Over 50 filler phrases, 150+ clichés, and a comprehensive passive voice detector with an adjective exception list to reduce false positives. The dictionaries are continuously refined to catch the most common bloat in professional writing.

Yes. Click any highlighted phrase to reveal action buttons. Replace swaps it with the suggested alternative (preserving capitalization). For "delete it" suggestions, the phrase is removed and spacing is cleaned up. Keep (dismiss) removes the highlight if you want to keep the original phrasing.

Yes. After scanning, the Apply All button automatically replaces every filler phrase and cliché with its suggested alternative (passive voice highlights are left for manual review). You'll see a before-and-after comparison panel showing exactly how many words were saved and how your bloat percentage improved.

0% = clean. Under 1% = minor bloat. Under 2.5% = some bloat. Under 5% = bloated. 5%+ = very bloated. Most professional writing should aim for under 2.5%. The stats bar shows your exact percentage and estimated words wasted.

No automated tool is perfect. The filler and cliché dictionaries cover the most common offenders but may miss niche jargon or creative expressions. Passive voice detection uses regex + an exception list; it catches most cases but may miss complex constructions or produce rare false positives. Always review suggestions in context.
