Context-aware suggestions

It's cumbersome to use a thesaurus on words that have several meanings. For example, the word short could mean you're "short on time" or it could refer to someone's height. Our tool understands how you're using each word so that you only get suggestions that fit your text.

Better suggestions at your fingertips

Now you can find synonyms in Hemingway Editor Plus without breaking your flow. To use it, highlight a word or phrase and then click AI Synonyms from the floating toolbar. Then, choose your favorite option from the drop-down menu to swap it in.
