Passive Voice Checker flags likely passive-voice sentences in your content and suggests quick active-voice alternatives so editors can improve clarity and engagement before publishing. Paste your text and run analysis to see passive usage percentage, total flagged sentences, and sentence-level suggestions. The detector uses a practical heuristic that looks for be-verbs near past participles and "by ..." agent phrases, keeping performance fast and results interpretable. This solves a frequent writing pain point where teams need to reduce vague constructions and make subjects act directly. A sample input button demonstrates typical findings instantly, and an optional AI Assistant can generate a prioritized rewrite plan from your measured passive percentage. All processing is explicit and user-triggered, suitable for editorial reviews and content refresh workflows.
