What others are saying about Viooly

We were able to take a dry story about an event attendee and craft it into a powerful advocacy story that was among our most popular articles in our newsletter.

I really love it as a tool to justify some of my edits to myself and to colleagues. Sometime I need to drastically rewrite something, and the improvement in the Viooly score...gives me a justification other than my own opinion.

I used the tool as part of a collaborative writing process between our policy team and myself. It really helped to show colleagues how their initial drafts scored and how my edits improved the scores across all the indicators. This helped remove tension and made the negotiations more objective and less about personal writing styles.

Viooly has prompted some really important and valuable conversations about our writing here in the office, so it’s definitely been a great tool.

100% of all survey respondents who used Viooly during the six-month pilot agreed that the tool helped improve the effectiveness of their communications in generating support for their work.
