InstaText introduces major quality upgrade and multilingual editing

More precise suggestions, less over-editing, and high-quality editing now available in English and 40+ other languages.

InstaText introduces major quality upgrade and multilingual editing

InstaText has introduced a major upgrade to its editing engine, further improving the quality, accuracy, and reliability of its suggestions.  

At the same time, editing support has expanded beyond English to major languages, namely Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Italian, alongside selected country-specific languages including Slovenian, Swedish, and Malay. More than 40 languages are supported at a high-quality level.

As for the quality of the edits, the system now places even more emphasis on relevance and precision, resulting in:

  • Fewer but more meaningful suggestions
  • Cleaner edits with less “over-editing”
  • Edits that feel lighter and more aligned with your style

Together, this helps users review changes faster and bring their text to a publication-ready state more efficiently.

This upgrade is based on several months of rigorous automated quality-assurance testing, comparing different versions of InstaText’s language improvement engines across different types of academic and non-academic writing.

During this testing, each suggestion is evaluated and labeled by quality:

  • Highly recommended – clear improvements that should usually be accepted
  • Minor/optional – neutral or stylistic changes
  • Non-recommended – changes that do not improve the text or may reduce quality

As a result of the upgrade, suggestion quality has increased substantially. The share of clear, high-value suggestions increased from ~34% to ~70%, while the proportion of non-recommended suggestions decreased from 8% to under 1%.

For users, this means editing that is more consistent, more accurate, and easier to rely on.

Designed for modern, multilingual writing

Alongside this quality upgrade, InstaText now supports editing not only in English, but also in multiple other major languages.

English remains InstaText’s flagship language, but multilingual editing brings the same high-precision experience to additional languages.

Whether you are refining a research abstract, preparing a business proposal, writing documentation, or drafting everyday messages, the goal remains the same: fluent, natural writing that preserves your original voice.

This matters as more people than ever write across languages and for international audiences. A researcher may collaborate in one language and publish in another. A professional might prepare internal documents in their native language and client-facing material in English. Students move between academic and general writing. Translators refine texts to preserve meaning and tone across languages.

Multilingual editing supports these real workflows.

Users can select their editing language from the dropdown menu in the web editor or browser extension and continue working in the same environment.

Beyond proofreading

Traditional proofreading fixes spelling and grammar. InstaText goes further by improving:

  • Sentence flow, making the text smoother and easier to follow
  • Clarity and readability, so the reader understands the message with less effort
  • Word choice, selecting more natural or precise language
  • Tone, adjusting formality or style without changing the intended meaning

Preserving your voice and intent 

InstaText uses advanced language technologies, not generative AI. It keeps the writer’s voice and intent intact while improving clarity, readability, word choice, and language accuracy.

This is especially important in contexts where originality and authorship matter, such as academic writing. It also helps translators improve the fluency and natural expression of translated text without changing intent, terminology, or nuance.

Personalisation and interactive feedback

InstaText does not overwrite your text automatically. It shows the improved version alongside your original writing, and you choose what to accept.

This keeps the editing process transparent and puts you in control. Over time, actively engaging with the interactive feedback can help strengthen your writing and cognitive skills.

InstaText allows you to change the language settings and helps you with features such as:

  • Accept/reject control for suggestions (individually, in blocks, or all at once)
  • Revise and Review modes (apply edits interactively or read a clean final version)
  • Tone control (formal, informal, or automatic)
  • Dialect switching (American or British English)
  • Text export and sharing (via downloadable files or shareable links)
  • Personal Dictionary (keeps added words and phrases unchanged)

Note: The Personal Dictionary is especially useful for technical terminology, product names, or phrases that must remain unchanged. Once added, InstaText respects those terms across the editor, browser extension, and Microsoft Word add-in.

Works where you write

The browser extension improves text directly inside more than 20 commonly used platforms where writing naturally happens, including email, documents, academic tools, and messaging apps. 

For example, users can polish emails in Gmail or Outlook Web, refine documents in Google Docs, improve academic writing in Overleaf without affecting LaTeX commands, and edit everyday communication in tools such as WhatsApp, Slack, LinkedIn, Facebook, and X, all without copy-paste or app switching.

In Microsoft Word, InstaText is available as an add-in for both desktop and online versions, making it easy to edit interactively or review changes using Track Changes.

What our users say

“I absolutely recommend InstaText to all academic writers who have to publish their work in English and would like to have their work accepted and not rejected just because the language is not up to the standards demanded by the journal.”

— Dr. Karmen Pižorn, Professor of English Education

“This tool is outstanding, exceeded my expectations. I’m used to using Grammarly but InstaText is a more thorough tool and comes up with much better suggestions for rewrites. A game changer for editing.”

— Stephan Skovlund, Business Consultant

“InstaText has completely changed the way I write and communicate in academic papers, social media, and other areas. I definitely recommend this tool for non-native speakers who usually struggle with their English skills. I wish I had learned about InstaText sooner.”
