What's the fastest way to rewrite something so it's not plagiarism?

Let's say there's a page of text someone wrote. I want a way to convert it from the author's words quickly into text that doesn't look like their words. It normally takes me forever to do this and I would like a method and/or computer program that would let it take place really fast.

Why do you want to do this? It reads as if you want to plagiarize without risking an accusation of plagiarizing. If so, then I'd no more tell you than I'd tell you how to rob a ba

I have done that with other languages and it still looked too similar and somewhat ruined the text.
Albanian and Romanian are not in google translator. Are those languages somehow more useful?

I normally have to do that but it takes many hours sometimes days. Is there a technique to make it go faster?

Well, sure. It takes a lot of work to avoid a lawsuit. Or an "F" on your term paper.

Is there some natural law that says that plagiarists are more easily whooshed than other people?

My former university has an interesting approach to this. There's some software called Turnitin that is supposed to detect plagiarism, and all academics were asked to use it while

Try Tom Sawyer's method (as used for whitewashing a fence.) The work went no faster but Tom had more free time.
