Paraphrase and Summary

Paraphrase and summary are different writing strategies that ask you to put another author’s argument in your own words. This can help you better understand what the writer of the source is saying, so that you can communicate that message to your own reader without relying only on direct quotes. Paraphrases are used for short passages and specific claims in an argument, while summaries are used for entire pieces and focus on capturing the big picture of an argument. Both should be cited using the appropriate format (MLA, APA, etc.).  See KU Writing Center guides on APA Formatting , Chicago Formatting , and MLA Formatting for more information. 

When you paraphrase, you are using your own words to explain one of the claims of your source's argument, following its line of reasoning and its sequence of ideas. The purpose of a paraphrase is to convey the meaning of the original message and, in doing so, to prove that you understand the passage well enough to restate it. The paraphrase should give the reader an accurate understanding of the author's position on the topic. Your job is to uncover and explain all the facts and arguments involved in your subject. A paraphrase tends to be about the same length or a little shorter than the thing being paraphrased.

To paraphrase:

  • Alter the wording of the passage without changing its meaning. Key words, such as names and field terminology, may stay the same (i.e. you do not need to rename Milwaukee or osteoporosis), but all other words must be rephrased. 
  • Retain the basic logic of the argument, sequence of ideas, and examples used in the passage. 
  • Accurately convey the author's meaning and opinion. 
  • Keep the length approximately the same as the original passage. 
  • Do not forget to cite where the information came from. Even though it is in your own words, the idea belongs to someone else, and that source must be acknowledged. 

A summary covers the main points of the writer’s argument in your own words. Summaries are generally much shorter than the original source, since they do not contain any specific examples or pieces of evidence. The goal of a summary is to give the reader a clear idea of what the source is arguing, without going into any specifics about what they are using to argue their point.

To summarize:  

  • Identify what reading or speech is being summarized. 
  • State the author’s thesis and main claims of their argument in your own words. Just like paraphrasing, make sure everything but key terms is reworded. 
  • Avoid specific details or examples. 
  • Avoid your personal opinions about the topic. 
  • Include the conclusion of the original material. 
  • Cite summarized information as well. 

In both the paraphrase and summary, the author's meaning and opinion are retained. However, in the case of the summary, examples and illustrations are omitted. Summaries can be tremendously helpful because they can be used to encapsulate everything from a long narrative passage of an essay, to a chapter in a book, to an entire book.

This resource discusses how to paraphrase correctly and accurately.

Directions: On a separate piece of paper, write a paraphrase of each of the following passages. Try not to look back at the original passage.

1. "The Antarctic is the vast source of cold on our planet, just as the sun is the source of our heat, and it exerts tremendous control on our climate," [Jacques] Cousteau told the camera. "The cold ocean water around Antarctica flows north to mix with warmer water from the tropics, and its upwellings help to cool both the surface water and our atmosphere. Yet the fragility of this regulating system is now threatened by human activity." From "Captain Cousteau," Audubon (May 1990):17.

2. The twenties were the years when drinking was against the law, and the law was a bad joke because everyone knew of a local bar where liquor could be had. They were the years when organized crime ruled the cities, and the police seemed powerless to do anything against it. Classical music was forgotten while jazz spread throughout the land, and men like Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie became the heroes of the young. The flapper was born in the twenties, and with her bobbed hair and short skirts, she symbolized, perhaps more than anyone or anything else, America's break with the past. From Kathleen Yancey, English 102 Supplemental Guide (1989): 25.

3. Of the more than 1000 bicycling deaths each year, three-fourths are caused by head injuries. Half of those killed are school-age children. One study concluded that wearing a bike helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85 percent. In an accident, a bike helmet absorbs the shock and cushions the head. From "Bike Helmets: Unused Lifesavers," Consumer Reports (May 1990): 348.

4. Matisse is the best painter ever at putting the viewer at the scene. He's the most realistic of all modern artists, if you admit the feel of the breeze as necessary to a landscape and the smell of oranges as essential to a still life. "The Casbah Gate" depicts the well-known gateway Bab el Aassa, which pierces the southern wall of the city near the sultan's palace. With scrubby coats of ivory, aqua, blue, and rose delicately fenced by the liveliest gray outline in art history, Matisse gets the essence of a Tangier afternoon, including the subtle presence of the bowaab, the sentry who sits and surveys those who pass through the gate. From Peter Plagens, "Bright Lights." Newsweek (26 March 1990): 50.

5. While the Sears Tower is arguably the greatest achievement in skyscraper engineering so far, it's unlikely that architects and engineers have abandoned the quest for the world's tallest building. The question is: Just how high can a building go? Structural engineer William LeMessurier has designed a skyscraper nearly one-half mile high, twice as tall as the Sears Tower. And architect Robert Sobel claims that existing technology could produce a 500-story building. From Ron Bachman, "Reaching for the Sky." Dial (May 1990): 15.

Why Use Paraphrasing Tools

If you’ve never used a paraphrasing tool, the purpose is simple – rephrase, condense, and find alternative words. Whether it’s research papers, social media posts, blog posts, or anything else, these tools help with the following:

  • Avoiding plagiarism : when you’re researching information online, you may not mean to write it exactly like the source material, but it does happen sometimes. Paraphrasing tools help detect possible plagiarism and reword content to avoid it.
  • Improve overall wording : do you keep using the same words or just want to spice up your text a bit? By paraphrasing your current text, you can avoid repetitive text and make everything flow better.
  • Create multiple versions of the same text : if you’re trying to avoid Google penalizing you for duplicate content, you can paraphrase the same content multiple times to ensure unique content on each blog or website you’re posting to.
  • Reduce word count : often, paraphrasing tools cut out superfluous words to reduce your word count. This is ideal if you’ve gotten wordy and need to quickly pare things down.
  • Improve your writing skills : seeing how these tools rewrite your content may also help boost your own writing skills thanks to synonyms, better phrasing, and more efficient copywriting.

Best Online Paraphrasing Tools You Need To Try Why

Price: Free (ad-supported)

SpinBot is one of the best, free online paraphrasing tools. It has two versions: Text Spinner and Paraphrasing Tool. While each works similarly, you can reduce or increase the word count using the Paraphrasing Tool. Unlike many available tools, Spinbot is completely free and handles up to 10,000 characters or approximately 1,000 words at a time.

Before you use the tool, turn off any ad-blockers, as they interfere with it, then copy the text you want to paraphrase and paste it into the field provided. I used the Paraphrasing Tool for this example.

Best Online Paraphrasing Tools You Need To Try Spinbot

Once you’ve pasted your text, choose whether to ignore capitalized words, such as proper names and any specific keywords (ideal if you’re writing SEO content). Then click “Basic Paraphrase” for a simple paraphrased version.

Use the slider at the top to increase or reduce the word count. If you want an even better version of your content, click “Advanced Paraphrase.”

  • Multiple paraphrasing modes: Standard, Fluency, Expand, Shorten, Formal, Simple, and Creative

  • Add freeze words and phrases (things you don’t want to change)
  • Content summarizer to see just the main points
  • Improved grammar writer
  • Plagiarism detector

Best Online Paraphrasing Tools You Need To Try Quillbot

The free version is limited to 125 words, one freeze word, Standard and Fluency modes, and 1,200 words in the summarizer. The premium version gives you unlimited words, 6,000 words in the summarizer, all modes, faster processing speeds, a plagiarism checker, and advanced grammar rewrites.

The premium features make it a worthwhile investment if you plan to paraphrase content often or just summarize content to make it easier to do research.

Wordtune offers more than just a website to paraphrase content. You can also download it as a Chrome extension and use it directly on your favorite sites, such as Gmail, Slack, LinkedIn, and Facebook. The free version is extremely limited, usually only handling one or two sentences or up to 280 characters, but it’ll give you a simple rewrite. You only get ten rewrites per day. For social media posts or a sentence you can’t get quite right, free is more than enough.

Best Online Paraphrasing Tools You Need To Try Wordtune

You’ll want the Premium version to really get the most out of Wordtune. It allows you to paraphrase unlimited words and choose between a casual and formal tone. Easily expand or condense your content based on your needs. If you’re using this for business purposes, you can request custom pricing for your entire team.

What’s nice is that the tool offers multiple versions of the same content at one time, which is ideal for creating multiple rewrites simultaneously.

Price: Free

Paraphrase Online is one of the simpler online paraphrasing tools. You don’t really have any extra features to play around with. The only real thing you can do beside paraphrasing your content is click words to see synonyms: hover your mouse over the content to see which words you can click on.

While it doesn’t give the most perfect rewritten content, there don’t seem to be any daily limits. However, in testing, pasted content cut off at approximately 1,000 characters. To do more, paste your content in chunks.

SEO Wagon is actually a collection of numerous SEO tools, such as an article rewriter, a plagiarism detector, backlink checker, page rank checker, and a keyword density checker. For the purposes of paraphrasing, you’ll want to use the Article Rewriter tool.

Best Online Paraphrasing Tools You Need To Try Seo Wagon

Everything on the site is free to use, though the site is ad-supported. The great news is that you can paraphrase anything from a sentence to a full blog post or article, though the longer your content is, the longer it takes the tool to process it. For instance, a 1,000-word article took around five minutes to complete, while a paragraph took around 30 seconds. All changes are presented in various colors to make them easy to review.

There is one drawback to this tool, though: If you try to spin the same text more than once, it’ll be flagged as spam, and you won’t get a new version.

The aptly named Paraphrasing Tool is one of the best free online paraphrasing tools available. It analyzes every word to create the best-sounding version of the original text. It uses AI and the NLP (neurolinguistic programming) technique to create more realistic-sounding variations.

Best Online Paraphrasing Tools You Need To Try Paraphrasing Tool

In tests, the content actually flowed better than other free tools and was comparable with premium tools. Of course, you are limited to 10,000 characters at a time, but there’s nothing to sign up for, and the tool works quickly, which is always a plus. If you have more than 10,000 characters, just enter your text 10,000 characters at a time.

Price: Free | Premium starting at $12/month

Grammarly doesn’t work quite like other paraphrasing tools. Instead, it’s more like having a grammar teacher standing over your shoulder, correcting you as you write. The free version simply provides you with suggestions to improve conciseness, helps you determine the tone of the content, and eliminates spelling and grammatical errors. You will need to sign up for a free account to use it.

Best Online Paraphrasing Tools You Need To Try Grammarly

To get the most from Grammarly, you’ll want to upgrade to the Premium plan, which adds full-sentence rewrites, tone suggestions (to change the tone if needed), and word choices.

Paraphrasing.io is as simple as it gets. No sign-ups; just paste your text and paraphrase it. Surprisingly, this free tool lets you choose the tone of your rewritten content. Switch between regular, formal, creative, and academic. Formal is set by default, but it’s easy to change it. There’s even a plagiarism detector and summary tool.

Best Online Paraphrasing Tools You Need To Try Paraphrasingio

You’re limited to 500 characters at a time, so it’s best for sentences and short paragraphs. You can either copy your text into the editor or upload a TXT, DOC, or DOCX file directly. The only downside is that it’s ad-supported, and the “Paraphrasing” button is placed below a banner ad under the editor.

Price: $9.90/month or $85/year, three-day free trial available

CleverSpinner doesn’t offer a free version, and you’ll need a credit card to sign up for the three-day free trial. However, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee. The tool is designed to not only pick synonyms but analyze the context of the content to ensure the new version flows just like a human wrote it.

Price: Free | Multiple premium plans starting at $10/month

Dupli Checker is one of the more generous free online paraphrasing tools. Easily get rewritten versions of up to 2,000 words (not characters, unlike most other tools) at a time. The site is heavy on ads, which may turn many users off.

Best Online Paraphrasing Tools You Need To Try Duplichecker

Dupli Checker has a variety of tools available for text analysis, SEO research, image editing, and more, but you’ll be most interested in the Paraphrasing Tool. While there are no usage limits on the free tool, premium plans give you more words at once along with larger plagiarism checks. The $10/month plan lets you rewrite up to 30,000 words at a time.

Plagiarism Detector is first and foremost about preventing plagiarized content, but there’s also a paraphrasing tool and grammar checker. The free version of the paraphrasing tool lets you rewrite anywhere between 50 to 2,000 words at a time. In my testing, it didn’t paraphrase as much of the content as other tools, only rewriting around 25% versus the 50% to 90% that others did.

Best Online Paraphrasing Tools You Need To Try Plagiarism Detector

However, it’s a good option to quickly rephrase a sentence or short paragraph, especially if you’re struggling to find the right word or synonym. If you want to work with more text at a time, upgrade to get 72,000 words a month and 240 plagiarism detection searches. For most users, the free version is sufficient.

Price: Free | Premium plans starting at $57/month, $107/year, or $307/lifetime

SpinnerChief is one of the more advanced online paraphrasing tools. The free version lets you create basic spun (rewritten) text of up to 150 words at a time. You’re limited to 20 spins or rewrites per day. However, for individual sentences or short paragraphs, it works incredibly well and shows you both structural and word changes.

Best Online Paraphrasing Tools You Need To Try Spinner Chief

The premium versions give you unlimited usage, more advanced paraphrasing, more synonyms, batch spinning, grammar checks, and much more. You can test drive the premium version for three days for $7. There is also special pricing for teams, and the lifetime license is a good deal.

SpinRewriter uses ENL (emulated natural language) to quickly paraphrase any text. There’s a five-day free trial available if you sign up for the yearly plan. You can cancel as soon as you test it out. The tool is designed for users who need to rewrite the same article numerous times, such as marketers or bloggers posting similar content on multiple sites.

Best Online Paraphrasing Tools You Need To Try Spinrewriter

When rewriting content, you can upload your own or even search Google for content using keywords. Then, select your settings, such as rewriting just sentences or entire paragraphs. You can create up to 1,000 versions of the same article. While SpinRewriter is pricey, it can be an invaluable tool for bulk paraphrasing.

Price: Free | Premium starting at $50/year

PrePostSEO offers paraphrasing for free. Use it as often as you would like. I was able to rewrite a 1,000-word article for free. Easily copy and paste content or upload documents. You can also choose from Simple, Advanced, Creative, and Fluency paraphrasing modes along with excluding specific words, such as keywords.

Best Online Paraphrasing Tools You Need To Try Prepost

If you want to rewrite larger articles, you’ll want to upgrade. The basic plan starts at $50/year, lets you check 5,000 words at once, and also gets rid of ads and those annoying captchas.

PrePostSEO also offers a plagiarism checker and summarizer. Just like with the paraphrasing tool, you can upgrade word count limits in the premium plans.

Are paraphrasing tools ethical?

While plagiarizing content is never ethical, paraphrasing tools create new versions of existing content. Some people use it to copy articles, essays, and research papers online to create their own without having to do any extra work. This is kind of a gray area, but the most ethical use of these tools is to revise content you’ve written yourself. Whether you just want it to sound better or you need a second version, you’re still working with content you created and not someone else’s.

If you’re trying to copy content from another site to summarize or paraphrase but the site won’t let you, try these methods instead.

Is paraphrased content plagiarism-free?

Not always. While most tools promise mostly plagiarism-free content, you should always verify whether the new content is unique or not. You can even use the plagiarism checkers offered by many of the tools above.

If you’re manually trying to paraphrase your content, try these difference checker tools to see how much the content has been changed.

Are there any paraphrasing mobile apps?

While there are some apps, most are poorly rated and cumbersome to use. It’s usually easier to use the websites above and download the text to your mobile device.

About Paraphrase Tool

Getting your wording just right.

Paraphrasing is a natural part of the writing process as it helps you clarify your thinking and suit your words to your audience. Using a Paraphrase Tool helps structure and streamline this work, and our paraphrase tool offers 20 modes, many of them free, for accomplishing just this. The 20 modes we offer are diverse, including a summarize tool, a free grammar checker, a mode to simplify text, and a sentence shortener. There are sentence rephrasers and paraphrase rephrase tools, and we pride ourselves on having both, since our reword generator accounts for context at both the sentence and paragraph levels.

When you google paraphrase you will get a variety of results, from a free Paraphrase Tool , to an article spinner, to a general phrase tool, and it can be hard to determine which of these rephrase tools will best help you complete your work. If you simply need to get a word rephrase, that is, reword only small elements within the sentence, many tools will suffice, but there is the risk that you end up with a tool that does not consider context and produces very awkward and ungrammatical sentences. Rephrasing is very much an art, and we’ve built our paraphrase bot to produce the most correct results in 20 modes in over 100 languages, making it the best paraphrasing tool at an exceptionally low cost. So whether you need to paraphrase deutsch, paraphrase greek, or paraphrase bahasa melayu, the next time you think, I need something to paraphrase this for me, you’ll know where to turn.

From keywords to paragraphs

Generating paragraphs with unique ideas can be challenging, and too often writers get stuck at this stage of the writing process. With our paragraph tool, you can enter keywords and let our AI generate paragraphs for you, so that you can have something to work with, refine the output, and become more engaged in your writing.

A paragraph generator creates links between your ideas, such that the output is sensible, unique, and stimulating, very close to what you would expect a thoughtful human paragraph writer to produce.

Paragraph makers are nice, but what about a short story generator? Because our AI is generalized, it serves a story generator, an essay generator, a poem generator, and much more. To generate compelling stories, you should provide the story generator with useful keywords from which it can develop plot elements, including characters, setting details, and any situational information. To generate reasonably good essays, you should likewise provide the essay maker with details around argumentative positions and any other pertinent ideas. If you more specifically want an introduction paragraph generator or conclusion paragraph generator, you can provide starter text and keywords that will best enable our essay creator to produce them.

You may well ask, “is this essay generator free?” Everything on this site is free within a 3-day trial, so you can test and develop confidence in our products. You may also be wondering where this is an essay automatic writer or if it will take a while to get results. All results appear within a matter of seconds, so you can move through your work as quickly as possible.

You may have professional needs for creating paragraphs as well, such as those needed for cover letter. Most of the time a cover letter template includes information that is not relevant to you; by using your own keywords, we can produce cover letter examples that are relevant to your use case and often require very little editing. By using this service, you can also learn how to write a cover letter and achieve the cover letter format you need.

Plagiarism checker free

Like everything else on our site, you can check plagiarism free within a trial, which is a great opportunity for those who want to check a paper for plagiarism without committing to paying before they see results. This free plagiarism checker is great for students and clearly indicates how to check for plagiarism by highlighting areas of similarity between the two texts. Just to be sure you are not accidentally plagiarizing, be sure to check all of your paraphrases as well.
