Rewrite and tone ​

Mac Windows Chrome and Edge

Rewrite gives you a few other ways to say what you selected. The tone follows your writing profile.

Rewrite a selection ​

  1. Select a sentence or more. A small bar appears: over your text on a Mac or Windows, in the text box’s corner in Chrome or Edge.
  2. Choose Rewrite. A few ways to say it appear.
  3. Choose Replace selection on the one you like. Esc closes it and changes nothing.

In Chrome or Edge, you can also right-click and choose DuoTyping › Rewrite selection. With DuoTyping Engine, a rewrite uses one of the day’s checks.

No bar in an app? Select the text and check it with the shortcut, with Whole selection in your profile.

Set your tone ​

Tone comes from your writing profile: its writing context, such as Business & finance, and your custom instructions, such as “Short and friendly.” They change the tone, never grammar or spelling.

Try another tone on the same text ​

After a check, choose the profile’s name at the top of the card, then another profile. DuoTyping checks the same text again with it. Your default profile stays the same.
