About Passive voice detector

Passive voice constructions reduce clarity and engagement in most writing styles by obscuring who performs an action. The Passive Voice Detector identifies passive voice sentences in pasted text, highlights them visually, and shows the percentage of sentences that are passive. The standard recommendation for business and journalistic writing is to keep passive voice below 15%. Academic writing tolerates a higher proportion in specific conventions. All detection runs in your browser — no text is uploaded.
