This is a great tool for analyzing students writings. Hemingway highlights long and complex sentences and common errors. It also use different code colours to show you the areas in your writing that you need to work on , for instance if you see a yellow highlight, shorten the sentence or split it. If you see a red highlight, your sentence is so dense and complicated that your readers will get lost trying to follow its meandering, splitting logic. Phrases in green have been marked to show passive voice and adverbs are helpfully shown in blue. Get rid of them and pick verbs with force instead.
