QuillBot: Free Paraphrasing Tool
- gibolt 8y agoSeems to do a consistent job making comparable sentences. Curious what tech is underneath the UI.
- rladd 8y agoIt changed the meaning of a paragraph I tested it with.
- saternius 8y agoThe system is by no means perfect. If I had to compare it to self driving cars, I'd say its a level 2 on automation safety. You should have your hands on the wheel when you use it, but it still makes driving easier.
- netinstructions 8y agoLooks like a great force-multiplier tool to assist the fake product review business!
- simlevesque 8y agoYup. Why does it avoid saying what this it ? it's a spintax tool.
- saternius 8y agoThe main difference between Quillbot and spinners, is that a majority of people we've surveyed say they use QuillBot for suggestions on their writing. I'd give it a good chance on providing a better sentence structure if you are a non native speaker.
- civilian 8y agoAlso a force-multiplier for the plagiarized essays industry!

- hnuser123456 8y agoIt's still far more economical and effective to hire real people to type those. Plus, it's easy to recognize fully conciseness-optimized English. And when leaving reviews, your average person doesn't write the most concise English possible. Neural networks are capable of optimizing English. The knowledge and capacity to do this is already globally widespread. Sorry to be the one to tell you.
- saternius 8y agoGlad you agree. I suspect QuillBot is not ideal for fake reviews anyways since you would likely want a diversity of positive opinions rather than the same ones regurgitated. What I'm really excited to see is, where this technology goes in regards to education and writing enhancement. (For clarity, I'm the CEO of Quillbot)
- hnuser123456 8y agoYour product is a good tool for teaching improved English. A tutor once told me, for a standardized English test, the shortest answer option that still sounds natural is likely the right one. I nearly aced it.
- stan_rogers 8y agoWell, sure... if you're looking for an "invisible idiot" solution. This short passage from Terry Pratchett: "The expression on the face of Lord Havelock Vetenari was, for a moment, a picture. And it was a picture painted by a very modern artist, one who had been smoking something generally considered to turn the brain to cheese." was rendered as "Lord Havelock Vetenari's expression on the face was a picture for a moment. And it was a picture painted by a very modern artist who generally thought to turn the brain into cheese, smoking something." Language is hard.
- saternius 8y agoLike I commented on below, the system is still imperfect. Its about a level 2 safety if compared to a self driving car, and it will not being doing stunt tricks any time soon. That being said, we are hopeful that it is only a matter of time.
- openbasic 8y agoThis is so much fun. Does anyone know any opensource alternatives of this kind of text and essay manipulation?
- objektif 8y agoCant get past the captcha.
- saternius 8y agoWe considered removing recaptcha, since we are fully aware of how annoying it is, but we had to keep it because of the rampant bot abuse.
- duchenne 8y agoSince I am not a native English speaker, I use quillbot to make my sentences sound more natural. Especially when I write an email or for the texts on my web apps. Also, I met the founders before our yc interviews. They are very cool guys, with an impressive tech.
- saternius 8y agoTotally remembered our couch conversation. Appreciate the kind words and support. Hope your startup is doing well and I'm glad you found our website helpful!
- duchenne 8y agoAlso, I've met quite many office workers in France and Korea that would be very interested in your service. They regularly have to make powerpoint slides in English. This kind of presentations can have a big impact on their careers, but they struggle because of the language. They sometimes call proof-reading services. They are high-quality but not flexible. You have to send them the finished document and cannot make last minute modifications. Maybe, the companies could even pay to make it accessible for their employees (or embedded in an powerpoint). Foreign branches of international corporations could be a good target because the communication between local workers and the HQ is always problematic.
- superasn 8y agoI couldn't find the premium pricing anywhere. Now it wants me to signup before I can know it. Maybe I missed it?
- m_ransing 8y agoI like this. This will help in writing email.
- venuur 8y agoCool idea! I tried it, but it gave me back the same sentence I put in :(. I guess my sentence was not interesting enough. Unfortunately my connection is too slow to poke around more.
- your-nanny 8y agoafter the fifth captcha chalkenge/demand I quit. please don't waste my time
