Tech tools to get more out of your content
There are so many tech tools out there to help you get the most out of your content, it makes sense to be working smarter and not harder. We’re particularly excited about tools that are leveraging AI to help us write better, distribute wider, and track more effectively. Here are some of our favourites.
Hemingway
If it was drummed into you at Uni that you had to write for a primary school audience when pitching publications, Hemingway will be your new best friend. This free AI tool allows you to drop all of your copy into the editor, where it will analyse it’s reading grade, giving you a score. Your writing will be assessed based on how hard the sentences are to read, whether there’s simpler terms you could be using and whether you’re using active or passive voice. It’s the gamification of simplification, and it’s addictive!
