Modes

21 paraphrasing modes, explained

Pick a writing style for everyday rewriting, or a language standard when the text has to meet a specific readability or controlled-language rule. Every mode works with the Light and Hard strength levels, keeps your facts and numbers, and answers in the language of your text. National plain-language and easy-to-read standards appear for the language they were written for, and the standards built on English word lists (Oxford 3000, Basic English, Globish and the Academic Word List) work with English text only.

Writing styles

Standard

Rewrites wording and phrasing while keeping your meaning, tone and length. Use it for everyday paraphrasing of essays, articles and emails.

Fluent

Fixes clumsy or repetitive phrasing and adds natural transitions, like an edit by a native writer. Good for non-native writers and rough drafts.

Formal

Raises the register: no slang or casual expressions, and precise, polite vocabulary. Use it for business letters, reports and official requests.

Academic

Produces an objective, impersonal scholarly tone with hedged claims and formal linking words. Suited to essays, theses and research summaries; remember to cite your sources.

Simple

Replaces long or abstract words with everyday ones and splits long sentences, so that a reader aged about 11 to 14 can follow the text. Useful for broad audiences, instructions and web copy.

Creative

Adds fresh imagery, strong verbs and varied rhythm while keeping every fact and number. Use it for blog posts, social media and storytelling.

Shorten

Cuts roughly 30–50% of the words by removing filler and repetition, but keeps every key point. Handy for abstracts, character limits and social posts.

Expand

Makes the text about 30–60% longer with clarifying detail and explanation, without inventing new facts. Useful when a draft is too thin or has to reach a word count.

Language standards

ISO 24495-1 plain language

Follows ISO 24495-1:2023, the international plain-language standard: readers must be able to find what they need, understand it and use it. Key information comes first, sentences are short and active, and necessary terms are explained. Suited to government, legal, financial and customer communication.

Source

Easy-to-Read (ISO/IEC 23859)

Follows ISO/IEC 23859:2023, the international standard for making written text easy to read and understand, together with the Inclusion Europe "Information for all" rules. Every sentence carries one idea, difficult words are explained, numbers are made concrete and each sentence starts on a new line. It works in every language and suits people with learning or reading difficulties, older readers and beginners in a language.

Source

CEFR A2–B1

Rewrites the text at the A2–B1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: high-frequency vocabulary, sentences of about 8–15 words, simple tenses and connectors, no idioms. It works in any language and suits language learners, newcomers and international audiences.

Source

CDC Clear Communication Index

Applies the CDC Clear Communication Index used by U.S. public-health communicators: the main message first, a clear action only when the source implies one, numbers explained in plain words and everyday vocabulary. Good for health information, safety notices and public announcements.

Source

ASD-STE100

ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English is the controlled language of aerospace and industrial documentation. The rewrite keeps instructions to 20 words and descriptions to 25, gives one instruction per sentence in the imperative and active voice, and uses simple tenses, no -ing verb forms and one meaning per word. Use it for manuals, maintenance procedures and safety instructions.

Source

Attempto Controlled English

Attempto Controlled English, developed at the University of Zurich, reads like normal English but can be translated into logic. Each sentence states one fact or rule with explicit nouns and "if… then", "every" or "no" patterns. Use it for requirements, specifications, business rules and policies.

Source

UX writing

Turns text into interface copy following UX writing practice: concise, scannable sentences that put the key word first, address the user as "you" and say what happens next. Use it for buttons, onboarding, error messages, notifications and help text.

Amazon-style narrative

Rewrites the text as a narrative memo in the style Amazon uses instead of slides: full paragraphs, the conclusion first, data instead of adjectives and no weasel words such as "significantly" or "nearly all". Use it for proposals, project updates and decision documents.

Oxford 3000

English text only

Keeps the vocabulary within the Oxford 3000, the core English words that learners from A1 to B2 should know. Rare words give way to common synonyms, so the text stays natural yet accessible to intermediate learners.

Source

Basic English (Ogden)

English text only

Charles Kay Ogden's Basic English limits English to 850 words and 18 operator verbs such as get, give, make and put, so "enter" becomes "go into". The result is very plain English that beginners and machine translation handle well.

Globish & VOA English

English text only

Combines Jean-Paul Nerrière's Globish and VOA Special English (now VOA Learning English): two 1,500-word versions of English for international readers and learners. Sentences stay short and active, mostly in the simple present and past, without idioms, jokes or cultural references, so non-native readers understand them at once.

Source

Academic Word List

English text only

Builds an academic register from Averil Coxhead's Academic Word List: 570 word families such as analyse, concept, establish and significant that appear across university disciplines. Useful for essays, papers and English for academic purposes.

Easy and plain language standards by language

Many countries have their own rules for plain language (clear texts for the general public) and easy-to-read language (texts for people with reading or learning difficulties). NeuralWriter has a dedicated mode for each national standard in the table; it appears when your text is in that language. For every other language, the international standards ISO 24495-1 (plain language) and ISO/IEC 23859 (easy-to-read) apply.

Plain language and easy-to-read English

Federal Plain Language Guidelines

In the United States, the Plain Writing Act of 2010 requires federal agencies to write documents for the public in plain language. The Federal Plain Language Guidelines, written by the Plain Language Action and Information Network (PLAIN), were the official tool for applying the Act and influenced the ISO 24495-1 plain language standard. The NeuralWriter mode follows them: the reader first, "you" and the active voice, short sentences, "must" instead of "shall", and no hidden verbs or legalese. For easy-to-read English, use the Easy-to-Read (ISO/IEC 23859) mode.

Overview

Why should you choose our Paraphrasing Tool?

People often call this kind of rewriter a synonymizer, yet the two are not the same. Word spinners and basic synonym tools swap one word for another and leave the sentence broken. Our AI reads the whole paragraph and rebuilds each sentence, so the result stays clear, keeps your meaning and reads naturally.
Pick one of 8 writing styles, from Standard and Fluent to Academic, Formal, Creative or Shorten, or a language standard such as plain language (ISO 24495-1), Easy-to-Read or CEFR, then set the rewrite strength to Light or Hard. A built-in diff view highlights every word we replaced, so you can see exactly what changed. The paraphraser is free, with no sign-up and no daily limit, in 30 languages.

Background

When is paraphrasing most useful?

Paraphrasing is rewording a text so the wording differs while the meaning holds. You keep the idea and express it in your own sentences. Students lean on it to restate sources without copying them. Writers use it to tighten drafts, vary repeated phrasing or adjust tone for a new audience. For content and SEO work, rephrasing turns one draft into several fresh versions. Each pass produces a copy that matches the source in meaning yet differs in structure and word choice.
01

Rewrites sentences, not just words

The tool does more than trade words for synonyms. It restructures full sentences and reworks phrasing, so the output reads like a fresh draft rather than a patched version of your input.
02

Output reads like human writing

The rewrite is hard to tell apart from text a person wrote. The AI reshapes each sentence into natural prose that reads like human writing and lowers plagiarism risk.
03

AI engine built for rewriting

This is not a simple article spinner. The paraphraser runs on a modern language model that handles dense, technical or long-form text and rewrites it without breaking the logic.
04

Your meaning stays intact

Choose how far the rewrite goes with the Light or Hard strength. The AI preserves the intent of every paragraph and can sharpen weak phrasing while it reshapes the wording.
05

Works in 30 languages

Rewrite text and sentences in 30 languages, from English and Spanish to Chinese and Japanese. The reworder adapts grammar and idiom to each language instead of translating word for word.
FAQ

Questions, answered

A paraphrasing tool rewrites text so the words and sentence structure differ from the source while the meaning stays the same. Ours uses AI to reword whole sentences, not just single words.

Yes. The tool rewrites full sentences and returns a version that matches your source in meaning but uses different words and phrasing. The diff view shows every change so you can confirm the result before you use it.

Yes. NeuralWriter is free, with no sign-up and no daily limit. You get all 8 writing styles, the language standards and both strength levels: Light, and Hard, which on a computer needs our free Chrome extension. Each run takes up to 10,000 characters, about 1,500 words.

There are 8 writing styles (Standard, Fluent, Formal, Academic, Simple, Creative, Shorten and Expand) and language standards for specific readers: plain language (ISO 24495-1), Easy-to-Read (ISO/IEC 23859), CEFR A2–B1, the CDC Clear Communication Index, ASD-STE100, Attempto Controlled English, UX writing and an Amazon-style narrative. Texts in German, French, Spanish, Japanese and other languages also get their national standard, such as Leichte Sprache, FALC, Lectura Fácil or やさしい日本語.

No. Paraphrasing is legal. You are not copying the exact text, you are restating the meaning in your own words. Cite the original source when the context calls for it.

Tools that only swap words for synonyms often still read as plagiarized. NeuralWriter rewrites entire phrases and sentence structure, which lowers the chance of a plagiarism match. The uniqueness score shows how far the output moved from your input.

They might. Paraphrasing changes the wording and sentence structure, which often lowers AI-detection scores, but no paraphraser can guarantee that a text passes every detector: tools such as Originality.ai, Turnitin or GPTZero use different methods and often disagree. Check the result with our free AI Content Detector, which runs several detectors at once, and rework the passages it flags. For school or work, follow your institution's rules on AI tools.

Not by itself. Rewording your own text, or restating a source in your own words and citing it, is normal writing practice. It becomes plagiarism when you present someone else's ideas as your own, even in new words. Always cite the original source and check whether your school or employer allows AI writing tools.

NeuralWriter rewords text for free. Paste your text, pick a mode and strength, then click Paraphrase now to get a rephrased version with a diff view of every change.

Yes. Paste your text into NeuralWriter and click Paraphrase now. You get the finished paraphrase, a highlighted view of every replaced word and a one-click copy button. Use Rephrase again for a different variation.

A synonymizer replaces individual words with their synonyms and leaves the sentence structure in place.
Paraphrasing rewords the whole sentence, changing structure and phrasing while keeping the meaning. That is why a paraphraser produces a more natural, more unique result than a synonym swap.
