A paraphrasing tool allows you to write and re-write sentences that are typically long and complex into something simpler and easy to understand.
You can also use such a tool to speed up writing for things like your meta description for your blog posts, a YouTube video description or even sales copy.
Your writing will need your touch to make it you as AI tools can’t quite write the way you write with your personality, but it’s getting close.
#1 Claude AI
Claude AI is a powerful writing assistant that uses AI to help you create blog posts through prompts, rewriting content, and paraphrasing sentences.
A paraphrasing tool can help you write blog posts faster
To blog like a brand means hiring writers to create content. You can’t do everything yourself (you can see in the beginning) long term as you don’t have enough time and energy to compete against a team of writers.
So a paraphrasing tool is a good stop-gap until you’re ready to hire a professional writer to help you create helpful blog posts.
How do paraphrasing tools work exactly?
The best paraphrasing tools work by rewriting and restructuring your sentences more meaningfully and uniquely. The worst tools are nothing more than content spinners that switch out a few verbs or adjectives. But now, with the development of AI, you can use a paraphrasing tool to create content much faster.
So what are some of the best paraphrasing tools for bloggers currently available? In this review, we will look at all free and paid options as well as their pros and cons.
For my test, we will be using the following paragraph in each paraphrasing tool:
Self described nerd turned entrepreneur and professional blogger Steve Kamb, founder of Nerd Fitness, is best known for promoting health and wellness in a creative and appealing way to create change for his rag-tag group of misfits.
I love the way Claude rewrites anything. You do need to edit it to make it into your style, but the output it creates is good enough to use without any editing.
Outstanding output.
The output will depend on the command you give it, but even using a simple “rewrite” or “paraphrase” command will be enough to get a high-quality output.
Open AI’s ChatGPT can answer questions, write books, argue a point, write code, summarize books, and more. It works based on the prompts you enter, and one such prompt I like to use for blogging is the “rewrite” prompt.
Let’s take a look and see how ChatGPT performed:
Excellent overall.
With the rewrite prompt you can also expand on it and add commands as needed. “Rewrite as a blog post” or “rewrite using long sophisticated sentences.”
Compared to Claude however, it’s not quite as good though.
Jasper AI is a marketing focused AI tool. It’s best use case is for using it to write sales copy, product descriptions, paraphrase content and more.
The advantage of this tool over a free generative AI tool are the built-in frameworks for creating copy and no limits on content creation if you have a paid subscription.
So let’s take a look to see how it performed with the test paragraph:
Overall very good. As Jasper is strictly a paid tool, if all you’re looking to do is rewrite content then I would stick to Claude or ChatGPT.
4. Quillbot – The best free writing assistant for bloggers
Quillbot offers a free version and a paid version of its paraphrasing tool. What it does is that it simply swaps out adjectives and verbs, or it takes away or adds words to form new sentences.
Let’s take our paragraph and see how Quillbot performs:
Quillbot did an adequate job of paraphrasing and rewriting our original sentence. I reordered some sentences from passive voice to active voice while swapping out adjectives like “ragtag” for “motley crew.” Overall for a free tool, Quillbot came through.
Grammarly is a free spell checker, but they offer a “premium” plan that now provides sentence rewrites. While not as robust as Jasper AI or ChatGPT in the sense you can command Grammarly to change sentences, it does provide new sentence rewrites for “clarity” to improve your writing.
While not a paraphrasing tool, it incorporates paraphrasing features to improve your writing. The only issue is you need help to command it to write. Take a look below:
I run Grammarly on all the blog posts here on DavidUtke.com, and this sentence rewrite was suggested. It will change the sentence structure automatically at the click of a button and delete words as needed.
Gemini is Google’s answer to ChatGPT. What sets it apart is that it has access to all the data the Google has and is typically more up to date on information.
So how well does the rewrite, paraphrase tool prompt work? Let’s find out:
Short, sweet and too the point. Well done Gemini.
While I prefer Claude for any sort of writing, Gemini comes in at a strong second place and ChatGPT tends to have it’s own AI writing style that still requires you to edit it.
The best paraphrasing tools for bloggers
Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are here to stay and are only getting better. I would typically stick to a generative AI to rewrite and paraphrase anything.
Grammarly is also a useful tool if you’re an authentic writer and want to have helpful suggests to rewrite and paraphrase your content to make it more readable.
