❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between paraphrasing and plagiarism?

Paraphrasing is rewriting ideas in your own words. It becomes plagiarism only if you don't cite the original source. Always attribute ideas to their source, even when paraphrased.

Will AI paraphrasing pass plagiarism checkers?

Yes, properly paraphrased text typically passes plagiarism detection. However, remember that passing a checker doesn't exempt you from citing sources.

How is this different from Quillbot?

Unlike Quillbot's 125-word free limit, BrainWave has no per-request word limits. We use Claude AI for more natural, context-aware paraphrasing.

Can I paraphrase entire essays?

Yes, but we recommend paraphrasing paragraph by paragraph for best results. This gives the AI better context for each section.

Is my text kept private?

Yes. We don't store your original text or paraphrased output. Everything is processed securely and deleted immediately.
