With the arrival of macOS Sequoia, Apple offers us a tool that completely changes the way we work with texts on the Mac. Writing Tools, part of Apple Intelligence, are a suite of tools that make it easier for us to write and edit texts throughout the system —also on Windows—. Whether we need to correct, rewrite or summarize, we can do it with a single click. Let’s talk about what we can do with them.
A look at the main functions: proofreading, rewriting and summary
One of the most interesting functions of Writing Tools is Proofread. This tool allows us to select any text and, with a simple click, automatically improve it in terms of grammar and spelling. Simply select the desired text, right click and choose Mostrar Writing Toolsfollowed by the option Proofread. Apple’s artificial intelligence will review the text and highlight any suggestions for improvement with a bright line.
This is the most interesting thing, because unlike other AI-based correction tools, here, we can review each change to ensure that there is no confusion in the message we want to convey. The buttons Following y Anterior They allow us to scroll through the suggestions and, if something does not convince us, we can always reverse it with a simple click on the button Revert. Complete control over our words while guaranteeing the quality of our texts.
With the Rewrite function, we can adapt the tone and style of our texts to suit different audiences and situations. If we need a text to be more friendly, professional or concise, we just have to select the option Rewrite after Mostrar las Writing Tools. Can we see the rewrite in real time and, if we want to try another variant, we simply click again on Rewrite.
Finally, sometimes we need to condense or restructure information to present it more clearly and concisely. This is where the Writing Tools’ summary and organization options come into play. By selecting the text and accessing the tools, we can choose between generating summaries, lists of key points or converting text into tables.
With a single click, we obtain a condensed version of the content or a more visual representation of it, making it much easier to understand and present the information. After reviewing it, we have the option of replacing the original text with the generated summary or simply copy it for use elsewhere or as a complement to the original information. A summary of the main ideas of a meeting before giving the full text in an email, or a comparative table to accompany a text of pros and cons about a certain product are excellent examples of what we can do in this field.
With these three simple features, the Writing Tools built into macOS Sequoia offer us an unprecedented level of productivity and information management, allowing us to improve accuracy, adjust tone, and organize information with astonishing ease. Thanks to your deep integration into the system, we can perform all actions through the applications that we already use and knowwithout having to go to the web or external tools.
Available for all Macs with an M1 chip or later and running macOS 15.1, these tools, although only in English for now, are ready to transform the way we interact with texts in our daily lives.
