Register here: Writefull - automatic proofreading of scientific writing

You can register even if you are not available at the time, the seminar will be recorded and you will receive a link to the recording afterwards.

What will the webinar cover?

The Writefull is specially designed for proofreading professional texts in English. It differs from other similar tools mainly because it uses language models based on artificial intelligence (AI), and continuously „learns“ from the texts of millions of published scientific articles. Writefull corrects grammar, use of technical terminology, punctuation, spelling and stylistics.

During the webinar, we will introduce you to the basic philosophy of the system and show you how to use each tool.
