Honestly, sometimes just outlining your key points before writing can save you from bloating your text in the first place.
I tried a bunch of browser extensions that claim to reduce wordiness but many just paraphrased weirdly. Anyone else faced this?
Have you checked out any online summarizers? Some AI tools can shrink text down pretty well without losing meaning.
I usually try to read my text out loud and cut out any words or sentences that feel redundant. But sometimes an app would save me loads of time!
Sometimes just changing passive voice to active can reduce word count a lot. Also cutting filler words like 'really', 'very', etc.
