The best article rewriting software on earth: and it is free!!

by Eklavya on September 3, 2007

The other day I got an email from an internet marketer wherein he recommended about a new article rewriting software. This software was targeted towards those who wants to create content for their website but don’t have the time for writing the new stuff. This software helps them in rewriting an existing article so that it appears unique and get a good ranking in Google. What this particular software does is to give suggestions (by providing synonyms or similar phrase) for every word mentioned in the article so that necessary changes can be made in it. After changing most words of the articles with appropriate similar words, you can get a brand new article.

After the advent of Adsense program from Google, the creation of original content (mainly in the form of articles) has become quite a rage. Since Google is becoming more and more sensitive (and technologically capable) to identify the duplicate content from the original one, the earlier practice of using articles from Article Directories (such as Ezine Articles) as fresh contents for our website is losing it’s effectiveness. If you republish an article in your website there is every possibility that this article will be entered into the supplemental index of Google (which is a less important Google index considered different from main index) and you’lll not get any benefit from it.

The solution of this problem proposed by some clever internet marketers is to use the rewritten version of the article instead of the original one. The strategy lies in rewriting the article with the help of other similar words such as synonyms etc. This way the article become a new one and unique. This increases its possibility of being considered as a fresh & unique article that can get a higher ranking in Google.

In order to save time, many people have invented softwares for rewriting the entire article automatically. It is claimed that you only need to point and click and you’ll instantly get a new article. Some softwares also claimed to be able to create hundred different clones of a single article just by the click of a button. It was also claimed that many people are using these softwares with amazing results.

As I read all this stuff about article rewriting softwares, I decided to try my hand with some of them. I was hoping to get the magical wand that will help my problem of content creation by rewriting thousands of articles that lies dormant in the hard disk of my computer.

Alas ! How wrong I was. My search for the perfect software that can rewrite the articles lead me to a disappointing conclusion. I found that all these Softwares (particularly those recommended by so called Internet Gurus) are a pure waste of time and money.

There are two types of Article Rewriting Softwares in the market. First are those that provide a list of synonyms and similar phrases for the exact words/phrases used in the article. However, as you use them, you’ll find that to choose the synonyms for every single word and to make it as meaningful as the original sentence was, is a very time consuming exercise.

For example see this screenshot. The software used is Wordflood”


wordflood2.jpg

Though it is nice to have a readymade list of all the similar words of a particular sentence in an article, is it really the way to rewrite an article? Can we have a perfect rewrite of an article if we just replace the words use in it with their synonyms? There can be only one answer of this question – No. In most of the cases, if you change the words with their synonyms, you will not only change the body of the article but also distort its soul. The whole article will lose it’s meaning. So in all likelihood you’ll have to use your brain to make the article meaningful and unique.

The second types of Article rewriting softwares are those which provide a point & click” interface. You load an article in the software and just by clicking a button; you’ll get a brand new article. No need to select the synonyms or similar phrase. The software does the entire work for you. This type of softwares, though are very fast, have some serious disadvantages. The most glaring one is their tendency to completely distort the meaning of the sentences used in the article and render it ineffective. Just see these two paragraphs generated by one such software Contentwrite Pro which is selling for a price of $97.

This was the original paragraph :

“Many dental insurance companies offer deductibles that can be decided upon. If you can afford to have a higher deductible, you may find that it then becomes more affordable dental insurance. This is one way that you can lower your rates.”

Now after using that software, here is the resultant rewritten paragraph .The words in bold are new replacement made by the software.

“Many dental insurance companies agreement deductibles that can be absolute upon. If you can present to have a senior deductible, you may find that it then becomes more affordable dental insurance. This is one way that you can worse your rates.”

Now tell me would you like to have such a meaningless stuff on your website ? The phrase lower your rate” has completely lost its meaning when we replace it with worse your rates”.

The second big disadvantage of using such point & click” software is that they can not create a really unique article despite their big claims. If you use an entirely automatic software( the one where you load an article, click a button and get a new rewritten article), there is every possibility that this resultant article will also be considered a duplicate one by Google because just like you other persons (using the same software ) may have also created the same resultant article and used it on their websites. There is every possibility of this because free to use articles are available for everybody to use. In other words your precious software will be of no use to you.

 

Apart from other two reasons, rewriting an existing article is itself a grey area. You are using somebody else idea and giving it your name by tinkering with some words and paragraphs. Read this interesting discussion on digital point on this issue. Secondly, often the resultant product is a crap, with no soul in it.

So what is the solution? Let me tell you what it is.

There is a software which is the most powerful article rewriter on earth. It’ll create the most powerful, accurate and unique rewrite of any article without distorting its soul. Do you know what it is ?

It is your brain.

A human brain’s probable processing power is around 100 teraflops, roughly 100 trillion calculations per second. This is based on factoring the capability of the brain’s 100 billion neurons, each with over 1,000 connections to other neurons, with each connection capable of performing about 200 calculations per second. See source

For the first time, researchers have calculated that the power of a single brain in terms of memory capacity and discovered that it is greater than all the computers ever made. While even the biggest computer has a capacity of around 10,000,000,000,000 bytes (10 to the power of 12), the human brain has a colossal 10 followed by 8,432 noughts, say the scientists who made the calculations in the journal Brain and Mind. Visit source


If you want to rewrite an article without losing its soul and without inviting the risk of any copyright infringement, you must use your brain to rewrite that article. There is no software that can match the power of your brain. A piece of code cannot think. But your brain can. A piece of code can’t distinguish between meaningless and useful stuff but your brain can.

You may say : But I would like to use these Softwares with my brain to rewrite an article. Is it Ok ?

My answer : No. Don’t use these crappy softwares as assistant in rewriting your articles. Use some solid Softwares. One such solid (& absolutely free) software is Wordweb from Wordweb.info which is based on Princeton‘s WordNet project and has a huge collection of 150000 root words & 120000 synonym sets.

wordweb.jpg

This small utility software reside in the system tray and whenever you need to find the meaning/ synonym of any word you only need to press Ctl + right click while highlighting that word. Instantly the small windows popup and you can choose the relevant words from the list.

 

Just use your brain in conjunction with this small free utility and you’lll have a better and unique article with all the possibility of higher ranking in Google.

If I were to rewrite the above-mentioned paragraph (about dental insurance) in my own writing, here is what it’ll become.

This was the original paragraph :

“Many dental insurance companies offer deductibles that can be decided upon. If you can afford to have a higher deductible, you may find that it then becomes more affordable dental insurance. This is one way that you can lower your rates”

This is the new rewritten paragraph with the use of human brain :

“While going for dental insurance you’ll find that many dental insurance companies offer deductibles ( an amount that can be deducted especially for the purposes of calculating income tax) which can be decided upon by negotiation. You can have a more affordable dental insurance if you manage to have a higher deductible. This is one of the ways to lower your income tax. “

As you can see by rewriting the paragraph using my own style, I make it unique while retaining its effectiveness. I even made it more effective by explaining the meaning of term deductibles” in the paragraph. This is something that can be done by a human brain only. No software can do it.

If you think your brain is not capable of writing or rewriting good stuff owing to your lack of proficiency in grammar or the vocabulary, then you should spend some money on a good English grammar book. Learn the language properly by investing your time and energy into it. It’ll be an investment of the lifetime. Don’t buy any useless stuff in the hope of making quick bucks. In the long run it is not going to help you.

Even now if you feel the urge to buy any writing software, you should buy softwares which are used by actual writers and Editors for creating original stuff. For example one excellent software is Stylewriter – the Plain English Editor. This software, though costs $160, is worth the money as it is a really powerful English editing Software meant for professional writers. What Adobe Photoshop is to Graphic Softwares, Stylewriter it to Writing softwares.

In any case, your brain is more powerful than Stylewriter too. Just hone your writing skills, use your brain, take assistant of Wordweb and rewrite your articles. Please remember that all the stuff that you write online is meant for real people not for Google. Even if Google gives you 1000 visitors what would these visitors do on your website if they find crappy stuff ? Don’t distort the soul of web’s content. First of all try to create original, unique and interesting article by using your brain. If creating original articles in not possible, rewrite already existing articles but again – use your brain. Make articles more interesting and powerful by rewriting them. Don’t distort their soul by using any rewriting software. They are a waste of money.

Sharrif, your an idiot and don’t know what you’re talking about, sorry if Eklavya totally killed your buzz and shatterd your only hope on writing aricles since you see to be so dumb.
On another note I too am a little bit lazy when it come to writing and re-writing of articles for my niche websites and also was on the search for something quick and easy and stumbled across this and respect your honest opinion and the fact you weren’t trying to sell us anything after that long article.
You have saved me money from trying out any softawre and I will stick to what I’m currently doing now, which is outsourcing my copywrite writer to write me out my original and quality content, I suggest people who are as lazy as me do the same.

B August 25, 2009 at 5:19 am

very true and useful post about writing. I tried several software programs and was extremely disappointed as they were useless and a pure waste of time in my view.
In the end you are better off to do it yourself – as with all things in life.

I ever used several free article rewrite software. However, most of them lead us to buy the pro version as the free version just mess the original article.

Abraham September 25, 2009 at 11:15 am

very good effort

Estani September 30, 2009 at 4:03 am

Very insightful article. You hit the core of the problem of article writing. I admire your honesty and that you took your time to compare and write about your findings.
I’ll recommend your article in my blog.
Thank you so much :-)

Awlachew October 12, 2009 at 8:20 pm

wow!
One of the best reports i got about article re-writing. I was skeptical about the idea of a software re-writing articles. Softwares can’t think!

Thanks for your effort to present such detailed report that helps us know the basics of article re-writing.

Debt October 22, 2009 at 2:13 am

You just write a commment in english .. hehe :)

Victor October 24, 2009 at 6:59 am

SHARIFF…
You have no moral authority to call such Golden piece of advice that has just saved me my precious time and money “stupid suggestion”.
I think you landed on this page searching for a solution like all of us but unfortunately you did not find anything to spend your money on. You have the ears to hear but you did not hear, you have the eyes to see but you did not see.
My advice look elsewhere not here.
I am happy about this blog and i will add it to my list of Most Trusted Websites. I spend my entire last night on a forum reading through over 700 comments about this stupid softwares but only one person mentioned about quality content and you will all be surprised he is one of the owners of this programs featured in this blog. He emphasized the need for your brain to get quality content.He was actually against all those who claim that their softwares can churn out 50 articles within 5 secs as he says that is not possible and if it exists then whatever articles that such software spins out is pure gibberish. Can you imagine this is from someone selling this kind of software?????
I wonder if I am allowed to post the discussions link here, but i will do it so that everyone to can see SHARRIF’s caliber and their quick rich schemes.

I would say this is a Golden piece of advice.If 52 out of 53 readers have approved the article then who am I to say no? It is worthy and I will always come back to this blog for more soul food.
How do we link up on twitter?

isa October 30, 2009 at 6:52 am

Am very happy to come across this post,it realy end my search for the best article rewriter software.You are absolutely right there is no sorftware that can think like our brain.With my brain sky is the starting point.Thanks a lot for the fact.

Hi
Great software,so true, ive tried several softwares to rewrite articles and the best one so far is Easy Rewritter 1.7 to find word synonims, and more options.

theNetrepreneur November 9, 2009 at 12:14 am

I’m really glad to have come across this post. like everyone else here, i was looking for a software that could rewrite articles for me.. didn’t know i have the software all along.. :)

thank you for turning the lights on for me.. more power!

amir November 23, 2009 at 6:09 pm

really superb software ..form your site only i came to know about the software.. and i have tried it out

lenses November 25, 2009 at 1:15 am

Great post, thank for the sharing.

Samh December 2, 2009 at 9:50 pm

AWESOME Post. I have had the same problem with all these so called article rewrite softwares. They are junk. I have not had one that worked out well. Sir this was a great POST!!

Gareth December 8, 2009 at 5:02 pm

Thanks for the post, I had been looking in to article rewriting software and I admit I had a similar view. Although the methed of writing and thinking takes longer than a single click I do agree and from a few small tests I did using some free trials, 1 quality article on a high traffic website (like ezine articles) will bring you much better results than a sloppy written article placed on a site simply for the backlinks.

I took the attitude that when people read your article they are trying to resolve a problem, they dont care how well your sales are doing, yet pleasing these people is your goal to funnel them down to click the links to make you sales (and of course increasing google ranks)

Waffle over good luck eveyone and I am now going to take a look at this tool

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

krishnan January 8, 2010 at 3:18 am

Great article. Wondering if there is any software that will detect copies of your original that are posted on the web? You work your tail off producing an article and someone steals it and reworks it either using a software or manually. Can any software spot these (in the case of the manual re-writing, can it spot the same structure in both articles)?

soni January 16, 2010 at 7:23 am

I’m confuse dwhen I went on to the site it says to download a free trial of the software and I see no page form where I can buy it.Now when trial is over I won be able to use it also downloading and installing it again wont work.

CONCLUSION:YOUR POST IS USELESSAND ALSO YOU ARE HIDING HALF TRUTH WHICH IS A WHOLE LIE.

Eklavya January 16, 2010 at 9:13 am

Dear Soni,

Before drawing conclusions, kindly read the site of stylewriter again It has been clearly written there that software comes only through a CD. You’ll need to order first and then get a digital trial download. Once you get the CD at home, you can register the trial version with the serial number. Simple. Isn’t it ?

Eklavya January 16, 2010 at 9:15 am

Well though there is no software as far as I know about it. But you can use the site “www.copyscape.com” to check your contents for plagiarism.

Gerry January 18, 2010 at 12:21 am

I appreciate your honesty. The Brain needs the mental exercise. Many of us are relying to much on technology as you say, but it is time to energize our brain cells.

Many Thanks

Duane Cartujano January 25, 2010 at 9:17 pm

This is great, that you for sharing this. So now i know where i can go to have this article rewriting software.

Prince Ade-Johnson January 28, 2010 at 11:24 am

Thanks very much. I had the same problem with so much plr articles in my hard disk. I was hoping to get a good article rewriting software. it was my search that took me to your article on this site.

I realy enjoyed the information, it is very educative and an eye opener. It has saved me from more time wasting searching for article rewriting software.

Also, thanks for introducing a better software, though inferior to the brain.

You did a nice job.

Dr.Santhosh Selvam February 12, 2010 at 7:20 am

Hi was just searching for article rewriter software and landed on to your blog. I accepted to your fact that there is no other codes that’s going to work better than our human brains. But in my case i dont i have that have that much time to spend upon.

Lars February 27, 2010 at 4:55 am

I totally agree with you. What’s the point in saving time rewriting articles if your whole online reputation and moral is jeopardized. One “funny” thing though. In the opening of the article you have a big Google ad, which very much resembles a recommendation from you. It advertises a rewriting tool. I clicked it and was somewhat confused when reading the copy, because this didn’t look like the best article rewriting software and it was not free! But anyway.. you got your adsense income from that one.

Eklavya February 28, 2010 at 2:47 am

Ha ha ha ! LMAO !
Dear Lars,

Yes you are right.The ad is just an ad from Google Adsense program and I have no control whatsoever for it. I don’t recommend the softwares for rewriting articles. They are just ads to get some adsense… you know what I mean :)

Jall March 5, 2010 at 4:16 pm

I agree there’s no such software can replace human brain.

Now i reveal my BIG secret.

I manage to tweak my microsoft words grammar and thesaurus function capability and add a few macro commands on my own and WALLA…i have 100 times better than those software.

Maria March 10, 2010 at 2:55 pm

Hello theindianblogger,

Thanks for this article and its links. I now have wordweb and stylewriter. With my brain, I can write numerous articles that people and search engine will love.

I have hundreds of PLR in my hard drive. Now, I can make use of them according to my own style and soul.

StyleWriter is really good because it gives metrics of style in writing, etc…

Yeah, thanks so much for your content rewriter article.

Maria

Tony Murphy March 19, 2010 at 7:31 pm

This is a unique blog post in that it is truthful and very well written.

I takr my hat off to you. Most people are looking for shortcuts and they just don’t exist.

yes, it is possible to rewrite much quicker with tools (such as the ones I developed) but you absolutely must use you brain.

It’s a no brainer…..

Thanks for the refreshing article

cheers
Tony

John March 24, 2010 at 12:18 pm

Being in the business of rewriting articles, we always get stuff to try, even if we don’t use them, we only use human writers, and I say this because, and I quote “A piece of code cannot think”. But if you want to use a program that can really help you with your writing, then by far WordWeb is the best free software of this kind out there.

Jibanananda Goswami April 6, 2010 at 3:57 pm

Thanks a lot to myself because I searched google and fortunately clicked this link first. This saved my whole night.
Dear friends, if you try to search a software that rewrites an article keeping it’s meaning intact, then you will find a lot. You will try each of them and at last none of them will work. But it will take at least One Month from your valuable time.
Now just think, if you try one month, you can write/re-write at least 10 article that will be meaningful and your readers will read it without hesitation. Yes, you must use dictionary software for it. But when rewriting, please try to add something extra. Otherwise nobody will give value to you and your article. As an example, I am just re-writing what SARIF said brutally.

**********************
Hai,
You have written this article only to give this stupid suggestion?
spend some money on a good English grammar book. Learn the language properly by investing your time and energy into it. Itll be an investment of the lifetime
Please stop your advice and dont create an article if you dont have an idea. Everyone is not that expert in English. (See my English. What is wrong if I search for a software help?) Doubtlessly many people are in need of a rewriter software. If 90% jobs were done by the software, the final touch can be given using our brain. Thats ok.
Few days before I read in a forum. Someone had suggested to use the Google Translator to create new unique articles. Translate to Russian and again to English. As the Russian grammar rules are similar to English, the idea works well without much trouble. Try this.
**************************
Now after rewriting, (just in 10 Mins)

Hi,
I dont think that your article and suggestion is much useful. You suggested to buy a English grammar and invest time and energy to learn the language (English) and then write or re-write article. But everyone in the world can not be an expert in English. Even I can write English properly (open for your review) but why I can not use a software for my work? If the software can do the job 90% then it is easy to give a final human touch on the output of the re-writer software.
I read in a forum before few days that Google Translator can be used to create unique article. If I translate an English article to Russian and then again translate from Russian to English, it works without much trouble. I think you should try this.

************************
Friends, kindly post your comment on this re-writing and if there is any software that can do this job, kindly post that also.

Medi April 14, 2010 at 5:21 am

Its a great software, now I can save time in writing different articles on one topic, this software helps me in saving my time to post articles in many more article directories…

vinita April 21, 2010 at 9:37 am

i want to knw the simple way of rewritting with correct grammetical approach.

sandfy May 4, 2010 at 2:22 am

Just use your brain, pare the articles down, restructure the sentences, use new words and give new titles. Probably can do that faster than you can using the rewriting software, anyway!

silk pajama May 13, 2010 at 7:40 am

i really want to find a free rewrite soft, but most are just free for a short time,
i had to try this one now

Gerald Alden May 21, 2010 at 7:30 pm

you’re absolutely right on target with this post! the human brain can do the job of artilce rewriting better than any software created. The latter can be good for support, but the actual meat – the content – can only become a unique written masterpiece, if handled by your own brain.

Yonsal May 29, 2010 at 11:25 am

Hi very nice article. I am working on different sites but facing a problem of low time for rewriting articles. today i try to search some kind of software through which i can solve this problem but after reading your article I decided that it will be only a time wastage. I am totally agree with you that little piece of code can not compete with original brain.

Gypsy Gina June 6, 2010 at 4:37 pm

Jall, would you be so kind as to share a few of the macros that you use. I think you have a great idea there!

umer June 10, 2010 at 11:18 am

very nice article.thanks

Beasiswa Scholarship June 16, 2010 at 6:55 am

Thanks a lot for sharing. This could help me so much. :)

Tony Bowles June 16, 2010 at 1:01 pm

If someone finds article writing time consuming and a chore, then they should buy a ‘speech to text’ software.

Geeky Fem June 25, 2010 at 2:37 am

I agree with you that there is NO replacement for Human Brain but… rewriting every article manually is waste of time. It is not a viable solution for quick cash earners.

Spinrobot July 15, 2010 at 11:44 am

Rewriting using the brain is fine, if you have the time. As is spell checking by hand. If you are like most of us though, you need some help. You should try SpinRobot. There’s even a free trial. It is the closest thing to a human rewriter you’ll ever see.

poster August 1, 2010 at 3:26 am

write everyday, read everyday. read this book: the art of styling sentences.

Gizli Objeler August 2, 2010 at 4:37 am

I was trying to find a rewriter software. Too many options on market but none of them is good at you suggest (Human brain).

Thanks for this post , it changed my mind !

JLee Jones August 10, 2010 at 1:19 am

Great Article, two thumbs up! We All Should Know that Google has the brains and the money to figure out what is going on.

Sam August 13, 2010 at 5:32 am

wow this is excellent explanation

Hal August 13, 2010 at 6:17 am

Brilliant article and terrific resource – I’m sure I’ll get good use out of it :-)

Soni (above) appears not to be very bright – pun intended.

Just look on the main page, and you’ll see reference to the Pro (paid) version 2 or 3 times at least, and the unobtrusive “buy” button at the top right of the page (and I believe in the middle of the main page, too) – short memory… sorry, but at least I’m bright enough to look around and saw what I saw.

Anyway, thanks for the info and product recommendation :-)

Hal August 13, 2010 at 8:18 am

I just had to look – SpinRobot does seem to do a pretty decent job too. Another very fine tool is by the Buzz boys, Calvin and Jonathan. I’m sorry, but I can only remember the first word of the name of the desktop software “Infinity” – if you do a search on Google, I’m sure you’ll find it. I’ll look around, too, and if I find it, I will post here again. I understand v.4 is coming out soon.

Jessica August 26, 2010 at 10:33 pm

You hit the nail on the head. Its absolutely impossible to write a sensible article using any kind of software. I have come across many articles even in some of the better known sites which I believe have been written with the help of software and they sound like gibberish. I have submitted hundreds of articles but unfortunately the company I’m writing them for has the copyrights and therefore I can never use my name. I also have about 10 articles in Ezine, but don’t have time to submit to them any more. Enjoyed reading your articles which was so full of sense. Thanks a lot.
