What is Paraphrasing?

Before we get into discussing how to start paraphrasing, we should clear up what paraphrasing actually is.

Paraphrasing is the act of taking a piece of content and changing the word and sentence structures without altering the original context/meaning. Paraphrasing can be categorized into two types. It can either be thorough or it can be a half-hearted job….which just involves changing a few words with synonyms. The latter is considered more or less the same as plagiarism.

Tips for Bloggers and Webmasters to Paraphrase Content

⦁ Pick the Right Tool

The first thing that you have to be particular about is picking the right tool.

As we mentioned earlier, paraphrasing can either be done in a neat and thorough way, or it can be a half-hearted job in which the paraphrased content is almost identical to the original one. Some tools on the internet are not that good, and they just haphazardly replace a few words with synonyms without caring for the overall context and meaning.

Some tools, on the other hand, work more intelligently and they only use synonyms that are directly related to the original words. When picking a paraphrasing tool, you should first try out its working a couple of times with a few lines of text. You should also what other users on the internet have to say about it.

⦁ Proofread and Edit

Regardless of the tool you’re using, you should always check and proofread the paraphrased content before finalizing it. It’s worth remembering that tools are, after all, automated, and they don’t have the intelligence of a human being.

Even if you are using a state-of-the-art tool, you should still proofread the output text to make sure that there are no grammatical, spelling, or contextual errors in it.

⦁ Pick the Proper Mode

This applies only to the paraphrasing tools that come with different paraphrase mode. Having multiple paraphrasing modes is a common feature that is found in most tools nowadays. You’ll also see this in some of the tools that we will discuss further on in this post.

The different modes offered by the tools basically decide the number of changes that will be affected to the given text. Most tools give a standard or basic mode that only replaces a few words in the content and an advanced mode that changes the sentence structures as well. So, when you want to paraphrase a piece of content, be sure to pick a paraphrase mode according to your requirements.

That’s pretty much it for the tips on paraphrasing. Let’s get started with some recommended tools that you can use for paraphrasing your content.

5. Linguix.com

Linguix.com is, in all honesty, one of the most intelligent and reliable paraphrasing tools that we have used so far. However, it comes with a lot of limitations…which does not make it ideal for bloggers and webmasters.

For one, you can only enter 300 characters in the input field. 300 characters are about 50 words…so that gives us an idea of how limited the functionality of this tool is. Furthermore, the tool does not let you add any type of symbols or special characters. You also cannot use any letters from a different language. But the results were simply outstanding.

 

The tool completely changed the sentence structures but without changing the context even slightly. It basically created completely new text from the input that we provided.

Features

⦁ Free to start
⦁ Web-based
⦁ Quick results
⦁ Extremely intelligent working
