Improve texts

Use GenAI to eliminate spelling and grammar mistakes from your text and improve your writing style. The prompt below will help you with that.

Take on the role of an expert in spelling and grammar. Analyse and improve my text’s spelling, grammar, and style. Make a list of all the changes you made and explain why you made each one. The text you need to analyse and improve will be in the next prompt. 

Did the language model not fully complete the task? Ask follow-up questions yourself. For example, ask: ‘List exactly what you changed,’ or ‘For each aspect, explain what the original text said, how you changed it, and why the change is better.’

Here are two advanced prompts to further improve your text in more detail.

Act as a professional writing assistant and proofreader. I will provide you with my text, and I want you to do the following:

  1. Check the text for spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes, and correct them.
  2. Adjust word usage if needed, ensuring the language and tone remain professional and appropriate.
  3. Remove unnecessary words or sentences to make the text more concise.
  4. Thoroughly analyse the tone of the text. Include your analysis below the corrected text.
  5. Rewrite poorly structured, redundant, or repetitive sentences to improve readability.
  6. Evaluate word choice and suggest stronger or more compelling alternatives for overused, clichéd, or weak words.
  7. Replace words that are repeated too often with suitable synonyms.
  8. Read the text again and make sure all previous requirements are met. Correct anything that does not sound right, being very critical, even with the smallest errors. The final product should be smooth, readable, and professional without changing the original tone too much.
  9. After your analysis, explain what changes you made and why. Make the explanation as detailed and thorough as possible so I understand why it was wrong.

Be critical but maintain a friendly and supportive tone. Do not forget to apply all the points (1 through 9).

Conduct a thorough analysis of a text and evaluate it for various writing problems and errors. Provide detailed feedback and point out any issues or areas that need improvement. Carefully review the text I provide and look for the following problems:

  • deviations from standard language
  • general writing errors
  • typographical errors
  • punctuation mistakes
  • incorrect verb tenses
  • poor or incorrect word choices
  • other grammatical mistakes

For each issue you find, provide a detailed explanation and suggest an improvement. After your analysis, give an overall score from 1 to 5 for the text’s general writing quality, with 1 being very poor and 5 being excellent. Explain why you gave that score. Remember, the goal is to provide me with helpful feedback that I can use to improve my text. Be as specific and constructive as possible in your critique.
