DeepL Write Pro is a subscription-based AI writing assistant by DeepL, maker of the popular translation service.
The target audience is organizations and professionals. DeepL Write has been available as a free service for some time. You can feed it text to get improvement suggestions.
DeepL Write Pro takes the concept a step further. While it continues to give suggestions, these are now provided in real-time. Subscribers may also set different writing styles and tones to create results for specific audiences.
DeepL Write Pro launches with business, casual, academic, and simple writing styles, and friendly, diplomatic, confident, and enthusiastic tones.
DeepL says that Write Pro is available on the official website, desktop and mobile apps, browser extensions, and as integrations in services such as Gmail, Microsoft Outlook and Word, and many more.
Limitations: The main limitation at the time of writing is that DeepL Write Pro supports only the languages English and German. The creators promise to improve language support in the future.
DeepL promises maximum data security. Text are never stored without user consent and never used for AI training, according to the company. Organizations and businesses benefit from additional security features, including SSO-enabled logins and administrative controls.
As far as pricing is concerned, a single user DeepL Write Pro subscription is available for $10.99 per month, if paid annually. Switch that to monthly and the price jumps to $16.50 per user and month.
Closing Words
A lot of AI assisted writing helpers are coming on the market. Not all of these will be around in the coming years. DeepL Pro Write benefits from DeepL’s image as a company and its other services. The free version of DeepL Write is great for quick suggestions and it may help drive pro version signups.
These services can be useful, but this is up to the individual user or organization to decide. One question that will come up is whether they are useful enough to pay for them. Some AI writing services are free to use.
I like them, especially when writing in a foreign language. While it is still necessary to verify the output, they may help reduce spelling and grammar mistakes that you make, and also improve the tone or style of the text.
