How to Make AI Content Sound More Natural

In today's professional landscape, where tone is conveyed through digital streams and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can now write anything for us, it's easy to see that AI-generated content can't possibly resemble how we actually interact with each other.

Wordtune, an AI-powered writing companion, has emerged and has many intrigued, first for its simple yet modern typography and graphics, and second for its claim to be able to 'enhance writing everywhere.'

Wordtune was launched in 2017 and comes from AI21Labs, an Israel-based startup that focuses on natural language processing and large-scale language models. Its goal is to help with the writing process beyond general grammar checks. Think rewriting sentences, changing tone, and fine-tuning text to speak to a specific audience.

Other similar tools for written text include Grammarly, Canary Mail, and Gemini, all of which help edit your writing to make it sound more conversational, without necessarily requiring a subscription fee. With the free version of Wordtune, you only get access to 10 rewrites per day. Paid plans offer unlimited rewrites for $7 to $10 per month.

Since Wordtune can be accessed through the website or through an extension, the tool can be used on a variety of writing platforms and websites.

How to use Wordtune

Humanizing or personalizing your content, whether AI-written or not, with Wordtune would look like this:

Step 1 : Go to Wordtune and create an account using your email address or Google account. Once done, log in with your credentials.

Step 2 : Choose the version of Wordtune you want to use: Wordtune Online Editor, available on the website. Or Wordtune Extension, which can be downloaded via the Google Chrome Web Store or via the website. If you install using this method, pin the extension to your toolbar for easy access.

With the extension, you can access Wordtune through any website or app by clicking on the extension's purple icon. You can also add Wordtune to Google Docs through the Google Workspace marketplace or to Microsoft Word through the Add-ins store. This gives you direct access to all of Wordtune's features in those apps.

Step 3 : If you're using the Wordtune Editor, type or paste text into the box. If you're using the Wordtune extension or add-on, highlight the sentence or phrase you want to edit. Here, you can access a variety of rewrite modes, including:

1. Rewrite : Provides multiple ways to express syntax.
2. Casual/Formal : You can change the tone of your text to suit the context of your audience.
3. Expand : This makes the text longer, whether to add detail or emphasize certain parts of your content.
4. Shorten : Edit written copy to make it more concise while maintaining its overall theme or meaning.
5. Spices : This feature suggests ways to add additional details to your text such as examples, statistics, and images.

Step 4 : You can then review the suggestions, make decisions, and edit further if necessary. Wordtune provides a pop-up window on the sidebar with several options for your version, depending on the rewrite mode you have selected. Once selected, Wordtune will replace your written text with the edited text. Then, feel free to make additional edits if necessary or use another feature to make the text feel as close to human interaction as possible.

Be sure to proofread your copy, assessing the tone and impression it will leave on your target audience. Combining features is a great way to use multiple tools to make your content sound as natural as possible, even if you originally wrote it yourself.

This can also be a great tool to learn how you like to communicate while allowing AI to help maintain your tone.

Who should use Wordtune for AI content humanization?

While Wordtune offers a wide range of writing features, none of them stand out from its competitors, even if it focuses on creative writing and editing.

However, simplicity is key. With integrations with Google Docs, Google Mail, and Facebook, Wordtune can be a great option for those who want fewer tools to access.

Since Wordtune has the ability to access many features from a small icon when hovering over text, it can be useful for those who want to quickly edit AI content or personify written text from the perspective of a non-human being.

Those who haven't tried content editing tools before may find Wordtune to be a worthwhile AI-powered editor. With 10 rewrites per day, you don't have much to lose by trying Wordtune for a week, either on its own or compared to competitors that offer similar tools for the same price. If Wordtune helps you inject a witty comment or a sense of humor into your content, keep using it! If it doesn't, find a better fit.
