What is a paraphrasing tool?
A paraphrasing tool is a tool that rewrites text in new words while keeping the meaning. You paste a sentence or a few paragraphs, and it changes the words and sentence structure. This one can keep your tone, make it read more smoothly, more formally, or more simply, at about the same length.
When should you paraphrase?
Paraphrase when the meaning is right but the words aren't: a sentence that's hard to read, text that's too formal for your audience, or a point you've made the same way too often. If you're using someone else's idea, paraphrasing doesn't replace credit, so still name your source.
