Sam Akhtar (ID: 000000c7c8eef783) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/13/2023 I recently had the unfortunate opportunity to try out Insta Text Editors, and I must say, it was a downright awful experience. I cannot emphasize enough how disappointed I am with this app. From start to finish, everything about it was a complete letdown Bad experience

Michał Folwarczny (ID: 000000e32d0631c3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/17/2022 I have been using instaText for over a year. In that time, I have worked mostly in academia, on my doctoral thesis, a dozen papers, and, to a lesser extent, private correspondence. I have to admit that instaText is superior to its competitors (I tested several), which mainly check grammar, punctuation, and spelling (instaText makes you sound like a very educated native speaker). Interestingly, instaText corrects a lot of the text written by my collaborators who are native English speakers! All in all, this software allows me to enjoy work and focus on WHAT I want to say without worrying about HOW I should say something :)

Yegor Yakovishen (ID: 000000fd24eaee13) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/02/2022 Magical! Absolutely recommendable.

Jure Chuk (ID: 000000ae156425b1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/08/2022 This is hands down the best tool to spice up your text! We've tried everything from Grammarly to Readable, and InstaText beats them all by far. I can't believe how well it recognizes context. I bought it for a couple of employees whose English isn't the best, and now they can even write useful SOP manuals - a big cost saver considering we hired translators and copywriters before. Great Chrome extension as well. Works like a charm!
