No. The text is parsed and analyzed in your browser. Nothing leaves the page. For a draft you would not paste into a server — a private email, a confidential memo — this is the safe option.

No. Some adverbs are necessary ("only", "almost", "just") and some are stylistic choices. The tool flags every adverb so you can see them — then you decide which to keep and which to cut. Hemingway's rule of thumb: if you can cut the adverb and the sentence still reads correctly, cut it.

What is writing style analyzer?

Paste any draft and see the same issues a professional editor would flag: adverbs, passive voice, complex words, and sentences that are too long. Each issue is highlighted in the text with a colored underline; a sidebar shows the totals.

Use it on blog posts, marketing copy, essays, or emails before you hit send. The tool does not change your text — it shows you what to change, and you decide.

How to use it

Paste your draft

Plain text. The score updates as you type.
Read the highlights

Adverbs in blue, passive voice in amber, complex words in purple, hard sentences in red.
Rewrite and re-check

Cut the adverbs, switch to active voice, shorten the long sentences.

Examples

A draft blog post

Paste a draft, see the adverbs, see the long sentences, see the passive voice. Rewrite the worst offenders and re-check.

The implementation was quickly completed by the team, but unfortunately the documentation was not really updated.

Result: Adverbs: "quickly", "unfortunately", "really" · Passive: "was completed", "was updated" · Complex: "implementation", "documentation"

A marketing email

Marketing copy should be punchy. The analyzer flags long sentences and weak verbs so the draft reads tighter before send.

In order to maximize the impact of your campaign, it is recommended that you carefully consider the timing, the audience, and the messaging.

Result: Sentence flagged as hard (28 words, 1.8 syllables/word). "Recommended" + "is" passive. Rewrite: "To maximize impact, pick your timing, audience, and messaging carefully."
