Best Practices
Tips and guidelines for getting the most out of Truuly's humanization features
Last Updated: January 27, 2025
General Workflow
Start with Quality Input
Begin with well-structured AI-generated text that has clear paragraphs and proper grammar. Poor input leads to poor output, even with the best humanization.
Tips:
- • Use reputable AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) for initial generation
- • Provide detailed prompts to AI to get better source material
- • Fix obvious grammar errors before humanizing
- • Ensure text has proper paragraph breaks
Choose the Right Mode First Time
Select the appropriate humanization mode based on your use case. This saves time and credits by avoiding multiple re-runs.
Mode Selection Guide:
Always Review Before Submitting
Never submit humanized content without reviewing it. Use the comparison view to verify changes and ensure meaning preservation.
Review Checklist:
- ✓ Core message and meaning preserved
- ✓ Facts, numbers, and data unchanged
- ✓ Tone matches intended audience
- ✓ No grammatical errors introduced
- ✓ Technical terms remain accurate
Test with AI Detectors
Use Truuly's built-in detection tools to verify your humanized content passes AI detection before final submission.
Detection Strategy:
- • Run all 4 detectors (GPTZero, ZeroGPT, Originality.ai, Local)
- • Target average score below 30% for safety
- • If 2+ detectors show >50%, re-humanize with higher mode
- • Test with the specific detector your institution uses if known
Don't Over-Humanize
Running text through humanization multiple times usually degrades quality rather than improving it.
Why This Fails:
- • Each pass compounds changes and drifts from original meaning
- • Can introduce errors or awkward phrasing
- • Wastes credits and time
- • Instead: Choose a higher mode in one pass
Don't Ignore Context and Audience
Match your settings to your content type and target audience. Academic papers need different treatment than blog posts.
Common Mistakes:
- • Using Casual tone for academic papers (too informal)
- • Using Formal tone for social media (too stiff)
- • Basic vocabulary for technical documentation (lacks precision)
- • Advanced vocabulary for general audience blogs (alienating)
Content-Specific Best Practices
Academic Writing
Recommended Settings
Academic institutions use strict AI detection. Stealth mode ensures maximum transformation while formal tone maintains scholarly standards.
Tips for Academic Content:
- • Preserve citations and references exactly as written
- • Verify technical terminology remains accurate
- • Maintain consistent voice (first-person, third-person, passive)
- • Keep methodology descriptions precise
- • Run detection with GPTZero (widely used by universities)
Marketing & Blog Content
Recommended Settings
Blog readers prefer conversational, engaging content. Balanced mode provides enough humanization while casual tone keeps it relatable.
Tips for Marketing Content:
- • Aggressive mode works great for personality-driven brands
- • Keep CTAs (calls-to-action) clear and unchanged
- • Preserve brand-specific terminology and product names
- • Add personal touches manually after humanization
- • Test readability with target audience in mind
Technical Documentation
Recommended Settings
Technical docs need precision over creativity. Light mode preserves technical accuracy while removing obvious AI patterns.
Tips for Technical Content:
- • Verify code snippets and examples remain accurate
- • Keep API endpoint names and parameters exact
- • Maintain consistent terminology throughout
- • Don't humanize code blocks or command examples
- • Focus humanization on explanatory prose, not technical terms
Creative Writing
Recommended Settings
Creative content benefits from personality and variation. Aggressive mode adds unique flair while maintaining readability.
Tips for Creative Content:
- • Use Aggressive or Stealth for maximum personality injection
- • Casual tone adds conversational warmth
- • Manually add character-specific quirks after humanization
- • Verify dialogue sounds natural when read aloud
- • Creative writing has most flexibility - experiment!
Efficiency Tips
Use Keyboard Shortcuts
Master keyboard shortcuts to speed up your workflow dramatically.
- ⌘ Enter - Humanize text
- ⌘ E - Export result
- ⌘ Shift S - Share result
- ⌘ B - Toggle comparison view
- ⌘ / - Show all shortcuts
Save Successful Settings
When you find settings that work well for a specific use case, save them as a preset for quick reuse.
How:
- Configure mode, tone, and vocabulary
- Click "Save as Preset" button
- Name it (e.g., "Academic Essays", "Blog Posts")
- Load preset anytime from dropdown
Organize with Projects
Create separate projects for different clients, campaigns, or content types to keep your work organized.
Benefits:
- • Easy to find past results by project
- • Project-specific analytics and usage tracking
- • Share entire projects with team members
- • Export all results from a project at once
Batch Process Similar Content
If you have multiple similar pieces of content, process them back-to-back with the same settings for consistency.
Example:
Humanizing 10 blog posts? Set mode to Balanced, tone to Casual, vocabulary to Standard. Process all 10 without changing settings. This ensures consistent style across all posts.
Use History for Reference
Access your history to reference past humanization results and settings that worked well.
Tips:
- • Star/favorite successful results for quick access
- • Add notes to results explaining what worked
- • Filter history by project, date, or mode
- • Clone settings from past results
Quality Assurance Checklist
Before submitting any humanized content, verify the following:
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
Blindly Trusting Output
Never submit humanized content without reviewing it. While Truuly is highly accurate, always verify the output matches your needs and expectations.
Using Wrong Mode for Context
Don't use Light mode for highly AI-generated text or Stealth mode for already human-like content. Match the mode to the input AI probability.
Skipping AI Detection Testing
For high-stakes submissions (academic, professional), always test with multiple AI detectors. Don't assume it will pass based on the mode used.
Humanizing Non-AI Text
Truuly is designed for AI-generated content. Running human-written text through the humanizer can degrade quality and introduce errors.
Ignoring Usage Limits
Monitor your monthly word count and daily job limits. Running out mid-project can disrupt your workflow. Upgrade if you regularly hit limits.
