Changelog

Some words have to survive a rewrite untouched: a brand, a product name, a legal term, a quote. Now you can tell the paraphraser which ones.

• New Don't change field under the text: type a word or phrase and press Enter, up to 20 per text
• Suggestions from your own text (acronyms, brand names like iPhone, quoted phrases, names in the middle of a sentence), added with one click
• Locked phrases keep their exact spelling, capitalization and form. The sentence is rebuilt around them, so it stays grammatical even in languages with cases and genders
• If a locked phrase still goes missing in the result, the text is rewritten again before you see it
• Formatting survives the rewrite: Markdown headings, bold text, lists and tables, HTML tags, links, inline code and citations such as (Smith, 2020) or [1] come back exactly where they were
• Texts sent to the writing tools are deleted automatically within 24 hours. The Privacy Policy now says so explicitly

Until now you could only choose how hard the paraphraser rewrites. Now you also choose what the text should sound like, and who it is for.

• 8 styles: Standard, Fluent, Formal, Academic, Simple, Creative, Shorten (30–50% fewer words) and Expand (30–60% longer)
• 12 language standards for writing that has to follow a rule, not a taste: ISO 24495-1 plain language, Easy-to-Read (ISO/IEC 23859), CEFR A2–B1, the CDC Clear Communication Index, ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, Attempto Controlled English, UX writing, Amazon-style narrative, and four English word lists (Oxford 3000, Ogden's Basic English, Globish and the Academic Word List)
• National standards appear when your text is in their language: Leichte Sprache and Einfache Sprache for German, Lectura Fácil, FALC, Klarspråk, Selkokieli, やさしい日本語 and others, 17 in total
• Strength stays a separate choice: Light keeps your sentence order and voice, Hard rewrites thoroughly
• Rephrase again gives you another version of the same text in one click
• Check with AI detector opens the AI Detector with your result and starts the check right away
• A guide on the page explains every style and standard and links to the official documents

We rebuilt neuralwriter.com from scratch. Every tool kept its address, so your bookmarks and links still work.

• Every text is checked by six detectors at once: QuillBot, ZeroGPT, Originality.ai, Copyleaks, Grammarly and Ahrefs
• Sentence highlights show which parts were flagged as AI, using the per-sentence data from Originality.ai, QuillBot and Grammarly
• Each result appears as soon as its engine finishes, so one slow detector doesn't hold back the rest
• When an engine doesn't support the language of your text (Originality.ai reads English only), its card says so instead of showing a score it can't stand behind

• Image Upscaler has two modes: Instant enlarges the image right in your browser, so the file never leaves your device, and AI redraws the details before scaling to the size you pick
