Humanize in the editor

Make AI drafts read like a person wrote them: check the Human tone card, humanize one paragraph or the whole article, and keep your facts and terms.

AI drafts often sound the same: even sentence lengths, stock phrases like "delve" or "in today's digital age", and stiff openers like "Furthermore". The editor can find these patterns and humanize your text without leaving the page. Your facts, headings, tables and recommended terms stay in place.

#Check the Human tone card

Open the Insights tab. Once your article has 80 words, the Human tone card shows:

• A score out of 100. Green is 80 or more, amber 60 to 79, red below 60.
• Sentence variety: how much your sentence lengths differ. People usually write about 60% or more.
• How many stock AI phrases you use. Each phrase shows as a chip with its count. Click a chip to find it in your article.
• Up to three tips, most important first, for example "Sentences are too even in length. Mix very short sentences with longer ones." or "Replace stock AI phrases ... with plain words."

The card also counts runs of three sentences of nearly the same length, sentences that open with "Furthermore" or "Moreover", em dashes, and lists where most bullets start with a bold label and a colon.

#Humanize one part

Best for a paragraph or section that reads stiff.

1. Select the text in the article.
2. In the menu that appears, click Sound human.
3. The new text replaces your selection. Press Ctrl + Z if you prefer the old version.

This keeps every fact, name, number, link, heading, list and table, and about the same length.

#Humanize the whole article

1. Click AI Writing, then Make the whole article sound human. You can also click the button of the same name on the Human tone card.
2. A box tells you how many parts the article will be humanized in. Confirm to start.
3. SerpPal saves your article and keeps a version called "Before making it sound human".
4. The AI humanizes the parts two at a time. The Human tone card and the AI tab show which part it is on, and the article is locked until it finishes.
5. When it is done, you see your human tone before and after, for example Human tone 62 -> 84.

You need at least 80 words. With less, you see "Write or generate the article first".

#How the article is split

The article is split into parts at H2 headings, so each part is a section or two. Tables are never sent to the AI and stay exactly as they are.

#Safety checks

Each part is checked before it is used. If the humanized part lost too much text (under 75% of the words), grew too much (over 160%), or lost or gained a heading, the original part is kept. The final message then says how many parts were kept as they were, for example "2 parts kept as it was".

#Stopping and undoing

• Click Stop while it runs to cancel. Nothing is changed ("Stopped. Nothing was changed.").
• Press Ctrl + Z right after to undo the whole change in one step.
• Later on, open Versions and restore "Before making it sound human". See Versions and autosave.

#How the AI writes

Humanized text follows the same style rules as every SerpPal draft:

• mostly medium sentences of uneven length, with no runs of short punchy ones;
• plain, everyday words and contractions;
• an aside in parentheses now and then;
• none of the overused linking words or stock AI phrases;
• no em dashes.

Your brand kit is followed too, including the words you want to prefer or avoid.

#Costs

Humanizing uses AI words from your plan, about as many as the text it returns. A full article uses roughly its own length in AI words. See Plans and limits.

#Tips

• Humanize after you optimize. Optimizing first and humanizing last keeps the terms and gives the most natural result.
• Check the score after humanizing. Terms that were used are kept, but read the Optimization tab once more.
• Add your own experience. Real examples, numbers from your work and honest opinions make text more human than any tool can.

#Humanizer for any text

For text that is not in an article, such as an email or an essay, use the standalone Humanizer. It has more options, such as a writing style (for example Strong for stubborn AI text, or Academic) and the output language. See Humanizer options.

#Common questions

Will humanizing lower my content score? Usually not by much. The AI keeps the recommended terms already used. If a few drop out, add them back from the Optimization tab.

Why did nothing change in some parts? Those parts failed the safety checks and were kept as they were. Run it again, or select those paragraphs and use Sound human.

Does it work in other languages? Yes. The AI writes in the language of the analysis. The stock phrase and stiff opener checks on the Human tone card are English only.
