We just rolled out the most important batch of updates since we first launched Spin Rewriter back in September 2011 – we’re calling it the “Major Update 1“.

What’s new? Here’s just a couple of things:

• user feedback is much more filtered now – Spin Rewriter will no longer pick up bad habits and misspelled words from its users
• improved differentiation between similar meanings of words with multiple meanings
• One-Click Rewrite now generates even more readable text, the difference on real-life test cases is more than significant
• less frequently used synonyms are now methodically offered to users so Spin Rewriter can further evaluate their quality (in a non-intrusive way)
• improved word manipulation – 99.9% of all verbs are now correctly transformed into their past-tense and gerund form, etc.
• comparative adjectives are no longer suggested for superlative adjectives, and vice-versa (with some obvious exceptions where this is preferred)
• we removed verbs in gerund form (-ing verbs) that were tied to verbs in their base form where required
• we fixed a bug that caused our API to generate faulty spintax in some cases
• Spin Rewriter API now offers a new setting – users can request articles to be spun only on the first level (no nested spins)
• the One-Click Rewrite process offers a new setting that does the same – guarantees that the resulting text is spun on the first level only
• your One-Click Rewrite preferences (“Protected Keywords”, “Confidence”, etc.) and similar preferences are now saved automatically
• saved projects are correctly represented with their names (even if those names are later changed by users)
• we now offer the “Bulk Rewrite” option where you rewrite multiple articles with a single click, and spun articles immediately show up in your Archive
• we now offer the “I’m Feeling Lucky” option that rewrites one article with a single click and returns spun text, entirely skipping Step 2 of the process
• our affiliate partners can find “embed codes” for all our promotional YouTube videos directly on our website, within the Affiliate Program section
• our user interface is now using native browser handles for resizing various input fields (available in Firefox, Chrome, Safari)
• we optimized and compressed browser-based code and made Spin Rewriter even more responsive and quicker to load
• we researched our data about most common screen resolutions of our users, cleaned up the user interface and made it even faster
• much much more …

As you can see, we weren’t kidding with this update … Oh, and we’re only getting started … 😀

We’ll follow up with detailed explanations of some of these updates in the following days, so – stay tuned! 😀

We’ve noticed that Spin Rewriter picked up a few bad habits over the last couple of months. While the large majority of things that it’s learned from its users have been great, there were also some quirks introduced into its system by users that may not be perfectly fluent in English. With this in mind we have developed a new  sub-system that filters user feedback even more, and only learns from what are top quality suggestions.

This means that from now on there’ll be no more weird definitions for various meanings, misspelled synonyms (we’re still working on the issue with the plural form of some synonyms), synonyms that start with an uppercase letter even though they shouldn’t, etc.

This update is going to be included with Spin Rewriter’s first “Major Update” that’s going to happen on Friday, January 27th. We’re really excited about it. 😉

In the last blog post I listed quite a few improvements that are already on the horizon and will be rolled out any day now.

Now we’re adding 2 great new improvements to the list:

• When our users are rewriting articles as paragraph and sentence level, they are sometimes a bit hurried and can get multiple commas at the end of their sentences etc. These issues will be fixed by Spin Rewriter automatically from now on.
• We’ve further improved the system that assigns correct indefinite articles (“a” and “an”) to words in the finished (spun) version of the article. It might be 100% flawless now – time will tell. 😀

We hope you enjoy these updates as much as we do, have a great day! 😀

Even while we’re here in California, we’re still working hard to make sure Spin Rewriter only keeps on getting better and better.

Very soon we’ll be pushing out a new update that will fix some issues, and add some great functionality as well:

• various shortened verbs (let’s, I’m, etc.) will be treated even more intelligently by our software
• Spin Rewriter will be able to make even more abbreviations on its own
• you will be able to have more than 1 unfinished saved project at any time, and these projects will be saved on our servers (so you can continue working on them from any computer!)
