More about the Filler Word Counter
Actually, basically, really, just, these words add essentially no information to a sentence, removing most of them changes nothing about what's actually being said, yet they creep into both spoken speech as a nervous verbal habit and writing as a reflexive hedge, and neither shows up in an ordinary word frequency count as anything worth flagging on its own. This tool counts filler words specifically, a named category of words that pad a sentence without adding meaning, rather than treating them as just another word in a general frequency count. Useful for cleaning filler words out of a script before recording a video or a podcast, spotting a hedging habit creeping into professional writing, or tightening a speech or a presentation by cutting words that were never actually doing any work.
