Inconsistent apostrophes/quotation marks on Write/Rewrite

Feature RequestWeb app

Currently, if you use a normal keyboard, you get normal curved quotation marks or apostrophes. The majority of time, any output from Write or Rewrite will turn quotation marks into straight ones. The result is a mix of curved and straightened marks, leading to people knowing something has potentially been AI written just by the quotation marks

Standard keyboard: “”

Sudowrite output: ""

Standard keyboard: ‘

Sudowrite output: '

Sudowrite should automatically match the proper aprostrophes or comma, or the default should be what’s on the keyboard. Currently, the only workaround is typing the quotation/apostrophe and pressing backspace to make it straight. When doing lots of manual edits this gets annoying

    Hi- I have noticed the quotation mark variations a lot as well. Now I have straight and curly quotations and I feel like I’m gonna have to go back and change all of them to a uniformed mark. I never even knew there were different types. Is there a way for sudowrite to use only curly quots?

      So far not yet. I’ve just started using straight quotation marks, since find and replacing the straight quotation marks to the curly ones ended up being super inconvenient. It still bothers me because my apostrophes are the curled ones…

      I have also been called out for using an AI software for one pen name because the quotation marks are noticed, so readers will definitely notice if you miss quotation marks.
