I still remember the time when I had to write lengthy essays for college assignments. It always seemed like the blank laptop screen was staring back at me.
And that ticking clock, Oh! It always boosted my anxiety.
It wasn’t that I didn’t know the topic. It was just hard to put the ideas into the right words.
We’ve all been there, right? The pressure to write well can always be overwhelming for students.
But then I stumbled upon essay-writing tools designed to help us out. Tools that claim to make the process faster and smoother.
You might get skeptical.
Could a machine help in writing a good essay?
Could it understand the tone and structure that make an essay stand out?
To show you how well these tools perform, I decided to put one to the test. That is Editpad AI Essay Writer.
In this blog post, I’m going to walk you through my experience testing this tool. Let’s see if it’s truly capable of helping you craft essays effortlessly.
Setting the Test
To show you the reliability of essay writing tools, I decided to put Editpad Essay Writer through its paces. The tool has a good interface and is very simple to use. But I want to test how flexible it could be with a little creativity. My goal is to see if it could deliver a well-structured essay.
1. Picking a Topic
The first step was picking a topic for the input. After some thought, I settled on a simple topic i.e., “The Impact of Social Media on Modern Communication.”
It’s a relevant subject with plenty to explore. So, I found it an excellent choice for testing the tool’s ability to handle complex ideas.
2. Input Provided to The Tool
After deciding upon the topic the next thing, I did was input the topic into the tool. To ensure precision I added a few lines of guidance. You can think of it as giving a prompt to a tool.
So, I added the topic as “Write an essay discussing how social media has changed the way we communicate. Include both positive and negative impacts.”
3. Used the Features
While inputting the topic I found various other features that the tool offers like academic level, length, and essay type.
I selected the Middle School for the academic level, set the essay length to medium, and chose a descriptive essay style. These options seemed simple enough, and I was curious to see how well it could adapt to them.
4. Generated the Essay
With everything ready, I clicked the Write My Essay button at the bottom. In seconds, the tool generated a complete essay. The output seemed to be smooth and organized as you can see below.
5. Evaluating the Output
I was impressed by how easily the tool produced an essay based on the limited input I provided.
Now let’s take a closer look at the essay and evaluate its quality.
Assessing the Structure
I found the essay generated by this AI Essay Writer structured like a traditional essay. It had a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. It was looking promising, but I dug deeper to evaluate.
Let me tell you about the introduction paragraph first.
To me it seems concise and to the point. As you can see in the above image it started with a basic overview of social media and mentioned the popular platforms. Plus, it also mentioned both positive and negative impacts making it easy for the reader to expect what is in the essay.
Now let’s talk about the body paragraphs.
The body paragraphs were where the tool really tried to explore the topic. A notable good thing is that the tool balanced the benefits and drawbacks by creating two paragraphs for each. The ideas flowed logically from one point to the next, which was quite impressive.
Lastly, comes the conclusion. I found that it had tied everything together. It briefly summarized the main points and provided a closing thought as you can see in the below image.
Assessing the Writing
When it comes to the writing quality, I surprisingly found it coherent too. The sentences make sense, and the grammar is solid. To further make sure that the essay is free from grammar errors I provided the essay text to a grammar-checking tool. And got the results you can see below.
The language style was simple and straightforward, which worked for this test. But I felt a bit plain for more advanced writing needs. So, I’ll recommend users add a few phrases that can polish and make it sound more natural.
Final Words
When I compared the essay to the instructions I provided, I think that the Editpad Essay Writer did a good job of sticking to them. The length was appropriate. The tone also felt suitable for a middle-level essay. And the most important thing was that it addressed both the positive and negative impacts of social media as requested.
Overall, you cannot call it a perfect one. But the essay was a good starting point. With a little editing, it could easily meet the requirements for a decent assignment.
