Data Transfer Guide

Grammarly does not offer direct data export to Wordtune. To transfer data: First, manually note or screenshot Grammarly settings like tone preferences and custom dictionary words. For documents, download any files from Grammarly Editor and save them locally. In Wordtune, manually input custom words into its ignored list if available. For writing samples, copy-paste text into Wordtune Editor to generate new suggestions. Since both tools operate via real-time analysis rather than stored user data, the migration focuses on adapting settings, not bulk transfers. Consider keeping Grammarly exports for reference during transition.
