Why I Created TextFixer

My name is Adam Szaloczi, and I created TextFixer to solve a problem that was driving me crazy: writing longer texts or comments and constantly worrying about imperfect writing.

You know that feeling when you're crafting an important email, writing a social media post, or leaving a comment, and you're second-guessing every sentence? "Does this sound professional? Did I make any typos? Is this clear enough?"

I found myself constantly switching between apps, copying text to grammar checkers, or relying on separate tools that broke my writing flow. It was frustrating and time-consuming.

I wanted to write more confidently without the mental overhead of switching apps or interrupting my thought process. The solution seemed simple: just write, and if I'm not sure about something, fix it right then and there - without leaving the app I'm already in.

So I built TextFixer as an iOS Shortcut that works everywhere. Select any text, tap share, choose TextFixer, and boom - your text is instantly improved. No app switching, no copying and pasting, no breaking your flow.

Under the hood, TextFixer relies on OpenAI's ChatGPT 3.5, which provides the perfect balance between quick response times and reliable results. This proven AI technology ensures your text corrections are both fast and intelligent, understanding context and nuance rather than just checking basic grammar rules.

It started working so well for me that I wanted to share it with others. Turns out, I wasn't the only one with this problem! Now TextFixer helps thousands of people write with confidence every day.

Whether you're a professional sending client emails, a student writing assignments, or just someone who wants their social media posts to look polished - TextFixer is here to help you communicate better, faster.
