# 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 tone: 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. |
| **Blog** | 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.
