Hemmingway-1.5, the model behind this tool, writes like a person, not like a template: 90% of its writing passed GPTZero & Pangram and the top AI detectors in our test, which is why we call it undetectable AI. It is also one of our tools for AI for school.
Paste a passage, from a few sentences up to a paragraph or two, and Hemmingway says the same thing in different words and a different sentence shape. Add where it is going and how it should sound, and it comes back closer to your own voice.
It works only from the passage. The names, numbers and claims that went in are the ones that come out, with nothing new beside them.
A paraphrase changes the words, not who had the idea. If the passage is someone else's, name the source next to your version. In the Hemmingway app, ask it to find sources and it searches the web and cites them. If the passage is your own and only reads stiffly, the AI humanizer is the closer fit.
What makes it work
- Paste one idea at a time. A few sentences reword cleanly. A whole page drifts from the original and is harder to check.
- Say where it is going. An essay, a report and a caption call for different wording, even with the same facts.
- Leave alone what has no other name. A technical term, a title or a figure should stay as it is. The tool is told to keep them.
- Quote when the exact words matter. If the way the source put it is the point, use quotation marks and keep it as written.
An example
Given the passage "The council's decision to close the footbridge for repairs has forced commuters onto a detour that adds twenty minutes to the walk to the station", for an essay, in plain words, a paraphrase along these lines is what to expect:
Commuters now spend twenty minutes longer walking to the station, because the council has shut the footbridge for repairs and they have to go round.
The order and most of the words have changed. The council, the footbridge, the repairs and the twenty minutes have not. In an essay it still needs its source named.
Common questions
Is the paraphrasing tool free?
Yes. Hemmingway has a free trial with no card needed. When free drafts are available, this tool writes the paraphrase on this page, without an account. Otherwise it opens Hemmingway with your answers filled in, you sign up once, and the paraphrase is written in the chat.
Is paraphrasing plagiarism?
Not when you credit the source. Putting someone else's idea into new words and presenting it as your own is plagiarism, however different the wording is. Reword it, then say where it came from. The guide on how to paraphrase shows how to do both by hand.
Will it get past a plagiarism checker or an AI detector?
On AI detectors, 90% of Hemmingway-1.5's writing passed GPTZero & Pangram and four other detectors in our test. On plagiarism, name the source next to your version, as with any paraphrase.
Will it sound like AI?
It is built not to. Hemmingway-1.5, the model behind it, passes GPTZero & Pangram and the top AI detectors 9 times in 10. It still helps to read it aloud and change any word you would not use.
What is the difference between paraphrasing and summarising?
A paraphrase keeps everything the passage says, at about the same length, in new words. A summary keeps only the main points and is much shorter. For a summary, use the AI summarizer; to rework a single line, the sentence rewriter.
