What is the Hemingway App?
The Hemingway app is a distraction-free writing and editing tool designed to help you polish your writing. It focuses on identifying common errors that bring down the quality of your prose: confusing sentence construction, overuse of weak adverbs, excessive passive voice, and the like. You can use a free version of the app right on the website.
There are two modes in the Hemingway app: writing and editing.
Writing Mode
The writing mode is designed to be unobtrusive, with a minimalist interface. Formatting buttons along the top allow you to make your text bold or italic, set your headings, add a blockquote or a list (either in bullet point or numbered), as well as create links. There are no page breaks, or detailed formatting options to create print layouts — this app is truly about writing, and writing only.
Editing Mode
Switch to editing mode, and you’ll see most of the Hemingway features come into play. In addition to a summary of your work’s readability level, estimated reading time, and length, Hemingway analyzes your work and highlights a variety of potential problem areas.
Blue highlights mean it’s identified as an adverb or a qualifier.
Purple highlights show it’s found a complex word that can be replaced with a simpler one.
Green highlights are for passive voice.
Yellow highlights denote complex sentences.
Red highlights indicate an extremely complex sentence.
Mousing over these highlights will remind you of which type of problem has been identified, though only a few types of errors offer suggestions for fixes. You can remove adverbs, for instance, with the click of a button, but you’ll have to change to an active voice on your own.
You can download the desktop app from http://www.hemingwayapp.com/ for free.
I reviewed one of my blogs for this task. Readability for that came 11 which is ok. I made changes according to suggestion & reviewed it again. After changes readability came 7 which is Good.
