The four modes
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| Standard | New words and sentence structure, same tone and length |
| Fluent | Smooths awkward phrasing so the text reads well |
| Shorter | Cuts repetition so the text is about a third shorter |
| Creative | Fresher, more vivid wording with varied structure |
Worked example
Original: “The government has announced that it will increase the budget for education in the next financial year.”
Standard: “Next financial year, the government plans to spend more on education, it has announced.”
Shorter: “The government will raise next year’s education budget.”
Paraphrasing and plagiarism
Changing the words does not make an idea yours. If you paraphrase a source in an assignment, you still need to cite it. Use the tool to understand a passage, to find a clearer way to say your own idea, or to avoid repeating yourself. Check the result with the grammar checker, or shorten long passages first with the text summarizer.
