Writing Style Checker

How to use this tool:

This tool highlights common writing issues that can weaken your writing:

Weasel Words

Words that sound good without conveying information (very, extremely, various, etc.)

Passive Voice

Constructions where the subject receives the action rather than performing it

Duplicate Words

Repeated adjacent words (click on highlighted duplicates to remove them)

Long Sentences

Sentences exceeding 30 words that may be hard to follow

Nominalizations

Nouns that could be replaced with stronger verbs (utilization → use)

Hedging Language

Phrases that weaken assertions (I think, it seems, etc.)

Filler Adverbs

Adverbs that add emphasis without substance (totally, utterly, etc.)

AI Tells

Words, phrases, and structures overrepresented in AI-generated text (delve, tapestry, "not just X — it's Y"), each flag citing its research source. Flags patterns — it does not prove authorship.

Note: The goal is not to eliminate all highlighted issues, but to make conscious choices about their use.
