It seems like even back then, William Shakespeare knew how much time content creators could save by using a great AI tool.
But we're not here today to talk about THAT Shakespeare. We're here to talk about the Shakespeare AI toolbar.
In this review, we will look at the following:
Overall, while the Shakespeare AI toolbar is certainly useful, it doesn't seem to warrant the price.
When you consider that other, often cheaper platforms tend to include a Google Chrome extension as part of a larger offering, it is hard to justify paying for this tool.
It is also hard to know what to pay! In most places, the price is set at $49, whereas in others, such as below, it is set at $34.
As with all of our AI writing tool reviews, all of the information you see here has come from our own first-hand experience with the Shakespeare AI toolbar. That means checking it picks up grammar mistakes, seeing if it can summarize text, and whether it can generate high-quality content.
Essentially, we want to see if the AI tools we review can actually save time for you, help you write smarter, and benefit your content creation strategy or whether it is one you should avoid.
As the Shakespeare AI toolbar is limited in its functions and volume of output, it makes it a much more useful tool for anyone researching information online who needs to quickly summarize content or have it explained to them in greater detail.
To get the most out of the Shakespeare AI toolbar, try using it for free in the dashboard first to see whether or not you want to pay for the tool as a Chrome extension.
The Shakespeare AI toolbar is not set up to create long forms of content. Instead, it focuses on providing short answers and summaries, which means it is handy for education but not ideal for content creation.
As the Shakespeare AI platform only offers a Google Chrome extension, it is limited in its features compared to other AI writing tools. However, when you download the toolbar, you can use it to summarize, expand, or simplify text, change the tone of voice, and so on.
For example, if we asked it to write an article about grapes...
....we could then expand that into:
You can't do this for an entire piece of website content as there seems to be a word limit, but it does make the tool useful for explaining confusing sentences in much greater detail.
It can also help summarize content, which is ideal for quickly recapping long LinkedIn posts or Twitter threads.
With regards to alternatives, there are plenty of AI tools that offer a Google Chrome extension as part of their service whilst also offering other features and tools on their platform. Jasper AI is a great example of one such tool that offers a similar Chrome extension but other features that allow you to optimize keywords, create product descriptions, and so on.
Let's go back to our grape example from earlier. As you can see, even though the text is only 140 words long, Originality.ai immediately detects that it is AI-generated.
Overall, the Shakespeare AI toolbar is perfectly usable and fine, but we are left wondering why you would pay such a high price for it when other tools give this service away for free as part of their much larger subscription.
As with other AI tools, the Shakespeare ai toolbar uses the same OpenAI API key as others we have reviewed, so it's hard to see what stands out that would make you want to buy it.
From this review, we found the AI-powered toolbar to be a secure and reliable option for fixing grammar and spelling mistakes. While the AI capabilities don't seem to differ much from the AI-powered assistance you get for free from ChatGPT, it certainly is a safe and secure tool.
To install the Shakespeare AI toolbar, you will need to purchase the paid option with a one-time payment. However, you can test the tool out for free on a web page on their website before you do so.
While both tools claim to offer seamless writing assistance, the Shakespeare AI toolbar does so via a Google Chrome extension, which means rather than having to log in to ChatGPT in a separate tab for AI writing support, you can get it whilst you are on the page through the extension.
