About this repeated phrase & cliché finder
Repeated Phrase & Cliché Finder — browser-based utility.
How this tool works
Implements client-side Repeated Phrase & Cliché Finder operations. Extracts n-grams (length 2-5) and counts identical contiguous phrase matches specifically designed for a copywriter detects inadvertently repeated phrases and filler words across a sales landing page.
- Grapheme Cluster Segmentation: Segments text using Intl.Segmenter or UAX #29 boundaries to accurately treat multi-codepoint emojis and combining diacritics as single visual characters.
- Syntactic Chunking: Splits content into sentences using punctuation lookaheads while ignoring honorifics (e.g. 'Dr.', 'Inc.') and decimal numbers.
- Syllable & Entropy Calculation: Computes syllable counts per word and calculates Shannon lexical entropy ($H = -\sum p_i \log_2 p_i$) to measure vocabulary diversity.
- Index Synthesis & Metric Formatting: Produces target grade levels, estimated silent reading times (at 200-250 WPM), and speaking times (at 130-150 WPM).

Limits and verification
Handles unspaced scripts (such as Chinese, Japanese, and Thai) by switching to character/ideograph counting rather than space-delimited word tokens. Filters extreme text lengths gracefully up to browser memory limits.
Examples demonstrate an expected workflow; they do not prove every input or every branch of an external specification. Check important results with an independent source before using them for money, security, compliance, safety, or irreversible file changes.
Browser processing boundary
Tool input is processed by code running in the browser and is not intentionally sent to a CZOA processing API. The page can still request ordinary site assets, analytics, or advertising when those services are enabled. Browser extensions and managed-device software remain outside this tool's control.

Frequently asked questions
What phrase lengths does Repeated Phrase Finder examine?+
It lowercases Unicode letter-or-number tokens and counts every contiguous phrase from two words through five words, limited further by half of the token count.
What did the browser fixture verify?+
For one two one two, the JSON result included the repeated phrase one two with count 2.
How are phrase results ordered?+
It filters to counts above one, then sorts longer phrases first, higher counts next, and finally uses localeCompare on the phrase text.
Does it recognize paraphrases or repeated ideas?+
No. It only compares exact lowercased token sequences. Synonyms, punctuation changes, stemming, language morphology, quotations, and semantic duplication are outside its detection.
