The InstaText editing advantage
InstaText is naturally suited for what comes after you obtain your first draft: the editing phase. That’s where you write something more clearly, perhaps add more details, refine your arguments… It improves the clarity and readability of the text and ensures that your writing is easy to understand.
InstaText helps you edit your work in an iterative and interactive way. It is the interaction that stimulates critical thinking and improves your writing skills. One of the reasons for this is that you obtain immediate feedback.
All stages of the writing process – pre-writing, drafting, editing, and proofreading – are integral to producing a high-quality professional text.
However, if we were to highlight one phase as particularly critical to successful writing, it would likely be the editing stage.
“Of course, there’s Grammarly, a writing assistant that checks the spelling, grammar, punctuation, and clarity of your writing, corrects common errors, and occasionally gives you suggestions for rewording. The thing about Grammarly, though, is that it’s a good proofreader, but not an editor. And, as any skilled writer will be happy to tell you, the editing is the secret.”
— Jim Stonos, Writer and Editor

“I find InstaText very helpful. It makes me much faster in writing papers. I’m a perfectionist and usually spend (way too) much time finding the right words and making sure that sentences are easily readable even if the concepts are arbitrarily complicated. InstaText makes my life easier. I recommend it to any PhD student or researcher, whether a native English speaker or not.”
