Possible wordy phrases
No matches in the small phrase list. Other wording may still need review.
Repeated content words
No content word repeats three times. Repetition can still be useful for clarity.
This small word filter is literal. Necessary topic terms may appear often.
Optional AI editing partner
Compare a light edit, a plain-language version, and a version that is easier to scan. Review meaning before replacing your draft.
Clarity depends on context
Write for a reader, rather than a number
Readability depends on wording, structure, background knowledge, and the task a reader wants to complete. Shortening every sentence cannot address all those needs.
A technical term may be essential for specialists. Beginners may need an explanation, a clear example, or a smaller step before the same term becomes useful.
This checker shows measurable editing cues. It does not assign a reading age, measure comprehension, certify accessibility, or predict search performance.
What each observation means
Paragraph length
Paragraphs above 100 words receive a review cue. Consider whether a new paragraph, heading, or list would clarify separate ideas.
Wordy phrases
A small English phrase list suggests simpler alternatives. Read each phrase in context before changing it. The list cannot identify every difficult expression.
Repeated content words
Some words occurring at least three times are listed. Repetition can maintain clarity, especially for technical terms. Do not replace precise terms simply to vary vocabulary.
Words are counted as letter or number tokens, including internal apostrophes and hyphens. Sentence boundaries use English segmentation where available, with a simpler fallback.
An editorial example
Simplify the wording without strengthening the claim
Before
Due to the fact that AI can miss important context, a human editor should check every claim before making the decision to publish.
After
AI can miss important context. A human editor should check every claim before publishing.
The revision removes a wordy lead-in and separates the reason from the action. It keeps the uncertainty and the need for human review.
Three editing directions, three useful trade-offs
01
Light edit
Preserve the original voice and structure while reducing friction. Use this when the draft already fits its reader and needs focused cleanup.
02
Plain language
Explore simpler wording and shorter sentences. Review technical precision and necessary qualifications carefully before applying the changes.
03
Easy to scan
Explore shorter paragraphs or lists where useful. Check that splitting the text still preserves the relationship between ideas.
Readability questions
Can I check text without using AI?
Yes. Counts, highlights, phrase matches, and repeated-word observations run locally as you type. Only the revision request sends text to the provider.
Does the tool calculate Flesch or a school grade?
No. This version focuses on transparent passage checks. It does not estimate syllables, reading age, school grade, or a formula-based readability score.
Will a shorter revision rank better?
This tool does not predict rankings or traffic. Choose wording that helps your reader understand the actual topic and preserves accurate detail.
Does it verify that AI kept the meaning?
No. Literal checks flag certain numbers, required terms, and caution words. They can miss meaningful changes or flag harmless rewording.
Can I revise a complete long article?
Work section by section within the 4500-character source limit. Review transitions and overall structure separately when combining edited sections.
Will changing the source overwrite my comparison?
No. The comparison preserves the submitted original. Failed regeneration keeps previous revisions and edits. Successful regeneration creates a new comparison.
How do I save the revision?
Copy or download the selected text. Apply a revision to the source only after review. Local work is lost on refresh, so save it before leaving.
