Why writing in both Polish and English is harder than you think, and how TypeSafe addresses the specific grammar challenges of both languages.
5 Ways TypeSafe Helps Developers Write Better
Code-aware grammar checking, markdown support, and technical writing features that make TypeSafe the perfect writing assistant for developers.
Beyond Grammar Checking
Grammar corrections are just the beginning. TypeSafe's AI rewriting features help you adapt your message for different contexts, audiences, and purposes—all with a single click.
Here's your complete guide to transforming your writing with TypeSafe's AI tools.
1. Shorten - Cut the Fluff
The Shorten feature removes unnecessary words while preserving your core message. Perfect for:
- Tweets and social media posts with character limits
- Email subject lines that need to be punchy
- Slide presentations where space is limited
- Making verbose technical writing more readable
Example:
Before: "I wanted to reach out and see if you might possibly be available for a quick meeting sometime this week to discuss the project."
After: "Are you available this week to discuss the project?"
2. Expand - Add Context and Detail
Turn brief notes into complete thoughts. Expand takes your shorthand and adds helpful context, examples, and clarity.
Example:
Before: "Implemented new auth system."
After: "Successfully implemented a new authentication system using JWT tokens, which improves security by enabling stateless session management and reduces server load by eliminating the need for session storage."
3. Formalize - Professional Tone
Transform casual writing into professional business communication. Essential for:
- Client-facing emails
- Formal reports and proposals
- Job applications and cover letters
- Official documentation
Example:
Before: "Hey, I think we should probably look into fixing that bug ASAP."
After: "I recommend prioritizing the resolution of this bug to ensure system stability and prevent potential user impact."
4. Simplify - Make It Accessible
Break down complex ideas into plain language. Perfect for explaining technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders or writing user-facing documentation.
Example:
Before: "The implementation leverages a microservices architecture with containerized deployments orchestrated through Kubernetes."
After: "We built the system using small, independent services that run in containers, managed by Kubernetes for easy scaling and updates."
5. Change Tone - Adjust the Mood
Modify your writing's emotional tone while keeping the core message intact. Options include:
- Confident: Assert your points with authority
- Friendly: Make your message warm and approachable
- Neutral: Remove emotional language for objective communication
- Urgent: Convey importance and time-sensitivity
Pro Tips for AI Rewriting
1. Start with Good Grammar
Fix grammar errors before rewriting. The AI produces better results when working with grammatically correct source text.
2. Select Precisely
Highlight exactly the text you want to transform. The AI respects your selection boundaries and won't modify surrounding content.
3. Iterate if Needed
If the first transformation isn't perfect, try again or combine features. For example, expand then formalize for professional detailed content.
4. Works in Both Languages
All rewriting features work equally well in English and Polish. TypeSafe automatically detects the language and applies appropriate transformations.
Privacy in AI Rewriting
AI rewriting requires Cloud Mode since the transformations use advanced language models. However, even in Cloud Mode, your text is never stored—it's processed and immediately discarded.
For maximum privacy with basic grammar corrections, use Local Mode.
