Free OET Sentence Rewriter

Rewrite long, stiff, or grammatically tangled OET sentences into clear, examiner-friendly clinical phrasing. Specifically tuned for the Conciseness & Clarity criterion that catches most candidates out.

How to use the OET Sentence Rewriter

  1. Step 1

    Paste one sentence

    Drop a single sentence (or a short paragraph) into the box.

  2. Step 2

    See three rewrites

    The tool produces three alternatives — tightened, reframed, and patient-friendly.

  3. Step 3

    Pick the right tone

    Match the rewrite to the recipient. A referral to a consultant reads differently to an advice letter for a family.

  4. Step 4

    Re-run for the next sentence

    Repeat for the hardest sentences in your letter.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of sentences should I rewrite? +

Anything over 25 words, anything with three or more commas, or anything you'd hesitate to read aloud to a colleague.

Will the rewrite always be shorter? +

Often yes, but not always — Clarity sometimes requires a slightly longer sentence. Conciseness is about precision, not minimum word count.

Does this work for IELTS? +

It's tuned for OET healthcare context. IELTS Task 2 essay sentences benefit but use a separate set of rhetorical moves.

Is it free? +

Yes — daily allowance for anonymous users, more for email-verified, unlimited for subscribers.
