Rewrite

To use the rewriting function, you need to specify the field name.

When you select a part of the sentence, the rewrite function provides wording suggestions.

If you want to rephrase a specific word or phrase, select the word/phrase instead of selecting the entire sentence.

When you select a candidate, the original sentence will be replaced by the selected sentence.

Tips

  • The selected part of the sentence will be extensively rephrased.
  • Details
  • If the input text is sufficiently fluent, no rewriting will be triggered, or only minor corrections will be presented.
  • Try to use the rewrite function repeatedly for the same sentence. If you modify the sentence based on the system's suggestion, use the rewrite function again, and the amount of modification from the system is reduced, it is a sign that the sentence has become more natural.
  • If you want to know the appropriate words/phrases to be inserted into a specific part of a sentence, add () into that part and use the rewrite function. The function will replace the () with natural candidates.

Completion

Specify field and section name before using the completion feature. Press TAB to predict the rest of the sentence, taking into account the sentences to the left of the cursor point. You can use the complete function in the middle of a sentence or at the boundary of a sentence.
