Paraphrasing is an editing technique used to improve the quality of the content. It enhances clarity and readability. The clarity in a write-up is very important to grab the attention of the readers and make the content engaging. So, a piece of content that is intended for any audience should ensure clarity and engagement to get the attention of the readers and gain traffic on any online platform.
The easiest way to paraphrase your writing is by using a free online paraphrasing tool. That said, the following are some paraphrasing techniques applied by such a tool to achieve maximum clarity in your content.
Rewording/Synonymizing
The major issue that reduces the clarity in any writing is the use of inconsistent wording. Within a sentence, we may use some difficult words. This can confuse average readers and cause them to leave the write-up. However, if we use simple language, it may bore the highly-knowledgeable readers.
So, the wording of your content has to be maintained according to the level of readers, which can be done using a free paraphrasing tool. It will synonymize the content and use more appropriate words in place of the existing ones. To demonstrate this, we’re using Editpad. It is available online and is totally free to use for everyone. Below, you can see how it changes the words in a piece of text.
As can be seen, the tool has changed the inconsistent words and made the sentences flow better. This has helped a lot in achieving clarity in the paragraph. There is a clear difference in the clarity of input and output text.
Restructuring Sentences
Sometimes, the wording in the content is good. It covers everything about the topic but its structure lacks clarity. There is a mix-up of independent and dependent clauses. This can also break the flow of the readers and they may not recommend it to anyone or reread it.
We can resolve this issue too, with a paraphrasing tool. It can restructure the sentences to improve clarity in the writing, as shown in the demonstration below. The same tool is used here as well.
With the engaging sentence structure, more clarity in the writing is attained after being paraphrased by the tool. The changes made in the fourth and fifth sentences have made the content easy to read and understand for the readers.
Condensing the Statement
Over wording also affects the clarity of a write-up. This is because this important information within the sentences gets undermined. It is important to remove the extra and unnecessary words to highlight the intended message and make the flow of the writing better. An online paraphraser does this work for you as it removes the less important words and places focus on the right information, as shown below in the image of the said tool.
It can be seen that the number of words has been reduced from 85 to 70. These removed words were unnecessary and were making the information vague, which have been removed and now the paragraph looks clearer to read.
Maintaining Consistent Tone
When we are writing in a specific language. i.e. Formal. The selection of words must be formal. There should not be any slang to cause inconsistencies. This is also the case with academic writing. So, it is mandatory to ensure that the tone of the writing matches its intended purpose.
This can be done with a paraphrasing tool. Many such tools provide different modes to users. Each paraphrasing mode works differently and attains a specific tone and style in the content. To demonstrate, we’re using the ‘Formal’ mode in Editpad’s paraphrasing tool. You can see how it attains a consistent formal tone in the provided text below, improving its clarity for the intended readers.
Final Words
Clarity in writing is really important to ensure readers don’t get bored and can understand the text easily. It can be improved with a free online paraphrasing tool.
Such a tool uses multiple techniques to improve the clarity of the writing. These techniques are all part of paraphrasing and include rewording the sentences to maintain a consistent vocabulary, restructuring them to avoid confusion and increase flow, condensing the statements to increase focus on the important information, and maintaining a consistent tone to match the target audience preferences.
All in all, after using a paraphrasing tool, writing becomes more engaging, consistent, and clear to grab the attention of the readers.
