FAQs

Common questions about this tool and how to use it.

What is the difference between paraphrasing and summarizing?

Paraphrasing rewrites a specific passage in different words while preserving all the details and roughly the same length. Summarizing condenses a longer piece into its main points - typically much shorter than the original. Both require understanding the source material fully. In academic writing, paraphrasing replaces a direct quote; summarizing replaces a longer section.

Does paraphrasing count as plagiarism?

Paraphrasing a source without citation is still plagiarism - you are using someone else's idea, research, or argument without giving them credit, even if you changed the wording. In academic contexts, properly paraphrased material must always be followed by a citation. The only content that does not require citation is common knowledge that can be verified in multiple independent sources.

How is paraphrasing different from content spinning?

Paraphrasing preserves meaning by genuinely rewording with comprehension. Content spinning replaces words with synonyms mechanically - often producing grammatically awkward or semantically wrong output. 'The dog ran quickly' spun to 'The canine traversed rapidly' is technically different words but sounds unnatural. Paraphrasing is a writing skill; spinning is a word-replacement algorithm.

When should I paraphrase instead of quoting directly?

Paraphrase when: the original phrasing is awkward or overly technical for your audience, you want to maintain your own writing voice, the passage is long and only part of it is relevant, or your style guide limits the number of direct quotes. Quote directly when the exact wording matters (legal text, definitions, notable statements), or when the author's specific language is part of your analysis.

How do I paraphrase without changing the meaning?

Read the original until you fully understand it - then close it and write the idea in your own words from memory. Key techniques: change sentence structure (active to passive, or vice versa), replace nouns and verbs with accurate synonyms, break long sentences into shorter ones or combine short ones. Then compare your version to the original to verify the meaning is preserved. Changing just a few words while keeping the structure is not paraphrasing - it is plagiarism.
