Understanding Repeated Words Detection

The Repeated Words feature automatically identifies instances where the same word appears twice in succession, which is typically a typing error. For example, in phrases like “He was was walking” or “The time time flew by,” the feature helps you spot and fix these common mistakes.

How It Works

The feature scans your text and:

  • Detects words that appear twice in succession
  • Highlights these duplicate words
  • Allows quick removal of the repeated word with a single click
  • Provides a summary of all repeated words found in your text

Word Detection and Correction

When you run the Repeated Words check, duplicate words are immediately underlined in your text. You can click on any highlighted word to remove the duplicate instance.

For a comprehensive view of all duplicates, use the “Show Results” button to open the results panel. This panel lists all repeated words found in your text and allows you to navigate between different instances. Each entry shows the number of times that particular word is repeated, making it easy to systematically review and correct all duplications.
