Keep your writing voice
The AI suggests. You decide what stays.
This page is about your writing voice, the words and rhythm you choose, not speech to text. In Inki you start from your own draft, suggestions arrive inline, and you accept or dismiss them one at a time.
The short answer
Three approaches compete for this problem. Full-draft generation is the fastest way past a blank page, but the sentences belong to the model, and that is where "it all sounds the same" comes from. Overlay proofreaders correct what you already wrote, mostly at the level of grammar and mechanics. Inki sits between them: you write or paste the draft, then work through inline suggestions and keep the ones you want. Nothing enters your text unless you accept it. The table below compares Inki with full-draft generation, the most contrasting of the three. If you would rather describe a piece and get it back finished, a generation tool fits you better.
Inki vs Full-draft AI
Compared as approaches to keeping your writing voice
| Inki | Full-draft AI | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Your own draft, notes, or outline | A prompt, then a complete draft from the model |
| Who chooses the final wording | You accept or dismiss each inline suggestion | You edit afterwards, or prompt again for another version |
| Scope of one change | Select a phrase or paragraph and change only that | Usually regenerates the whole passage |
| Getting past a blank page | Slower, because you write the first pass | Fastest option available |
| Reviewing suggestions | Each suggestion is listed on its own, to apply or dismiss individually | Output arrives as new text you compare yourself |
| Model choice | Seven models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Moonshot, plus Auto. Switch per task | Typically one model family per product |
| Japanese and English | Native in both, including keigo and business email | Varies by tool, and quality outside English is uneven |
| Training on your writing | Your input is not used to train external models | Varies by tool. Check the training terms of the one you use |
| Dictation (speech to text) | Not included. Paste a transcript and edit it | Not included in most generation tools either |

Pricing and features as of August 19, 2026
Choose Inki if
- You already have a draft, or you would rather write the first pass yourself and use AI to sharpen it
- You want changes at the level of a phrase or a paragraph, not a regenerated document
- You want to read every suggestion before it lands, and apply or dismiss each one yourself
- You write in both Japanese and English and want both handled natively, including keigo and Japanese business email
- You want to choose the model for the job: seven models plus Auto, switchable inside the editor
- You want notes, drafts, and the AI in one workspace instead of moving text between a chat window and a document
Choose a different approach if
- Full-draft generation (general AI assistants, prompt-to-draft writing tools): the fastest way to fill a blank page, and the right call when the text does not need to sound like anyone in particular, such as routine summaries or first-pass boilerplate
- Overlay proofreaders (browser extensions, mobile keyboards): if your writing already lives in Gmail, Docs, Slack, and Word, a tool that checks you everywhere you type saves more time than moving text into a separate editor
- Style guide tools: when a whole team has to sound consistent, an agreed set of rules enforced across writers does that job better than per-writer control. Grammarly and Lex both offer style guide features; Inki does not
- Tools that build a style profile from your archive: some products generate style guidelines from your past articles, PDFs, or URLs and apply them to new drafts. If automatic style replication from an archive is the feature you are shopping for, compare those directly
- Dictation and speech-to-text apps: if what you actually want is to talk and get text, that is a different category. Inki edits text you have already typed or pasted
Who Inki isn't for
- You want a finished piece from a prompt with as little editing as possible
- You want the tool to rewrite a whole draft in one go, rather than approving changes passage by passage
- You mainly need a proofreader that follows you across every app and inbox
- You need one enforced voice across a team, with a shared style guide and brand rules
Draft with context,
not copy-paste.
Nothing is generated in a separate window and pasted back, which is where a draft usually loses its shape.
Your notes, outline, and earlier sections feed the AI before it writes a word, so a later paragraph stays consistent with an earlier one.
Your sentence stays
the starting point.
The change applies only to the passage you selected, and it waits for you to accept it.
Tighten phrasing, shift tone, or smooth transitions without leaving the editor, and dismiss anything that makes the sentence smoother but less yours.
A second reader
that never gets tired.
The review sidebar lists grammar, structure, tone, and readability issues, and you apply or dismiss each one on its own.
One click runs the check across your entire project, so a long draft gets read in one pass instead of paragraph by paragraph.
