What it does
Wordtune is an AI reading and writing assistant. You write or paste a sentence and it offers a list of alternative phrasings, so you can pick the one that sounds right. It can switch a passage between casual and formal tone, lengthen or shorten it, and flag spelling and grammar mistakes with suggested fixes. On the writing side it can pick up where you stopped, explain a point, strengthen it, or add a conclusion. On the reading side it summarises documents, articles, web pages and YouTube videos. A Smart Translate feature turns text from languages such as Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, Hindi, Korean, Hebrew, Russian, German, French or Portuguese into English, and a synonym generator suggests other word choices. The site says Wordtune writes only in English. It is offered as a Chrome extension, a Microsoft Edge extension and an iOS app, so it can sit inside the apps where you already write. The site also describes a business offering.
