SmartChat

This feature is only included in SoftMaker Office NX Universal. It is not available in the Android or iOS version.

The ribbon command Review | SmartChat allows you to create AI-based texts. TextMaker uses the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI), which tries to understand a human question in order to generate a meaningful human-like response.

Note: The processing is performed by the online service ChatGPT rather than performed locally on your computer. You must thus be connected to the Internet to use this feature.

Choose the ribbon command Review | group Language tools | SmartChat chatgpt_icon and select from among the available uses of the AI in the menu that appears:

Summarize text

This option lets the AI summarize your text. In the open dialog box, choose whether you want to summarize only the text section (which you must have selected beforehand) or your entire document.

Specify the appropriate text length and the desired output language for the summary, and then click on the Summarize button. If you don’t like the summary, press this button again to obtain another result – the previous text will be overwritten.

Insert the result directly into your open document using the Insert button. If you have chosen Whole document, the result will be inserted at the cursor position. If you have chosen Selected text, the result will replace the selection.

Alternatively, you can copy the result to the clipboard using the Copy button and then paste it into TextMaker or into another program.

Write a story

You can instruct the AI to write an article using the keywords you suggest. In the open dialog box, enter the keywords relevant to your article.

Choose the text style, an appropriate text length and the desired output language of the article you want to create. For some languages that use different types of personal pronouns depending on the desired formality (in German, for example, it is the formal "Sie" versus the informal "Du"), the appropriate Formality can also be set.

Click on the Write story button to create the text. If you don’t like the result, press this button again to obtain another suggestion – the previous text will be overwritten.

Insert the result directly into your open document using the Insert button. The result always appears at the end of the document.

Alternatively, you can copy the result to the clipboard using the Copy button and then paste it into TextMaker or into another program.

Improve style and grammar

Use AI to improve the style and grammar of the existing text in your document. In the open dialog box, choose whether you only want to check the text section (which you must have selected beforehand) or your entire document.

You can have the text improved in the current language or choose another language into which the text should be converted. If you don’t like the suggestion, press the Suggestions button again to obtain another result – the previous text will be overwritten.

Insert the result directly into your open document using the Insert button. If you have chosen Whole document, the result will be inserted at the cursor position. If you have chosen Selected text, the result will replace the selection.

Alternatively, you can copy the result to the clipboard using the Copy button and then paste it into TextMaker or into another program.

Review text

Use AI to evaluate the existing text in your document with regard to its readability:

The AI analyzes the comprehensibility of the existing text.

Suggestions for improvement are offered to make the text easier to understand.

The school level required to understand the text is assessed.

In the open dialog box, choose whether you only want to check the text section (which you must have selected beforehand) or your entire document.

You can output the result of the analysis in the current language of your text or select a different language in which to formulate the result. If you don't like the result of the analysis, press the Review button again to get another result. The previous result will be overwritten.

Insert the result of the analysis directly into your open document using the Insert button. If you have chosen Whole document, the result will be inserted at the cursor position. If you have chosen Selected text, the result will replace the selection.

Alternatively, you can copy the result of the analysis to the clipboard using the Copy button and then paste it into TextMaker or into another program.

Talk to the AI

Enter into a direct dialog with the AI-driven module and receive an AI-based response to a question you have asked.

The response will be written in the language in which your question was formulated. If you press the Answer button again, you will obtain another result – the previous answer will be overwritten.

Insert the result directly into your open document using the Insert button. The result will be inserted at the cursor position. If text has been selected in your document, the result will replace the selection.

Alternatively, you can copy the result to the clipboard using the Copy button and then paste it into TextMaker or into another program.
