Turn passive constructions into direct active sentences.
Passive voice puts the action before the person or thing doing it: “The report was written by the team.” Active voice puts the actor first: “The team wrote the report.” Active sentences are usually shorter and clearer. The converter rewrites passive constructions into active ones and leaves the rest of your text alone.
