What do you like best about Paraphraser.io?
Great product! As someone who needs to write tons of documents regularly, I absolutely love "paraphraser.io"
1. Very simple to use: No complex workstreams or prompting. Straightforward open "paraphraser.io" and done.
2. Intuitive UI : No Jargon. No heavy website. All the relevant tools on the main page "paraphraser.io" -- no redirections from page to page.
3. Includes all the needed functions: My work day-to-day tasks extensively need parphraser, text summarizer, plagiarism checker, grammar correction. "paraphraser.io" puts them all together. In addition, it supports multiple languages and also suggests me synonyms for words -- plus one to my knowledge :)
One very cool thing paraphraser equips is "citation generator". With the proflieration of websites such as google scholar, dblp, I am able to find many citations easily. But for the ones which i don't find (there are many, trust me), the best I do was writing "jsons" manually, which appears so foolish now :D. I can affirm their easy-to-use citation generator is exponentially better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Paraphraser.io?
Amazing product in the right direction, might need some in my opinion based on my experience:
1. Build a google chrome extension: In it's current state, i have to open the website each time i need to paraphrase a passage. However, it will be very convenient if i am able to get their suggestions while i am typing irrespective of the website i am working on. Additionally, i also found it useful when other softwares include slack, google drive integrations.
2. Handle long-form passages: I may be doing it wrong but currently paraphraser.io does not work well with long-form content. I workaround this by applying human intervention while rephrasing the chunks of text correspondingly. Highly recommend them to plan features over pdf documents.
3. Adding more common use-cases: Despite the current sophistication, i feel the functionalities for "paraphraser.io" are limited. My favourite and daily used toolings which are missing as of today are Blog Post title generator, social media caption generator, email generator, talk to PDFs, and so on.
I would appreciate if they can address transparency about their security, privacy practices. Confounded with the current descriptions on the website, my usage of this software was extremely restricted to publicly available or non-sensitve informations. This can help users like me instill confidence in paraphraser.io. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
