Widgets
https://x.writefull.com/title-generator
Widget can generate a suitable title for the article (or other text) based on the inserted abstract. The inserted abstract should be between 150 and 2000 characters long. If you are not satisfied, you can re-generate the title any number of times.
https://x.writefull.com/abstract-generator/index.html
Widget can generate an abstract for your article. You insert your manuscript (from introduction to conclusion, without reference list) and Abstract Generator will generate an abstract for your article. If you don't like the generated draft, you click the Generate button again and a new abstract is generated.
https://x.writefull.com/paraphraser/index.html#
Widget can paraphrase sentences. It allows paraphrasing at three levels: low (minor changes), medium (word and phrase level changes) and high (phrase and syntax level changes). You can avoid overusing certain words and find new variations to express your ideas.
Attention! We strongly advise you not to use the tool to paraphrase other authors' sentences; always enter your own text. The tool does not support plagiarism. If you want to work with other authors' ideas, paraphrase in your own words and always include a link to the source!
https://x.writefull.com/academizer
Widget can transcribe a sentence written in informal English into academic (scholarly) English.
Writefull has developed its own AI model to convert informal language into academic language. The generated text is not only more formal, but also fits better in an academic context. It is therefore ideal for writing final papers in English or for writing academic texts. The difference between the Paraphraser widget and Academizer: Academizer was created to rewrite informal language into academic language, while Paraphraser rewrites academic sentences into new academic ones. So if you have written a sentence in informal English and want to rewrite it into academic English, use Academizer. If you have written a sentence in academic English and want to rewrite it, use Paraphraser.
https://x.writefull.com/gpt-detector
Not sure if a text is original or AI plagiarism? This widget evaluates how likely the text was created using GPT-3, GPT-4 or ChatGPT.
