    • Vocabulary Variety
      This tool helps you eliminate or enhance repetition. For ease of use, the areas with the least variety will always be bright red, and those with the most variety will always be bright green. Therefore, red regions are not necessarily mistakes, though they do warrant a closer look. Clicking on a word will display a list of the most common words that are nearby. This will help you decide if the area needs to be reworked.

  • Flow
    Variety is an important factor in the reader's level of interest. This tab shows graphical distributions of sentence type, length, and word length. Each is a moving average, with word length weighted to the sentences before and after. Remember that rolling waves are good, flatness is boring, and choppiness is jarring. Flow can be altered by adding, removing, lengthening, shortening, combining, or splitting sentences. If you don't see the peaks and valleys in the graphs, try tilting your head to the right. Click each type of meter for more specific explanations.

      Sentence length is a major contributor to the level of education required to read a body of text.
    • Sentence length standard deviation
      This is a measure of the amount of variation in the length of a text's sentences. In texts that have broad appeal, this tends to fall between 50 and 90% of the average sentence length. You can increase this number by making long sentences longer, and short ones shorter.
    • Sentence deviation to length ratio
      This is a measure of the sentence variety, and a major contributor to flow. Most novels score between 0.5 and 0.9, and popular ones often score near the high end of the range. You can increase this number by making long sentences longer, and short ones shorter.

    • Just the stats preset
      Use this preset when you're only interested in the stats tab. Critique and Flow will be hidden.
    • Honesty preset
      This preset checks for common indicators of deception, either by lying or omission, and is based on the findings ofthis study. Areas with high concentrations of these indicators should be viewed with skepticism. Note that the presence or absence of these indicators does not guarantee that a statement is true or false, and that the study was done on spoken communications, so it might be more applicable to interviews and speeches. As always, use your brain.
Style Tips
  • 双词加倍
    A word used twice in a row may be a typo.
  • 通常困惑的话
    This will check for the internet's most frequently confused words and notify you if it looks like you misused one. It is experimental and probably the least reliable feature. Consult a dictionary when necessary.
  • 句子以相同的单词开头
    A word should not be used to start more than one sentence in a single paragraph.
  • Recycled linking verbs
    Reusing linking verbs can make a sentence sound repetitive and boring. Keeping this to a minimum will pep your sentences up.

    More information »

  • 放置的连词
    It is considered poor style to place coordinating conjunctions at either end of a sentence. Placing a subordinating conjunction at the end of a sentence is against the rules.
  • Excessive prepositional phrases
    Using more than three prepositional phrases in a sentence can make it cumbersome.

  • Transition words and phrases
    Transitions connect ideas, and help the reader progress.

  • 放置的介词

  • Hidden verbs
    Hidden verbs are wordy substitutes for verbs. They are usually considered poor form.

    More information »

    A transitive verb is preceded by an auxilliary verb such as "be" or "get." It is the standard in scientific writing, but is frowned on in most other genres.

    Example:

    It说that one day, passive voice will bring weakness to your prose.

  • Overwriting
    Words like "very" and "really" make sentences wordier and weaken your message. These can be deleted in almost all cases without affecting the meaning of the sentence.
  • Abstract words
    抽象词汇缺乏特异性和过度使用它们can make even simple concepts difficult to understand. There are times when abstract words are desirable or even necessary; it would be difficult to write about math or programming without mentioning variables or functions, but you should use more specific terms whenever possible.
  • word
    These phrases make your writing more difficult to understand. In most cases, they can be replaced with one or two words, or even deleted.
  • Legalese
    These antiquated, arcane words and phrases will make your writing look like a contract.
  • Double negatives
    Double negatives are almost always poor style.
  • Adverbs
    They aren't bad in small quantities, but consider revising your document if more than 5.5% of its words are adverbs. Adverbs ending in "-ly" are considered the worst offenders.
  • Adjectives
    They aren't bad in small quantities. A few of the words on this list can also function as other parts of speech. You have been warned.
  • 收缩
    In formal writing, the use of contractions is considered a fault.
  • 俚语
    俚语can add character to fiction, but should be avoided in formal writing

    Example:

    拳击手deckedhis opponent.

  • Profanity
    Profanity should not be used in formal writing outside of direct quotations.
  • Clichés
    These over-used, informal phrases should be avoided like the plague under most circumstances.

    Example:

    The critic's scathing review撞到头上.

  • Similes
    Similes and metaphors should be used sparingly. This option will detect most common types of similes.
  • "Said" replacements
    Some people think that these substitutes for "said" are weak or obnoxious, especially if overused.
  • Weak descriptions
    Using any form of "be" before an adjective weakens the description. Try rewriting the sentence without the unnecessary verb. This will give it a more lively feel, which improves the flow of the surrounding paragraph.

    Example:

    Bad:

    Her dresswas long， 和it touched the floor.

    Good:

    Her long dress touched the floor.

  • 分裂的无限剂
    分裂的无限剂通常被认为是差的形式。

  • Gender-specific pronouns
    Avoid using gender-specific pronouns in formal writing when the subject's gender is unknown.
  • 鼬鼠的话
    像抽象的单词一样，鼬鼠单词和短语缺乏特殊性。充其量，它们传达不确定性。在最坏的情况下，他们可以用简单的方式来“屈服”说实话。在检查本质上具有投机性的文档时，您可能需要禁用该检测器。
  • Third person pronouns
    According tothis study, high concentrations of third person pronouns may indicate deception.
  • Bias language
    这些单词和短语经常表明作者的偏见。
  • Function words
    Function words carry little meaning, but serve as glue for sentences. We recommend that you use this detector by itself, since function words are so common. For the sake of convenience, we've created a special preset for this.

  • Uncommon words
    罕见的单词会增加文档的阅读困难。
  • Filter words
    Filter words are verbs that can distance the reader from the action by removing the sense of immediacy. Consider rephrasing sentences that contain them.

术语
  • Independent clauses
    An independent clause is a group of words that contains a noun and a verb, and could stand alone as a sentence. Every sentence has at least one, and any additional ones must begin with a comma or semicolon. If this app detects an overabundance of complex sentences, it probably means that they are missing punctuation.

    Example:

    辣椒烧了我的嘴，but I eat them anyway.

    More information »

  • Dependent clauses
    A dependent clause is a group of three or more words that contains a noun and a verb, but can't form a sentence. They will usually be preceded by a subordinating word.

    Example:

    Since burritos taste good, I like to eat them.

  • 句子片段

  • Compound sentences
    复合句子有多个independent clause， 和nodependent clauses.
