How to Use QuillBot on Phone and Computer

Lucid Gen discovered QuillBot when it was just an English content paraphrasing tool. After years of development, QuillBot now has more features, and its application supports more platforms. So what interesting features does QuillBot have? Let’s explore with Lucid Gen how to use QuillBot on phones and computers.

Introduction to QuillBot – A Complete Writing Solution

QuillBot is a versatile AI writing tool designed to assist users in content creation, sentence improvement, grammar checking, and more. With a user-friendly interface, QuillBot is suitable for everyone from students to content creators and businesses.

When to Use QuillBot

The right time to use QuillBot is when you already have basic content. QuillBot will help you edit and complete the existing content. To make it easier for you to understand, when using the QuillBot Summarizer feature, you must provide detailed content, and when using the QuillBot Paraphraser feature, you must provide a piece of content that needs transformation.

If you don’t have basic content and are drafting in English, using Grammarly will be better at this stage.

Pricing and Advanced Features

QuillBot allows you to use it for free with basic features and some limitations. When upgrading to QuillBot Premium, you will have the following benefits:

Using QuillBot on a Computer

You should use QuillBot on a computer because QuillBot is most fully developed with the website version. Although they support extensions for browser integration, free Microsoft Office, and even mobile apps, they do not have as many features as the website version. To guide all the features, I will use QuillBot Premium.

QuillBot Paraphraser

QuillBot Paraphraser is a feature that helps users replace synonyms or synonymous sentences into an original paragraph, this is the core function of QuillBot. To use this feature basically, you just need to paste the content into the left box and click the Paraphrase button. However, you also need to pay attention to advanced settings to use QuillBot Paraphraser more effectively.

Language, mode, and synonym level settings

Look at the menu area above QuillBot Paraphraser. QuillBot Paraphraser supports 26 languages, including Vietnamese. The modes will help your new content fit many purposes.

• Standard: Default mode.
• Fluency: Helps content read fluently.
• Natural: Makes content sound natural like spoken language.
• Formal: Makes content more formal.
• Simple: Makes content easy to understand for many people.
• Creative: Makes content innovative and creative.
• Expand: Makes content more detailed and longer.
• Shorten: Makes content more concise and succinct.
• Custom: Like AI, you just need to fill in your purpose, for example: “Like a CEO”.

Freeze words you don’t want to paraphrase with Freeze Words

When you don’t want to paraphrase specialized terms, idioms, SEO keywords. You can add these phrases to Freeze Words.

Compare results of multiple modes with Compare Modes

When you don’t know which mode will suit your expectations, try the Compare Modes function in the right menu column. It will show you the results of all modes at once.

Check tone

This function will measure and evaluate the tone of your new content. From there, you will adjust the mode, increase or decrease the synonym level to have a tone close to your expectations.

Some other useful settings

• Paraphrase quotations: Allows paraphrasing sentences in quotation marks.
• Avoid contractions: Avoid using contractions, for example: don’t use “can’t” for “cannot”.
• Prefer active voice: Prefer using active voice instead of passive.

QuillBot Grammar Checker

QuillBot Grammar Checker is a feature that helps you check and correct grammar errors. It also integrates AI to help you generate ideas and continue writing content.

Advanced settings

In the settings section, you can turn on and off some grammar check functions and editing suggestions. Most of these functions are useful, so Lucid Gen encourages you to keep them all turned on.

Check statistics and tone

QuillBot Grammar Checker will have additional score statistics, along with tone. It helps you have a measure to evaluate the content you are writing, from which you will adjust the content for better quality.

QuillBot Plagiarism Checker

QuillBot Plagiarism Checker is a feature that helps you check for plagiarism. Lucid Gen thinks you will be very pleased because QuillBot is like an all-in-one tool.

But you should only consider the results of QuillBot Plagiarism Checker as a reference result because teachers and schools will not use QuillBot; they mainly check plagiarism with Turnitin, and surely the results from Turnitin will be more reliable.

Let Lucid Gen explain why Turnitin’s results are more reliable than QuillBot’s. The key is the amount of data each side has. Turnitin combines data from the internet and millions of essays submitted from all schools worldwide, while QuillBot uses data from the internet only.

Returning to how to use QuillBot Plagiarism Checker, you just need to paste the text or upload a file, wait 5-10 minutes, and you will have the results.

Click on the file name to see details; you will see the plagiarism rate and sources containing similar content.

QuillBot AI Detector

QuillBot AI Detector is a feature that detects content written by AI (check AI). Using QuillBot AI Detector is also simple; you just need to paste the content to check AI into it and click the Detect button.

QuillBot Summarizer

QuillBot Summarizer is a content summarization feature with three modes to help you summarize content flexibly.

• Paragraph: Summarizes content into a paragraph.
• Bullet Points: Summarizes content into main points.
• Custom: Like AI, you will state how you want to summarize below the original content.

To use QuillBot Summarizer, you also need to pay attention to setting the short-long level and selecting the main keywords of the content.

QuillBot Citation Generator

QuillBot Citation Generator is a feature that searches and creates content source citations in APA, MLA, and Chicago formats. This is one of QuillBot’s unique features, according to Lucid Gen. Using QuillBot Citation Generator will save you time and avoid formatting errors in writing citations.
