The guide

Rewriting is for saying it better, not for saying something else. Before you run the tool, ask what you want to improve: clarity, length, impact or register. The style you pick steers the whole result.

The best rewrites are the ones you touch up afterwards. Compare with your original, keep the best turns of phrase and bring your own words back where the text lost your personality.

For an important passage, try two or three different styles, then assemble the best of each.

Frequently asked questions

Is rewriting plagiarism?

Rewriting your own text is perfectly legitimate. If you start from someone else's text, cite your source: changing the words doesn't change where the ideas came from.

Is the meaning of the text kept?

Yes, the tool keeps the original ideas and information. Always reread the result to check it says what you meant.

What's the difference between "simpler" and "shorter"?

Simpler replaces complicated words and phrasing; shorter cuts the superfluous to get to the point, even if the vocabulary stays elevated.
