Don't use ChatGPT for academic writing.

Instead, use Paperpal — an AI-powered personal writing assistant.

Especially if your first language is not English:

Go to paperpal.com and sign up.

Now you can either start writing in Paperpal or paste a text you have already written.

Paperpal will evaluate your writing and give you detailed suggestions to improve it.

If English is not your first language, you can write in your own language and Paperpal will translate it for you.

Here I am using Paperpal to translate a passage written in Danish.

You can also install a Paperpal add-in in MS Word.

Click on "Insert" and then "Get Add-ins."

Search for the Paperpal add-in, and press "Add."

And you will have Paperpal inside MS Word.

Paperpal will give you helpful suggestion as you write.

You can write in your own language and get Paperpal to translate it into English.

Paperpal supports following languages:

Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian.

Please note Paperpal's first 500 suggestions are free after which you will have to buy a subscription.
