Writing help
Fix your spelling and grammar with one tap.
fixtext checks your writing for spelling and grammar mistakes and fixes them with one tap. It can also rewrite a message to sound more professional, friendlier or shorter.
Right now fixtext is free and by invitation. If you were invited, you got a personal link. Keep it to yourself: it's your key to fixtext.
Set it up
Pick where you want to use it:
Android phone Gmail in Chrome Mac
iPhone isn't supported yet.
Shortcuts (Gmail in Chrome and the Mac app): Option+F fixes everything at once. Option+D opens fixtext so you can pick fixes or rewrite. On the Mac these work on selected text in any app. On Windows use Alt instead of Option.
Android phone
- Download the fixtext app on your phone.
- Open the downloaded file and tap Install. If your phone asks, allow your browser to install apps, then tap Install again.
- Open your personal link on the same phone and tap Switch on the app. The app opens and says "Your key works".
- In the app, tap Open Accessibility settings. Find fixtext (on Samsung it's under "Installed apps") and switch it on.
If Android says the setting is restricted: in the app, tap "Open fixtext app info", then the ⋮ menu at the top right, then "Allow restricted settings". Then try step 4 again. - Done. Start typing in any app (Gmail, WhatsApp, Messages). A small fixtext button shows up on the right. Tap it to check what you wrote.
Why Accessibility? It's the only way Android lets an app see the text box you're typing in, so the button can read and fix it. fixtext only reads the text when you tap the button.
Gmail in Chrome (Mac or Windows)
- Add fixtext to Chrome (follow the steps on that page).
- Click your personal link in Chrome. It says "fixtext is on".
- Done. Write an email in Gmail. Mistakes get a red underline. Click one to fix it, or click the small fixtext icon in the corner of the email to fix them all.
Mac (any app)
The Mac version works in any app, not just Gmail. Open your personal link on your Mac: it shows a one-line command to paste into Terminal. No link? Email support@s9systems.com.
