About CryingBird Proofreader
CryingBird Proofreader lets you select text on any page and, from the right-click
menu:
😭 Proofread — fix grammar, spelling and punctuation while keeping tone
😭 Rewrite — polish text for clarity and fluency
😭 Humanize — remove telltale AI-writing patterns (adapted from academic-humanizer, MIT)
😭 Translate — to your default language or any language on your custom list
😭 Custom prompts — up to 3 user-defined actions with editable titles
Highlights:
• Bring your own key (BYOK): OpenAI-compatible APIs (OpenAI / OpenRouter /
DeepSeek / Ollama / LM Studio…) and the Anthropic Messages API
• Multiple LLM profiles, one-click connection test, model list loading
• "Apply result" writes the output straight back into editable fields
• Automatic retry (up to 3 times) with clear error toasts
• UI in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English and Japanese
• Privacy-first: no telemetry, no developer server; settings and API keys are
stored only in your browser's local storage
Note: this extension requires your own LLM API key. Selected text goes directly
from your browser to the endpoint you configure — no middleman server.
