何时使用

Use the filler-word detector on emails, marketing copy, presentation scripts, and any writing where every word should earn its keep. Especially common targets: tighten cover letters and executive summaries.

与其他指标对比

Filler detection is the modern complement to passive-voice and adverb detection — three views of the same weak-prose problem. Run all three to fully audit a draft.

工作原理

Filler-word detection scans for overused intensifiers ("very", "really"), hedges ("kind of", "sort of"), discourse markers ("basically", "actually"), and qualifiers ("just", "simply").

Each match is categorized so you can target the worst category in your draft.

Multi-word fillers ("you know", "I mean") are matched as phrases. The rate metric is the percentage of total words flagged as filler.

常见问题

What counts as a filler word?

Intensifiers ("very", "really"), hedges ("kind of"), discourse markers ("basically", "actually"), and redundant qualifiers ("just", "simply").

Should I remove every filler?

No — some carry meaning in context. The detector flags candidates; you decide. Aim for the worst offenders, not zero.

Is "really" always weak?

No. "I really want to go" emphasizes desire. "It really was the best" is genuine. Cut it when it's an empty intensifier ("really good" → "good" or "great").

示例

输入

"This is actually a really simple problem that we can basically just fix in literally five minutes."

输出

5 fillers in 16 words (31%) — heavy filler.

"Actually", "really", "basically", "just", "literally" each add nothing. Removing them: "This is a simple problem we can fix in five minutes."

常见陷阱

  • Some "fillers" carry real meaning in context ("really" = "actually" vs. emphasizer).
  • Dialogue and informal prose deliberately use discourse fillers ("you know", "I mean") for voice — don't cut them in fiction.
  • Hedge fillers ("kind of", "sort of") may be appropriate in academic writing where epistemic hedging is expected.
  • Eliminating all filler can produce robotic prose — target the worst offenders, not 0%.
