Spin Rewriter now uses “filtered” user feedback

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 newΒ  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. πŸ˜‰

Spin Rewriter – MAJOR update scheduled for Jan 27

Yup, that’s right – we’re releasing the first MAJOR Spin Rewriter update since we first launched our new product back in September of last year.

Those of you who have contacted our support department in the last couple of weeks have probably already been told all about it (we’re super excited about this update), however here’s some more news for everyone else. We have the very first major Spin Rewriter update scheduled for January 27th, that’s 15 days from now. What does that mean?

  • We’ll inspect the learning process even more thoroughly than we have before, and we’ll fine-tune it even more.
  • We’ll clean up the user interface and make Spin Rewriter even easier to use.
  • We’ll take care of those annoying little issues, such as nonsensical verbs (“he weres”) that have been popping up as of late.
  • We’ll introduce over 20 updates and new features!!!

We’ve been jotting down all your feedbackΒ meticulously all this time, and we’re going to make sure that all great ideas are implemented with this new major update. We firmly believe that Spin Rewriter is going to become the undisputed number 1 article spinner on the market shortly after we roll out this important update.

Stay tuned! πŸ˜€

 

Improved Spin Distribute validation

We just improved the article validation process over at Spin Distribute – our in-house article distribution system.

We know how annoying it is to apply a bunch of the {first option|second option} spinning syntax to your articles, and get the “faulty syntax” error that’s caused by a missing “{” or “}” character. In this case it’s usually incredibly difficult to locate the error and fix your spinning syntax.

With this in mind we decided to help you out. πŸ˜‰ Say you’re working with this text: “However, before {going | rushing} to the nearest hardware store and buying a sprayer …”

You just so happen to forget the closing “}” character, so you’re left with “However, before {going | rushing to the nearest hardware store and buying a sprayer …”

From now on, Spin Distribute’s validation system will provide additional information that should help you resolve your problem really quickly:

“There seems to be something wrong with the number of brackets.

There’s probably a ] character missing shortly after:
Β»…However, before [going | rushing to the nearest hardware st…Β«

Please, check your spinning syntax once again.”

This should make your day-to-day spinning even easier! πŸ˜€

 

And We’re Back!

Huh, the Holiday time has come and gone, and once again it’s time to get back into the fully productive mode.

It’s going to be a bit difficult at first, I have to admit – but once we get all our mental engines up and running, we’ll be good to go.

What’s new? We already introduced some updates to Spin Distribute, e.g. you can now use “https” links to link back to your websites when distributing articles.

What’s coming? Well, at the moment we’re looking at a To-Do list with 12 items (updates) for our amazing new spinning software called Spin Rewriter, and another To-Do list with 5 items that have to do with other projects.

2012 is certainly going to be a “busy one”. πŸ˜‰

 

Some Spin Rewriter updates coming up

We’ll be releasing another batch of Spin Rewriter some time very soon. What’s to come:

  • One-Click Rewrite will get the option to only do one-level spinning (both through the application and the API)
  • You’ll be able to save the Protected Keywords that you’re using most often.
  • You’ll be able to save the One-Click Rewrite settings that you’re using most often.
  • Spin Rewriter will focus on the writing style even more – it will make sure that the exact same words aren’t repeated over and over again.

As always, stay tuned! πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜€

Spin Rewriter API updated

We just added another action to the official Spin Rewriter API. It’s called “unique_variation_from_spintax” and it’s a rather useful one.

Say you have a piece of text that already comes with the {first option|second option} spinning syntax. You can pass it to our API with the “unique_variation_from_spintax” action and our server won’t do any additional processing at all – it will simply parse the existing spintax and return one of the possible variations. This is extremely helpful when you simply want to create a number of unique variations of text that’s already been spun.

All API documentation has already been updated with this new information, as well as all code samples for developers and the actual Spin Rewriter API SDK.

You can find out what’s new right here: http://www.SpinRewriter.com/api

Spin Distribute user interface updated

We just rolled out a number of updates that relate to the user interface of our article distribution system, named Spin Distribute.

The most important update is probably an improved and much more reliable feature that will constantly keep on calculating the longest possible variation of your spun “About the Author” texts. It will also instantly report when a single one of the unique variations of your text exceeds the maximum allowed number of letters. This way you’re absolutely safe from creating author texts that are too long and might get rejected by article directories in our distribution network.

Other updates were designed to make your work with Spin Distribute even easier and faster – we hope you like it! πŸ˜‰

Rewriting on phrase level improved

We just improved the phrase-level rewriting algorithms. Quite drastically, in fact! πŸ˜‰

Spin Rewriter is now even more accurate when it comes to guessing whether a freshly-built phrase represents a noun, a verb, an adjective, etc. Sure it’s easy enough to say that “muscle” is a noun, but when it comes to processing “abdominal muscle”, it takes some artificial intelligence to figure out that the whole phrase should still be treated as a noun, even though it comes with an adjective as well.

We also introduced big changes to the One-Click Rewrite algorithms when it comes to dealing with phrases. Before this update, Spin Rewriter mostly focused on single words when performing the One-Click Rewrite operation – now it treats multi-word phrases equally well and isn’t afraid to use them when it’s confident enough about their actual meaning.

We really think you’re gonna love this update in action – check it out now! πŸ˜€

 

One-Click Rewrite improved

We introduced a couple of new changes to the part of the Spin Rewriter web app that handles the One-Click Rewrite process …

Now you don’t simply get an estimate of the time the One-Click Rewrite process is going to take, you also get an accurate timer that counts down the seconds so you have a better feeling of how far along you actually are at any given moment.

We also made sure that if you cancel the One-Click Rewrite process while it’s still being performed on your article, you’re able to start a new one right away and your article stays perfectly formatted all this time. And we did our best to make the option to prevent selected keywords and key phrases from getting spun even more prominent and easier to notice.

That’s not all we’re introducing with this most recent update though … you know us. πŸ˜‰ We also made sure that abbreviations such as ‘re (are) and ‘ve (have) now always stick to the word that precedes them. This wasn’tΒ  always the case and it caused some confusion in the past. When you replace the ‘re with something like ‘are actually’, a new space is added in front of the new synonym so your text stays perfect. Spin Rewriter now also recognized the verb ‘have’ both when auxiliary (e.g. “I have done something.”) and when contracted (“I’ve no idea.”).

Oh, and before I forget – December is here, the most magical month of the year! Have fun! πŸ˜€

Spin Rewriter more robust & updated

Today we rolled out a pretty major Spin Rewriter update package, and we wanted to let you know about it. πŸ˜‰

  • Spin Rewriter is now more robust. Should it happen that our server loses connection to your browser for a couple of seconds, Spin Rewriter will automatically detect that, wait for 15 seconds and re-attempt to do what you wanted in the first place.
  • If you’re a bit hurried when you spin your articles on the sentence level and you sometimes introduce multiple periods at the end of random sentences as a result of that, you are going to love this update – it fixes all issues with multiple periods.
  • When you spin the article on sentence level, your new sentences will be trimmed of new-lines at the beginning and at the end before they are inserted into the actual text. This way you don’t get unwanted new paragraphs.
  • When you add a completely new phrase as a synonym for an existing phrase, the correct capitalization is preserved.

Aaand we have another update prepared for tomorrow. That’s right, tomorrow. πŸ˜€

(All the while we’re working on our API that will be released some time this week as well …) πŸ˜‰
