Checks against a list of 69 stock phrases and counts em dashes. Everything stays in your browser.
Result
Paste some text to see what stands out.
This only flags habits and cannot tell who wrote a text. In Reply Monk, a never-say list keeps chosen words out of your drafts, and the free “Sounds like you?” score marks sentences that drift from your style.
How to use it
- Paste your draft.
- Read the highlighted phrases and the counts.
- Replace each one with something specific that only you could say, or just delete it.
Tips
- Specific beats polished. A real number or a real name does more than any stock phrase.
- Delete the warm-up sentence at the start. The second sentence is usually the real opener.
- Use em dashes sparingly. Two in a post is plenty.
- Read the draft out loud. Anything you would never say to a person is a candidate for a rewrite.
Questions
Good to know
Can this tell if AI wrote my text?
No. Nothing can tell for sure. It only flags a list of phrases that tend to read as stock, whoever wrote them. People write “let that sink in” too.
Does it use AI?
No. It matches your text against a fixed list of phrases in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
