Why it works
Long introductions, repeated points and roundabout phrases can make a useful sentence hard to follow. The shortener asks for a more concise version of the text you supply.
Keep the original beside the result when reviewing. Shortening can change emphasis, so check that important conditions, qualifications and requests are still present.
Turn phrases such as “due to the fact that” into simpler wording and reduce repeated setup.
Use Keep most, Rewrite some or Rewrite most to control how closely the rewrite follows your draft.
