If you’ve created a draft with Reword lately, you’ll know that we’ve launched a slick and slender new draft creation flow.

But it isn’t just a pretty new re-design, it’s packing a punch with a few new features that make your article writing workflows easier.

Add a URL to start your draft from an existing article

Instead of starting from scratch, you can also import an article from an existing URL. This is ideal if you’re optimizing an existing article and need to make sure you’re starting with the latest content.

Simply enter the URL and Reword will pull in your article content.

Our new plagiarism audit feature catches potential plagiarism issues early, saving time you would otherwise spend dealing with the consequences of publishing non-original content.

With the new plagiarism sidebar app,

  • You can ensure your articles are original.

  • You can maintain your credibility.

  • You can protect yourself against potential legal issues. 

  • You can focus more on creating new content than fixing problems after they arise.

How Does It Work?

Using the plagiarism audit is as simple as clicking on it in your sidebar. Then, just wait for it to analyze your article. 

It will highlight any potential texts that it suspects are plagiarized and show you the number in the top right under “alerts,”

It will also link to the source it believes the text is taken from so you can confirm; after that, you can adjust your article as you see fit.

Ever since Michael Shrayer launched the Electric Pencil in 1976, word processors have come a long way.

With every technological shift, the software in a writers tool-belt has taken a different shape. AI is the latest inflection point, changing the way we write and the tools we use to aid us.

At Reword, we envision a more connected editor, where you can accomplish just about anything without leaving the word processor.

Our new app library helps you shape-shift your Reword experience to suit your workflow. Apps will include AI-first features, third-party connectors and collaborative tools.

With the launch of the app library, we're announcing the first (of many) apps.

A picture speaks a thousand words. As article writers, we know just how important the visual component of articles are to convey a point.

Our Unsplash app gives you direct access to a library of stock photos that you can insert directly into your editor, with credits to the photographer.

Meta description: Generate an SEO-ready descriptions

On a mission to rise to the top of the search results? Meta descriptions are a big part of that.

Writing a good one isn't an easy task. It must be engaging, relevant and hint to the reader that your article is going to scratch their itch.

Our meta description app uses AI to combine your article's content and search intents, so that it can write the perfect meta description for your audience.

Managing your apps

There's two ways to toggle your apps at any time from the editor:

  • In the top navigation, click Apps > Manage apps

  • In the sidebar navigation, click the + icon
