Vocabulary enrichment
Before: Because bad weather, we cancel the trip.
After: Due to the inclement weather, we have been forced to cancel the excursion.
In this example, the word "bad" is rather informal. "Inclement" is a much better choice. "Because" is also changed to "Due to".
Before: fNIRS is better than fMRI because it's cheap and easy to carry.
After: fNIRS is more affordable and portable than fMRI, making it a more practical option for many people.
The words "cheap" and "easy to carry" are too informal. "Affordable" and "portable" are better choices.
Before: The teacher’s encouragement made me want to do better in my study.
After: The teacher's support motivated me to strive for better grades.
"make" and "want" are changed to "motivate" and "strive".
Grammar correction
Before: We used device purchased from X company to measure light intensity.
After: We used a device purchased from X company to measure light intensity.
Before: Our of 100 samples, we selected 54 which showed blue.
After: Out of 100 samples, we selected 54 that showed blue.
Before: 5 faculty from our university attended the confrence.

Paraphrasing
When writing papers, we often need to reference sentences published by past researchers to support our views. To avoid being accused of plagiarism, it is important to paraphrase the sentences.
Before: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States and the world.【Farooq 2020】
After: Despite advances in treatment, lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in the United States and globally.
Before: Robots fueled by Artificial Intelligence (AI) are expected to advance significantly over the next years and foster a key element of future societies.【Karnouskos 2021】

After: Environmental taxes are an effective means of allocating resources to improve social welfare.
Rewriting inappropriately long sentences
Before: According to the characteristic of fan-coil air-conditioning systems, this paper derives the cooling formula of fan-coil units based on heat transfer theories and puts forward a new method to gauge cooling named Cooling Metering on the Airside, which can monitor the individual air-conditioning cooling consumption during a period of time by detecting the parameters of inlet air condition – temperature and humidity – of the fan-coil air-conditioning system as well as the parameters of inlet cooling water provided by the chiller.

Before: internet, too many opinions, conflict, no listen to each other, polarized
After: The internet has brought about a deluge of opinions, which has lead to increased conflict as people struggle to be heard. Instead of listening to each other, people have become polarized, only valuing opinions that confirm their own.
Before: fNIRS, good; fMRI, worse in cost
After: fNIRS is a more cost-effective option than fMRI for studying brain activity.
Before: 11 participants, 4 male 7 female, all right-handed, mean age 23.5.
After: A total of 11 right-handed individuals (4 males, 7 females), with an average age of 23.5 years, participated in the study.

More than papers
Writing assistants can help you revise not only your papers, but also other written communications such as emails, news, blogs, and websites.
Before: My name is Josh from X University. I admire your work. I want to study under you next year. Is it OK?
After: I am Josh, a student from X University. I have been following your work and I am very impressed. I would like to study under your mentorship and learn from you next year. Would that be possible?
Rewriting an entire paragraph
Writing Assistant is also capable of revising entire paragraphs, saving you time.
Before: Among the documented medical applications of smartphones is their use in remotely diagnosing strokes (Demaerschalk, 2012; Mitchell, 2011), presentation of radiographic evaluations (Ege et al., 2013), identification of concussion (Curaudeau, 2011; Kutcher, 2013), detection of irregular pulse (McManus, 2012), managing surgical implants (Fakhar, 2013), detecting and preventing falls in aging patients (Mellone, 2012; Sposaro, 2009), medical monitoring (Dunton, 2011; Isik, 2013; Lee, 2011; Maki, 2011; Van Wieringen, 2008), characterization of Parkinson’s disease tremors (LeMoyne, 2010), heart rate monitoring (Kwon, 2011), and Cobb angle measurement in patients with scoliosis (Shaw, 2012). Many of these and other smartphone applications rely on sensors that come standard in today’s smart devices. For instance, each device is equipped with an accelerometer, which measures the acceleration caused by movement and gravity. Importantly, numerous studies have demonstrated that such devices are highly accurate and reliable, rivaling the performance of stand-alone accelerometers (Balg et al., 2014; Demaerschalk et al., 2012; Ege et al., 2013; Izatt et al., 2012; Mellone et al., 2012; Nishiguchi et al., 2012; Ockendon & Gilbert, 2012). The precision of the accelerometers in modern smartphones allows for many of the findings reported above, such as reliable identification of sudden movements related to falling, and real-time measurement of the curve in a scoliosis patients' spine.
After: The utilization of smartphones in medical applications is well-documented. These applications include remote diagnostics of strokes (Demaerschalk, 2012; Mitchell, 2011), radiographic evaluations (Ege et al., 2013), concussion identification (Curaudeau, 2011; Kutcher, 2013), irregular pulse detection (McManus, 2012), and management of surgical implants (Fakhar, 2013). Furthermore, smartphones have been used to detect and prevent falls in aging patients (Mellone, 2012; Sposaro, 2009), monitor medical conditions (Dunton, 2011; Isik, 2013; Lee, 2011; Maki, 2011; Van Wieringen, 2008), characterize Parkinson’s disease tremors (LeMoyne, 2010), measure heart rate (Kwon, 2011), and assess Cobb angle in scoliosis patients (Shaw, 2012). These capabilities are largely enabled by the sensors found in modern smartphones, such as accelerometers, which measure acceleration due to movement and gravity. Studies have demonstrated that smartphone accelerometers are highly accurate and reliable, comparable to stand-alone accelerometers (Balg et al., 2014; Demaerschalk et al., 2012; Ege et al., 2013; Izatt et al., 2012; Mellone et al., 2012; Nishiguchi et al., 2012; Ockendon & Gilbert, 2012). This precision has enabled the detection of sudden movements associated with falls and real-time measurement of scoliosis spine curves.
Writing Assistant not only rewrote the entire paragraph, but also kept the citations in place.
