Writing tools are easier to compare when they sit next to tools that do the same job. This page lists every category on WriteChanges and every tool inside it, so you can go straight to the kind of writing you need help with.
The categories follow the jobs people bring to these tools. Grammar and editing tools check what you have already written. Paraphrasing tools reword it. Drafting tools sit in three groups: general writing assistants, marketing copy tools for ads and product pages, and long-form tools for articles and reports. Fiction writers have their own category, because story tools work around characters, scenes and chapters rather than business documents. Academic writing covers language editing for papers and tools for finding and checking sources. Email tools work inside your inbox. Translation and transcription tools turn text from one language into another, or speech into text.
Some tools could sit in two places. A grammar checker might also reword sentences, and a general assistant can do almost everything. We file each tool once, under the job it is best known for, and link related categories from every category page.
Each category page opens with notes on what to check before choosing that kind of tool, the questions people ask most, and the tools themselves. Tool pages show what the tool does, who makes it, a link to its official site and the details we could confirm, such as a free plan or a Word add-in. Where we could not confirm something, the page says so.
Featured tools appear first on a category page and carry a Featured label. They are paid placements. Everything else appears in a plain order, with no scores or rankings, because we have no fair way to measure every tool against your own writing.
If a tool you use is missing, or sits in the wrong place, tell us through the Get listed page. Listing is free.

Questions about WriteChanges
Why is each tool in only one category?
Filing each tool once keeps category pages honest and short. We place a tool under the job it is best known for. Related categories are linked from every category page, so a tool that does two jobs is still easy to find.
How often is the directory updated?
We add tools as we confirm them and change listings when a maker claims one or reports a mistake. Every page shows the date it was last rebuilt.
Can I search for a specific tool?
Yes. The search page filters every tool by name or task as you type. You can also browse the categories below.
