating the same word. Ghotit identifies repeated words and offers alternatives.
Academic writing – Ghotit helps rephrase informal or slang texts into a formal style.
Tautology & Conciseness – Lengthy texts and clichés lack clarify and focus. Ghotit helps to rephrase the text and improve its conciseness.
Sentence structure suggestions– Ghotit suggests ways to improve the structure of your sentences.
Vocabulary suggestions– Ghotit suggests more precise or more concise words to use in your writing.
Banned words – Ghotit identifies words that are not allowed to be used.
