Ethertext

What is Ethertext?

Ethertext is an AI-powered text editor designed to speed up editing and writing tasks. Copy text, then transform it with a single click — adjust tone or style, improve grammar, or apply custom AI prompts. It also handles code-related work such as explaining, debugging, or translating code snippets (including translation into JavaScript).

The tool includes keyboard shortcuts for quick actions: cleaning up selected text, saving text or entire webpages for later, dictating and transcribing your voice, capturing text from your screen, and recalling previously saved text with AI assistance. You can also set up local AI models, such as Ollama (with support for models like Llama 2, Falcon, and Mixtral), and switch between different AI models depending on the task. Embedding models can be used to improve text quality, and Q&A-style editing lets you refine input using prompts.
