What InstaText is
InstaText improves writing users provide, focusing on clarity, readability, grammar, and style rather than generating new content. It displays proposed edits for users to accept or reject instead of applying them automatically. Its desktop app includes Auto, Formal, and Informal tone settings, and the Personal Dictionary can preserve chosen words or phrases or replace them with preferred wording. InstaText is available on the web and as a browser extension; a Word add-in works with Word online and the classic version, including Track Changes for suggested revisions. The extension supports more than 20 online platforms, including Google Docs, Gmail, WhatsApp, Slack, Overleaf, Outlook, Salesforce, and WordPress. The free plan permits five improvements per day, up to 1,500 characters at once, and is for personal, non-commercial use. InstaText One costs €24.99 a month, or €9.99 a month billed yearly at 119.88 EUR yearly. The desktop app is in early access for Windows 10 and 11, requires an internet connection, and macOS is listed as coming soon.
