A little more clarity
What to know before you make your next sentence shorter.
A sentence shortener removes filler, repetition, and wordy phrases so you can express the same idea in fewer words. Unlike a summarizer, it works closely with your original sentence rather than reducing a passage to its main points.
Keep the subject, action, facts, names, numbers, negations, and conditions that define your message. Add important phrases to Must-keep terms, start with Balanced mode, and compare the result with your original. Always review the final wording.
