Get technical writing comments on your docs
Paste your docs and get comments on clarity, structure, completeness and examples, anchored to each passage, with your text left as written.
River's technical writing review adds editorial comments to your documentation without rewriting anything. You get specific feedback anchored to the passages it is about: clarity, structure, completeness, examples, and consistency. The number of comments follows what the document needs, with the most important problems first, so a tight page gets a few notes and a rough draft gets many.
Unlike AI rewriters, we add comments only. The AI understands technical writing standards (clear explanations, complete examples, proper structure, audience awareness), identifies specific improvements, and explains why each matters. You control every change while learning what makes documentation effective.
This tool is perfect for technical writers self-editing docs, engineers reviewing documentation, teams maintaining quality standards, and developers learning technical writing. Use it on every document before publishing to catch issues and improve clarity.
What Makes Technical Writing Effective
Technical writing succeeds when readers accomplish their goals quickly. Effective docs start with clear purpose, use consistent terminology, provide complete working examples, explain why not just what, structure information logically, and anticipate reader questions. Good technical writing reduces support burden and increases product adoption.
