About Hemingway Editor

Hemingway Editor is a writing tool that color-codes hard-to-read sentences, adverbs, passive voice, and wordy phrases, then assigns a US grade-level readability score. The free web app does the highlighting; the paid Plus version adds AI rewriting and grammar fixes.

Capabilities

Key Features

Color-coded readability highlights.

The editor marks hard-to-read sentences in yellow, very hard sentences in red, adverbs in blue, passive voice in green, and wordy phrases with simpler alternatives in purple.

Grade-level score.

It gives your text a US school grade level based on the Flesch-Kincaid formula, so you can aim for a target like Grade 9 that most online readers handle comfortably.

AI rewriting in the Plus plan.

The paid version uses AI to rewrite wordy sentences, adjust tone, and fix grammar, with a monthly allotment of AI sentence credits that each rewrite uses up.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The web version at hemingwayapp.com is free and covers the core highlighting, color-coded feedback, and grade-level readability score, which is enough to tighten an essay before you hand it in. The free tool only points out unclear writing; it does not write or rewrite for you, so it is allowed in most classrooms as an editing aid. AI rewriting and grammar fixes require the paid Plus plan.

Hemingway Editor is built for English. Its readability scoring uses the Flesch-Kincaid formula and its rules for adverbs, passive voice, and complex phrases are designed around English grammar, so pasting text in another language will not produce reliable feedback.
