For dictabloggers, the point of producing rewrites is primarily to resolve existing errors from the original content and create something that will be better in every way while saving time.

Rewrites are supposed to be original apart from their original sources
When you rewrite content, you’re not simply tweaking the material in some areas, and leaving the rest as they are, but making sure that there is no duplicate text in your output. The best way to go about it is to consider the content as a source literature.
Rewrites save you time since there is less research involved
The difference between a rewrite and an original composition is the research involved in writing them. Since your rewrite will have the source’s sole reference, it’s quite easy. There is no need to look elsewhere. But you can focus on the original content and craft your rewrite based on it.
High quality rewrites preserve source structure only when it makes sense
You can boost your rewrites quailty by studying the general structure of your source and writing the content in your own words following this. The existing structure usually provides excellent guidance when you draft your rewrite.

Excellent rewrites preserves all the vital information of their sources
As you move along in writing your version of the content, make sure that you utilize all information available in the source. The idea is not to miss out on any relevant material from the source nor add substantially to it. Stick to what the original content provides nothing more and nothing less.

Do not assume your dictated content will automatically pass Copyscape

Always proofread and edit transcribed dictated rewrties
Lastly, proofread your rewrite and compare with the original content if it is exceptional in every way. The goal of rewriting content is to produce superior material so at the end of your rewriting task, you should have achieved this. There you go. You have learned how to produce rewrites that will be outstanding and authentic.
