Not copied from the project's own blurb. These are things we opened and verified, with the date.
- 23 Aug 2026We checked that the link to the project still resolves.
- 14 Aug 2026We read the licence text itself (LICENSE). No unusual restrictions were stated.
- 2 Sept 2026We read the project's own documentation and found no sign that development has stopped.

Only 18 of the 51 meet all of the conditions above.
Counted from our own checks: every tool we list is examined against the same criteria.
What it does
A toolkit of techniques - repeated LLM rewriting, round-trip translation through other languages - for removing the machine-like quality from generated prose, explicitly including evasion of AI detectors among its goals. That framing determines when it is appropriate: using it on coursework, dissertations or job applications where AI is prohibited is academic or professional misconduct with serious consequences, and detectors are unreliable in both directions anyway. Polishing your own writing is fine; disguising provenance is not.
