Hemingway Editorとは?
Hemingway Editor analyzes a piece of writing and color-codes problems directly in the text: yellow for hard-to-read sentences, red for very-hard-to-read ones, purple for words with simpler alternatives, blue for adverbs, and green for passive voice. Unlike AI writing generators, it doesn't write anything for you — it's built purely to make your own writing clearer and more direct.
It's a longtime favorite among bloggers, journalists, and copywriters specifically because it doesn't try to rewrite your voice; it just flags where a sentence is doing too much at once or hiding behind passive constructions. The tool also gives an overall readability grade level, useful for making sure content matches its intended audience.
The web version at hemingwayapp.com is free to use for editing text directly in the browser. A one-time-purchase desktop app ($19.99) adds offline access, PDF/Word export, and direct publishing to Medium and WordPress.
