In this Wordtune review, I walk you through all the major features the platform offers and show you how each feature works via screenshots and interactive demos. 

Later in the article, I discuss how NOT to use Wordtune, its pricing, pros and cons. Let’s begin with a basic walkthrough.

A Walkthrough Wordtune: Why You Must Try It?

Wordtune is a rewriting and paraphrasing tool that lets you rewrite sentences, change their tone, and make them short or long, depending on what you select it to do.

Like Grammarly, Wordtune has its own content quality optimizer that helps you improve tone, correctness, and overall quality of content.

Let’s look at all the features it offers.

There are Two Major Features Wordtune Offers

There are two major features Wordtune is divided into:

1. Write and paraphrase: For rewriting content
2. Read and summarize: To manage and summarize documents

Let’s deep-dive into both these features and look at how they work in real time.

Writing and Paraphrase

The writing and paraphrase feature of Wordtune has 4 sub-features:

1. Rewriting
2. Changing sentence tone
3. Shorten and Expand sentences
4. Tell Wordtune What to Do

1. Rewriting

To test this feature, I copied and pasted a content piece that I had written a while ago into Wordtune.  

To use the rewrite feature, select the sentence or paragraph you want Wordtune to rewrite. Click the Rewrite icon from the options that appear after you select the text.

Wordtune’s AI rewrites sentences in different styles and gives you the option to choose between them.

The rewrite feature is great for brainstorming content ideas that make your writing concise and simple for the readers to understand.

For example, here’s a sentence I wrote in the article: But the majority of businesses out there have no idea about how to get started or are confused between the two.

It sounds a little off and might confuse the readers.

When I rewrote it with Wordtune, here’s one of the sentences it suggested I replace the existing one with: In reality, most businesses are either unsure of how to get started or confuse the two.

This sentence gave me an idea of how to frame the existing sentence better, i.e., by using the either or method.

Here’s the final version: The truth is that most businesses are either unsure of how to get started or are confused about SMS and WhatsApp marketing.

2. Changing Sentence Tone

Wordtune lets you change sentence tones with AI. You can either make the sentence sound more casual or formal.

Here’s the casual version of a sentence:

And here’s the formal tone for the same sentence:

👀 Note: Wordtune gives you multiple sentence options and lets you choose the one you think fits your content best.

3. Shorten or Expand Content

As the name suggests, Wordtune’s shorten feature lets you make sentences more concise, and the expand feature lets you elaborate by using Wordtune sentences as a reference.

Here’s the shorten sentence feature in action:

And here’s what Wordtune gave me when I asked it to expand a sentence:

4. Tell Wordtune What to Do

The Tell Wortune What to Do feature lets you generate content to elaborate on a certain point.

To activate the feature, select the sentence you want to give Wordtune as a reference and click the small Wordtune logo that appears on the right end of the screen.

Wordtune will now give you several suggestions that contain tasks like – continue writing, explain, expand on, give an example, etc,

I will be using the simplest of all – continue writing and see what it comes up with.

Not bad.

I then asked Wordtune to give me an example of the above content. Here’s what I ended up with:

The example is fine, but it’s not what I wanted. I expected an example of a company actually using WhatsApp feedback to improve their product.

Something like – For example, Fluff No More asked their customers via. WhatsApp about the content optimization process their tool offers. They got feedback that requested them to add the average word count for each report so it’s easy for customers to get an estimate of the associated costs. 

These were the three major features of Wordtune’s Writing and Paraphrasing tools. It’s time to conclude this section and judge the effectiveness of all features.

✅ Rewriting: This is a good feature to break monotonous writing, provided you read and edit the AI content comprehensively.

❌ Changing sentence tone: I found this feature of no use. It just adds a few unwanted words or replaces terms with shorter versions that are personal preferences and might change depending on person to person.

❌ Shorten or expand the content: This feature is quite similar to sentence tone changing and isn’t the best way to shorten or expand the content. I’d rather read my content over and try to make it more concise myself than rely on a bot.

✅ Tell Wordtune what to do: A great tool to brainstorm ideas and break the content block. I’d suggest you use the tool to elaborate on a point, read everything Wordtune generates, and then write it in your own style and tone instead of copy-pasting the AI content the tool gives. 

Time to test the second part of Wordtune. 👇

Read and Summarize

With the read and summarize feature, you can upload documents, videos, or even paste URLs on Wordtune and ask questions about the content.

The tool also lets you store content in its library if you want to create a database.

Let’s see the feature in action:

Step 1. Click the top left-most dotted square box you see and go to ‘Read and Summarize.’

Step 2. Upload a PDF, import a link, or simply paste your text in the box you see below. For this example, I am giving Wordtune a PDF that I need a summary of. Here’s what I got:

Let’s get deep into it and try to understand the tool’s capabilities.

On the left, I have a pagewise summary for the document I uploaded. When I hover and click on any summarized point, Wordtune gives me four options.

• View source
• Re-summarize
• Copy
• Add to notes

You can add important points to notes and view them later by clicking on the Notes tab from the top menu.

The Semantic search feature asks you to enter a term you want to know about. Once you do that, Wordtune gives all the content related to the term you entered in the document.

Lastly, the tool also enables sharing documents via a link with your team.

Wordtune Chrome Extension

The Wordtune Chrome extension eases your writing process by integrating with Google Docs and offering all its features on the Doc itself. 

This helps because you don’t have to copy-paste the content in Wordtune to rephrase or edit it and then again paste the text in Google Docs; you can do it directly on Google Docs.

How NOT to Use Wordtune 

Your primary motive for subscribing to Wordtune should be to brainstorm content ideas or summarize content and not generate content.

With AI comes the temptation to generate lots of content and scale the content creation process to get traction fast. And yes, you will get quick initial traction, but it surely won’t be sustainable.

This is what happens when you generate 1000s of pages and publish online blindly:

Even when you create the first draft using Wordtune and edit it thoroughly, I don’t think it can beat human-written content.

And with the recent Google update, I don’t think it’s a good idea to generate AI content.

Wordtune Pricing

Wordtune offers a free plan that comes with certain daily limits. If you want to use the tool frequently, upgrade to its paid plans:

• Plus: $24.99 per month
• Unlimited: $37.50 per month
• Business: Contact the sales team 

Things I Liked About Wordtune

• Great read and summarize feature that lets you extract, edit, and save summaries to refer to them later.
• The UI is sleek and easy to use.
• Comes with a Google Chrome extension that embeds perfectly with Google Docs.

Things I Disliked About Wordtune

• Customer service is slow and lacks solutions to technical problems.
• Pretty basic tool and features compared to what it charges.

Is Wordtune Worth Trying?

There are other great tools, like Copy AI, Writer.com, Writesonic, etc., that offer a lot more for the price of 20-30 USD a month.

One thing Wordtune is great at is summarizing content, so if that’s your primary motive, go ahead with a paid Wordtune plan. 

But I don’t think you should use a tool for other content operations like making your writing concise, rewriting sentences, or changing the tone of your writing. All these processes are meant to be done manually so the quality of your content doesn’t go from good to worse due to AI.
