AI-assisted drafts

What the humanizer fixes in AI-assisted drafts

AI drafts often repeat the same generic words in a flat, monotonous sentence rhythm. The humanizer rewrites them into natural, human writing style.

Generic Phrasing

AI drafts repeat the same mechanical openings and linking words. The humanizer varies them, while preserving your intended meaning.

Monotonous rhythm

When every sentence has the same length, a paper sounds stiff. The humanizer varies sentence lengths for a more active, bursty rhythm.

AI-flavored wording

Commonly preferred AI words make research writing sound robotic. The humanizer replaces them with concise wording actually used by humans.

Repetitive sentences are rewritten into clear prose with a natural, varied rhythm.

Your meaning preserved

Your findings, figures and argument are preserved. The humanizer changes the wording only, while retaining the intended meaning.

Citations and key terms

In-text citations and key terms are preserved. With Academic Plus you can freeze your technical and discipline-specific terms in the output.

The humanizer maintains a formal, academic tone throughout, making it ideal for researchers and universities.

FAQs

Questions before you start

What does the AI humanizer change in my text?

It changes the wording and the sentence rhythm. Repetitive phrasing and stiff sentences are rewritten into natural academic prose, and your meaning, key terms and citations are preserved. You see every edit in the Diff view.

What is ULTRA?

ULTRA is the sixth and highest intensity setting and our deepest rewrite, for drafts that need the most work. Readability and grammar are slightly lower than at the other settings, so revise the output before you submit it. ULTRA comes with the Academic Plus plan.

Does it work for writers using English as a second language?

Yes. Formal English written in a second language is often stiff and repetitive, and readers can take that style for machine writing. The humanizer gives the text a natural rhythm in your own voice. With Academic Plus it also works in 60+ languages.

Can I humanize a whole thesis chapter or paper?

Yes, with Academic Plus. The Doc Humanizer takes a .docx file of up to 15,000 words and processes it in one round. Headings, lists, tables, equations, footnotes and the reference list are preserved.

What does a free account include?

A free account includes 250 words a month in the AI proofreader and a worked example in the humanizer. To humanize your own text you need a plan, from US$19 a month.
