Frequently asked questions
Why exclude stopwords?
Common words like "the" and "and" dominate every text. Filtering them surfaces meaningful repetition.
What repetition is a red flag?
The same content word appearing more than ~1% of total words often indicates AI looping or author crutch vocabulary.
Can I use this for character names?
Yes — though the Proper Noun Extractor is better for capitalized names and places.
