"An excellent tool for polishing academic writing"

5/5

What do you like best about Paperpal?

As a PhD student, I really like how Paperpal understands academic writing. It's great for fixing grammar and gives suggestions that really fit with scientific language. It works well with Microsoft Word and can translate tricky academic terms. Quite often the results did surprise me as they used jargon that I wasn't aware of.

The last version I tested introduced some new features: Like the CoPilot that served as a conversational AI integration in Word and would answer general questions on writing academic text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paperpal?

Paperpal focuses a lot on academic writing. This is good for formal papers but might not work for more creative writing. Sometimes, the AI doesn't fully get complex ideas, so you need to double-check its suggestions to make sure they fit your meaning. Lastly, the initial loading of the suggestions can take some time, as Paperpal scans the entire paper rather than go paragraph by paragraph (This might be a good thing however!)

What problems is Paperpal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Paperpal is super helpful for fixing common writing problems. Since English isn't my first language, I ended up using it frequently and incorporating a lot of corrections.

The "Rewrite" and "Trim" features helped make my writing clearer and more concise. It saved me a lot of time and guesswork.

For me, as a scientist, Paperpal ended up being a big help and a tool that I keep relying on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
