Introduction
Since I decided to start a blog, my goal has been to write clear and concise texts that effectively convey my knowledge and insights. To help me achieve this, I have been using DeepL Write, an AI writing companion developed by the German-based company DeepL SE. It utilizes a comprehensive language model to enhance the accuracy of your written communication by correcting spelling and grammar errors. Additionally, you can specify your desired writing style and tone to tailor it to your specific situation. Although the tool is currently in beta, I have found it to be effective in improving my last 13 blog articles.
How to use DeepL Write
DeepL Write is straightforward to use. Simply open the page in your preferred web browser:
DeepL Write: AI-powered writing companion
First, select the language in which you wish to write. Currently, only English and German are supported. Second, choose your desired writing style.

I often use the ‘casual’ style for my blog or the ‘technical’ style for technical how-to guides. In the past, I never set the tone, but now I choose to use an ‘enthusiastic’ and ‘friendly’ tone. You can choose only one style but multiple tones. You must accept your choice with ‘Apply’.

Then you are ready to go – simply paste the text you want to improve on the left side and let DeepL optimize it. You are limited to 2000 words, but you can split longer texts into multiple blocks of less than 2000 words to work with the free version of the tool. More details on the process are shown in the example below.
Example
As an example, I will demonstrate how I optimized the introduction of this blog article. After pasting the text, DeepL Write takes a few seconds to process it. In this case, it took three seconds. The processing speed may vary, but in my experience, it is always between one and ten seconds:

This is the initial outcome:

I have never used the ‘tone’ selection before. The result is a little too enthusiastic for my taste. I turned off both tones, and this is the second result:


This version seems better. Click on the highlighted sections of the text for alternatives:

After replacing the first sentence with the provided alternative, I am satisfied with the result, so I copy the text from the right side back to my blog. After pasting it onto my blog, I realized there was a missing space at the start of a sentence:

It is always important to carefully reread the corrected sentence. Although this is a minor mistake, I have seen instances where AI tools have produced completely incorrect texts that differ from the original message (AI hallucination).
When selecting the highlighted text, you have the option to shorten or expand it:

Conclusion
DeepL Write is an awesome tool that can help you create better texts and speed up your writing process. I enjoy writing in English, but my choice of words and grammar is not always perfect due to my native language being German. This tool helps me improve my writing in an easy and effective way.
I hope you enjoyed this article.
