Free Tool
Paragraph Checker
Paste your writing to catch overly long sentences, possible passive voice, and paragraphs missing transitions.
This is a heuristic structural check, not a grammar tool — use it to spot patterns worth a closer look.
How to Use This Checker
Paste your writing with a blank line between paragraphs. Each paragraph is analyzed separately for sentence length, passive voice, and transitions, with notes on anything worth a second look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tool check grammar or spelling?
No, this tool focuses on paragraph-level structure: sentence length, possible passive voice, and transitions between ideas. Use a dedicated grammar checker alongside it for spelling and grammar issues.
How does the passive voice detection work?
It looks for common passive-voice patterns, like a form of 'to be' followed by a past-participle verb (e.g. 'was written'). It's a heuristic, so it may occasionally flag a sentence that isn't truly passive.
Why does it flag missing transition words?
Transition words like 'however' or 'for example' help connect sentences and guide the reader through your argument. A paragraph with several sentences and no transitions can feel disjointed.
