Clean Text: How to Correct Spelling and Punctuation While Preserving the Author's Voice

What Clean Text Does

The tool accepts text and returns it with corrected spelling and punctuation errors. It does not change style, restructure sentences, or supplement content. The task is to bring the writing into compliance with language norms without affecting the author's intonation.

The form consists of two fields: 'Your text or idea' and 'Tone, style or format'. Up to 8000 characters are pasted into the first, and up to 1000 characters describing the desired tone into the second. Then the output language is selected, 'Generate' is pressed, and the result appears in a separate panel. The finished text can be copied or downloaded as TXT.

Preparing the Draft

Before submitting, make sure the text is typed in one language and does not contain extraneous characters. Semantic errors and unfinished thoughts will not be corrected by the proofreader—they must be eliminated before checking. Long paragraphs are best broken up: this makes it easier to verify the result.

In the second field, describe the tone: for example, 'neutral business' or 'conversational, friendly'. This helps the model understand the context but does not enable any special modes. Do not ask to change the meaning in this field—the tool is intended only for spelling and punctuation.

Field 1: We has a small shop. Their are three new products.
Field 2: neutral business

First Run and What You Get

After pressing 'Generate', you will see the corrected version. In our example, the errors will be eliminated: 'We has' → 'We have', 'Their are' → 'There are'. The word order and style will remain the same. Disputed cases, such as authorial punctuation, may be preserved or corrected by the tool—this depends on the context.

Check whether the meaning has changed. Sometimes the model may misunderstand a rare proper name or term. If this happens, revert to the original version and try again, clarifying the context in the second field.

Result: We have a small shop. There are three new products.

How to Check the Result

Compare the original and corrected text for meaning: are all facts, names, and numbers still in place. Pay attention to punctuation in complex sentences—sometimes the proofreader may insert a comma where the author wanted a dash. If in doubt, keep the author's version.

Check for consistency: if the text mixes British and American spelling, the tool may not unify them. It is better to bring the text to a single standard beforehand. Remember that the model can make mistakes, and the queue and service availability may vary.

Service Limitations

Clean Text does not check facts, improve style, or restructure sentences. It does not work with DOCX and PDF, does not perform batch processing, does not save history, and has no mode for comparing edits. Input is limited: 8000 characters for text, 1000 for tone description. For speech—3000 characters, for images—4 MB, for audio—20 MB or 5 minutes.

The tool does not generate photorealistic images and does not create audio or video. Images are vector compositions in SVG and PNG. Speech is synthesized locally via eSpeak in WAV, subtitles in SRT. Do not expect OCR functions or integration with other services from the proofreader.

Repeat Runs

If after the first check there are still questionable places, copy the corrected text into the field again and send it for reprocessing. But do not overdo it: each iteration can imperceptibly change the author's voice. It is better to limit yourself to two or three runs.

Break large texts into fragments of 2000–3000 characters. This way you can control the result and find errors faster. After the final check, download the text as TXT and save it.

First run: We have a small shop. There are three new products.
Second run (after manual editing): We have a small shop, and there are three new products.

When the Tool Is Not Suitable

If you need to rewrite text, change style, or shorten the volume, this tool will not help. It is also not suitable for checking legal, medical, or financial documents that require expert evaluation. In such cases, it is better to consult a specialist.

For creative texts with intentional errors or experimental punctuation, the proofreader may be useless. Always assess how important the author's voice is for the task.
