Shorter Text Submissions

Prior to now, Paper Rater has considered it bad policy to allow shorter documents to be processed.  This is due to the fact that the tips you receive after submitting your paper are the result of statistical analysis of the text.  Many of these analyses require a large enough sample size (in words) to truly be effective.

Nevertheless, our users told us (more than once) that we should be allowing shorter pieces of text to be submitted.  We are listening.  As of this writing PaperRater.com will process pieces of text under 500 characters similarly to larger text with the following caveats:
  • Originality detection will be disabled
  • Vocabulary analysis will be disabled
  • Transitional phrases will not be analyzed
  • Raw statistics will not be displayed
Spelling, grammar, and word choice tips will still be given.

Thanks for the valuable feedback!

  1. Since my posts have to be 420 characters or less, I vote for processing pieces less than 500 using all caveats. Thanks

  4. I really enjoy using your program, however, many of the documents that my students submit are under 500 characters, It would be nice to get at least the originality detection. Thank you... a teacher...

  6. Some times we need grammar check for simple statements, blogs or social media updates. all we need is proper grammar check that usually fail in MS word like applications.

  9. please stop the baseless propaganda that you spreading. I known you are agent of self-righteous one clan's interest which is what brought us where we were few months ago . This president is our hero what Somali people had dreamed about, after dictatorship administration and long devastated civil war. We have to be appreciated, supportive, and grateful for this president who successfully rescued and restored our country. He created a great hope that we never had before. After few months of his administration.He has succeeded beyond the people expectation. Every body can tell how the country is recovering and prospering in fast pace. . International communities acknowledge our country after 22 year .Every day new embassadors with their identification poured in Mogadishu. People started rebuilding their destroyed houses and Lot of business established by the Somalia people. Too many family moved from overseas to their beloved country, because the hope and achievement of this president. We the fair-minded, real patriotic of Somali people saw the tangible progress that our phenomenal government achieved in short time .The only people who this government can't satisfy is twisted-mind self-righteous group who doesn't represented of the Somali people, even their clan .They are loser and eventually they will disappear. I know you can't see this progress because of Qabiil obscured your mind and you can't think in a right way. This illness has destroyed our country. Thanks to the god most of Somali people are healed from this illness except handful of people who has chronic Qabiil . I wish them for the best, and I am asking god to heal them and guide them into right direction
