Notepad in Windows now includes two amazing AI-powered features: Rewrite and Summarize. These tools help you refine and shorten your text with the assistance of GPT.
Rewrite allows you to improve clarity, adjust tone, or modify the length of your content. It’s perfect for enhancing your writing seamlessly. Summarize quickly shortens long-form text into high-level overviews, extracting key points from documents, notes, or articles to streamline your workflow. Whether you want to fine-tune your writing or distill complex information, these AI features help you work more efficiently in Notepad.
Using Rewrite in Notepad
To use Rewrite in Notepad, start by highlighting the text you want to improve. You can access Rewrite by right-clicking the selected text and choosing a Rewrite option, selecting a Rewrite button in the toolbar, or using the Ctrl + I keyboard shortcut. Each of these methods allows you to choose from various rewrite options, such as rewriting the text, making it shorter or longer, or adjusting the tone and format.
For example, you can choose to rewrite a sentence to sound more formal or make a paragraph more concise. You can also customize the tone of your writing to match your needs, from casual to professional.
Tip: If you don’t have Windows Notepad installed, you can download it from the Microsoft Store.
After selecting your desired option, Notepad will generate three variations of the rewritten text. You can review these versions, and with one click, apply your chosen rewrite directly to your document, making it easy to refine your writing in real-time.
Using Summarize in Notepad
To use Summarize in Notepad, start by highlighting the text you want to shorten. You can access Summarize by right-clicking the selected text and choosing Summarize, or selecting Summarize from the Copilot menu.
After selecting Summarize, you can customize the summary length by choosing short, medium, or long, depending on how much detail you want to retain. You can also regenerate summaries to see different variations and choose the one that best fits your needs.
After generating a summary, you can review the output and insert it directly into your document with one click. This makes it easy to distill complex information into simple, digestible points.
