Hemingway Editor is a web-based writing and editing tool that analyzes text in real time to help writers produce clearer, more readable prose. The editor highlights hard-to-read sentences, passive voice, excessive adverbs, and wordy phrases using a color-coded system. Writers receive an overall readability grade level score and can identify specific problem areas without interrupting their writing flow.
Hemingway Editor Plus extends the core editor with AI-powered capabilities accessible with a single click. Users can rewrite highlighted sentences for simplicity, correct advanced grammar issues including subject-verb agreement and context-sensitive word choice, and receive full document feedback from the AI reviewer. The platform supports eight distinct tone adjustments, enabling writers to make their content more confident, formal, casual, friendly, or persuasive on demand.
The tool is used across professional, academic, marketing, and creative writing contexts. A free 14-day trial with up to 200 sentence corrections is available with no credit card required. Paid plans are available for individuals and teams, with the team plan offering role-based admin controls, shared billing, and priority email support.
A separate classic desktop application, Hemingway Editor 3, is available as a one-time purchase for macOS and Windows. It supports offline use, file import and export, and direct publishing to WordPress and Medium, but does not include AI features.
