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.

Use Google Translate to translate it into Albanian. Paste that into the
translation form and translate it into Romanian. Translate the resulting
Romanian back into English. It will look just as if you thought of it
yourself. Your teachers will never know.

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 bank without risking being
caught.
On the other hand, if your question is more legitimate then it appears,
then what you need to do is the following: read and re-read until you
understand it thoroughly. Then put it away and write in your own style
without looking at the original again until you've finished. If that
sounds like too much work, then that's tough.

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 grading student work. So far, so
good. (Although I've found, myself, that it's a lot faster to take a
random phrase from a student essay and submit it to Google. It's
remarkable how often this gives you a fresh copy of the entire essay.
Which is why academics were discouraged from using that form of
checking.) The catch is that the students are required to run their work
through Turnitin before submitting it. That way, they can keep iterating
until Turnitin no longer detects the plagiarism.
