Shopper questions

For which devices is fastwrite available?

fastwrite is available for macOS and Windows, as well as as a web version for iPad, Chromebook and other devices.

How does fastwrite work?

The add-in analyzes uploaded documents and understands their content. While writing, it suggests appropriate formulations, content and quotes. If no meaningful suggestion is possible based on own literature or the paper database, a generic suggestion without reference is provided.

Is there a risk of plagiarism when using fastwrite?

fastwrite was developed to avoid plagiarism. The tool automatically recognizes when content from your sources is used and immediately inserts a reference. Additionally, the AI helps formulate content in your own words rather than copying directly. AI use must be marked according to your university's guidelines.

Is fastwrite suitable for all fields of study?

Yes, the tool automatically adapts to your literature, regardless of your field of study.

It is never used for model training. All data processors involved are listed in the privacy policy and documents are deleted when you delete them.
