The Ultimate Paraphrasing Guide (A Step-by-Step Workflow To Getting The Best Out of ContentBot’s Paraphrasing Tool)

“Uggh…I cannot find the right words to convey my message.” 

“Rewriting content is such an exhausting and time-consuming process.”

Sound familiar?

Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Paraphrasing is an essential skill with applications in almost all professions but is challenging to master. 

That’s why we’ve come up with a state-of-the-art paraphrasing tool that harnesses the power of AI to make rewriting a breeze.

It can paraphrase up to 2,000 words with just the click of a button — all while providing highly-unique content that conveys the same message as the original piece. 

What’s the Community Saying? 

Take a look:

How Does It Work?

Our paraphraser uses artificial intelligence to simplify the process of rewriting content.

Our revolutionary approach does not simply replace words with synonyms but instead transforms the whole sentence or paragraph, adding details that provide value. 

We use Levenshtein distance to calculate the content variability. And each sentence or paragraph comes with a variability score so you can see how unique the generated content is. 

Let’s look at an example of content rewritten by our paraphrasing tool:

Original Text: Marketing automation also helps brands engage with customers through personalized messages based on their behavior, interests, and preferences

Paraphrased Text Generated (Option 1): Marketing automation is the process of using software to automate repetitive tasks within marketing while tracking engagement and performance. It enables marketers to send personalized messages, execute A/B tests and measure customer behaviors to gain insights.

Paraphrased Text Generated (Option 2): Marketing automation is changing the way that brands connect with their customers. It’s a software suite that automates and measures marketing tasks and workflows. It allows brands to deliver personalized experiences across multiple channels in multiple languages and time zones.

Getting the Most Out of the Paraphrasing Tool: A Step-by-Step Workflow

1. Insert the text you’d like to paraphrase

This could be a sentence, multiple paragraphs, or even an article up to 2,000 words. Paste your content into the provided text box. 

You’ll also get information about the number of words in your source material and the number of credits the rewrite will consume. 

2. Choose the additional options (as needed)

High Content Variability

Selecting the option ‘Power Mode’ will ensure that every sentence or paragraph differs significantly from the original text. This option is great when you’re in a rush and want quality output quickly. 

The drawback is that this option consumes 4.5 times the amount of rewritten words from your credits. 

On the other hand, a regular paraphrase only consumes 2.5 times the amount of generated words from your allotted credits. 

A quick hack to save your credits and get a substantially-variable result is to click ‘rewrite copy’ without selecting this option. Just click ‘regenerate’ if any sentences or paragraphs come back with a low-variability score. This process will just take an additional minute or two, and no credits are deducted for content with low variability. 

Translation

Our paraphrasing tool supports translation in over 100+ languages. No, we’re not kidding!

From Catalan to Chinese, we’ve got you covered. 

Click on ‘language options’ and choose your translation service (Google Translate, Watson, or DeepL). 

Fun fact: If you choose DeepL, you can decide how formal you’d like the translation to be. However, this is only available for German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, and Russian. 

Then, select the source language (the language your original text is in) and the target language (the language you’d like the rewritten content to be generated). 

You can even paraphrase text from British English to American English!

P.S. Translation doesn’t consume any additional credits. 

3. Click ‘Rephrase my Content’

This step is pretty self-explanatory. 

Once you’ve entered the original content and selected the extra options (as required), hit ‘rewrite copy’. 

Before this, double-check the number of credits needed for the rewrite. 

Then, let our AI get to work and do the heavy lifting for you. 

4. See the results

Voila, your rewritten content can be ready for you in as little as 15 seconds (depending on the length of the source)!

Our paraphrasing tool comes with a side-by-side view so you can compare the original text with the rewritten copy — on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis. 

We also have some interesting features:

• Variability score: This tells you how unique the generated content is compared to the source. The rewritten text can be of ‘high-variability’, ‘medium-variability’, or low-variability. No credits are consumed for output with low variability. 
• Number of words: This provides a look at how many words are in the original text and how many words the generated content comprises. 

Not happy with the generated content or got an output with low variability? Click on ‘regenerate’. Watch as the magic happens with a completely new rewrite. 

The best part? You don’t need to regenerate the entire text, just the sentence or paragraph you’re not happy with. 

You can also edit and make changes to the generated content within the text editor itself. Or even choose to keep an original paragraph while changing up the rest. 

5. Click ‘next’

Once you’ve made the requisite changes and are happy with the final product, click ‘next’. 

This will lead you to a final page where you can compare the source and rewritten content and make the necessary edits. 

Once you’re happy with the content, you can copy-paste or export it as a TXT file. 

Then click on ‘clear and start over’ to begin afresh with a new rewrite. 

6. Run your content through our plagiarism checker

A key benefit of content rewriting is to reduce the risk of plagiarism. 

The best way to ensure this is to run your text through a reliable plagiarism checker. ContentBot makes this easy by providing a built-in tool (included within the Premium and Premium+ pricing plans).

Start by entering the edited content into our plagiarism checker (you can check up to 500 words per attempt). 

We’ll then provide you with a uniqueness score, plagiarism percentage, and the sources if plagiarism is detected. 

Make the changes, cite your sources as needed, and that’s it. You’re good to go!
