Passive Voice Detector

Paste your writing to detect sentences that likely contain passive voice. Passive sentences are highlighted with the problematic words marked. Aim to keep passive voice below 20% for most writing styles.

Passive voice: "The report was written by the team" → Active: "The team wrote the report." Active voice is more direct and easier to read. Some passive voice is acceptable (scientific writing, when the agent is unknown), but active is generally preferred.
