Writing, Publishing & Localization Tools
Fifteen private editing tools: sentence length, passive voice, filler words and clichés, keyword density, house style, headlines, tone, glossaries, acronyms, subtitle validation and timing, translation quotes and Unicode scripts.
About these tools
Each editing tool checks one thing and shows the evidence: the sentence, the phrase, the rule that fired. None of them rewrites your text for you, and none of them sends it anywhere - drafts, manuscripts and client copy stay in your browser tab.
Style and tone results are rules and word lists, not judgements about quality. A passive sentence or a hedge can be exactly right, so the tools report and explain rather than score you down. The subtitle and localisation tools follow published broadcaster and Unicode guidance, and name the guideline each limit comes from.

All Writing, Publishing & Localization Tools
- Sentence Length Analyzer See every sentence's word count as a rhythm chart, find the long ones, check variety and average length against a target, and jump straight to the sentences that need splitting.
- Passive Voice Detector Highlight passive-voice constructions - be-verb plus past participle, including irregular verbs and get-passives - with the agent where stated, a passive percentage and an active rewrite pattern for each.
- Filler Word and Cliché Detector Highlight filler words, clichés, hedging phrases, weak qualifiers and unnecessary intensifiers with counts and density by category, sentence context, custom allow and block lists, and a before/after comparison.
- Keyword Density Checker Measure keyword density for single words and two- and three-word phrases, see where a target keyword appears - title, headings, first paragraph - and spot over-repetition, from pasted text or a public URL.
- Editorial Style Guide Checker Check a draft against a house style: preferred spellings and terms, banned words, number and date formats, serial comma, capitalisation of headings and UK or US spelling, with your rules saved as JSON.
- Headline Score Analyzer Score headlines on transparent rules - length in characters and words, specificity, numbers, clarity and front-loaded keywords - preview search-result truncation, and compare variants side by side.
- Writing Tone Analyzer Read the tone signals in a draft - formality, confidence versus hedging, warmth, directness and jargon - from transparent word and phrase lists, sentence by sentence, with the evidence for each reading.
- Glossary Builder Build a glossary from a document: candidate terms by frequency and capitalisation, your definitions and translations, forbidden variants, and export as CSV, TBX-style XML or a formatted glossary page.
- Acronym Extractor Extract acronyms and abbreviations from a document, match each to its spelled-out expansion, flag ones never defined or defined after first use, and export an abbreviations list.
- SRT Subtitle Validator Validate an SRT subtitle file: cue numbering, timecode syntax, overlapping and zero-length cues, out-of-order timing, blank lines, encoding and BOM problems, with line references and a repaired file.
- Subtitle Reading Speed Checker Check every subtitle cue's reading speed in characters per second and words per minute against a chosen guideline, with minimum and maximum duration, gap and line-length checks.
- Subtitle Line Break Formatter Re-break subtitle text into one or two balanced lines within a character limit, avoiding breaks after articles and prepositions and inside names, and export SRT or WebVTT with timing unchanged.
- Translation Cost Calculator Estimate a translation quote from word counts per language pair, your per-word rates, repetitions and translation-memory fuzzy-match bands, minimum fees, rush and review surcharges.
- Unicode Script Detector Identify the writing systems in text by Unicode script - Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Devanagari, Han and more - find mixed-script words and look-alikes, direction marks and invisible characters.
- Plain Language Analyzer Check a draft against plain-language guidance: jargon and long words with simpler alternatives, nominalisations, long sentences, passive voice and reading grade, with each finding linked to the guideline.
