What Does “Purpose” Mean in the Humanizer?

When you use the Humanizer, choosing a Purpose tells Walter why you’re writing, so it can rewrite the tone, structure, and language to match. Think of it like setting the vibe: academic, persuasive, personal, or professional.


Purpose Options and When to Use Them


Purpose

Description

General

A safe default. Neutral tone, clear structure. Great if nothing else fits.

Academic

Removes casual language and focuses on clarity. Ideal for college work, research, or class submissions.

Essay

Slightly less rigid than Academic, but still formal. Best for school essays or opinion pieces.

Report

Objective and organized. Uses clear headings, passive voice when appropriate, and a factual tone. Great for business or research reports.

Article

Informative and readable. Keeps a clear structure and natural tone. Think blogs, op-eds, or how-tos.

Business

Polished and professional. Avoids slang and filler. Great for emails, memos, or client-facing documents.

Marketing

Friendly, persuasive, and engaging. Prioritizes flow, rhythm, and emotional appeal. Good for landing pages, ads, or social posts.

Letter

Personal and direct. Uses a conversational tone while staying respectful. Works well for cover letters or personal messages.

Story

Creative and fluid. Loosens structure and allows expressive language. For fiction, scenes, or narrative content.

Legal

Extremely formal, precise, and cautious. Prioritizes exactness and avoids casual phrasing or assumptions. For legal notes, terms, or policy-style writing.


Pro Tips

  • Choose Academic or Essay for schoolwork.
  • Choose Marketing only when your goal is persuasion, not for assignments.
  • Don’t overthink it. You can always re-run your text with a different setting and compare the results.


The Purpose setting affects how Walter rewrites your sentences, but it won’t add arguments, citations, facts, or claims. You’re still responsible for your ideas and edits.
