Introduction Imagine being able to speak at the speed of your thoughts, with your words instantly…
AI writing tools for drafting, rewriting and dictating text: general chat models, voice-to-text, article generators, and APIs for building text generation into products.
This category holds tools that produce or reshape prose. The general chat models such as ChatGPT and Claude AI will draft almost anything, but the more interesting entries solve one narrower problem: turning speech into finished text, generating a whole article from a topic, or drafting emails as you go. Knowing which problem you have saves you from forcing a chatbot to do a specialist's job.
Read generated text for confident errors, especially names, figures and quotes, and for the flat, repetitive rhythm that marks unedited AI prose. If you publish under your own name, the final pass has to be yours.
Writers will find a curated set in AI tools for writers. Fiction has its own section in Writing Stories.
