STEP 01

Review purpose before polishing punctuation

Begin by naming the reader and the action they need to take. For an announcement, that might be registering before a deadline; for documentation, it might be completing a setup step. If the draft never supplies that information, a clean mechanical report will not make it useful. Read the opening and conclusion first, then check whether the middle supports the promised outcome.

The checker provides a second, narrower pass. It highlights long sentences, consecutive repeated English words, repeated non-empty lines, runs of horizontal whitespace, spaces before common punctuation, and paragraphs over 150 words. None of these is a proof of an error. They are observable cues that help you choose where to reread; they are not a readability grade, a plagiarism scan, a factual review, or AI detection.

STEP 02

Turn a flag into a specific editorial decision

Consider the example below. The repeated word is probably accidental, and the extra spaces are unnecessary in ordinary prose. The space before the final period is also worth reviewing. Correcting these three details leaves the meaning intact. The tool does not apply those changes because the same spacing might have a different purpose in an aligned table or a quotation.

For a long sentence, identify its main action and any dependent condition. A useful split preserves both: state the action, then state the exception. Do not remove a qualification merely to pass the selected threshold. Conversely, several very short sentences can still confuse a reader if they use undefined terms. Reread the paragraph as a whole after editing a flagged sentence.

Review cues: repeated word, repeated whitespace, space before punctuation.

STEP 03

Adjust the threshold to the writing task

The default sentence cue is more than 25 words. Change it between 10 and 60 to suit a short instruction, an academic explanation, or another house style. It is a configurable review threshold, not an official maximum or a guarantee of comprehension. Look at the relationship between ideas, not only the displayed count. A necessary definition can legitimately take more space.

Sentence detection here splits at periods, exclamation marks, question marks, and line boundaries. Abbreviations, decimal points, and dialogue can produce imperfect boundaries. Word counting uses the site's Unicode-aware English tokenizer. It accepts non-English input, but the repeated-word and punctuation rules target English prose; French spacing conventions, code, and languages without spaces need a different review approach.

STEP 04

Finish with a checklist the tool cannot automate

After the mechanical pass, check names, dates, quantities, links, and any claim that needs a source. Read headings alone to see whether the sequence makes sense. Confirm that every pronoun has a clear referent and that the same term names the same thing throughout. Read the draft aloud if rhythm or speaking time matters. Ask another person to test an instruction when the cost of misunderstanding is high.

Export the report to keep a record of review cues, then revise in your own editor and run a fresh check. The report includes short excerpts and the settings used; protect it like the original draft. Only the first 100 cues are displayed, with a full cue count for bounded input. No input is uploaded, no rewrite is generated, and the tool does not save a draft between visits.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you use the result

Does a zero-flag report mean the text is correct?

No. It means these limited patterns found no cues. Grammar, accuracy, tone, accessibility, and missing information still require review.

Should every duplicate line be removed?

No. Headings, refrains, quotations, and deliberate repetition can be valid. Compare both occurrences before changing the source.

Will my draft be changed or stored?

No. Results are suggestions only. Input stays in the current page's memory and is not saved between visits; download is an explicit browser action.
