Description:

Make shorter

Make longer

Type out a single, summarized sentence that overviews your step's information and have this smart tool create a full write-up.

Change tone

Ever feel like the tone of your natural writing voice doesn't always match a training topic? These style options can help!


Academic, business, casual, child friendly, confident, conversational, creative, emotional, excited, formal, friendly, funny, humorous, informative, inspirational, memeify, narrative, objective, persuasive, or poetic.

Simplify For all the natural wordsmiths on the team, the "simplify" tool can help unify long information to make it easily consumable.

Emojify

Staring at a wall large of text can be intimidating and frankly, boring. Try quickly adding some pizazz with "emojify."

Translate

Promote inclusivity and ensure that all employees, regardless of their native language, have equal access to important information and resources.
