How do I fix passive voice in DeepSeek text?
Paste it above and hit Fix. It rewrites the passives hedging a reasoning step, leaving correct ones alone.
Is it free?
Yes: 5 free runs every 24 hours, no account required.
Should I use active voice everywhere instead?
No. Passive voice is correct when the agent is unknown, irrelevant, or de-emphasised on purpose, and it's standard in technical writing.
Why does DeepSeek default to this specific passive?
It reasons through a problem before answering, and that reasoning process surfaces as phrasing like 'it can be observed that'.
Why is passive voice sometimes correct?
When the result matters more than who produced it, or the agent isn't known, passive says that more clearly than forced active voice.
Why do technical papers use so much passive voice?
A methods section describes a procedure, not who did it. That convention holds regardless of who or what drafted the sentence.
What's a reasoning-hedge passive exactly?
A passive that drops the agent to let an inference read as an established fact, rather than naming it as a conclusion.
Does it change my meaning?
It shouldn't. Sentence structure changes, not facts, names or numbers. Check the result before you use it.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
It's sent to our AI server to be analyzed and rewritten, then returned. It isn't used to train models.
Will it flag every passive sentence?
It identifies all of them but only recommends changing the ones hedging an inference as fact.
Can I keep a flagged sentence as is?
Yes. The tool suggests changes; you decide what to keep.
Does it work on technical writing?
Yes, and it recognises the convention, so a methods section won't get pushed toward active voice needlessly.
How many free runs do I get?
5 on a rolling 24-hour basis, refilling 24 hours after each run.
Does it work on long documents?
Yes, longer input just takes a little longer. Checking in sections is easier.
Does it work in other languages?
Built and tested mainly for English. Other languages may work, but quality isn't guaranteed the same way.
Is there a batch tool or API?
Not yet. Text runs through individually, within your daily allowance.
Does it work on phones?
Yes, fully, in any modern mobile browser.
How's this different from the general passive voice fixer?
This one's tuned for DeepSeek's specific reasoning-hedge passive. A different model's draft fits the general fixer or that model's version just as well.
Does it strip a passive that names its source, like 'it has been shown by prior research'?
It shouldn't, since naming the source is attribution, not a hedge. Check any flagged sentence for a nearby citation before accepting a rewrite.
What if a hedge is stacked on another hedge?
Run the result through a second time. That's one of the few cases here where a second pass on already-processed text is worth doing, since one run may only untangle the outer layer.
Does it touch passive voice sitting inside a quote?
It shouldn't rewrite anything inside quotation marks, since that's someone else's exact wording, not a working-out step to fix.
Does it flag a passive with 'by' naming the actual agent?
Usually not. Naming the agent directly is the opposite of hedging, so those constructions are typically left alone.
