About humAIne
humAIne — make AI-written text sound human again.
AI assistants leave fingerprints: em-dashes everywhere, curly quotes, "delve into," "leverage," "in conclusion,"
perfect Oxford commas, and prose that's just a little too clean. humAIne rewrites pasted or selected text to read
like a real person typed it — by reversing those tells and sprinkling in the kind of small, forgivable slips humans
actually make.
What it does
- Replaces em-dashes (—), en-dashes (–), curly "smart" quotes, and the ellipsis character (…) with their
plain-keyboard equivalents.
- Swaps overused AI vocabulary: delve into → look into, furthermore / moreover / additionally → also, leverage /
utilize → use, plethora / myriad → lots of, seamless → smooth, robust → solid. Drops filler like "in conclusion,"
and "it is important to note that."
- Adds light, realistic imperfections: dropped Oxford commas, missing intro commas after However / Therefore /
Meanwhile, occasional missing apostrophe in contractions (don't → dont), the odd dropped trailing period.
- Optional heavier slips for stronger output: missing space after a comma, lowercase standalone I, occasional typos.
- Three presets — Light, Medium, Heavy — plus per-pattern probability sliders for full control.
How to use it
- Toolbar popup — paste text, click Humanize, copy the result. Optional: auto-paste your clipboard when the popup
opens.
- Right-click menu — select text on any page and choose "Humanize selection."
- Keyboard shortcut — Ctrl+Shift+H (Cmd+Shift+H on Mac) to humanize the current selection.
- Paste interception (optional) — paste AI text directly into any textarea, input, or rich editor, and humAIne
rewrites it on the way in. Per-domain blocklist supported (e.g. mail.google.com, *.atlassian.net).
Privacy
- Everything runs locally in your browser. No accounts, no servers, no telemetry, no API keys. Your text never
leaves your device.
Permissions, briefly
- storage — saves your pattern settings and blocklist.
- contextMenus — adds the right-click "Humanize selection" item.
- activeTab / clipboardRead / clipboardWrite — reads selected text and writes the humanized result back.
- offscreen — performs clipboard operations from the service worker.
Good for
- Polishing ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini drafts before sending them in email, Slack, docs, or social.
- Removing obvious AI tells from blog posts and marketing copy.
- Anyone who's tired of em-dashes giving the game away.
Light, deterministic, fully offline. Open the settings page to tune every pattern individually.
