Paperpal integrates with Overleaf

When it comes to scientific writing, LaTeX remains the gold standard for creating high-quality academic papers and technical documents. Most academics turn to Overleaf, a top online LaTeX editor with over 17 million users globally; its easy interface, collaborative writing, and robust formatting capabilities make it a favorite among students, researchers, academics, and technical writers.

However, while Overleaf facilitates easy document sharing, collaborative writing and easy typesetting, its users often face challenges when it comes to editing LaTeX documents to perfect the language and grammar of academic text. If you’ve ever struggled to edit LaTeX documents for language clarity without disrupting complex LaTeX source codes, you’re not alone.

The lack of native grammar-checking tools in Overleaf forces users to either edit offline or take their work to other editing tools and risk altering their LaTeX formatting. This additional step in the writing workflow can be break your focus, adding to review times and delaying the often time-bound scientific writing process. This is where Paperpal, the comprehensive AI writing assistant trusted by over 1.5 million academics worldwide, comes in with the perfect solution!
