What this tool checks
A focused signal for your next edit.
Passive voice can be useful when the action or result matters more than the actor. A review becomes valuable when passive constructions hide responsibility, repeat too often, or make a direct point harder to follow.

Questions
Before you use the result.
Is passive voice always a mistake?
No. It is common and often appropriate in scientific methods, formal descriptions, and sentences where the actor is unknown or unimportant.
How does the checker find passive voice?
It looks for forms of be followed by likely past participles, including common irregular verbs. This is a useful heuristic, not a full grammatical parse.
Will the tool rewrite passive sentences?
No. It identifies candidates so you can decide whether naming the actor would make the sentence clearer.
