Repetition distance checker
Find recurring multiword phrases and measure the distance between their occurrences.
Choose 2 to 8 consecutive words and at least 2 to 100 occurrences. Comparison ignores intervening punctuation and uses NFC normalization and the selected case setting. Overlapping occurrences remain visible. Token-start distance and tokens between phrases are distinct measures; all positions are included in the full report. Repetition is not automatically an error. Use up to 500000 text characters and 20000 word tokens. Reports allow up to 10000 matches or repeated phrase groups. JSON and CSV preserve the full report, with bounded exports up to 40 million characters and 500000 CSV records. Analysis runs locally with a 10-second timeout. Preview search and sort cover the first 200 rows; copy returns the summary. Download the full report for every row. Your text is not uploaded. Up to 500,000 characters. Review the settings before running.
